The Middle Ground
HAPPY ENDING
BY MARION RUBINcAM

Mrs. Talbot wondered whether Jor-
dan would object to dancing-as he
had stormed and denounced when they
tried it that night three years ago.
That night Dick had carried the
photograph to his place, where it had
been ever since. That night Amy was
almost 18-she was within week or
so of q now. That night she had de-
fed her father, hated him for for
bidding her to dance. Now she smiled
at him saucily and threatened to do
the rext fox trot with him.
Mrs. Talbot watched her three child
rem, and the three who were almost as
beloved as they. Jane still chung to
her mannish tweed suits and tailored
waists. She was not pretty, never
would be. But she was fine looking
and her eyes were more than merely
beautiful. She fairly surrounded Don
aid with her love and her care, her con-
slant attention-of which he was al
ways pleasantly self-conscious, and
which he would be miserable without
And Luther had found himself.
Clarie was right-she had taught him
now to relax, to waste time, to be
| frivolous, to be happy. Claire might
never be anything but SWEET and shall

come with the baby.

season, she said. The baby will be

l-"Claire Talbot, well known theatre
cal star who scored such a success as

ly retired"-this was part of an article
on the home life of great actresses.
Luther laughed at his sons early pub
licity notices.

AS for Amy-she was dissatisfied
with her progress, yet she was making
great Roadway. She had finally Sc

parts with an opera company in Bos-
ton. For a girl of 20 with only a mod
erately good voice, this was amazing
But Claire was urging Amy to try
musical comedy, where she would have
less competition with really great
voices, and where she might become
a star.

benefit And Dick wore his old broad
grin, his sleepy green eyes following
Amy wherever she went. 1t was Mrs.
Talbot who had wired Jane that Amy
had broken her engagement to Adam,
and asked to find Dick and tell him
so. 1t had taken Jane six months to
do this, for Dick was knocking
about" the South American sea coast
towns, picking up odd jobs and con-
soling himself for his poverty by his
pleasure in learning the language.
They were all happy-surely they
would go on being happy. Mrs. Tai
bot stood in the doorway watching
them dance. listening absently to Mrs.
Rowland's gossip, conscious of her own
pretty restful home and her own
pretty gown.
Her life too was a success. Once
she thought her life would be a sue
cess if her children's lives were. Now
she knew better-she knew that she
was an individual too, with her own
life her own problems
She interrupted by having Donald
put his arm around her waist.
Mother must dance too!' he cried,
pulling her out on the porch.

turned and looked out of the great
window at the city that lay below. She
could see the bridges over the river,
marked by slender lines of light, and
could hear the jumbled mass of the
city's sounds that came as a steady,
almost threatening roar to where she
stood. She had always shivered a
little when she stopped to listen to it,
and had been glad that she had Dick
to stand between her and the life it
represented.
But tonight she smiled, and crossing
over to the window, stood there look
ing down into that great, dark mass
that was New York. She would face
it alone now, she told herself, and if
Dick Brabant did not like the way she
used the freedom he had forced upon
her, he could pay the price of her
recklessness.
A few moments later, when she and
Dick were bidding the others good
night, she heard Patricia say to Keith
Gilbert.
What are you doing tomorrow
night? Want to go dancing with me
somewhere"
Sorry have an engagement" he
answered, and Sally, noting Patricia's
disgust, smiled to herself. The con-
quest wasn't so easy as that high and
mighty young person had supposed.
She wondered what Pats would have
thought if she had known that she

dubbed Just an old married woman, "

engagement had been made-and that

bench at the very edge of it, and en-

Dick smiled; Everyone who knew
the Allings counted on Nathalie's be-
ing reminded of her own experiences
by whatever everyone else said, and
on her insisting on telling of her own
affairs before they could proceed.

their country place." he began, his
eyes avoiding Sally's. And we start

The others shouted with amusement,
but Sally found it hard to summon a
smile. For she and Dick had laughed
all through that rainy, uncomfortable
night-she had never suspected that
he looked back on it as a disagreeable
experience.
