self she had betrayed her disagreement
with Lii Blake to Lis husband. and
had seen him grow angry with his
wife. In spite OF her brave effort to
earn a pretty irock, she had to act wall

had to pretend a c~heeriulness she could
not feel. talking to neglected men and
hard-of-hearing old ladies when she
longed to escape from the oyerheated
overlightcd room and run home to her
children, with whom an elderly neigh
Dor was staying.
But the climax OF her discontinue,
came when her husband returned after
his dance with Lii Blake. His fac,
had lost some of its cheer as he sa'
down by Edith's side. She felt some
thing di'aRreeable was coming. Al
