CHAPTER XCVI.


CcopyriEht, 1919. by King Features Syn
dicate. IncD
w YHAT was there for me to say
w to Virginia? How could 1
tell her that had gone to
the Clinsarge to meet Pat Dalton.
because I imagined that he atilI
cared for her-and hoped she still
loved him? How could I put into
quick, shifting phrases my convic-
tion that marriage is for all time
not until persons get tired and want
TO change partners? Virginia had
never mentioned her affairs to me
how could plunge into an intimate
discussion Of them?
ALI this flashed across my mind
as 1 stood facing the battery of her
accusing eyes. Slowly / began to
formulate words-sentences:
Virginia-Phoebe isn't entirely
wrong. I went to the Clinsarge be-
cause Mr.. Dalton begged me"
And then the men came into the
room Their after-dinner chat was
over, and Virginia's dinner party
was again q completed whole, in
stead Of separate units. And vir-
Ginia and I were again widely sep
arated units.
Jim limped over to his favorite
sisters side-Sheldon followed him,
and Terry crossed to little, pouting
Phoebe. That left me unproVided
for, so Of course Anthony Norreys
came to me. And I had a sudden
sense OF comfort and satisfaction
and welI-being.
How goes the Canteening, Mrs.
Harrison?7 asked Mr.. Norreys, who
seems to have a way Of going
straight to his subject without
dallying on by-paths OF introduc-
tion. Are the women working
with the same enthusiasm for
Deacs heroes that they brought to
the war-game?"
81 think so-we're pledged for
two years more-and only enthusi-
asm will help US TO cary on"
replied, thankful for the topic that
gave me a chance to get out Of my
0slf.
You know I asked permission to
help q bit. Can you arrange il for
me? Suppose I gave you little
funo-say 800 q week-could you
use IT to feed the soldiers and sail
ors who haven't anything bJH their
pay and are sending most Of that
home on allotment"
PraiSe for Norreys.
"oh, Mr.. Norreys-now that's
just splendid" I cried. Some OF.
the boys look so lonEingly at the
banana splits after they've had
3 their meat and vegetables-and
some Of them hsh out a dime and
then study and study TO see what
they can get for that. It would be
hne to tell those hungry lads that
q kind unknown friend WIS
giving them a-party."
Then that is fixed. A hundred
week TO your canteen-and you're
to report your donation to your
commanding officer and make all
your own arrangements. Shall we
