from long absence. rested, restored
to the exquisite dainty prettiness which
is hers, and which just escapes OF be-
ing absolute beauty. Beside the old ap-
peal Of friendly comradeship which she
always had for my husband, she would
have the charm of comparative novelty
to him, and / tortured myself with
the idea of the joyous welcome which
volatile, beauty loving Dicky. slightly
bored with domesticity, would give her.
LiIIian's Suggestion
SO absorbed was l that l did not
realize until car had whirled past me
going in the opposite direction, that
the waving handkerchief in the hand
of the woman beside the driver must

she was already on her way to the
hospital to begin her delicate and i'm
portant work of espionage over the man
who had so prosecuted and terrified
Katie.
The little encounter was salutary for
me. 1t jolted me out Of the absurd

greasy raw stuff like this. Take it
away, l don't want any of it-and see
If you can make me piece of decent

she could not see the door in which
