CHAPTER *

AAFHA -
Mrs. Tully. refreshed by her
nap, stirred in bed. Mrs. Tully
was middle-aged, but there was
vestige enough of what had once
been real beauty to make people
describe her as a handsome wo-
man" Even in the terror of the
sinking Moravia and the confu-
sion Of the lifeboats, she had man.
aged to present an arresting ap-
pearance.
Sitting up in bed, she reached
under her pillow and drew forth
large square mirror and from
somewhere extracted puff and
powder.
Mary Carroll, her eyes leaping
with wild joy at sight Of the fig
ure coming down the aisle, paid
no attention.
Vincent was here-vincent had
not given her up for dead,
Mary started to signal wildly to
him. She tried to scream his
name.
Mrs. Tully, leaning toward her.
caught the excitement. whats
wrong? See anyone you know ?"
Its my sweetheart" Mary be-
gan, furious because the words
were so blurred and indistinct.
Hes coming down the ward"
Mrs. Tully, obviously not under
standing, let the mirror slip from
her hands. Mary saw 1t sliding
and saw reflected in it an ugly
distorted face. She caught the
glass and drew it closer, as Mrs
Tully, suddenly agitated, reached
for it.
Too late. Mary Carroll was
staring in fascinated horror at her
reflection. Hair combed tightly
back, ashen, notified skin, and a
terribly twisted, misshapen cheek
AS Mrs. Tully tore the mirror
from her hands, Mary was vague
ly aware that the woman kept
saying, "The very thing DIR. Lenoz
warned me about. The very thing.
He'll be furious. You mustn't
mind, dearie. You're lucky to be
alive"
The Cabling was lost on Mary
as, crouched in her pillows, she
watched Vincent's steps bring him
closer and closer to her bedside
Vincent's lean face was haggard
a haunted look in his eyes. His
brows, no longer cooked in amused
arrogance, were like black arrows
across his forehead.
For minute, the wards green
lights, the beds in even rows,
seemed to drop away. Mary Car
roll was alone, her very heart
beat silent.
Vincent looked at her-a fleet.
ing, Indifferent look-and walked
on. There hadn't been q sign of
recognition in his glance. Only
utter WEAKNESS, as if he were in
trance, driven hopelessly on.
Mary buried her face under the
sheets. Vincent hadn't known her!
She hadn't known herself. Per-
haps Mary Carroll was dead.
Mrs. Tully was trying to be
comforting. There's people COM
ing in here all the time looking
for survivors. Poor devils. Those
Of us that are alive have all been
accounted for by now, I guess. +"
She clasped her hands piously.
THE others have gone to their
rewards"
Mary remained motionless until
she heard Vincent's familiar steps,
slow and dragged now, return
from his search through the ward.
Then she noaned, low, despair
ingly.
A nurse rushed quickly to her
side. Soon, she felt the cool fingers
Of DR.. Lenox on her pulse. She
heard Mrs. Tully say, Honest, DR..

Is 1T WRONG TO ASK ~wHo-.

Is 1T WRONG TO ASK who?
Dear Mrs. Post: Is IL wrong TO
ask a voice ! do not recognize
"who Is calling. please" before
leaving the telephone to tell the
lady that she is wanted? I've al
ways done this and some friends
of my lady have been telling her
that this sounds rude She's asked
me to write you first before /
change my habit
Answer: II would make things
simpler II the voice calling said,
MRS. Blank would like to speak
to Mrs. Jones" But comparatively
few people do this and If you are
not perfectly sure of the voice so
you can answer, Yes, Mrs. Blank"
or rs Mrs. Blank speaking ?" you
would have to ask, who Is cali
ing. please ?" At least few people
certainly no one whose time is
valuable-should ever be expected
to go to the telephone without
knowing definitely who is calling.
CAN IN-L.AW RELATIONSHIPS
SURVIVE DIVORCE?
Dear Mrs. Post: am divorced,
and have two children. (a) Is it
right for my ex-relatives-in-law to
write direct to the children instead
Of to me when inviting them to
come to visit? A second question
about these same relatives. tb)
Would it be out of place, now that
I am divorced from my husband,
to invite his relatives to stay in
my house?
Answer: ta) Strictly according
to etiquette. yes, decidedly. OBJ 1t
is true, however, that the relation
ships of the divorced and of their
families are at present adjusted
according to personal feelings
rather than the conventional rules
of propriety which did not tolerate
the approach Of either family to-
ward the no-man's land where the
children lived alone. Today, how
ever, we have come to realize that
salvaging as much happiness as
possible for the children is of first
Importance and that when ex-rela-
tions-in-law can remain on good
terms, it Is certainly better for
the children that they do 80.
