Now let us have
one more dance in honour of the bride's home-coming."
"No," said Patty, firmly, "not another dance to-night."
"Just a part of one, then," begged Philip; but Patty was inexorable.
And so the merry crowd dispersed, Patty lingering a moment to give
Christine a good-night kiss and wish her every blessing and
happiness in her new home.
"And I have you to thank for it all, Patty dear," said Christine,
her blue eyes looking lovingly into Patty's own.
"Nonsense, thank your own sweet self. You well deserve the happiness
that has come to you. And now good-night, dear; I'll be over some
time to-morrow."
The laughing group went away, and as it had been planned, Mona took
Patty home in her car.
"I wish you'd go on home with me, Patsy," said Mona, as they rolled
along toward Patty's house.
"Can't possibly do it. I've a thousand and one things to look after
to-morrow morning."
"But it isn't late; really it's awfully early. And I'll send you
home early to-morrow morning."
"No, I mustn't, really, Mona. I have to look after some things for
the Happy Saturday Club, which it won't do to neglect. And I want to
run over to Christine's to-morrow morning, too. I have some things
to take to her.
