This sway Is conducive to mental

THE LOVE PENDULUM"
BY MARION

But it was Colin, after all, with
whom I really discussed the great
problem that confronted me.
Colin was in every day, either for
tea or for the evening. When / chose
to stay home and dine. he came at
my phone call, his quiet, humorous
talk acting like a tonic to my nerves.
And the rare days when he did not
appeal were blanks. 1t did not mat.
ter whether 1t was only a meeting
among a party of friends at some big
house, 1t was simply his presence,
the sense, of his sympathy, that kept
me going.
II asked you once what I was CO.
ing to do about all this" / said n
afternoon. 1t was late in the winter
and the sun came warmly through
the windows of the apartment,
slush and melting snow.
81 remember. 1 didn't help you
any," he answered, lighting a Gig
arctic by slipping the end Of a long
piece of paper between the logs of
my blazing fire, and using it's flame.
The glare of the flame threw into
relief his ugly profile, his wide
mouth, his brilliant red hair. 1t was
always odd that SO ugly a man could
be so beautiful.
II know what I'm going to do
now" T. answered. I'm going to
leave Win"
He was stirred for once from the
little cloak of composure that COM
pletely covered him always. He
Strengthened up from his hunched
position in the low chair. He threw
1his newly lit cigarette into the fire
and turned to stare at me

!"As bad as that!" he said, still
staring at me. Tell me about 1t,
Connie. Things usually aren't so bad
you know after all. Win Is pretty
young. and he really is very fond of
you"
"Fond won't do-he's fond Of
others too. 1 can't quite make up
my mind. I'm miserable staying
here. I'd be as miserable, more so,
