"Now that the war is declared, I am sorry;" admitted Mrs. Madison, "for so many Americans will be killed." "Instead of Cubans. I've done with the war. I won't even regret." For three days Betty shopped furiously, or held long consultations with her dressmaker. On Sunday, after church, she read to her mother, but refused to discuss her engagement, and on Monday she resumed her shopping.
She managed to stay at home as much as possible, and sometimes he took the Masons along for company. Mrs. Mason gloried in it, and lived at the great hotels and shopped at the highest-priced antique stores to her heart's delight.
But weeks had passed and not one of them had paid her the mere civilities. She met them sometimes on Saturday afternoons, when all the world of Rosewater shopped on Main Street, and they invariably greeted her with effusion, and assured her they were "going out soon." Finally, busy and absorbed as she was, she fell a prey to curiosity.
Barrington would like them to come as soon after the 20th of August as they could. Lilian could not conceal her joy. They shopped a little, finding some bargains from early spring left-overs. They packed up a few things and disposed of the rest. Lilian's few friends were surprised. Sally hoped she would not be disappointed.

Ben was invited to select a high-stepping gray horse a pair of cobs a tiny brougham a victoria a piano a pianola. Deena shopped till she almost sank exhausted, and yet the requests kept coming. If dear Mrs.

And, of course, the transcontinental was late. When was it not late, when you were in a hurry? "How late?" "Four hours, last report," the operator answered. She sent her suit case across to the hotel, and shopped, and loitered up and down the platform.
