tut W|ff | OF RUFFLES, Transformation and the Way It Was Brought About By VIRGINIA BLAIR. I Copyright, uos. by A— orlatwd Literary i Preaa.] Social distinctions were not closely'; drawn at Crag Houae. The tables ; were waited on by the daughters of : wealthy farmers, who aerred only bethey wished to eempe the monotony of country life for a month or and because they wished to be In touch with the gayety and color that the city guests brought to the mountain reaort Bufflea was not a farmer's daughter. She waa a child of the city, swept to House by a wave of chance. She had worked in a department store In and her health had failed. The ; to whom she went spoke of the { mountains. i "1 dkp't afford to go," faltered Baffles.. v j "Go and play waitress for awhile," j suggested the keen eyed doctor. "Then j you can earn something and get well at the same time." He gave her a letter to the proprietor ; of Crag House, and poor, little, frightened Baffles tied at once and found the place a paradise after the heat and | noise of town. As time went on, however, she dis- ; covered that she was treated as a ' stranger «nd an alien. She was neither fish oor flesh, neither guest nor of the soil. She was an ungirl from the city, and the country glris kept Id their own circle, gave dances and mingled with their own friends, while the hotel guests danced in the ballroom and never thought of the little maid who served them. There was one woman, however, who watched Buffles with Interest "8be Is a pretty little thing," she said to her husband "Who?" be asked idly. ; "The little girl who waits on our table," eaid Mrs. Wltherspoon. and

' mart granger came straight to hrb and put her arms abound her. I that night she called Buffles Into her | "If you will fasten my dress," she I said, "I'll be awfully grateful." ! "1 can always come In and fasten dresses." said Baffles shyly. "I'd love It. It's lonesome after supper, and the evenlngs are so long." "Why don't you go to the barn dances?" Mrs. Wltherspoon asked. "Nobody has Invited me." Buffles stammered. "Yon see. I don't belong the country set. I'm a kind of out- 1 aider." "Poor little thing!" was Mrs. Wltberspoon's mental comment. But aloud she said: "Isn't Mary Granger friendly? She seems a nice girl." "No." The blushes flamed over Buffles' little face. "You see. Mary Is different. She has always had things, and 6be only waits on the table here get the extra money and the fun. But— oh. well. I'm different " "How different?" "Oh. I'm poor, and I live In a cheap part of the city when I'm home, and clothes are shabby, and I haven't folks. You know how people "I think It's very snobbish of them," Mrs. Wltherspoon said Indignantly. "Well, anyhow, you come here In the evenings and help me into my things, and we will have some comfy talks." "Indeed I will!" Buffles' eyes shone. "How good yon are. Mrs. Wltherspoon Buffles went downstairs and sat on the porch where she conid see the hotel guests In the ballroom. She watched the women In their dainty gowns as they whirled past, and then, she was very lonely, she put n bead down on her arm and sobbed. : "What's the matter?" asked a voice . out cf the dark. "Oh." said Ruffles, "I— 1 didn't know ! any one was here." "1 came t<. tind my sister." said the voice again. "1 am Frank Granger they told me she had gone I thought I would watch the and then you came, and 1 heard yon crying, and tf there ia anyI can do"There was such an honest ring In his voice that Buffles answered straight from the botom of her heart: "No, than Isn't. But I am crying because I am lonely." "Are you owe of the waitresses?" "Too. I am Buffles."

"Yes." Ruffles^ remembered the hh m Illation of that old gown wltb4t* cheap black floaneea. "You haven't been to any of the barn dances 7" "I ha rent been Invited." " •Ton haven't? Well. I'll eee that Mary asks you to the one at our bouse j tomorrow nl^ht" . J "Oh. please don't," Buffles begged. > j "It might look as if 1 was trying to 1 . push in." "Well. 1 guess not." said Granger ■ quickly. "Mother wants you. I beard her tell Mary last night that If you weren't strong you ought to come to our farm for,«while and live on milk ^ : and eggs." "And— what did Mary say?" Bufflea I asked. s X He laughed. "Well Mary said that ( 1 If you weren't too proud she would tor ( glad to ask you." / "What?" Buffles gasped. "Whyj- . ■ why, I thought she didn't like me." "She tblnkaj you are wonderful" the j strong voice went on, "but she says ' you are from the city and have such 1 dainty ways and she la so big and 1 awkward"— 1 1 "Oh. ohr Buffles was laughing out j I of sheer Joy. "If she feels that way . I should love to go to the barn dance." j '.Well 111 get yon the Invitation." 1 - said Frank simply and held out bis ' < hand. "Be sure to come early." 1 I Then he went away, and Ruffles ] stood there with the whole world ] ? hanged. ft j ' "Oh. Mrs. Wltherspoon," she said to j that little lady as tlfey passed each . other on the stairway, "I am going to Mary Granger's dance tomorrow night ' ' "Really?" the pretty lady gurgled. I "douje into my room and tell me about ] i It Bob Is going to stay down and ] smoke, and we will be alone." ] 1 Ruffles sparkled and glowed as she j told what Frank had said. j ' "And now." said Mrs. Wltherspoon when the tale was ended, "what aro ' you going to wear?" "Oh." Bufflea Aught her breath, "I 1 don't know. I haven't anything but 1 shirt waists and dark skirts. And most 1 of the girls wear white." ] "Well you are not going to wear ] white." said llttie Mrs. Wltherspoon. j She went to hertloset and began bur- . rowing among the gowns that bung . there. At last she round what she sought— ' a 'rosy flounced gown of mull, made In ] childish fashion. "There." she said triumphantly, "you . are going to wear that! It doesn't ' look too tine Tor a girl to your posl 1 tlon. But It was really an awfully ex- j pensive thing, and It's too small for me, and yon will be the belle of the ' ball in it. Raffles." i ADd, as 11 Ruffles' cup of happiness { were not full enough, the next morn- j lng Mary Granger came straight to j her and pui her krms about her. "Frank was telling me about last ' night." she said affectionately. "If you only knew how I have really • wanted to oe friends. Ruffles!" i And Ruffles put ber head down -on r Mary Granger's head and positively ^ cried with happiness. But that was not the end. and greater happiness came from the rosy ruf- ' fled go wo and Mary Granger's friend-.

I "Oh. Mary!" Ruffles parried, but ( Frank laughed Joyously. ( "I have told her that 1 will not put j It off." he Said. "It Is going to he next mouth."
