neglected many of the small cour-

accustomed. They bickered and
leased each other. expressing opin-
ions with frankness which deceived
no one as to their happy intimacy.
They seemed so perfectly suited
that Sheila regarded them visit
fully. 1t must be wonderful to be
as sure of your husband as Mildred
was of Ed.

husband. 1t was Mildred who broke
into the masculine conversation by
saying. What goes on here
Can't you boys forget business for
one evening and make yourselves
agreeable ?"
They laughed goodnaturedly and
changed the subject, reverting
back to their original topic just
often enough to prove that it had
never really left their minds. But
someway Sheila was not so irri-
tated as she once would have been.
1t was refreshing to be with her

were so outspoken and wholesome.

Their Time Off

Dear Mrs. Post: My husband
and l are employed by a family
that means to be good to us but
is. as it always happens. very
thoughtless. We are supposed to
be free after dinner. which Is served
in the evening during the week. and
at noon on Sundays. We think this
Is very generous on the family's
part, except that 1t never works out
like that. They always have their
coffee at the table, after which
they sit at the table and talk and
talk, so that we can't get finished
any evening early enough to go
anywhere except to a late movie.
Then, too, the afternoon is always
over by the time we finish our work
on Sundays. My husband thinks 1t
would be all right II. after they
have finished their coffee, we clear
ed the table and finished our work.
But l don't think we can clear the
table under their noses this way.
We would certainly appreciate it
If you would help us.
Answer: 1 think the best thing
to do is to go to your employers
and explain your situation, and ask
II they mind whether you arrange
to do your work another way.

tranquility of convalescence sets
an example that is doubly appeal

In her letter she says: II expect
to go TO the hospital soon, and
probably will be laid up for many
weeks. l have been thinking about
the letters of thanks I shall be
expected to write to friends while
l am convalescing. and have been
wondering whether l must dictate
these and have some one write
them verbatim, and then sign my
name per her initials, or whether
these notes can be written by
some one for me, and signed in

sooner than may otherwise be pos
sible ?"
My answer is that you will prob

CHAPTER TwENTY-NINE

ChAf IEh NV ENI mime
In a way Sheila admitted she
was glad Raoul was not going with
her to the Buttons. She knew that
Mildred was precisely the type of
American woman he did not ad-
mire. Independent and dictatorial.
It might be just as well for them
not to meet until after Raoul and
Sheila were married. Besides there
was the possibility that Jim might
change his mind and appear.
She could not understand why
his refusal to see her again should
hurt, but IL did. She would have
preferred that they part in a more
friendly fashion since he would be
bound to report to her father when
he reached home.
The suffering Raoul had caused
her gave her some conception of
how Jim must have felt knowing
his love for her was hopeless and
although she knew there was
nothing to be gained by seeing him
again she wished she could do or
say something to comfort him.
OF course he would recover. He
might meet someone on the trip
back to the States or perhaps he
was already interested in someone
else since he had refused Mildred's
invitation.
She found the Burton's living in
a charming modernistic apartment
which Mildred had furnished to
look as much as possible like one
they might have had at home.
Ed was the typical American
husband, genial, indulgent, care
less. He permitted Mildred to make
all their social engagements while
he concentrated on his business.
