arrange for your father to become an
inmate of your home" he had said.
THE rent and other fixed expenses of
the place over there have been paid
for two or three months in advance,
while the running expenses when
shared by your father and myself are
easily met. 1t will be time enough for
him to move over when your husband
goes back to his duties and I am
summoned"
I knew the young physician meant
to be kind that he was still ready to
serve me in any way he could, but
was inwardly amused at the icy cour-
tesy which he invariably used in adj
dressing me since our memorable in
tervieW upon the subject of my
fathers finances. That he inexorably
dsapproved of what he probably
termed my "unWomanly' decision to
go to work, l knew, and he either
could not or would not hide his feel
ing of resentment toward me for my
fiouting of his opinion in the matter.
Little cared I, however what DR..
Pettit's opinion of me was. There
were other problems far more pressing
especially the necessity-which L
knew might arise any day-of ex-
planning to Dicky the truth concerning
