SflS cIung 10 nm unJll Sfle got control of herself. T didn't feel well tonight, Gar. I need sleep and exercise = in fresh air. I'm not used to eating breakfast at noon time and going to bed at dawn
 You ought to begin golf, Kit. Thatn set you up. I'll sign you or, for some lessons with the pro out at the club. Marge and I are taking Red and Di on for a foursome to- morrow and you can take a lesson then if Daetman has any time. It's going to be a godd match-the lo 5ers have got to buy the din- ners.''
 Kitty smiled in agreement of the plan. She agreed with Gar that AIarge had looked stunning tonight last night, with glance at the little clock on Cars desk.
 @Its habit,' she thought. Small town habit" she added, remember ing Cars criticism. She remember ed it without hurt, now, but with a bewildered sense that things had started to go wrong and that in some way it must have been her fault. They'd almost quarreled.
 She'd dress quietly and take a walk while Gar slept. It would clear her head, help her to think things out.
 She knew the routine of the house. Mrs. Frew breaekfaSted in her room, after which she closeted herself in her office until lunch con time. She rarely lunched at home. Carol slept late, then fol- lowed her own pursuits, usually out of the house.
 There was little square of park within few blocks of the house. She'd walk around it a few times and then sit down on one of the benches.
 When she finished her walk Kitty chose a bench. When she set her self to the task of thinking things out she grew confused again, a lit tie frightened. They had so nearly quarreled!
 Gar thought she was standoffish with his friends, a prig, when she was only shy with them. They made her feel that way; more often than not she did not know what they were talking about and no one of them. unless it was Hubby in a burst of devotion, bothered to tell her Left alone with Marge and Diana, in the cloakrooms, or wait ing for the men in lobbies or on the Club veranda, she'd always felt a little self conscious, ill-at-ease; in their chatter about the newest in dress and shops and barbers, and rouges, perfumes, one an- others clothes and the clothes on the women about them, they never acted wholly aware that she was with them.
 I'm not envious," Kitty sighed, dolefully. I'm not jealous" No, even though Marge often coolly appropriated Gar she was not jealous. She was not so small townish but that she could laugh at it.
 They never talked now of that home they were going to have. They'd let themselves get caught into a whirl of gayety that was crowding out the real joy of their marriage.
 Shd talk it over with Gar; he'd had his play, he, would want to begin to work that they might be independent of every one. She flushed, thinking of Cars debt to l Red. But she would not reproach Gar with that; she'd be very tact ful, very loving.
 She walked home eagerly. She was a little startled to find that it was past one o'clock. Gar must have been worried as to her whereabouts, thought perhaps that she was lost. She could well get lost, for she knew scarely anything yet of the city.
 Pound had come in with Cars breakfast tray.
 | .Is the Mother downstairs Gar asked him.
 i She's gone out, MT. Gar. She's lunching out"
 | At that Gar drowned. "That's bad Why didn't you call me, Kit?' He surveyed his breakfast with dis taste. His eyes were still heavy with sleep. I've got to touch the Mother for some money It'd look nice if Marge and lost this after noon and had to let her pay for the dinners"
 Gar, don't ask your mother for any money! You'll get your allow lance next week. We can manage until then"
 There was an excitement in Kit lty's tone that brought Cars glance If0 Ia1. plauipC faca
