He talked to her of the transports
loaded with troops arriving daily, and
what a fine thing 1t was that the war
was over, but all he could get out of
her was her quiet, II am so glad"
and he knew that 1t was not the brand
of gladness for her.
And one morning she came In ra-
dlant. There was a buoyancy to her
step, such shining brightness in her
eyes that 1t electrified the whole Office

said to himself, "He has come back,

walked for miles, and finally too tired
to walk back took a taxi home, ever

to a rather formal dinner party. All
the girls present were considerably

about the middle of the meal, although
the others were chatting in a desul-

Suddenly young woman sitting at
my right turned to me with the ques-
tion: Don't you ever say anything?"
1t seemed to me that the attention
of every one at the table was focused
on me. and blushhg furiously, l stam-
mered: "Oh, yes. sometimes, when
there's something interesting to talk
about" A stony silence greeted my
