After Matthew was asleep she
would find she could not go back 10

Judith Lambert came East with her

Matthew afterwards, "she was al
ways so vivacious. Not q pretty
woman at any time but an attrac.

Mrs. Loring-the rich, redoubt-
able Aunt Ella-was now tremen-
dously fat, with tiny, high-arched
feet of which she was Unfortunately
proud. She kept her hair black and
her skin white. and was really pref
tier than she had been in her lean
girlhood. She had the same air of
amiable arrogance which Mary re-
membered from their school DAYS,
and it was no wonder that her sis
ter was more or less erased by
her overpowering presence. Every
thing about her was overpowering:
the perfume to which she wa. ad-
dicted, her custom-made frocks, her
furs, her jewels, her almost incredi-
bic personal maid, with a face like
the side Of a barn door and hard,
efficient hands.

Lambert told Mary, with her visit

eyes in which tragedy had faded to

Mary, smiling.

Peter grinned at her now across

they were dining.
"What's she hke?"
"Who7 Oh, Matthews mother.
Grand person, lovely to look at,
you'd never dream she had son so
old. l forgot you hadn't met her."
"Irene's all right" he commented,
spearing some antirasto, "a little
on the sober side, of course"
"She's one Of the best. But do
wish she wouldn't wait on him hand
and foot" Elizabeth said. "His
mother did too, still does. It's
shame" she repeated; "he's really
a swell person, even if he is spoiled"

There was 50 little comfort for
lovers in New York. They couldn't
afford theaters and night clubs, but
they could walk, and window shop,
or ride on a bus. They couldn't go
home to Peters and listen to his
mother complain. She was very
hostile TO Elizabeth in the sweetest
possible way. They did not dare go
to Elizabeth's.

The weeks slipped past and Irene
felt very well. She was conscious
Of an enormous and patient peace,
a sense of waiting and fulfillment.
Matthew was sweet to her, very
careful Of her always, but he was
away q good deal. Some of his
newest patients lived out of town
and he was likely to be called to
Long Island or Westchester. He
would come home late and turn on
all the lights-he loved a blaze of
light - and tell Irene all about
