him. He pulled out his watch, looked
at it, and began winding it. He mend

cry minute or two he stole a look at
her, but she was always just the
same. Except for the faint rise and
fall Of her bosom, she might have
been a picture, not woman.
At last he said again, "Cone along,
Rose dear"
"It'll be too late In October" she
said. "Thats why wanted to de-
eide things tonight. Because we must
begin right away" Then she looked
up into his face. 1T will be too late in
October" she repeated, "unless we be-
gin now."
The deep, tense seriousness Of her
voice and her look arrested his full
attention.
"Why?" he asked. And then, "Rose,
what do you mean"
"We're going to have q baby in
October" she said.

old times with her old friends, in
cluding her brother and sister, and a
sort Of dismayed acquiescence in the
smoky seriousness, the inadequate
civilization, of the city of her birth.
Toward Rose herself, the contessa
was, one might say, studlously affec-
tionate. She avoided being either dis
agreeable or patronizing. Rose could
see, indeed, how she avoided it.
About this time the question where
Rose and Rodney were going to live
after their lease on the McCrea house
ended, had begun to press for an an
swer. October first was when the
lease expired, and it wasn't far from
the date az which they expected the
baby. They spent some lovely after
moons during the days of the emerg-
ing spring, cruising about looking at
possible places.
This was the situation when Har-
riet took hand in it. 1t was a situa-
ton made to order for Harriet to
take hand in. Shed sized it up at
glance, made up her mind in three
minutes what was the sensible thing
for them to do, written a note to
Florence McCrea in Paris, and then
bided her opportunity to put her idea
into effect. To her Rose was simply a
well-meaning. somewhat inadequately

But she went steadily on. "You
we're always SO dear about 1t. But
tonight--oh, Rodney {" Her
silly, ragged voice choked there and
stopped, and the tears brimmed up
and spilled down her cheeks. But
she kept her face steadfastly turned
to his.
"That's what said about being
married and not sowing wild oats, 1
suppose" he said glumly. 1T was
joke. Do you suppose I'd have said it

ut wasn't only that" she managed
to 60 on. "Tt was the way they looked
at the house; the way you apologized

what you were doing. Oh, how l
despised myself And how I knew

"The one thing 1 felt about you ali

tience that marks the last stage Of
evaporation, "was pride. 1 was rath-

"As my lover you were proud of

"You can wash the dishes and scrub

can carry my lunch to the Office with

his watch. "And now that the things
reduced to an absurdity, let's 60 to

"You don't have to get to the Office
till nine tomorrow morning." said
Rose. 'tAnd I want to talk It out

he admitted after a rather long sl-

staring at the dying fire, her hands
