Some day I'll be so well off that Bea can play with Mrs. Elder--and you! nine guests at the service in the un- painted Lutheran Church--Carol, Kennicott, Guy Pollock, and the Champ Perrys, all brought by Carol; Bea's frightened rustic parents, her cousin Tina, and Pete, Miles's ex- partner in horse-trading, a surly, hairy man who had bought a black suit and come twelve hundred miles from Spokane for the event, Miles continuously glanced back at the church door. Jackson Elder did not appear. The door did not once open after the awkwand entrance of the first guests. Miles's hand closed on Bea's arm. He had, with Carol's help, made his shanty over into a cottage with white curtains and a canary and a chintz chatr, ' Carol coaxed the powerful mat- rons to call on Bea.

Bea's successor , was the oldish, broad, silent Oscarina, who was suspicious of her frivolous mistress for a month, so that Juanita Hay- dock was able t0 crow, "There, smarty, I told you you'd run into the Domestic Problem!"

She was unexpectedly appointed to the town library-board oy Ole Jenson, the new Mayor, The other members were Dr. Westlake, Lyman Cass; Julius Flickerbaugh the attorney, Guy Pollock, and Martin Mahoney, former livery-stable keeper and now owner of a garage.

She planning to revolutionize the whole syetem. Her condescension was riftned and her: humility wholesomely increased when she found the board, in the shabby room on the second floor of the house which had been ¢onverted into the library, not discussing the weather and longing to play check. ers, but talking about books. She discovered that amiable old Dr. West: lake read everything in verse and "Hght fiction"; that Lyman Cass, the veal-faced, bristly-bearded owner .of the mill, had tramped through Gib- bon, Hume, Grote, P tt, and the other thick historians; that he could repeat pages from them..and did. When Dr. Westlake whispered to her, "Yes, Lym is a very well-informed man, but he's modest about it," she felt uninformed and immodest, and scolded at herself that she had miss- the Koran, she reflected that no one she knew, not even her father, had read ll Tour, . 3 She came diffidently to the second meeting of the board.
