SARAH HAS A GOOD CRY

"Contradicting myself?" Sarah repeated Grace's words. T don't think so. I'm using common sense. If . man loves woman he won't change that easily. If he does his affection could be purchased at the five and ten cent store! But it just saves us few jealous moments, that's all, although we know all the time how foolish these minutes are. We like other men to tell us our eyes still keep their luster and our complexion hasn't exactly lost its power, don't we? It makes us surer that our husbands will ap- preciate us, that's all. But Sue, what's happened You're tragic to- night"
 Sue smiled. She told the story in a few sentences, eliminating the sharp words, the personal impli- cations. -.
 "Go home and make up," Sarah said. "It isn't worth worrying about
 "But it isl" Was all of this twist ed, tortured feeling going to go for nothing. Sue was wondering. Was she going to suffer this way, again and again, and be told every
 
 thing?
 can you think of one sensible reason why you should be angry with Jack?''
 "Yes. He doesn't trust me!' She flung out the words.
 'T see,' Sarah nodded. And so you implied that you couldn't trust him. Hadn't you better go home excuse me, darling. I'm not trying to be inhospitable, but wouldn't it be wiser to be at home and not let him know that the ladies, aid society discussed your marital problems?
 q didn't intend to give him an account of the various reactions" Sue answered. "I'll leave of course if you don't want me to stay but I'm not going home!"
 "Sue, don't be that way! You can stay a week if you want to. But you're silly! You'll spend the night wishing you had gone home, worrying about Jack, wondering whether. his cold is better-that is if he had one-and if he didn't you'll find something else to worry about. Why don't you go home and make up? He's probably calling your home and growing frantic because yau aren't there. Besides, the long CT you wait the harder it will be to make up.'
 "Where did you learn so much ?' Sue asked, but she stood up and reached up for her coat.
 i've had a quarrel or two, too. Everyone does-at least suppose so. But I'm trying not to have any more. If Ted didn't have the car I'd drive you home."
 Never mind. have mine, and all night to use for driving pur- poses. Come on Sue.' Grace stood up. She smiled, then suddenly she laughed, and when she did the long green eyes were younger, the, tense white face was softer. "Oh, this is all so foolish!' Then she was serious again. "Why do we have to grow up and get hurt? Ready, Sue? I'll not come back until I'm happier. Sarah. I'm sorry I was such bore!"
 fine door closed behind the girls. Neither of them spoke as the ele- vator went down to the street. Grace's car was parked at the 'op- posite curb. Sue could glance up into Sarahs' apartment from the street as Grace started the engine. She leaned forward. Then she caught her breath.
 Sarah may have been gay and light and philosophical. But Sue could see her now, and her head was resting on her arms and her arms were crossed on the back Of the wide shelf that ran above the fireplace.
 Sarah, unmistakably, was cry ing.
 NEXT-Sue finds Jack at home.
