My mother-in-laW would have been
amply revenged for my apparently
nonchalant reception of her news could
she have seen me after she had swept
offendedly out Of the room. l locked
/ the door behind her and threw myself
face downward on the bed to do battle
with the raging, primitive jealousy
which had leapt up within me at the
sight Of the photograph Of Claire
Foster, with it's bizarre inscription to
Dicky. 80.
/ could carry off to her my alrily
tolerant statement that Dicky had
dozens of such photographs, and my
belief that neither his possession OF the
photograph nor the inscription upon It
meant anything vital to me. But l
could not convince my own jealous soul,
though my common sense and my
knowledge of my temperamentai Peter
Pan tried TO whisper to me that l had
uttered only the truth to Dlcky $
wrathful mother. So for an hour that
seemed a week l tortured myself with
coniectures as to the true meaning OF
the things which appeared to be cor
related-Dicky's silence, DIR. Petit S

face gray and drawn, my hair dis
hevelled.

minutes?" l called in as careless an
information as l could manage.
"Of course" she returned cheerlly:

face, rubbing my cheeks into color,
and arranging M hair. When she re
turned l looked fairly presentable
again, although | had no hope that her
keen eyes would not recognize my de
preston.
A Rare Jest
She gave only a cursory glance at
me, however, and spoke with the
amused intonation which she always
uses in speaking of Jerry TIGER.

myself that neither of them ever
guesses that sometimes the jest grows
a trifle monotonous and annoying.
