and vines, one of those picture places, ample for an eating house,
but unsuited for anything else.

"There!" gasped Daisy; "that's the sort of house to live in!"

"To live out of, you mean," put in Maud. "I can't see how one
could live `in' there."

The cars were all motionless now. Cora and Gertrude had already
"escaped" from the college hug of Adele and Tillie. When the
Chelton girls had been introduced, the vine-covered porch was
actually filled with the members of the motor party.

"How splendid!" exclaimed Tillie, with that delightful German
accent that defies letters and requires a pretty mouth to
"exhale."

"Darling!" went on Adele, with all the extravagance of schoolgirl
enthusiasm.

"You leave us no adjectives," remarked Cora. "I never saw
anything so sweet. How ever did you get those vines to grow so
promptly?"

"Wild cucumber," said Adele with a laugh, "Why, you know, dear,
wild cucumber can no more help growing than you can. Isn't she
tall, Tillie? I do believe you have grown inches since school,
Cora."

"Yes, mother bemoans it. My duds are all getting away from me."
