Silversand Lake, the goth.

Silversand Lake, the 2Oth. Joan Dear:
 For two days I have scarcely seen Captain Wallis. Tom Benedict has been faithfulness and comfort person. flied. We have been perfectly frank With each other, Tom and l. And what a rare joy it is, dear, to have a man friend. There are times when only a woman will understand another wOmanS $ problems-and other tim es when woman wouldn't GO at all.
 Tom has told me all along that Captain Wallis has avoided me not because he wanted to, but because he had first to deal with Mrs. kymbal. It is as plain IS daylight that she has some sort of claim on Eric. But what. Joan, what? It seems as though should go stark staring crazy tryin g to think it out.

Iater-Same day

Oh, my dear, what a two hours I have just put in, I felt so upset that before finishing this letter [ went for a tramp in the woods high above the lake.
 Joan-I found her there, Mrs Kymbal. I came upon her suddenly, on the ground under a tree, her head leaned against it's messy trunk, her eyes red with crying and her whole thin little body slumped in the re- faxed attitude of one utterly weary of

soul.
 I was going to hurry on but twigs cracked under my feet and she turned. We gazed at each other moment, neither knowing what to do. She broke the silence.
 I'm sorry" she murmured as though in apology, getting slowly to her feet.
 ''Oh, please, Mrs. kymbal' I said my whole heart going out to her in her terribly evident trouble, tits | who feel sorry-to have intruded Is there anything I can possibly do? Som etimes a womar-'
 She interrupted me feverishly.
 That is true-a woman-yes. Oft en a woman understands"
 She broke off, catching her lip be- tween her teeth as though to keep the tears from starting afresh. l could think of nothing to say that would seem adequate-I was horribly upset myself, Joan. Presently she went on in 3, ivelier tone, as if she had sud- denly resolved upon something:
 Miss Varick, let us sit over there on that log-would you mind? I be- lieve 1 could talk to you--here in the quiet woods. Im-Im much dis
  much I wonder!"
 I put an arm round her fragile shoulder and led her toward the fall en tree. Please tell me- I whis- pered, and we sat down.
 She looked fixedly at me for a moment with those big troubled eyes of hers.
 "I'm afraid you may be the last person l ought to speak to in this way. I'm afraid you-care for him too. But perhaps that will make you understand the better.
 'It all goes back so far--to my girl hood. I married very young, a good man-Oh, yes, a good man--but didn't love him, l didn't know what love was. My life Was empty except for my little son. For years upon years I lived absolutely for him.
 Then came the war. It overpow- cred us women, yet it gave us our su- prene chance. You know what Eng land did. But I wonder if you realize They thought of nothing but service- nothing but giving. They served, and they gave-Oh, how they gave!" She bowed her face in her hands and l ached with pity for her.
 Don't go OF if you'd rather not" "Yes, yes--Id rather, now"
 And she went on, dear, I'll tell you the rest in tomorroW's letter.
