But the pretty girl walking so close to Bob appeared to be smugly satis- fled with his condition. She was all smiles and placidity. "an excellent an tiaete," l told myself, flor any mans soul in distress
 Certainly I was far from placid my self at the moment. I longed to fling my arms impetuously about Bob's neck, to rouse him from that dreadful dullness with my kisses. As if to make up for time lost, my poor heart began to beat furiously.
 T don't understand, Mary Thomas said again. not as if she were asking for an explanation, but rather to ex- plain her own inability to help me.
 Its just another stupid human mis- take, Mary. We all make them, some times. A little thing goes wrong in life-and we let il go, We don't take pains to cure the first symptom-and soon it's past all cureI"
 Mary nodded Truly she had more reason than I to know how far a small mistake may carry one.
 And pretty soon our whole world is upside down and we've lost the path back to our happiness. I went on.
 Perhaps few of us know what hap piness is-until we've lost it." Mary ventured. When life is simple-and wholesome-an sweet. we're so boredlp
 It was my turn to nod sadly.
 aSo we mess it up for the excitement of the thing" Mary continued. And then-when it gets too complicated, too exciting, we find it is quite unendur- able-and we're bored again."
 Never will I disturb an ordinary peaceful existence, provided I'm for tunate enough to get onto humdrum plane once more,'' I moaned. Why, I'd consider canning tomatoes exciting If l were canning them for Bob.
 Don't blame yourself too much, Jane" Mary sympathized. Blame your sex Consider this: If woman has been brought up to run sewing machine at home, she is possessed to get away from home and run a type writer. But if she's forced to earn her living with a typewriter she'll howl for the privilege of running a sewing machine.

 I must write my heart out to you or burst know you will hide this letter away with my other rash ones. and that whatever I say will get no farther than that dear wise head of yours that has been my ceun- sel since we were bare-legged kiddies together in a country town.
 This, as nearly as I can remember, is what he said to me tonight-John de Gallier, violfnist and artist in-iove. We were sitting in an old lifeboat on the beach, silver with moonlight De Gallier had played q the hotel after days of beseeching by the women guests. 1 told him how delicious the music was.
