 What a beautiful state of mind
 laughed Julet1e, And your David is he so happily saLisfied?'
 "Oh, no; but unfortunately David is q little ashamed of not being like all the rest It's given him a sort
 of inferority complex. You don't know. Juliette, how had it is, what it does to your self-respect. 10 live constantly wi,h people who have different standards of value and
 despise all the things you value most"
 'Perhars not, But you and DaNld have each other. Does that not Con- . pansate?"
 1 "Ye-ts ---ol rather it did as long as We were by ourselves and David wasn't under his uncle's thumb daily UucIe Judd adores David,
 bur Ii hasn't ever occurred to him that Tayid is grown up. He inter rupts his work to send him out on : crrahds. L. if he were an office boy and roars at him before other peo- rje, even before Davjd's own subor- dnates. And whenever David has an original idea abort the husincss hls unclo dismisses it as utterly in- rsequartial. no matter how good # is He keeps David in a stew most Of the tlmc just as Mother Frost keeps him in stew,
 And I tell him he shouldn't take
 Uncle Judd 50 seriously and he tells me I make mountains out Of his mothers molehills And were both right but that doesn't change the status quo any - except 10 mako us both htt!e Tadd.r."

Then The bank will be David's jet him comfort himself with that"
 Oh. l suppose you think it's siI- . iy, but the surest way to make ! David thumb his nose at his uncle would he to suggest that, David s never said so but I think his con- science k constantly prlckinG him TOT not being fonder of his uncle and of his mother too. Hes terri lily suspicious Of his own motives,
 poor darling That may sound sur

 asked you tc stay with me-" No. and I've wondered"
 "Because you are so incredibly youthful I had not believed it pos sible that there was anyone left in the world with q shred Of ilIusion- anyone who could wake in the morning and tell himself that lit" was good. that the sweet was worth the bitter and the heartach,s: tu4t there were such things as justice and honor, and keeping faith. and God who didn't laugh
 Dear JuIiette, But 2ou do be Iieye in Sometnin-," ,"
