"Well, as that good-looking chap happens to be my father, I'll take pleasure in introducing you." "I am glad to see you, sir," said Kenneth Harper, as Patty presented him to her father, "and I may as well own up that I was just making remarks on your personal appearance, which accounts for my blushing embarrassment." "I won't inquire what they were," said Mr.Fairfield, "lest I, too, should become embarrassed.

But, Patty, my girl, if we're going back to Vernondale on the six-o'clock train, it's time we were starting." "Oh, do you live in Vernondale ?" inquired Kenneth.

"I have an aunt there.

I wonder if you know her.

Her name is Daggett--Miss Rachel Daggett." "Indeed I do know her," said Patty.
