IATHERINE SONNOT turned a
face full Of entreaty toward me as
Lillian Underwood, in q mood Of
ssIaxatioa from the mental strain which
she had just undergone, declared her
lntsution Of getting hold Of my hus-
bsn4 and Of katherine's fiance and
hvng them come over to dinner. Bet
y. Lillian's colored cook, had retired
70 her room In . ~weepy tantrum," Al
LilIAn described II, and a. consequence
Lillian had to finish the dinner Betty
kaA begun.
Well make the boys help US cook
the dinner, and we'll serve and cat it
g regular picnic style right here in the
lbrary.- Lillian said gleefully as she
started for the telephone. Il don't dare
leave ths room unsarded now for a
mossent and Il win be great sport to

] tried to make my assent IS hearty
~ hes suggestion- but Katherine's un-
happy face chilled my tone. I ssw that
she actually dreaded the presence Of
Jack Beckett her fiance and my bro
ther-cousin, At this impromptu dinner,
and NY conscience smote ME anew that

know Katherine returned "And

anyway. How wonderful she isl One
minute engineering delicate operations
IN which the very safety OF the nation
may be involved, and At the first chance
OF relaxation putting everything behind
her and planning an informal frolic
with Is much rest as a child | suppose
that's the way she is able to keep up
her strength and spirits for the crisis
which must come her way. But, oh.
Madee, my dear, please make Jack give
you all his attention tonight. Keen
him 80 busy talking that he won't have
time to bother about me simply
