{E doorbell rang loudly through
the little house.
"That must be your A'unt Dor

she‘d stop in for me on her way to
the hospital to see Lulu's baby. ,. ."
Gloria groaned.
Aunt Dorcas was s born gossip.
She told everything she knew for the
pure joy of seeing the look of sur‘
prise and interest dawn in her its-
tencrs' eyes.
"Now. Mother. please don’t tel’
her anything about this trouble be-
tween Dick and me," Gloria begged.
“If you do. it'll be all over town by
dark!"
But she knew it was useless to ask
her mother not to tell Aunt Dorcas
anything. She was wax in the hands
of Lulii's mother. ‘
Aunt Dorcas was large and blond.
She had the nose of 3 Roman sens,

"I would. . -. . I'd love to." ilbbed
Gloria. “but I've got to go home.”
She ran upstairs to get 'oer hat
and over-night beg.
"Been here all night?" Aunt Dor-
one asked sharply. Her eyes were
fixed on the little bag. .
"No." Gloria answered reluctantly.
She shot a warning look at her
mother.

She tapped her foot nngrily on the
floor.
"She thinks she has it great deiil."
Gloria said softly. “And she nnd

At six o‘clock that night she put
them on the stove. The peas and
