“Cathalina and Lilian are getting to look like sisters,” said Pauline.

“It is more their manner,” said Eloise, “and Lilian dresses more like Cathalina now that she lives in New York. Their features are not alike. Lilian’s look like a cameo. How much older she looks with her hair up, in that way too. Cathalina is still our little dreamer,—isn’t she lovely!”

“Being engaged had made Lilian seem older,” said Pauline. “I noticed it last year when she came back after Christmas, even before she wore her ring. Where is Cathalina’s brother now? Do you know, Hilary?”

“Yes. He and his cousin, Campbell Stuart, and Robert Paget, Philip’s other chum, have all been sent to a Southern camp to train recruits. They are lieutenants or something. You know they were at a military school before they went to the university for their last years.”

“Ah, Hilary Lancaster,—I might have known that you would know all about it. There’s Helen Paget now. Robert is her cousin, isn’t he?”

“Yes, Miss Tracy,” replied Hilary, pretending to be distant because of Pauline’s implied reference to Hilary’s interest in Campbell Stuart.
