married."
I'm not. I'm separated from my
husband"
Maybe that explained It, and
maybe it didn't. She called herself
Lily Lou Lansing, without any
"Mrs." or "Miss." When forced to
designate she said "Mrs."-"I'n be
called Madame Lansing before
long, anyway" she thought.
Dwight Gwin knew about the
baby Of course, but he did not speak
Of it for several days. When he
did, it was as II he had always
existed. She was grateful to him
for that.
Tony went with her frequently on

apartment on Fifty-seventh, right
next door to where Manchester
used to live"
"Used to live!"
"Sure. She left for Europe right
after. You didn't meet her bv
chance, did you? Well, anyway.
Olive and took this apartment-
nothing elegant like Manchesters
"a mere three-roomer, but neat
and free, all but the gas and cleo
trio. and telephone"
Maxine Rochon! never in nv
life saw such . girl for getting
things free!"
