and the strain Of the coming Of the
baby.
Byrd unpscked her clothes while
Pat finished Strengthening up the
apartment. Housework didn't come

as she ran the carpet sweeper
around.

supper tonight said Byrd. "and
then let's 20 on q bat, | just ache
to be jostled by those department
store crowds"
The subject Of Larry was taeitly
dropped.
For the first time for months.
Byrd bought some clothes.
She bought a beautiful winter
coat and a hat 10 match, a dinner
dress OF black velvet, gloves and all
sorts Of accessories that make the
ensemble perfect. With a determ-
incd voice. she charged everything.
After the supper dishes were
sshed, Byrd led the conversation
back to Larry again.
you gee" began Pat. guardedly.
Larry feels that he's done every
thing possible to bring about a re-
Cancellation. He admits he behaved
like a terrible cad and you were jus
titled in leaving him. But he's
tried unsuccessfully to show you
just how much he's changed. lie
feels that the way he's knuckled
down 10 work ought to prove some
thing. He thinks you've decided on
a separation and possibly a divorce
and that nothing he says can change
you. lie thinks you're In love with
this Martin-oh, he thinks quite a

Byrd looked mystified.

she asked Byrd seriously: "Can you
imagine Larry jealous7 can't"
That night Byrd lay awake far
into the night. thinking how she was
going to get back. Finally she heard
Pat tiptoe in.
II can't sleep thinking about you
two silly things" she said in a very
grown-up manner. I'm going 20
sleep here
She knew that Byrd's pillow was
wet with tears as she crawlsd into
bed beside her.
The next day they ran out 70 see
Tiny and her new brood. Marcy had
gone to the farm in Illinois, taking
Peter with her. and her letters
showed that she was cheerful and
finding some measure Of happiness
in being with her parents. Peter
was proving 20 be a delight 70
them in their old age.
Chef came home for the weekend.

around the living room like q child
about TO receive q new toy.
I'VE haven't had a party for =
coon's age" she said. Suppose !
ask Tiny and Fred to come over To
dinner tonight"
Chef kissed Byrd on both cheeks.
He took every privilege that Was nc
corded to brothers-in-ias.
"It's lucky for Pat that you
weren't free when I married her." he
said with a broad wink for Byrd

touches. the pzper frill around the
crown roast Of lamb. the sauce serv-
ed with the cauliflower and the de-
sert built up with cclcred relatire
and whipped cream.
