 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER xXv1I1
 The rest of the winter Scott and Dana were left to spend much of their time alone. Memories, in the young married set, are not long for those who are not seen at parties, wherever the crowd gath CTS. It became generally accepted that Dana and Scott had stopped playing and invitations dwindled.
 Neither Scott nor Dana regretted this. Both realized the situation was of their own making and were sure that social life could be picked up again when finances justified it.
 Paula Long was the one who was most difficult to persuade that the young Stanleys were happy with out so many invitations. Paula argued that social life was essen tial ito get ahead" Dana and Scott comprised by playing bridge once or twice 6 week. On rare occasions they accepted an invita- tion to 8 larger party because they were not sure Paula was entirely wrong when she insisted it was m- portant for Scott to be seen at smart functions.
 Secretly - and the thought brought a bitter thrill - Paula be- Iieved Dana was 8 little jealous of her. Paula came to the conclusion that Dana preferred staying at home with Scott to exposing nm to the attractions of other women --particularly herself. She assured l,eRself that her only motive was desire to help Scott build himself LID fin the community and she re- fused to face the truth - that she was influenced by desperate lone- liuess and the urge to find some means of seeing the man she loved. Dana, on the other hand, was glad when, as the days passed. she and Scott saw Paula less often. She didn't actively dislike Paula, who always seemed friendly, yet sho couldn't bring herself to really like her. There was between them Che intangible feeling of distaste of 6 person whose motives are frank and open for one who is sub tie and secretive. Paula seemed al- ways to be building 8 protective screen behind which she did her cleverest work.
 Scott was buster than ever, though being busy wasn't especial Iy remunerative. "It's being busy with the right people that counts, y Dana decided sagely. She would never have dared to voice such a cynical thought to Scott. She had had one lesson. It was after the charity ball, when Scott had ex- plained that he had deserted her that evening to attend confer ence."
 "You left me just to go of and talk to a lot of doctors about some tning?" Dana had asked in slight ly aggrieved tone.
 'Tt wasn't an ordinary confer ence," Scott explained. He had been called in by a group of physi- cians on a case of blood poisoning. or 'strep" infection. The subject was one to which he had devoted much study and, in this particular case, the other doctors had decided to use Scott's treatment.
 'But still can't see why you had to be called from the dance, " Dana had persisted. Wouldn't the next day have done as well?"
 'The patient was Dr. Osborne's wife" Scott answered slowly.
 "Oh!" Dana said, that's dif- 3erent."
 She had felt mean and small when Scott replied sternly, If it had been the scrubwoman in our building I'd have gone just the same, Dana"
 Mrs. Osborne was improving, taking sun baths now, and every body said that Dr. Osborne credited Scott with turning the tide of her Illness. There was some talk that Scott might be asked to write an article on the case for a medical magazine. As for Dana, she was quite certain Scott would some day revolutionize all existing ideas about medicine!
 Scott had joined the local medi- cal association and, tonight, was away attending meeting of the county group 50 miles distant.
 Dana had felt mildly excited that Afternoon when Grace Richardson
