AN EMERALD FOR FAY. So it was irrevocable! Ned was to marry Fay little silly, selfish, mercenary, unsubstantial Fay Summers. Edith was at her inexhaustible mending basket when her brother had come skittering in to tell her, leaving a light kiss on her cheek as he skittered out again. She felt so tired in spirit that she was tempted to make no resistance, to let things take their course. But soon the reaction came. Her woman's spirit bade her persist. Might she not awaken Fay to what she must expect of hardship and sacrifice in marrying on nothing Bave a mechanic's pay and indefinite prospects? Edith's delicacy recoiled from the unpleasant task, thankless at best, unwieft t worst. For with a sham little

leap of conscience it popped into her mind that perhaps this willingness of Fay to marry Edgar showed a loyalty, a faith and confidence which Edith herself was lacking. Perhaps she was wronging Fay, Perhaps Fay had more character thas she suspected. Well she would find out! Stuffing her unfinished sewing back into Its basket. Edith rose with a briskness of one wanting to get a bad piece of work overwith as soon as possible. As she walked up the path to Lily Blake's house she saw Fay on the porch working a doily. It was a useless-looking doily, that wouldn't stand washing, Edith's economy-trained eye noted it at once. 1 Miss Summers looked up with an overdone smile and made ' room for Edith by sweeping from a chair to the floor a pile of newspapers on which a kitten was asleep. Edith picked up the startled kitten and stroked its satin ears. She decided diplomacy would be wasted on Fay Summers. "You know. Fav. there are a lot

of things," Edith plunged, "that no

one tells a girl who is thinking of marriage things that, realized beforehand, inlght make her slow to take a step from which it is hard to turn back, Harsh economies for instance. It won't be easy to keep house on Ned's pay. He'll only get $20 a week at first." ' Fay went on making orange-colored orchids on her flimsy doily. Edith saw her cheek flush a deeper pink ' "But he is going to earn much more than that. Mrs. Ferrol." retorted Fay.

"Aunt Lil and Uncle Al think his invention should be worth a hundred thousand. Some one is sure to buy it. It is absurd to think of Ned working for wages except except for a few weeks, till his real worth Is appreciated." "But suppose it Is not Immediately appreciated," Edith submitted. "You would have to do your own housework, your own cooking and sewing and

ance oi u a weea lor nuuau expeuoca and clothes, yet I have an incessant struggle, Fay to make ends meet. If there Bhould be illness or or a baby, think what it would mean without a penny in reserve or " Fay shot Edith a look of outraged modesty that baited her. Fay did not wish to near unpleasant, not to say vulgar, predictions. Her idea of marriage was to be protected from all coarse cares and worries. As soon as the ceremony ended, the magic gates of love would shut out the world of everyday. She would be clothed and fed and housed and entertained by means she had no desire to analyze. Why did this meddlesome sister-in-law come with her horrid croakings! Just because she had married a poor, commonplace man, she needn't think every

hniiv was eolrnr to soena tneir lives

worrying about the price of meat and j

potatoes and rent and clothes! That was a man's business, to make money, and Ned was' going to do it!," Fay wouldn't even think of anything else. "Won't you postpone your engagement. Fay " Edith had recovered her poise and was continuing despite

the lines of resentment that were rob- J mtarhe dXbis ri"i"nation to tb4 bing Fay's mouth of its beauty, "until Slte wSATmiSBto -

Ned's invention is on the market?"

"Thank you," mocked Fay coldly. As soon as he gives me the ring I am going to have an engagement luncheon!" "Ring!" gasped Edith, thinking of Ned's hideous debts and the still more hideous possibility of his geting In deeper. , , "Well, I hope he thinks enough of me to do the right things," bridled Fay. "I want an emerald! It's the only colored stone that's really smart, don't you think?" But what Edith thought she did not clothe in words, for Ned was coming up the pathway, (To be continued.)
