''Kate dear, you are OVERRIDING it.
1t Is quite right that woman should
be a mystery to man, but she should
not aspire to become 4 mystery to her

Heigho Dorothy. let us forsake these
hard headed subjects and turn to
something humanl What have your
lawyers been bothering you about?
No trouble over the money, is thereF"
Dorothy shook her head.
"No. OF course there are various
matters they have to consult me about
and get my consent to this project or
the other"
"Read the letter. Perhaps my math-

"Oh, my minds already made up
I'm going to jump at your offer but
