There were a few pieces of jewelry more valuable for their associations than for their intrinsic worth, the gold framed photographs of Grandfather and Grandmother Avion, which clasped like a little book, and the miniature of Janice's mother painted on ivory when she was a girl by a painter who had since become very famous.
So, when her mind was not fixed upon her lessons, it was not likely that even Stella Latham's birthday party occupied much of Janice's thought. She started home from school as soon as she was released, considering if she could get the back kitchen cleaned up before it was time to get supper for daddy.
You will hurt yourself. Why don't you look where you are going?" "I do look," Lottie responded pouting. Then she wriggled all her ten fingers before Janice's face. "Don't you see my lookers? I can see oh! so nicely! with my fingers. You know I always could, Janice Day." 'Rill shook her head and sighed. It was plain the bride was a very lenient stepmother indeed perhaps too lenient.
Aunt 'Mira had spent some of Janice's board money on the furnishings of the house as well as in silk dresses and automobile veils. There were new curtains at the windows; the sitting-room had a new rag carpet woven by a neighbor; the rather worn boards of the kitchen were covered with brightly-figured linoleum. Inside and out there were now few "loose ends" about the old Day house.
The instrument had not been much in use since the death of Janice's mother. Somehow it seemed to both Janice and daddy that they did not care to hear the piano that mother played so frequently for them in the evening. But the instrument was in use now no mistaking it. There are different ways of playing a mechanical piano. Delia's way was to get all the noise out of it that was possible.
We ain't rich, of course; but there's enough to fill another mouth yet awhile, so don't be bashful. "'Hoping this finds you and Janice in health, it leaving us all the same, I will close, "'Your, sister-in-law and Janice's aunt, "'ALMIRA DAY." "I hope you won't have to go, and that I won't have to go, Daddy!" exclaimed the girl anxiously. "She's a good soul Almira. She'd do her best by you."
Don't know him," said Gummy, cheerfully, as the single occupant of the tonneau stepped out of the car and entered the gate. He was a well-dressed man, of more than middle age, and Janice's heart began to beat faster. It did seem as though something must be about to happen. Daddy was on the porch and she could see him greet the gentleman without rising. The stranger took a seat at Mr.
For the first time in her life, Janice's head would keep on thinking after it was resting on its pillow, and many a time that enviable repository was called upon to dry her tears and cool her burning cheeks. Never, it seemed to her, had man or woman borne so great a burden of trouble. The change in the girl was too great not to be noticed by the household of Greenwood. Mrs.
Janice's doubt grew in the next two days, for by not a word or act did the aide even hint that such a hope was present in his thoughts. Their every need was his care, and all his spare time was passed in their company; but his manner conveyed only the courtesy of the friend, and never the tenderness of the lover.
He seemed to be saying that to Janice from his photograph; therefore the girl was not likely to lose her interest in such a momentous affair as the new schoolhouse. There was another interest that held Janice's mind and sympathy. This was the condition of poor little Lottie Drugg. As she had been quite blind when Janice first met her, now her hearing had departed entirely.
