"Cet her, Harry. Quicki Tell her everything you told me. Of course she wondersi So would T."
 Harry followed Corrinne. Sue, watching, noticed that her sister had slipped down into a corner of the wide, deep divan by the fire. He sat down, too Their voices
 Grace came wandering into the kitchen.
 Men are so-Dumb," Sue told her unexpectedly.
 "I know, Sue =. even the best of them"
 "The best of them are often the dumbest!"
 do anything?"
 "Will you turn the sandwiches, please? Thanks. I was trying to console Harry because he didn't understand a harmless move of Corrinnes and Corrinne didn't understand why Harry came to me for advice"
 They'll make up. Everything will be grand. Corrinne knows that Harry would come to you for help"
 That's the trouble" Sue am swered. "She can't understand just why he would come to me-"
 "T know how complicated life can be-" Grace said softly. "Re- member the night Jimmy and I made up and I went with him on his out-of-town assignment? Ev- erything was lovely for two days. Then we came back. I got the head of our firm to give Jimmy a chance to work out the contract had landed. Jimmy was as pleased as punch. He went around beaming and being so nice. I didn't mind. Jimmy thought the presi- dent wanted him to do that work. The truth of the matter is that he really would do whole lot bet ter job than could. I know that. But somebody let the cat out of the bag. Jimmy discovered that I had asked them to give him that particular piece of work. He came into my office and his face was so white and furious that was scar i ed"
 She stopped, remembering. '1Ie asked me if it was true. Of course I didn't want to say that 1t was but he had all the information. He went out so angry that I thought everything was spoiled again. Only it couldn't be! Not after we had set the world in the right place | again. I guess I cried. I was still there when it was time to lock the office and the president came in.
 "He felt sorry for me. And Sue, ho my that Il had wanted to give him that particular piece of work and had hinted around to me that it would DC wise to let him handle 1t and I had been a good sport about it and agreed. The girl at the switchboard and the man who overhead hadn't heard it all that's the way the impression ran. So Jimmy was apologetic and con- trite and everything. And-and we made up. But he never will know I did make the grand ges- ture."
 The sandwiches were ready, the coffee was perking. the voices ran on, low and merry in the adjoining room.
 Jimmy would have known that you loved him desperately if he had understood" Sue said slowly. 'But pride .. It's a serious thing with a man. But women We don't seem to have so much, do we?" ..r Sue watched Jimmy when they were back in the living room. He was attentive. sympathetic, ador- ing when he turned to Grace. She caught the smiles they exchanged. Everything was all right now. They had sailed through stormy waters |. once the ship had cap- sized-but they had righted in and the sea was pleasant now.
 Harry's face was a little tense Corrinne's face was little white.
 When everyone had gone Jack drew Sue down to him.
 What happened in the Kitchen, honey? What did Harry want? He =. he's still keen about Corrinne, isn't he?"
 Instinctively Sue understood what Jack meant. If Harry wasn't so much in love with Corrinne now, there was danger that his affection for Sue could be growing stronger again.
 He's still as much in love as ever with Corrinne, isn't he?" Jack repeated and there was something entreating, hopeful in his voice.
