CHAPTER XVIII.
Martha's Resolution.

Martha was preoccupied. On the
way home she said very little, and it
wasn't until she was about to say
GOODNIGHT to Perry that she realized
how silent she had been. Neither of
them had talked very much, and quite
suddenly Martha was afraid. She was
afraid that Perry might read into her
silence the thought that she was con-
science-stricken because of her friend
ship with him. 1t was practically
true, but for all that. she did not wish
Perry to think so. She could not lose
that friendship, she would not lose It.
She had made up her mind definitely
to that.
Distractedly she sought about in her
mind for something to say TO him,
something light and airy and convinc-
ing, something that would dismiss the
evening. and what had happened dur
ing the play as something OF no con-
sequence. But the more she tried the
|more impossible she found 1t to do this.
There was something in Perry's man
ner, a grave aloofness that choked the
words in her throat, fand for the first
time since she had known him he did
not come upstairs with her. He left
her at the door of the. elevator with a
few conventional wofHs Of farewell.
Martha had hoped to take him up to
the apartment. John was away on one
of his trips, and neither of the chill
dren would be in for some time. Up
stairs Martha had hoped to regain
some of the radiance that had been
hers earlier In the evening. AS it
| was, she had a prensonition that ter.
rified her. 1t wss as though she were
| suddenly convinced that things were
| not the same between herself and
Perry. 1t was almost as If Natalie
had come between them.
For the time being the danger that
threatened Natalie was swallowed up
| In Martha's worry over her own af
fairs. AS the elevator carried her up
| stairs she was weighed down by a de
preston that she could not seem to
l shake off

DAUGHTERS OF TODAY
BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR

In her imagination she followed
Perry home. She saw him Light his
pipe and sit down to think things
over. Suppose he decided not to see
her again. Suppose there came days
when she waited In vain for him to
telephone. Suppose tonight had end
ed things between them foreveri
Once in the apartment, she almost
yielded to the temptation to call him
on the telephone. Some innate pride
in her, however. kept her from yield
ing. No, she could not do that. Besides.
she was exaggcrating things. She
was overwrought, nervously tired. To-
morrow everything would be just ass
1t had been and she would laugh at
herself for being such an idiot. y
While she was undressing she made+
an effort to put her own affairs aside
and to return to Natalie'S problenI.:
She would have to speak to Natalie
Not In the old-fashioned way Of Old
fashioned mothers, but as a FRIEND.
She would make an attempt to win
NataIie's confidence. She would show
Natalie how girlishly winning and
sympathetic mother could be. She
would wait up tonight for her, and
she would be very careful to show.
Natalie that 1t wasn't because of a,
desire to interfere that she had
broached the subject. but only besg
cause she was interested. =,
Wrapped In a neglige, she sat down
In a big chair with one of the new
novels. She had turned several pages
before she realized that she hadn't as-
simulated one thing she had read,
and finally she put the book aside,
and returned to her thoughts.
How silent the apartment was. 1t
must be getting very late, how late
| she didn't know. because the little
| amber clock on her dressing table had
stopped and her watch was at the
| jewelers.. -
She decided to go into the living
room to look at the time, but as she
rose to her feet and went toward the
door she heard q key being carefully
| inserted in the lock of the outside
door. She drew a long breath Of re-.
lief. That must he Natalie now.
Softly she crossed the room and open.

steps that were not quite steady came,
down the corridor.
