WAS happy She had been living in thought
loss fashion for more than a year. taking
life one day Mt time, and never really
looking ahead into the future, or planning
10 achieve any special goal. MURRAY
Butler was the only one who had made
her look the facts IN the face.
And. naturally, she did not like 1t:
Then when she opened the door OF
her studio-iving room she gave cry oi
delight. For there was her father, waiting
for her =,
She ran into his open arms, and kissed
him enthusiastically.

"How splendid YOU look, Louise said.
His wear away had done wonders for him.
Ne was straighter stouter, he was bronzed
from the sum- he looked less like an elder
lv student and more like healthy noun
taineer. His ewes We're brighter too; the
far-away impcrsonal EXPRESSION had gone
completely.
There was so much to talk about
that the hours fairly flew. Louise had to
show him her improved work, and tell
him in greater detal all the things she
had written him.
I'm proud of your work, Mr.. Dris-
com ssid finally. I'm afraid, though,
that YOU have over done it,
.'Overdone it," Louise questioned
well. YES, overworked. You seem
10 be well enough, but there's some
thing about your faoe-perhaps II 5
xour eves-whatever IL is, YOU are not
as genuinely healthy as I'd like TO see you:
Glow observant you've become!
Louise laughed.
care YOU perfectly happy and content
ed?'' her father asked.
Louise looked thoughtful.
Il think I'm as happy as most. No one
is perfectly happy-at least, she quail
fed her statement, 'verv few. This work
gives me something to do. it takes up my
time, and my thoughts. 1t gives me an
ambition ] want 10 improve year by year
I've met some very delig htful and
genuine people through il, and through
Murray especially through him
Work and friends--yes. they are I'M
eortant. But are they enough TO make
sou contented?' MIR. Driscom insisted.
No, Louise said. But they help.
| think the finest thing IN the world Is TO
fall in love and marry, and 70 bring up
family. No matter how brilliant a career
ron,an has. she would miss the only real
part of life if she missed that.
Some do both" Mr.. Driscom re-
marked.
Some do Louise agreed And

Louise stared across the room.
That's what Id like to do. but I'm
afraid ] never will. | am afraid by tins
time that Harry doesn' even want me
How about vou?" her father said.
Are YOU still in love with him."
"Of course" Louise said simply, as
though there could be no other alternative.
Her fathers face clouded over. This
young daughter of his was becoming in
cfeasingly dear TO him, and the mere
idea of losing her again hurt him. Ii she
would be happy. OF course-then he
would stsnd the new parting and the new
loneliness gladly. But he was not sure she
would be happy.
Louise watched his face and guessed
his thoughts. She got up from her chair
and came over 10 him, to sit on his lap and
put her arms around his neck.
But I'm not going 10 leave YOU, she
said. You're my best sweetheart. now
I'm trying to forget the other thing.
Let's open up the house tomorrow II
find some servants, and well get out the
car, and I'm going to buy lot of pretty
things TO wear to please you"
Then she added, as though 1t were an
after-thought:
Lets phone Murray to meet US At
dinner"
