said, putting on the air of a polite lit

that disagreements couldn't matter.
She knew that DR.. Fred wanted to
stay in Meldon and his fiancee want
ed him to be q stylish doctor In the

love of hts own people, his JOY in
working among them, was one of his
finest attributes. Surely Miss Blair,

At first Mathiide thought she would
never go back. She just couldn't. feel
ing horrid and sick and somehow
ashamed. Then she remembered that
she wasn't quite through with a
crown which she was making for a
farmer who would be in at II in the
morning. He came many miles and

She'd have to go back. Well, then,
she would go back all homely and
dowdy. She'd brush her hair down

crepe dress which she had worn when
DIR. Fred had first chosen her. She
thought she wouldn't even put on q

person that they wanted her to be.
Why not? What was the use, of be.
ing otherwise?
But not even that mournful solace
was permitted her. She remembered
suddenly that her mother had used
the black crepe to refine her Winter
coat. Other dispositions had been
made of similar old ugly garments as
new ones accumulated. The annual

as she left the Office.

her ears as she looked up at the desk
and found the picture gone again.
When she returned from the drug

She was glad that the early after

when the rush ended early, at 4

the doctor. 'Ili stick around a lit

But when Mathilde came out into
