Gave "Furtive Looks" r.. -. "
On Sunday he came into the room
after breakfast and stayed there all
day except when he went down to his
luncheon. He would sit in the corner
OF the room, and hold his magazine
and look at it, but he would hardly
ever turn the page. His wife would
never turn around and look at him.
This was after he had failed to help
her. Whenever / looked at him, he
had this magazine in his hands. He
was the kind of man you caught watch
ing and sizing things up, or giving
furtiye glances. 1t was as if he was
looking at the magazine but at the
same time paying attention to what
was going on, and just using the ma.
gazine as shield. / used to notice
him giving furtive looks around as if
he did not want to be observed.

that Mr.. knight had to take her out.
Her mother was holding her hand and
she was looking at her. She did not
once look at her husband. He was
simply standing there.

after calling the family and when /

Tells Of "Miss Hale"
! know there was Miss Hale who
had been nurse there. | was told
she had been dismissed. remember
talking to Elise, the baby's nurse, and
Elise told me that Miss Hale and Mr..
Smart had laughed and joked and neg
lected Mrs. Smart. She said ii was
terrible for any man to act that way
towards his wife, and that people had
remarked about 1t when they were
coming back on the boat from Eu-

dress for dinner and then leave Mrs.
