 .'YeS, my dear and that's what con forts tue most of anything-hecause you are so devoted to Euniee. You see I have feared SOmetimes-for you and Jerry: that you might separate But I know on account of Ennice. that you never will.

 But Mother was speaking again.
 "Eunice-yes. You mean that you never would make her go through what you went through when you were her age"
 Why Mother, I-I-" And then l stopped again. And I was so angry and indignant with myself because l had to stop. when there were so many, many things that l wanted te say, if only my dry lips could articulate the words

 But, after all, what is the use Of going over these last miserable years like this? Eunice is five now. Her father is the most popular portrait painter in the country. l am almost tempted to say that he is the most popular man, as well. All the old charm and magnetism are there. Some times I watch him (for, of course, do go out with him once in a while), saw him at college. Brilliant, polished witty-he still dominates every group of which he is a member. Men and women alike bow to his charm.
 After all, 1 suspect that it's just that Jerry still loves the ice-cream and sun sets, and l don't. That's all. To me there's something more to life than that-something higher, deeTer, more worth while We haven't taste in common, thought in unison, an aspirat tion in harmony. l susI ect-in fact I know-that get on lis nerves just as raspngly as he does on mine.

 Well, it's finished I've been about four days bringing this autobiography of Mary Marie's to an end. I've en- joyed doing 1t, in a way, though I'll have to admit can't see as it's made things any clearer. But, then. It was clear before There isn't any other way I've got to write that letter. As said before I regret that it must be so sorry an ending.
