Dolly didn’t care.< Here in her small room, with the rickety dresser and uncomfortable chair, she began think ing of Christmas at home. She assured herself that she was perfectly satis fied where she was, but it Jfd no harm to remember some of the fun she had had In the square old house in the village. She forgot her supper; she forgot that she was goiag ts the “movies.” She sat on the edge of hcr'bed and desped her hands ni'eund her,knees. Her blue eyes were blind to the cracked window shade and the diuity looklrg globe of the electric light She saw instead the big lamp on the mid dle of the living room table at homo. The lamp had a cheerful yellow shade. Looks and inagazines were scattered about. Her mother was wrapping up the last packages.

And they went home without saying another word. “Well,” sighed DoUy aloud, “I must get my supper.” W’hlle she was busy heating water for coffee, cutting and buttering bread rnd washing lettuce in her sink she heard a man’s footstep pass the door. Why she listened gt his passing she could not guess, but when a rlear whistle broke the chill silence of the I’.all site dropped the lettuce, and with out knowing wliot she was doing, she flung open the door. Dolly pursed her Ups and whistled a feeble likeness to the cheery tune now descending the stairs. The w hole expression of her face hqd changed. , Her eyes sparkled, her face Avas flushed, her very hair Seemed to curl more prettily about her ears. The footsteps halted; the tune ( Happy, Prosperous New Year .'■i *.
