The dinner was to be on a
Thursday, and all the four days
before, Joan spent with Aunt Ev-
vie and Aunt Babe on her mind.
She couldn't forget them. Joan
wore the pale blue dress that
Francine couldn't sell, with a
great spray of gardenias from Cur
tbs, on her shoulder. She looked
very young and appealing. Mrs.
Rarstow could find nothing to
criticize, and Curtis was radiant
with pride.

shriyeled, came first. Then the

Joan. He was very fat man with

At last Aunt Evvie came.
Joan felt her coming, though
her back was turned. Heard her

I'm afraid her story is pretty

"But why she did it-that's
what we don't know. How do you
know the love that she might
have had for him? Love does
things to people, Curtis. Queer,
terrible things. Maybe she wasn't
a bad girl. just loving him SO

She heard her own voice
throbbing, husky-it had sounded
like that a long time ago when
she took a boys tanned face in
her hand and kissed it and said,
I'll never be sorry-ever-"
That was what love did to her.
That was the way it tricked her.
As it did Constance Howard, only
people knew about Constance and
need ever know unless she told.

Her eyes searched his. again,
piteously. So hard to know what
to do so hard.
He was looking steadily out to
sea. The coldness had gone from
his face. He looked tired and
lonely, and a little bewildered. He
did not understand.
A big tear splashed on the dia-
mond that he had put on her
hand. Another. The big white
stone seemed to spread under
her blurred vision, to melt into
her taers.
He turned his head and saw
that she was crying. Don't" he
said. And his voice was husky
and throbbing as hers had been.
The Washington times., 1928-10-17

He loved her poor Curtis
poor Curtis. Don't cry.

When he released her from his
arms the red bali that was the

He felt her cold fingers. "Why
me?''
He raced all the way home,
where they were to dine with his
mother, but even then they were
late.

Joan felt her displeasure. but

They sat down at the big table
with its heavy white cloth and
silver candalabra and the mirror
like a lake under the cut glass
flower bowl. So old-fashioned. So
much like the old house in Sausa-
Ito.
Joan nibbled at her food IN
dreamy abstraction. Mrs. BarstoW
was discussing the list for a big
dinner with Curtis. Names.
Names. All unfamiliar to Joan,
and besides she was so tired, too
tired to listen
Then Mrs. Barstow's voice
again, shade more insistent.
Joan, I've asked your aunts,
the Misses Van Fleet, Of course.

Gomez Joan's heart sang cheer
fully, in a monotonous, pleasant
little tune all the while that Mrs.
Barstow talked about the Misses
Van Fleet, and how important 1t
was that they should be repre-
scented at the big family dinner
for Joan and Curtis.
OF course, it wasn't a family

At last they were going. The
