First of all he has our most sincere
sympathy for his erraticness, which ex-
provided he honestly believes as he
does. Mayhap he will ask by what
process we have arrived at that con-
clusion--both of US have had experience

In two hospitals, and we feel that we can
identity an illusion when we see one

and his own pride force him to hold even
though 1t calls for exaggeration on his
part--we would rather feel that we are
right In this conclusion than In terming
him mentally deficient.
And just few words more. We
wonder IL he recognizes what danger
Gus and painful time in the future he is
creating for himself. oh man, man, but
you have ahead of you days of loneliness,
pain and depression. We both of us
passed through year of actual heart
ache when we tried to rebel against our
better selves simply because we thought
we hated TO deliver part of our freedom
each to the other. Now we see our mis-
take and thank the fates for bringing US
together finally.

good that even If you now enjoy your
selfish freedom, moderate your thoughts
against the girls you profess to hate
before they thoroughly become the ruling
passion of your being. for II you donS

bara was formal now.
NO. 7 think not, Is everything all

though something had happened?"
"Everything's all right with me" and
she forced laugh. II hope you have
good time tonight" And she hurg UP
in her heart. He had not said word
about the fact that she would be alone.
He had not asked her what she would
do. and he had not told her what his
herself for even thinking Of such things.
or course Keith had not thought to ask
her what she would do, and why should
he. when she was always overwhelmed
with engagements? No doubt he thought
that she would be sure to do something,
and as for his own plans, why shouldn't
he have them? Surely she was not 60
ing to develop into that awful thing, a
pryipg wife. and surely she had enough
faith and confidence in Keith to know
that he would do nothing that was not
right and fair.
The truth of the matter was that this
was Thursday and Keith wanted very
much to drop in at the Newberys' for a
chat. He had been there a couple of
times since that first evening on eve
nings when Barbara had had other en-
gagements, and perhaps the most
important result OF these evenings was
Katherine's somewhat changed attitude
toward him. There were so many little
courtesies that he showed her in the
Office, he was so naively boyish, and 30
evidently grateful for her friendship It
was the first time in her life, too, that

You are perhaps sensitive about your
