CHAPTER "a

It was after midnight when
Jennifer arrived home after the
mystery play. The lift, if you
used it in the dead of night,
made a soughing noise tn at
could be disturbingly head
throughout the house; and,
after her habit, she wound up
the great curlicue of staircase
instead.
There were routine signals
along the way, to tell her Ger
tain trifles that registered Ian
guidly along her brain. Her
father was in bed. She could
tell by the closed bedroom door
and the color of the rim Of
night light.
Ever since she had been old
enough to take cognizance Of it,
there had been something hor-
rible to Jennifer in the idea Of
the bed and bedroom which her
parents had so submiSSively
shared throughout the years.
It was one Of the few subjects
Jennifer had never dared broach
to her mother. But it was hor-
rid to her. There was something
Of a tomb about that chamber.
In it lay dead love. About it
were Strewn wilted passions.
Two husks lay side by side in
1t, desire long since dead. Flor
entine chamber-of- -horor.
Jennifer's maid was waiting
for her, and there was a glass
of chilled orange-juice on a
table beside her bed: and on
the bed itself, her night things
of rosy satin and pale lace.
Very Much Relieved
Just the same, it was with a
sense of relief that she found
herself deeply in bed, lights
clicked out and still no Jenny.
& The sense of hurt that was
out all over her had not neces-
sarily direct bearing on the
evening she had just spent with
Grafton. It was rather the
sense that had risen to its cul-
mination with this evening,
that nothing she could hope to.
be or do was to have bearing
upon the life of Grafton. He
was constantly Tipping her off,
as he would ash off his cigar
cite. She merely had flavor
for him. He sometimes said
of her that she gave him ap-
petite for work.
"By sense of contraSt?"
Probably"
And probably it was. Not be.
cause she exhilerated him. Not
because there was some one
who was restless for his achieve
ment. His plane of life was one
that excluded her. And sud
denly, lying there in a little
knot of pain in bed, Jennifer,
as she had never desired in her
life, wanted access to that
plane. Everything that hereto
fore had been of prime impor-
tance to Jennifer was Secon-
Diary, if not second-rate, to
Grafton. Always had been. Un-
consciously, in what he re-
vealed to her about his past life,
was he constantly showing him
self up to her. The things
that mattered most to her were
the things that Grafton had
never even had time to deSplSe.
For instance, the two years
that Grafton had lived in Ok
ford. England. doing graduate

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

He thinks perhaps some might
think he is limiting for a gift.

Just Contrasts
The summer he had spent
living on IS cents a day in a
room in Assist that overlooked
the upper and lower chapel Of
st. Francis, and writing one OF
the plays that helped make his
trunk excess baggage, Jennifer
had been lying most of her days
on Lido sands in a bathing suit
that looked painted on, her
head lounging against the lap
of a well-oiled young Italian
count to whom she was reported
engaged.
How far the Raricks had
missed fire! Two Of them,
Jennifer and her father, lying
there now, with elaborate walls
between them, in pile Of
grandeur that rose above them
in the elegance Of this RennaiS-
ance tomb, one of them lying
out there in a slim boys grave,
into which the worms must be
finding way by now.
What sense Of defeat was

her father, lying, himself, not

Sive feet from her own bed.
What bankruptcy there? What
had Grafton meant by the
really lonely person of her
father?
What indictment against her
had lurked in his eyes? No, No.
Rarick's loneliness was of his
own making. He had built it
UP maSSively about himself.
Jennifer had not been cast out,
because she had never been let
in. Presently her mother would
come home, carrying on her
narrow shoulders enough in
chinchilla and square diamonds
to support a family of 10
through a lifetime. She would

down the center Of Park Ave

fifty-dollar carnations on the

Socially and financially, it

NANCY PAGE Nancy Breaches the Doc
 Urine of Tolerance
 By Florence Ia Ganke.

The Good Taste girls were loung- ing about Nancy's living room. She was pouring tea. To outward ap- pearances she was intent upon her task but in reality she was attempt ing to decide just how she would word her little preachment. She wanted to talk to the girls about tolerance. She had heard them criticize other girls sharply and when she had taken them to task they had said. But Mrs Page, do you want us to lie? We don't think doesn't know how to dress nor how to act. should we pretend that we think she Is al right? If we do we would be acting out lie and you told us we should not do that" Nancy was almost non -plussed. How could she teach the girls to be tolerant and to recognize that morally there are no whites and blacks but just different shades of gray.

Some way or other the nice prim little "curtsy" has flown to join the other shades of what used to be con sidered nice behavior" for our girls.
 Our grandmothers did 1t when they were little. When their elders came near they spread their skirts, retreated foot and bent knee, Il nice gesture of respectful difference to spectacles and black silk.
 A generation or so passed on and the curtsy was neglected. But about twenty years ago careful mothers who liked the d-fashioDed custom revived it. We had the little girls all over the country bobbing up and down like Jack-in-the-b The question was. how old did they have to be before they could stop bend ing their knees and start bending their elbows, or when should they start shaking hands instead of bob ping when mothers friends came in?
 Not Interiors Now!
 No one ever settled 1t, but if we wait long enough such things usu- ally look after themselves, and longer exploited-nor are they be-
 
 infertority, argue as we will that 1t was only reverence, respect, and all that. But when n girl of fifteen was still dropping Il curtsy in acknowledging an introduction to new acquaintances or friends of her parents. sometimes little older than herself, 1t became q compli- cated thing indeed.
 What then do little girls do when they are introduced to adults, or when older friends enter the room?
 Then now shake hands and say how -do-you-do very politely. And the older person who knows what's what will not neglect this cere- mony but wil include the young est lady in his greetings.
 Teach Them Hand-Shaking
 It is better! Hand-haking Is a affair with gracious ness on both sides. It gives the child status, no matter how small he is and feeling somehow of having q place.
 Every little boy and every little girl should be instructed in shak- ing hands naturally and willingly with older friends. and 1 notice tue ltny OL oul people frequently making the overtures themselves first. It Is charming.
 English people do not have the general hand-shaking habit of Americans so perhaps the curt esy' is stil lpopular with their lit- tic girls on this account. I do not know. But here in America. we do like a hand-clasp, do we not?
