AUNT JANE

SYNOPSIS.-1n a preface Mary
Marie explains her apparent 'dou-
BILE personality" and just why Is
a "Cross-current and a contradic-
ton: she also tells her reasons
for writing the 6iary-later to be

at Andersonville. Mary begins with
Nurse Sarah's account of her
(Mary's) birth, which seemingly in
terested her father, who is a IA
nous astronomer, less than new
star which was discovered the same
night. Her name is a compromise:
her mother wanted to call her Viola
and her father insisted on Abigail
Jane. The child quickly learned
that her home was in some way
different from those of her small
friends, and was puzzled thereat.
. Nurse Sarah tells her of her moth
er's arrival at Andersonville as
bride and how astonished they all
were at the sight of the dainty
eighteen-year-old girl whom the
sedate professor had chosen for
wife. Nurse Sarah makes it plain
why the household seemed strange
one to the child and how her father
and mother drifted apart through
misunderstanding, each too proud
to in any way attempt to smooth
over the situation. Mary tells Of
the time spent 'out West" where
the perfectly all right and genteel
and respectable" divorce was being
arranged for. and her mothers Ito

courts decree the child is to spend
six months Of the year with her
mother and six months with her IA
ther. Boston is Mothers home.
Mary describes her life as Marie
with her mother in Boston and
about her mothers prospective
suitors."

smile that's worse than crying right

I knew right off that first minute that
l wasn't going to like Aunt Jane-just

way she looked me over from head to
foot.
Aunt Jane is tall and thin, and
wears black-not the pretty. stylish
black, but the "I-don't-care' rusty
black-and stiff white collar. Her
eyes are the kind that says, "I'm sur.
prised at you'll" all the time, and her
mouth is the kind that never shows
any teeth when it smiles. and doesn't
smile much, anyway. Her hair is some
