NOW co on WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XVIII
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
Tor those who are not seen at par
ties, where the crowd gathers.
1t became generally accepted that
Dana and Scott had stopped play
ing and invitations dwindled.
Neither Scott nor Dana regret
ted this. Both realized the situa-
ton was of their own making and
were sure that social life could be
picked uD again when finances
Justified it.
Paula Long was the one who
was most difficult to persuade
that the young Stanieys were hap
Ply without so many invitations.
Paula argued that social life was
essential "to get ahead" Dan2
and Scott compromised by playing
bridge once or twice a week. On
rare occasions they accepted an
invitation to larger party be-
cause they were not sure Paula
was entirely wrong when she in
sisted it was important for Scott
to be seen at smart functions.
Secretly - and the thought
brought a bitter thrill-Paula be-
lieycd Dana was a little Jealous Of
her. Paula came TO the conclusion
that Dana preferred staying at
home with Scott to exposing him
to the attractions Of other women
herself. She assuT-
cd herself that her only motive
was Il desire to help Scott build
himself up in the community and
she refused to face the truth -
that she was influenced by des-
perate loneliness 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
she couldn't bring herself to really
like her. There was between them
the intangible feeling of distaste
Of person whose motives are
frank and open for one who is
subtle and secretive. Paula seemed
always to be building a protective
screen, behind which she did her
clcverest work.
Scott was buster than ever,
though being busy wasn't especial
ly remunerative. IT'S being busy
with the right people that counts,
Dana decided sagely. She would
never have dared to voice such q
cynical thought to Scott. She had
had one lesson. 1t was after the
charity ball, when Scott had eX-
planned that he had deserted her
that evening to attend q CONFER
cncc."
"You left me Just to 90 off and
talk to lot of doctors about
something's" Dana had asked in a
agglieved tone.
at wasn't an ordinary confer
cnce," Scott explained. He had
been called in by group of ply
sicians on a case of blood poison
ing. or "strep" infection: The
subject was one to which he had
devoted niue hstudy and, in this
particular case, the other doctors
had decided to use SCOTS treat

"But still can't see why you!

Dana had persisted. "Wouidnt

"The patient was Dr.. Osborne'S
wife" Scott answered slowly.
"Ohw Dana said, "that's diff
ferent." :,
She had felt mean and small
when Scott replied sternly, If II
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 credit,
ed Scott with turning the tide OF
her illness. There was some tax
that Scott might be asked to write
an article OH the case for medi-
cal magazine. As for Dana, ShGr
was quite certain Scott would
some day revolutionize all exist
ing ideas about medicine! :.
