CHAPTER XIX

ALICE was softly crooning to herself as her
mother turned the corner of the house and
approached through the dusk.

"Isn't it the most beautiful evening!" the daugh-
ter said. "Why can't summer last all year? Did
you ever know a lovelier twilight than this,
mama?"

Mrs. Adams laughed, and answered, "Not since I
was your age, I expect."

Alice was wistful at once. "Don't they stay beauti-
ful after my age?"

"Well, it's not the same thing."

"Isn't it? Not--ever?"

"You may have a different kind from mine," the
mother said, a little sadly. "I think you will, Alice.
You deserves-----"

"No, I don't. I don't deserve anything, and I
know it. But I'm getting a great deal these day--
more than I ever dreamed could come to me. I'm--
I'm pretty happy, mama!"
