place" Gypsy's mother would say
in her gentle, fretful tones, locking
about her dissatisfedly at the
cream-colored walls and the bright
curtains. "You ought to come in
with US. Bea can move back into
her old room and l can fix the sew
ing room up for the baby"
Gypsy had heard all this a dozen
times before. She was tempted
she was often tempted. The vision
of herself in the big, shabby,
friendly old house: of Clytie, rush
ing up to her with one of the
oldtime breakfast trays; of shad-
owy someone taking baby of
your hands" it was all terri.
fcally alluring. But no-aside from
the fact that such an arrangement
would be unfair to her parents, she
felt strongly that it would be also
a wound to their pride, hers and
Toms.
GO she would put the generous,
well-meant invitation aside with
gentleness. "You know We have a
lease here. Nuns"
Mrs. Morell brushed this aside
with characteristic lightness. well,
break it, break it. Other people
do
Gypsy would smile, sigh and
change the subject. No, their prob
lem could not be solved this way.
Meantime she saved, she bought
cheap cuts of beef for ragouts, she
contrived a delicious pudding with
one egg and some scraps of bread.
She taught the silent Elsa to save
bits of butter and cream. She
walked to the chain stores, pushing
the rosy baby in his dark blue car
riage. to buy the things listed in
the days advertisement as "spe-'
Gals" There was nothing she did
not know these days about balanc-
ing the food budget. Was this the
same Gypsy who had danced far
into the morning hours IS months
ago, who had spent a whole weeks
wages on q silly little hat with a
feather? 1t was-and yet it was
not. Gypsy's high color was
dimmed. Her laugh rose less read.
lily to her lips. Her step was not
so light. And yet there were mo.
ments-as witness New Years eve
when she wore her old red crepe
with a new sheer frill-when one
caught a glimpse of the old gayety
and wildness.
Tom held her close, dancing in the
Caravan hallway, hung with Topped
crepe paper. You're perfectly
beautiful tonight, darling!"
She could see herself in the old.
fashioned mirror. Bright eyes,
dark hair above them.
"Am 1 really%" She felt tonight
as though she were made over,
Why didn't they do this more, she
and Tommy? They were getting
old before their time.
Hunt Gibson, uncommonly hand
some in the black and white OF
dinner clothes, came up and
claimed her for a dance and Tom
went off with one of the Blake
girls who was pretty and amusing.
Haven't seen you for years."
Hunt grinned down at her with
that three-cornered. tantalizing
grin of his. you look grand"
He danced superbly, Gypsy told
herself. He was one Of those irri-
tating men who did everything

once and for all.

She was just lifting her eyes to

veled. Isn't he the most precious
thing aliye?" Tom said he was.
Surely no other baby in the metrop.
oils walked exactly on the dot of
feedingtime, as David did. Tom
held him while Gypsy warmed the
bottle, testing it against her cheek
as she had seen Mrs. Burby do.
He was a beautiful baby, he was
beyond price. But if only he didn't
waken so early in the morning. If
only his demands and his needs
would not multiply daily! No mat
ter how much Elsa did there was
always full quota Of tasks for
Dayid's mother. 1t seemed to Gypsy
she was nearly always tired these
nights. Almost too tired to talk to
Tom, to be gay and amusing and
interested. Pushing the baby's car
riage over the sidewalks was dull
duty.
Gypsy laughed at herself, at her
absorption, but deep down she was
conscious of a pin prick of fear.
Tom went out into the world every
morning. He came into contact
with new ideas, new people. While
she-Well, she was just a vegetable
these days, she told herself, smil-
ing wryly. Tom always contra
dicted her Loyalty when she said
these things. But could he help
seeing it? She wondered.
Helen MARI came to call, and
Blanche Jordan. They admired the
baby, they brought him presents.
Everyone was sweet and kind.
They gave advice. They told Gypsy
she must go about more-mustn't
let herself get rusty. Helen asked
her to lunch at the Plaza and
Gypsy wriggled out Of the invita-
ton as gracefully as possible be-
cause she hadn't a new hat.
"Why didn't you go with her,
sweets?" Tom wanted to know.
And Gypsy made some excuse be-
cause she wouldn't hurt him by say
ing she'd nothing decent to wear.
Besides, no matter where she went
these days she was forever flying
back 20 the baby. Was he warm
enough? Was Elsa careful? If
there should be q fire . No. she
would not leave him for long. Silly
it was oil silly. but sometimes
when she Looked at him asleep his
littleness and helplessness and
preciousness squeezed at her heart.
CHE found herself weeping good
deal at this time; weeping for
no reason at all, or for the slight
est Of reasons. She would be gulp-
ing back sobs. They would choke
her throat, tears would flood her
eyes. 81 am a fool" she would tell
herself after one of these brief
storms. But she was not strong
yet.
You're much too pale and thin"
her mother told her when the fam
lily came over from Blue Hills. She
scolded Gypsy all afternoon-"lots
of milk beef tea a good
nap after lunch" Gypsy listened,
nodded, agreed. Useless to remark
that her resting times and David's
did not coincide. When her back
was on fire, when her eyes stung
and her feet were weary, David
was wide-awake, big-eyed, ready for
his airing. When David slept in
doors there were dozens of things
to do. She had no time to cold
cream her face, nor give her hair
the many strokes it had been &C
customed to. Her nails were short
and guiltless of enamel. If she sat
down with a book or a day-old
newspaper she soon felt herself
nodding off. No, David's demands
upon his young mother were
prodigious. No use to tell Mrs. Nor
ell all this. 1t would only worry
her.
