So 1t was that when 10 entered his

blinked, daZedly. and when the light
from the window fell on him you saw
that his eyes were red.
Eva was not one to beat about the

clutching her bag rather nervously.
"Now, look here. 10. Stell and / are

''My uncle" Ethel answered, and
flushed all over her delicate face and
down to her throat. 1t spoiled Ethels

her mother of it later, weeping, she
declared it had spoiled her life.
Eva talked it over with her husband
in that intimate, kimonoed hour that
