fuential position now where she
could help Beryl q great deal.
How do you mean-help meT4
Beryl asked.
"Why. In your career" her moth

you'd better write her a nice little
note and apologize?"
BeryI smothered the anger that
rose within her and laughed. *

that is" she said
Its not funny. It's s~erious!"
It's funny. Irene has nothing 70
do with my career. I'm what I am
without her help And / don't sup

you'd accuse your darling daughter
OF meaning to turn my boss against
me-"
Mrs. Everett answered uneasily:
How can you say such unreasona-
Bile things?" However. her eyes
avoided BeryIs. She was thinking
OF something that Irene had said
when she found BeryI gone that
afternoon and a large part OF her
triumph spoiled.
"I1l show her!" Irene had de-
clared. I'll see that she never gets
another contract with the Gaylord
Soap Company. And IL won't do he-

Mrs. Everett sighed, wishing
Beryl were as reasonable as Irene.
Honey. you mustn't do that"
she had said 10 Irene, "Your father
and / need Beryl's help"
Irene had seen IL at once and ad-
mitted she was wrong. In was m
comfort 10 have a daughter like
Irene-one who could be oblIging.
1t would be a little thing for Beryl
to acknowledge her fault as readily
as Irene had done and write 10 her
sister.
AS usual her argument withhher
neither was OF short Duration. Mrs.
Everett. thinking 1t over. felt that
she had not made the situation any
better for Irene. She came IN softly
the last thing before she went 10

freshments for Beryl-
Are you sure you're WELL" she
asked.
Beryl nodded.
II wish you wouldn't quarrel
with me-" her mother said forlorn-
ly. Its hard to have a child get
married and 20 away. Irene didn't
mean the cross words she said. IL

right away"
Poor little Irene. . =. But
Beryl hadn't been thinking on her

Beryl was not at home when the
bridal couple arrived there. She'd
had a battle royal with her mother,
