heavens ~ he said. There's nothing
to tell! I've got an argument before
the court of appeals tomorrow and
there's Il ruling decision against me-
1t is against me, and it's bad law
But that isn't what I want to tell them
I want some way Of making a dlstlnc-
ton so that l can hold that the de-
cision doesn't rule"
"And it wouldn't help" she ventured,
"if you told me all about it? l don't
care about the dinner"
81 couldn't explain in month" he
said.
ooh, 1 wish 1 were some good!' she
said forlornly.
He pulled out his watch again and
began pacing up and down the room.
II just can't stand it to see you
like that" she broke out again. If
you'll only sit down for five minutes
and let me try to get that strained
look out of your eyes.
Cant you take my word for it and
let it alone?" he shouted. Il don't
need to be comforted nor encouraged.
I'm in an intellectual quandary. For
the next three hours, or six, or how
ever long it takes, want my mind to
run cold and smooth. I've got to be
tight and strained. That's the way the
Jobs done. You can't solve an intel
lectual problem by having your hand
held, or your eyes kissed, or anything
like that. Now, for the love of heaven,
child, run along and let me forget you
ever existed, for q while!"

ing of this gown, is essential, as in all
simple designs. In this respect the
home dressmaker must be faithful to
the model if she undertakes to copy it; ;
but a light wool or heavy cotton fab
ric may be used instead of silk, with
good success. Small shepherd check,
in black and white, decorated with
black soutache braid will convert the
model into a perfect one-piece street
dress.
AS pictured the dress is made of
heavy silk crepe and fastens at the
front with white buttons, set close to-
gether, and loops of silk cord. Down
each side Of the bodice at the back
and front border design in sOutache
braid provides a decoration in perfect
harmony with the dress. The design
is widened at the shoulders to extend
to the arm's-eye. The sleeves are long
and without cuffs, but the braided pat
tern appears at the wrist and three
buttons, matching those that fasten the
dress, are set close together here. A
narrow, flat sash of the material is

some fringe. 1t is tackled to the dress
and looped over at the front. The
neck is managed with the same re-
serve that characterizes the entire de-
sign, having narrow V-shaped
opening, small revers, and cape collar
at the back.
Resting upon well-earned laurels
those who think up, or dream out or
discover our millinery for us, might

tragic l might have known l could
count on YOU. Is there anywhere
we have got to go? Or can we just
stay homer?
He didn't want to founder through
an emotional morass. And the as
sumption that she couldn't walk beside
him on the main path of his life was
just and sensible. But it wasn't good
enough for Rose.
So the very next morning she strip
ped the cover off the first of the law
books she had bought, and really went
to work. She bit down, angrily, the
yaWns that blinded her eyes with tears ;
she made desperate efforts to fog her
mind into graphing with the endless
succession Of meaningless pages
spread out before her, to find q germ
Of meaning somewhere in it that would
bring the dead verbiage to life. She
was very Secretive about it; developed
an almost morbid fear that Rodney
would discover what she was doing
and laugh his big laugh at her. She
resisted innumerable questions she
wanted to PROFOUND to him, from
fear that they'd betray her secret.
She even forbOre to ask him about
the case; it was The Case in her mind
the one she knew about.
She discovered in the newspaper,
one day, q column summary of court
decisions that had been handed down;
and though The Case wasn't in it, she
kept, from that day forward, q careful
watch, discovered where the legal news
was printed, and never overlooked q
paragraph. And at last she found
it-iust the bare statement: "Judg-
ment affirmed Rodney, she knew,
had represented the appellant. He
was beaten.
For a moment the thing had bruised
her like a blow. And then, all at once,
in the indrawing Of a single breath,
she saw it differently. She saw she
couldn't help him out of his intellec-
tual Quandarics-yet. But under the
discouragement and lassitude of de-
feat, couldn't she help him? She re-
membered how many times she had
gone to him for help like that, and,
most notably, during the three or four
days of an acute illness of her moth
ers, when she had been brought face
to face with the monstrouS, incredible
possibility of losing her, how she had
clung to him, how his tenderness had
sOothed and quieted her.
He had never come to her like that.
