When the heart is heavy it needs a confidante, but Patty, brave and loyal, denied herself the luxury of her mother's arms. Tell her this frightful story? Bow that proud, handsome head? No. "It is very strange," mused her mother, one evening, "that Mr. Warrington calls no more. I rather miss his cheerfulness, and John thinks so much of him." Patty shivered. "He is very busy, mother.
A pitiless fact was breaking into her understanding, shattering wall after wall of incredulity, of conviction that such a thing was too terrible to be true. She longed to get Patty away; but when she urged her in a whisper to go downstairs, the girl only shook her head, without moving her eyes from the haggard face on the pillow.
The musical entertainment was being planned for some weeks hence, as it was not easy to find a near-by date which suited all concerned. One morning, as Patty was fluttering around her boudoir and looking over her mail, the telephone rang and the familiar "Hello, Princess," sounded in her ear. "Hello, most noble Knight," she responded, "what would'st thou of me?"
Can you smile benignly, Susan?" Susan tried, and after one or two lessons from Patty, was pronounced proficient in that art. "Then, Susan, if there's music, you must listen, and wag your head in appreciation, so! When we dance, you must look on with interest and again smile benignly.
At sight of the three astonished girls the three young men looked equally amazed, and whipping off their caps, they made profound bows to the strangers.

"You'll give it back to me now when I ask for it?" "I'll give it back to Patty Martin, miss, and to no one else." "Oh, but really, really, don't you understand? It's my ring." "I've only your word for that, miss.

Patty was to occupy the lower berth and Elise the wide and comfortable sofa. For they concluded they could chatter better if on a level.
And I don't want to be treated as if I were an ingrate because I don't! Ken is a splendid man, noble souled and all that, but I don't love him and never shall. Now please, Nan, be nice to me." "Why, Patty, dear, I never dreamed of NOT being nice to you! I do want you to realise what you're throwing away, but if you couldn't be happy with Ken, of course, you mustn't marry him.
