the aviation. He was gay, hopeful
and boyish-the agony of the night

When, after breakfast, we resolv-

ways and meals and approached the
question l had been dreading since

stared at me in high good humor.

I stared at my husband to amaze
ment-was there nothing he could
take seriously? And then back of
his light words 1 glimpsed a strug-
gle to master himself. to hide some
trouble from me. Still with the tense
grip on himself that masked under
idle laughter, he went on, eXalting
me as he spoke:

have been the butcher. the baker,
the candlestick maker"

you'd been-a chimney sweep" I
cried passonately.
