 Muriel was all interest. "A girl! Whats she .called?"
 "Louisa for my sister,"
 Muriel looked up at the bronze I plaque over the door of the main drawing room. Its in her honor the club was founded, isn't it?" The plaque read, Louisa Emer- son House.
 Cass' face frightened. Its 8 perfect memorial. Louisall never | be forgotten so long as there are girls working in this big city.
 There's a happy woman" Mu- riePs friend said lazily as they got into taxicab and whirled away. Refreshing to find one." I"If 1t won't be too much for you I'll take you to see another happy one," Muriel announced.
 Lead on."
 The maid who answered their ring at the stone-fronted house in the east Seventies said Mrs Clees- paugh was In. She would take the card up.
 Muriel surveyed the drawing room with interest. "She does her. Sell uICely, OOeSu SHe uEdWlSu the friend.
 Its very good indeed" said Muriel, noting the mellow patina on the Queen Anne chair, the sub- tie melting together of the colors of wall and fabric.
 Mrs Cleespaugh wishes to know if you would mind coming up," the servant inquired sedately a moment later. ''She has been ly- ing down. This is her first day up."
 They followed up the narrow staircase and into an apartment of pastel tints and fragile French furniture, a room which seemed the perfect setting for the girl on the low couch.
 How nice of you to come," she smiled to Muriel. I'm still hay ing to be lazy. Doctors orders"
 They kissed after the fashion of women who have not met for long time. The languid caller ac- companying Mrs Desmond sat down to blow cigaret rings cas- ually as they talked of matters which only faintly interested her
 May see the baby?" Muriel begged. Llama touched bell rope at her side and a starched Scotch nurse carried in a mite smelling of warm flannel and tall cum powder
 Isn't she precious?" Muriel de- manded. The languid lady of the smoke rings agreed.
 Curious things, babies" she off, fered. Never could understand them"
 Liane laughed. They don't need to be understood. Only need to be fed and washed at this in- fant's age, at any rate"
 The nurse looked daggers at the cigaret, held in such dangerous juxtaposition to her charge.
 1T don't think the air in here is good for her. madame" the nurse said stiffly. Liane laughed. Take her out, Mana. We won't contami- nate her if we can help it."
 She whispered, She's terror but wonderful nurse. don't know whether I shall keep her or not when I'm stronger"
 Muriel looked utterly scandal ized. You wouldn't take charge of the baby yourself?"
 "I might even do that. Why not? I think baby tending ought to be made fashionable"
 How does Give like her?"
 He adores her. You'd think no one had ever had a child before."
 The languid one arose, crushing out her cigaret in a tray. "Muriel. I hate to break up the party, but honestly must rush. Dining early tonight" They left in a feminine furry of promises and half made engagements.
 What can women see in that maternal stuff?" unused the lam guid one. "It bores me-" Muriel hailed a taxi. Dunn" she said. thoughtfully. There may be something in it. You never can tell"
 She might have thought there was a little later. if she had seen young MT Cleespaugh unlock his street door. take those narrow steps two at time, and rush headlong into the room where his wife lay. No languor could have been proof against the embrace he gave her nor the look of tribute he paid her fragile loveliness.
 He said in troubled voice, "Howells told me when I called that you had a headache. l rushed straight home"
 Tt was nothing. stayed up too long this morning. I'll go slow the rest of the week"
 Darling. promise me you will"
