HER GOWN LIFE"
DOT a week after the funeral Edith
got out of that big house-"couldn'
bear to miss her father" they said,
and some wondered if Edith, "all
alone" might not do something
desperate with herself" Edith called
me Up few days ago and asked me
to come to dinner with her, and
when. l. assuming. of course, that
she meant me to meet her at restau-
rant or hotel, asked where, she said.

and gave me an address.
ROOM OF DREAMS
Edith had set her little mahogany
gateleg table by the open fire. A
bright orange luncheon set was upon
it, black and orange dishes, and a
spray of bronze chrysanthemums
soft rugs like autumn leaves upon
the floor, time-dyed tiles upon the
walls, a bit CT copper here and there,
pieces of rich and rare old furniture
books cvcrywhere-in short, a room
of beauty and comfort and the crea-
ton OF woman who knew what
WaSsWhat.
POSE OR real,
Edith was radiant. She fairly
fixed with talE-books and art and
travel and men and new recipes and
new clubs and this and that. I
thought of an occasional evening
spent with Edith in the old home
bare and cold and empty, with Edith,
dour and lifeless and etc-nally doing
something with her hands-had put
her down in my book as a routinist,
drudgery-loving. I, like the rest of
us, never said Poor Edith" for she,
TOO, seemed to take it all for granted.
