brought a young woman TO
meet her before. Roberts
mother could feel herself
trembling. but she consented
graciously. and tried to read
his suddenly SeCrctive face.
The night of the visit she
dressed with great care. anX-
iously scanning her smooth
unlined face.
Robert had told herr the girl
was her image, although he
had hastily assured her it was
only a physical likeness.
Now she was frightened.
She did not know why
The house was immaculate, -

appearance was charming.

Miss Teller was nice, but
she made Robert 5 mother UNI
comfortable. She kept re-
marking on her youthful APP
pearance, which was a lovely
compliment, Of course.
But Miss Teller kept insist
ing that she. Roberts mother,
must have kept up with the
times to keep SO young.
And she talked with no hint
of Difference. discussing such
unpleasant things as war and
privation. and waiting brightly
for her opinion.

OFFICE OF HIS OWN

Robert was promoted. in
June of his thirty-eighth year,
to an office of his own and a
private secretary He uttered
a gasp when he saw Miss Tel
fer. She was an exquisite
duplicate of the girlhood pic
ture of his mother. But when
she spoke in her crisp voice,
expressing herself with com
plete assurance, he was not
quite sure that he approved
the contrast.
For week he continued
insure. Here was a young
woman so like his mother in
appearance that he could not
help being drawn 10 her. Yet
her brisk ways were so I'M
like his mothers demure ones
that he was often repealed.
Still. at the end OF the
week, Robert grudingly admit
ted to himself that he liked
Miss Teller. At the end of
two weeks he was shocked TO
discover that he was in love
with her. At the end Of a,
month he realized that he
wanted to marry her.
