WASHINGTON-UP-The hard

to bear is a sympathetic or nosy
civilian-especially female.

Kirk, who spent 10 years work

fore the war, emphasized that this
isn't malice on the part OF the
public. 1t is ignorance and thought

As a step toward establishing the
proper public attitude toward the

sorry that he had TO go home

That's all right, darling" Ju-
dith told her.
The slow tears slid down Eva's
face. She said, "lll miss Ella, so
much"
"Of course. We all will. Try TO
sleep. I'm going to sleep in here
with you" Judith said.
A little later Mary beckoned her
daughter-in-law and they went
quietly from the room.
"I'm sorry" began Mary gently,
chat you have had such an unhappy
ending to your honeymoon"
Judith smiled, a little. She said
valiantly, 1T isn't ended, it never
will be-" She added presently, Pm

They had agreed previously on
the use Of MARY" instead of Moth

about asking my mother TO come

"What did he say"

blue eyes were direct and unswerv-
ing-"but I'm sure he doesn't like
the idea"
Mary said, after a moment,
"Well, it's natural. He wants to be-
alone with you, Judith. But he will
adjust himself"
Judith shook her head. "Hs

"No. I've known it always, since

about the future too much. Things

Ella had the sort of impressive
funeral she would have loved. And
things did arrange themselves; or
rather. Ella arranged them. When
her will was read it was found that
she had left life interest in a very
large sum to her sister "who," she
had indicated, "has been dependent
upon me for some years without
complaint although l must have
tried her very soul upon innumer-
able occasions. Now she is to be
dependent upon no one"

charity, her maid, and other serv-
ants, as well as her lawyer, and to
Matthew she had willed twenty-five
thousand dollars, "in affection"
and to Mary an equal sum, "call it."

Everything else, all of which she
was possessed, was left to Judith.

NJ. E.: What causes moles? Is
there any way to stop them or any
way to control them? never used
to have them, but in the last two
years l have been bothered with
them.
Answer: There are many diff
fereut kinds Of moles. Presum-
ably you are referring TO the
small pigmented moles that may
come in numbers in middle aged
persons, at the menopause in
women, and after childbirth. In
the opinion Of most dermatologists
they should be removed either by
excision or refrigeration or Xrsy
or endothermy.
Z. W.: What is the cause and
cure Of infectious dandruf?
Answer: Pityria5is capitis is the
scientific name for infectious
dandruff. Simple forms may be
treated by an ointment containing
salicylic acid 5 grains, ammoni-
ated mercury 30 grains and ONT
ment Of rose water one ounce. Put
on the scalp thoroughly Saturday
night and scrub the next morning
with soft warm water and green
soap.

CHAPTER THIRTY

Ella was right, and all his as
surances could not shake her. But
she kept insisting, "You can be
married right here I'm sorry
Judith can't have a church wedding
but she won't mind too much"
So, in the autumn, in hotel bed
room they were married, Lynn was
best man and Eva Lambert gave
her daughter in marriage. There
was an improvised altar by the fire.
place and an old, fine-featured cler-
gyman, and autumn leaves in great
jars. No flowers except the little
bouquet which Judith carried. She
wore white, and tulle cap yelled
in lace. Her eyes were bluer than
the fiawless October skies and her
small face as white as her gown.
There" said Matthew to Ella,
after it was over and the kissing
had begun. IL hope you're salts
fed"
Very. 1t was lovely wedding"
declared Ella, "but | regret l
gypped you out Of a thousand pres
ents and a dozen bridesmaids"
Judith said, sitting on the edge
of the bed: IL have all the presents
/ want" she smiled.
These included a most substan-
tial check from Ella, with which to
furnish the apartment they had
taken, not too far from the Office /;
a check from Mary, and her own
engagement ring, the diamond re-
set for Judith; a check from Lynn,
for the wedding trip. And, from
Eva, her pearls, all she had kept
from the disaster.
There were gifts from friends,
from Sam and Hilda, Bill and Bar
bara, and others of Matthew's as
sociates, and from Judith's, too .
From the luckless Dan a chaste
silver bowl, and from the equally
unfortunate Mr.. Treadway a very
characteristic gift, his favorite
polo pony sculptured in bronze.
These, and other things, awaited
them at the apartment which Mary
was to put in order while they were
at Hot Springs. Matthew had
given himself two weeks holiday.
That much time he could afford,
and no more.
Two weeks. A mellow southern
sun, smoky blue mountains, blue
skies, trees -.
Once in the starlit night he said
to her, softly, 81 didn't know there
was woman like you"
Judith put her head against his
shoulder. She murmured, at
frightens me-"
What"
"This-much loving. Matthew,
is it true men tire of women who
love them too much? l mean,
shouldn't one withhold little,
never give everything, not quite"
He laughed, "What a child you
arel"
She was a child, lovely and ar
dent, her ardor burned in her like
a clean, upspringing flame. 1t was
innocent, a wild, magical wonder,
and Matthew was moved by it to
greater tenderness than he had

always love me-" he demanded,

always love me-" he demanded,
"like this. Always"
"How could | stop?" Judith
asked in the utmost amazement.
Two weeks and then they were
driving back to New York. At
their last stop, Eva telephoned
them. They had wired ahead, Civ
ing their itinerary, in case Mat
thew might be needed. He was
needed now, they both we're. For
Ella was gravely i'll.
They reached New York just in
time. Ella opened her heavy eyes,
smiled at them and tried to say
something. The specialist moved
forward quickly, the nurse spoke
under her breath and then-it was
over.
Judith stayed in the hotel with
her mother, and Matthew went, f.
nally. 10 the new apartment alone.
There we're a number of adjust
ments to be made. Before he left
the hotel that night his bride spoke
to him. She said, in her shaken
voice, "We'll ask mother 10 live
with us, of course"
Matthew answered, "Of course"
a little too quickly, and she looked
at him, startled. 1t had seemed so
obvious. Eva, with Ella gone, had
no one. She was not the sort of
woman who could make a new life
for herself. and live alone, as Mary
had done. But Mary hadn't lived
alone really; most of the time she
had had Matthew.
Standing there in the living room
of the suite, Judith moved close TO
her husband, touched his arm and
asked. "You mind, don't you?"
"Of course not" he replied i'm
mediately and bent to kiss her.
"You look all in," he added. Oar
ling, do try to get some sleep"
But she shook her head impa-
tiently. If you really mind, it
won't work out at ALL"
But | don't. Naturally she must
live with U.S." he said, perfectly
aware that the prospect filled him
with the utmost reluctance.
Matthew wanted Judith all for
himself. He wanted to come home
to her and to her only. He liked
Eva Lambert, she was a sweet little
person. Rather colorless perhaps,
always little overshadowed by the
memory of her personal tragedy
and by the overpowering personal
ity of her sister. She would efface
herself and that in itself would be
irritating. You hated to think that
she would deliberately efface her
self, because of you.
he kissed Judith again and whis-
pered, Everything will work out. I"
Mary was there, as she had been
when Matthew and Judith arrived.
She had taken a room next to the
suite and now she was in Eva's
room, giving her the sleeping medi-
cine Matthew had prescribed, talk
ing to her quietly, in her controlled,
firm way.
When Judith came in, Mary
asked, Matthew gone ,"
"He went home" said Judith and
sat down Imply in big chair as if
her knees would no longer obey her.
Her mother spoke family. look
