Literary Press.
A sudden tropic thunderstorm bad
sent all the women flying into the big
hotel like a flock of snowy birds.
Peggy, following them slowly, met
Armstrong on the wide porch.
"You'd better hurry In," he said. "It
will come down heavily in a minute."
"1 don't care," Peggy Informed him
recklessly. "If It pours."
"You'll spoil your gown," be admon
ished.
Peggy shrugged her shoulders. "Ac
cording to Palm Beach ethics," she In
formed him. "my gown Is already
spoiled. It was spoiled before It was
made, and tbe making only made It
worse. lu fact, It's dowdy, Jimmie; a
very dowdy gown."
His quick glance questioned her, and
then as he saw tbe laughter In her blue
eyes his own brown eyes laughed back.
"At least It doesn't seem to worry
you.'' be said.
"It did," she admitted as be drew
two chairs back under the awning, and
th*y sat looking out upon the rain. "It
did awfully when I first came. Why.
Jimmie Armstrong. I never dreamed of
such clothes as the women wear here.
It Isn't Just tbelr dresses; It's their
bats and their shoes and their veils
and the way they fix their hair and
tbelr complexions. They are like a lot
of princesses"—
"You needn't talk about complex
ions," Armstrong said doggedly; you've
got a complexion of your own"—
"Well, at least It Is my own," Peggy
agreed. "But wbafs a complexion,
Jimmie, without tbe clothes to set It
off? Now, there's that pale blue chif
fon with the rose wreathed border that
Just went In there, and the girl wore a
hat with roses around It, and her para
sol had a pale pink coral handle." She
leaned forward Impressively. "Jimmie,
how do you think I would look In that
gown
"Out of sight," said Jimmie prompt
l.v.
Feggy nodded. "I believe I would,"
she went on. "and at first It worried
me that I couldn't have one, just as
It worried me that I had to pay 15
cents apl
dian river
a dozen, but It doesn't worry me any
more."
"Why not?" he asked.
"Because I am an outsider," she said.
"Aunt Alva and I have Just enough
money to pay our board—without any
frills. But it Is doing her lots of good
—the climate and the chance to see
things—and 1 simply made ap my mind
to get all out of it I could. And I
can't have pretty things like the other
women, so I Just keep out and look on
them as I would on a picture.
"I have all sorts of names for them
—that dashing, restless widow who af
fects red is the 'Crimson Rambler,' and
tbe girl with tbe pink roses is 'Lady
June,' and that tall girl In mauve M
'The Orchid'—and In that way I don't
feel envious or hateful, and I don't
care If my hair Is out of curl or my
dresses old fashioned, for I am only In
the audience and not a part of it''—
She stopped, her cheeks glowing.
Jimmie looked at ber with admiration.
"I am an outsider, too," was his state
ment "A government stenographer
out for a week's vacation with only
one suit of white linen Isn't Id It"
Peggy laughed. "We are two of a
kind," she said, "and now that you
have come we'll forget envy and all
uncharitableness, and tomorrow morn
ing we'll go together to tbe alligator
farm."
But in the morning Jimmie came to
her with apologies. "The secretary Is
here," he said, "and he has asked mS
to Join his party on a trip up Lake
Worth In his launch. 1 don't Just see
how I can refuse. Could we go to the
alligator farm Just as well tomorrow?"
"We could,' but we won't," said Peg
gy promptly. "You mustn't neglect
the secretary, Jimmie. You are Inside
uow, and I am still outside, and—and
the secretary's daughter Is the girl
who wore tbe pale blue and tbe roses
yesterday"—
"What do 1 care about the secre
tary's daughter?" Jimmie demanded
savngely. "You know It's only because
1 can't afford to offend the secretary
that I am not going with you. Peggy."
"Please don't worry about that"
Peggy's tone was gay, but there was a
hurt look In her eyes. "Aunt Alva U
dying to Bee the alligators, and I am
going to get a double basket chair and
take her."
"And let me go alone?" he reproached
ber.
"You can go with the secretary'a
daughter," Peggy reminded him as she
went sway.
A half houf later, Immaculate Id hia
one linen suit, Armstrong went to the
pier. The secretary was there—big,
bluff and hearty—and the secretary'a
daughter, all In white, her shining hair
■bowing the touch of an expdtt maid
and her light blue chiffon veil floating
about ber like a cloud.
All day long she was very nice to
Jimmie, and by evening they had
grown confidential.
"I am so glad father discovered yon,"
she said as they came once more In
sight of the'waving royal palms and
tbe big hotels of the beach. "You must
go with ns again tomorrow."
Armstrong hesitated.
'I'd like It awfully," he blurted out
"but I have a little friend here. We
came from tbe same town and went te
school together. It's pretty, dull for
for oranges when at In
ey are selling for 6 cents
r?h
her, and I want*to see that she has a
good time."
"Doesn't she know anybody here?"
asked the secretary's daughter.
"No." Armstrong said; "she calls
herself an outsider. She can't dress
like the people who have money, so
she looks at the rest of you as if you
Were pictures In an art gallery."
"Ob, bow funny!" laughed the secre
tary's daughter.
"She called you 'Lady June.'" Jim
mie told her, seeing her Interest, "last
night when you wore the roses, and
the lady In red was the 'Crimson Ram
bler,' and the girl In mauve with the
queer dark skin was 'The Orchid.' "
"Ob, I must know her." said the sec
retary's daughter eagerly. "I am sure
she Is charming."
"She Is," Jimmie declared, and then,
a little awkwardly, "I think she Is ]ust
about right"
The secretary's daughter put out ber
band. "1 am sure you rousj." she said
gently. "I am going to look for your
friend In the morning."
Jimmie, In a glow of enthusiasm. Im
mediately bunted up Peggy. He found
ber on the beach watching the white
sails on the purple tropic sea. She had
on a dark skirt and white blouse, and
she looked like a little wren among the
birds of gay plumage.
Armstrong dropped on the sand be
side ber.
♦"She's Just lovely," he stated without
preface, "and she's coming to call on
you tomorrow morning. I told her
we'd be on the porch at the Break
ers listening to the band."
Peggy flared at that. "You may be
there," she said, "but I shall not"
"Why not?"
"I'm an outsider," was the grim re
sponse.
"Peggy," he remonstrated, "she Isn't
a bit stuck up, and she's very sweet
and nice."
Peggy looked at him reproachfully.
"Jimmie.".she said, with weariness, "I
can't meet her. You're a man, and
you can't understand how 1 should feel
the contrast between my frumpy
clothes and her daintiness. I didn't
mind a bit yesterday"—her lips quiv
ered—"for 1 thought you and I could
stay outside together. But now you're
Inside—and—and you can't take me
with you. Jimmie Armstrong."
And. though he argued all the way
back to the hotel—that beautiful way
between rows of gigantic palms—she
would not change her decision.
"1 am outside and 1 ahull stay out
side," was her answer to all his plead
ings.
But as they came Into the sea green
corridor of their own hotel the secre
tary's daughter met them. She was
dressed for dinner In a trailing lace
robe, with'pearls about her throat and
a wreath of little roses In her hair. "
"1 couldn't wait," she said to Arm
strong. "I want to be sure that Miss
Mason will go with us In the morn
ing."
There was something In the compel
ling sweetness of her Bmlle that
brought a flashing response from Peg
gy
"I can't," she protested. "Indeed, I
cannot You see," hesitating, "I am an
outsider."
"No, you're not There Are a lot of
people I want you to know." She
turned and with a gesture brought to
ber side a young man who bad been
talking with the secretary at the foot
of the stairs. "Harold," she said, "I
want you to meet two friends of mine.
They are going with us In the morn
ing."
"Good," said the young man so heart
ily that Peggy liked him on the spot
"Mr. Armstrong tells me that you
have been sitting back quietly and
calling us names." the secretary's
daughter rallied.
"I have," Peggy confessed. "I have
one right now for you"—
"Tell me"
"Tbe fairy princess," said Peggy,
with dancing eyes.
"Good," laughed Harold, and be and
the fairy princess exchanged glances
that were a revelation to Peggy.
"I must go In to dinner," said the
blushing beauty, "but you will go in
the morning, won't you?"
"-Yes," Peggy capitulated, "I'll go,"
and when they had swept on she turn
ed to Armstrong.
"Why," she said breathlessly, "they
aren't a bit different from us. Jimmie."
"Not a bit" said Jimmie compla
cently. * , ■
"And I believe she Is going to marry
him."
"Of course everybody knows that"
"I don't." Peggy confessed. "I
thought you liked her, Jimmie."
"I do," said Armstrong stoutly, "but
I love you. Peggy. I've told you so
fifty times''—
"And this makes flfty-one." Peggy
counted demurely. "Make It flfty-two.
Jimmie, and I'll say 'Yes.' "
And Jimmie did.
