T h e big g r a y cai' drew up in I'l'oiit of a lai'g'o stone building.

" H e l l o .Mae, I'm glad w e ' i ' e — w e ' t ' e g o i n g to the eounti-y t o d a y ,

Her aubui-n

those great, deej), blaek-lashed eyes, were filled with tears, one small

T h e g r a y ear sped almost noiselessly a l o n g the i)aved sti-eets
and [d'etty soon in^o the country.
A b o u t five, miles iVom the city

back.
When an i n v i l i n g lunch had been spi'ead under a b i g tree, he

Loi-i'aine's mother had died w h e n she w a s an i n f a n t , and f o r

that a life such as his sisters offered would be more suitable foi- his

One day she had gone out and left the box on her dresser.

and read the stories.
From that day, he and Lorraine had been w o n d e r f u l friends,
and it w a s to Mac that Lorraine ran to read her stories and to tell
of her adventui'es of her life with her father.

T h i s hurt tlie cliild's seiisilive spirit, but her pride held up her
h a u g h t y little chin and no one ever k n e w tlie truth, except ^lae.
Mac, or John William M c K i n l e y , had been witli the Kiuipp sisters f o r years, antl wlien they discovei'ed that lie could keep Loi*raine entertained f o r hours at a time, and that the little gii-l enj o y e d being "with him, they g a v e tlieir f u l l permission f o r Loi-raine

Tlie little g i r l n e v e r cried at home, not even in the recess of
her high ceilinged, mahogany-furnislied, stiff r o o m ; but in the coiuit r y w i t h ^lac, it w a s easy to f o r g e t that she w a s almost t w e l v e and
much too big to ci'y.
This time, as many times before, Mac soothed her.
"Nevei-
mind, honey, some d a y y o u ' l l be a great w r i t e r and meet lots of
people w h o will w a n t to k n o w

Mac believed s t r o n g l y in the ability of his y o u n g mistress as a

In a f e w minutes, L o r r a i n e

" S a y it as if y o u meant i t , " he demanded, " P r o m i s e ! "
"1
promise, Mae, and I'll keep my i)romise. 1 will, f o i ' e v e r ' n ' e v e r . "
T h a t w a s in 1919, and in 1920, Lorraine went to E u r o p e w i t h
her aunts. Mac did not go, but promised to write. The correspondence lasted six months, and then, suddenly, there were no more
Utters f r o m Mac, no more bright, cheery letters.
One day in the si)ring of 1924, a car f u l l of people, sped
noiselessly along the state road. One did not need a second glance
to tell that the peoi)le Avere d i s t i n g u i s h e d — a l l of them.
If one
heard Iheir names, one would recognize some of the leading critics,
illustrators ami authors.
The man beside the driver, a famous illustratoi', turned and
spoke to a little gi'ay clad figui'e in the back seat, " A n d how is our
little c e l e b r i t y ? "
The little celebi-ity's g r a y eyes lighted ami she nodded her
bi'ight head, "P^ine, thanks.
I'm e n j o y i n g this I'ide so much, I
h a v e n ' t been over this I'oad in y e a r s and y e a r s . "
All d u r i n g the bright afternoon, the big car went on, over hill,
through valley and over hill again, aiul all aftei-noon, the conversation centered on Ihe little bright-haii'ed girl in g r a y , who w a s one
of the youngest w r i t e r s of short stories.
•lust at sunset, a loud b a n g infoi'med the oceui)ants of the car
of a blowout, and the long cai- drew to a standstill, before a little
old cemetei'y.
While the others chattej-ed ceaselessly, the little figure in g r a y
stei)pe(l through the open gate and eui-iously fasciiuited, picked its
w a y between the headstones.
In a f a r corner, under an evergi-een tree, a name on a simple
white stone caught the gii-1's attention, ami the burnished head
leaned forAvard. ".John W i l l i a m IMeKinley, lS7r)-]920."
The slim figure stood v e i y still, and then, in a whisper, began
to speak. " M a c , I ' v e fouiul you at last. T o d a y , the day of days in
m y life. Mac deai-, I've k e p t my pi-omise, and I ' m an honest-logoodness w r i t e i ' . "
And. then, with the sun shooting its last i-ays thi'ough the evei'green boughs to shiiu^ on a small, bent head, the girl lifted hei- g r a y
eyes to the s k y ami with her heart full, repeated the childish w o r d s :
"
And I'll keep m y promise Forevei*

A HAIRPIN
I ' m just a little liaii'j)iii—and a wiiv one at t h a t — b u t wliat a
life I've led, no one Avould ever guess.
Foi- many days, nuiyl)e
months, 1 livetl in F. W. W o o h v o r t h ' s store on F i f t l i A v e n u e along
with my other brothei's. We had been i)laced in a pretty tiowered
box and w e i v then set on the front counter. In putting us in tlie
box, I was not pushed down as far as my brotheivs so 1 could see
all that Avent on in the store and out on the sti'eet. I used to tell
my brothei's about all the i)eo])le who passed througli the store.
There were i)oorly clad peoi)le and ricli api)earing ones, and you
would be surpi'ised to see all the tilings they bought. I used to see
the snow tly outside and the people I'ushing by, all going somewhere,
as if each one were the most im[)ortant person in the woi-ld. it was
very cold, sometinu's, on that front countei- because the dooi'S wei'c
right in front of it. My bi'others consoled uu^ when they told riie
that I would be wai'in someday in the f u t u r e when 1 pinned up the
ti'esses of a crowning glory. 1 kneAv that was true enough but with
e v e r y b o d y having her hail' bobbed, when would we evei' be pui'chased? Then 1 had heard from hairpins that had dropped out of
women's heads onto our tiooi-, that souu'tinu's they wei'e misti-eated.
W h y , one hairi)in told me that he was ))ent and twisted until he
thought he would nevei- be the same again. He also said that he
had been used to button a shoe and his head ached ever aftei'wai'ds.
I cei'tainly thought that was cruel and 1 was beginning to wish that
bobbed hair woidd continue to be the style. l>ut oiu' day my iieart
jumped into my throat when 1 heai'd a y o u n g girl ask, " H o w much
is that box of h a i r p i n s ? " and she touched me, ])ushing nu' down in
ihe box. She bought us and took us houu> to a beautiful house. Then
she fixed her hair and siie was so l)eautiful that I d i d n ' t mind being
of use to her at all. 1 still travel with hei- aiul hold up a beautiful
curl as i)i'oudly as 1 know how. I'm sui'e she will a l w a y s be kind
