"He wouldn't grant me even one CO.
nestle accomplishment" finished An
gela. "Oh. his incessant pointing 70 the
dust in our house 1nd-even my mayon-
naise ran!" Here Angela's voice broke
81 can't trust myself 70 say more, or
nv eyes will be red for Donald wnen
he comes home, but I'll say Just ms
After his cruel digs about my Longing
for e Home Of my Own and how
wretchedly | would keep II, instead OF
making the reader say goodby TO me
on ny wedding day, he might at least
have shown my Home-and let the
reader Judge for himself!'
Next" cried the chairman, already
apparently firing of her job. And be
brief! Mrs. Charles Carrot, Mary
Wing, the Successful Woman Of An
gela's Business where do you think
your greatest success lay
an knowing what I wanted when
wanted it," said Mary, gravely enough,
although the corners of her mouth
twitched. an brief, that ! cared more
about marrying than accepting the prize
offer Of my career, a $1,000 job Of ma
tional Importance"
Sue, the chairman, gave quick
shrue: "Oh, of course, having married
your author" she interposed, with
snort, your evidence would be entirely
ole-sided / am in the same boat, being
my authors sister But who cares
rap for a brothers testimony" she

up the life TO me through that Mrs.
Marsh!"
"Will we ever settle that point, Sue,
dear?" YEARLY sighed Eleanore. Cant

strengthen his argument"

next meeting be held at our house and
ask that my husband be allowed to at

be splendid for him, am sure. Just

he can get back in time to present the
authors side to you"
