Pat felt the lace of her frock,
looked down at the new sandals,
wondered in a moment Of panic
just how she would compare with
the other girls. Dottie Barnes with
her cars, horses, servants, Paris
gowns. She did want to help
Larry, wanted him to be proud Of
her, to help him make friends,
only she didn't see why he placed
such Importance on these people.
The subject made her uncomfort-
able. She switched the converse
ton.
IT saw q horrible accident on
the way home" she told him. "A
car struck O woman and child"
Larry interrupted roughly, Nov
for heavens sake, Pat, let's not talk

should think you'd want to forget 1t
once In a while"

CHAPTER III

The accident broke down barriers
between strangers. Passengers in the
bus were all discussing the tragedy.
The woman next to Pat was voluble.
"Of course I can't be positive,
but I think 1t was the coupe,
she declared angrily. "The win
dow was misted. admit, but I
saw 1t cut across in front of the
bus just as we stopped. Oughtn't
to be hard to catch the driver.
1t was sheer murder, that's what.
I have a sister-in-law who was
hit by a car last year. She was
In the hospital for months, and
her leg still bothers her The po-
lice ought to do something To
drivers who go like mad. It's ter
rible, awful"
The rest of the ride home was
uncomfortable, The knowledge that
tragedy had come so close made Pat
nervous, depressed. Her imagination
could all too clearly picture the grief
in some home where family waited
unexpectedly for a mother and
child.
It was a relief TO get off at her
stop, to breathe in the cool, wet
air, to be free of the talk, to turn
her thoughts to her own affairs,
to the date with Larry. OF course
1t was fortunate Larry had not
been caught in the traffic muddle.
Had he been there he might have
seen the accident, might even
have been called as witness,
And Larry hated such messes -
pain, death, the detail Of trying
to identify anyone She was glad
he had been ahead of It all; not
involved even as much as she had
been for those few tense moments.
The bright lights Of home well
coined her through the door, and
the odor of food made her realize
Just how hungry she was after
lunching on nothing but an
orange. The familiar setting was
dear to her. Though throw rugs
were necessary to cover the worn
places on the living room carpet,
though antimacassars were used
TO cover threadbare places on chairs,
and sofa, there was the warmth Of o
home about the rooms.
HATS tossed heedlessly on the
chair nearest the door testified to
tho presence Of the boys. The
radio blared TO dance band. Bill
sat sprawled in big chair read
ing the sport pages while Joe
twisted the radio dial over to po-
leo calls.
Ei. handsome" their young
voices, deep bass now, greeted her,
"Shed you coat, sis, we're ready TO
eat"
Her mother came In from the
kitchen. Eyes, they've been ready
for an hour. You'd think they'd
been on a diet for q month to
hear all this talk about hurry up
dinner" She smiled and put her
soft cheek against Pats. Have O
hard day, darling2 thought
you'd be home earlier"
Trite, comfortable talk that push
ed the outside world far away. Pat
hung up her wraps, deposited her
bundles in her room, brushed her
rain damp hair into waves. Down.
stairs the police call broke into a
monotonous stream Of announce
ments.
Attention all cars, attention all
cars. Be on the lookout for blue
coupe that struck and seriously
