to know. And she had just found
out about Ranny from Thomas,
her husband.
"Hello, mother" She came into
the big, bright room with her eyes
alight. "Hello, you, Peggy"
She kissed them both with lips
that were velvety with youth
and fragrant with French per-
fune.

Mother Phelps frowned mag
nificently. 'Lollyg' she said, In
a terrible voice; but Lolly only
grinned at her with lips as red
as sealing wax.
Lolly belonged to this age Of
Brass, when nothing is too sacred
to be talked about-not even the
suffering of the human heart.
How did Ranny happen to
leave your" she asked calmly
pulling an artichoke apart with
her fork. IFS it because Of this
Delano girl, or is he jealous OF
Peter Wiki again?"
'Lolly!' said Mother Phelps
once more; but this time her tone
was not so severe. It was plain
that she wanted LoIIy to go on
with what she had to say about
Peter Wiki.
And Lolly did. Trust Lolly.
Well" she said, turning to her
mother, I'm only talking about
something that Peggy knows
about herself. She knows Ran.
ny's jealous OF poor old Peter"
Peggy felt herself blushing, but
she didn't say a word, and Lolly
went on:
Everybody who's ever seen
Peter and Peggy together knows
that he's wild about her. Why,
he never takes his eyes off her
face when he's with her."
Peggy felt her mother.ir-laws
searching eyes on her, and she
looked up at her bravely.
You know I've never done any
thing to make Ranny jealous of
me, don't you, Mother Phelps?"
she asked bluntly.
Mother Phelps answer came
slowly: ''N-no. I'm sure you
haven't intended to. But l know
that Ranny was jealous Of Peter
Wiki"
She paused and looked down
at her plate for a moment,

it didn't matter to her at all.
Peggy felt now that she was
taking Ranny's desertion as a
huge joke.

getting to be quite the thing,

Julia had poured the coffee and
left the dining room. "I sup.

When she had gone Mother
Phelps seemed to sag lower and
lower into her chair, until Ter
chin was sunk down into the coli

jeweled hands covered her eyes.
"I seem to have been a very
poor mother. Peggy" she said at
last in a. .muffled voice.

"She's a wonderful little house
keeper" Peggy reminded her.
"and she's so young. Give her
time and she'll settle down.
You'll see."
But Mother Phelps was not to
be comforted.
However, after a time, she
came out of her brown study,
and decided to settle the Ranny
