AMY'S DECISION Chapter 24 It was .June when Mrs. Talbot's family first gathered about her. It was well into July now, when Claire announced that she could not stand any more country life. She was to leave in a few daysshe only delayed to have clotheslaundered and to write to her maid in the city to open and clean the apartment for her return. Amy was rold she could go to that girl's unbounded joy. Amy did practically no sleeping between the time she knew she was to go away and the actual departure. She flew from end to end of the house, and about the lawn, her red hair making sunlight wherever she went, her eyes alight. She would break out into trills and songs then repress herself, know-

back, and I'll come home."
