The active, restless, rapidly-unfolding nature must have constant occupations and interests; so for the sister's sake she did what she never would have done for her own. She began to cultivate the social life of her church; went to Christian Endeavor meetings, socials, and Y.M.C.A. addresses.

"I guess my Dutch cut made more show than my ribbons would have," she whispered. Making a show was about all that Patricia cared for, the only other thing that she appeared to think worth while was meddling in other people's affairs. Mrs. Marvin decided to make the weekly socials very different from what they had been.
