Liked deep stuff. We always felt like children in her presence, even when she was a little girl. She al- ways knew so much more than any of us: could just naturally see more and absorb more. Had higher ethics than any of us-demanded more from life. Even yet a lot of us girls ac- tually feel awed in her presence especially when she really talks. She makes us ashamed of our littleness. But she certainly is a good friend. Even yet we break our necks for her approval. But she never picked any of us for chum. She was the only comforter we asked when we wanted to tell our troubles.
 T presume I have literally wept on her shoulder hundred times. but she has always picked me up, dried my eyes, planted me on my feet and sent me off with a mental sugar plum. I admire her more today than any girl I know. Still, I've always felt she was one of the most terribly lonely women in tn world.'
 Does she say so?''

 ''She has lately. But I feel it's forced gaiety. She has broken en- agreements with our party several times recently for no other reason than that she knew she wasn't up to it--that the evening would be bore. Of course. she didn't say so. But I found afterwards she stayed at home and painted all the evening. She has done some really exquisite things.

 "Oh, yes, since she was a child. You ought to see a sketch she made of me one day in school when I had tooth gone. It's perfectly killing"
 But the subject palled on Annette and she was off again on another tack concerning some guests she was going to hay as soon as she got out of the hospital, to make up for lost time.
 That evening. alone with himself in his Elberton suite, Bob faced the supreme tragedy of his existence.
