CHAPTER VIII


 INTER his shower, when he stood
 beore the mirror and knotted his tie. Walt felt as young as he had ever felt, He was not the young buck who had courted Margaret Ross; but he had taken care of him. self. He was still physically in the pink, He kept up with the times. He was a success in his business. res- pected, honored, popular. He was too old to go to the front in this war, but in his day in France he had not dodged wounds or death; they had dodged him. He had moved about so swiftly that few of Margaret's letters had reached him. But she was at the dock when his trans port came in. And she held high for him to see a baby!
 When finally he was free to take her in his arms, she said:
 T too, have not been idle"
 Why, you're only kidl' he had laughed, "A kid with a kid! What is it-a he or a she?"
 "A he like his father. and named after him to carry on his glorious name.
 That was the way she had talked of him then. But the boy had died and taken Waits glorious name" into the grave, It was an agony even to think of that loss. Yet 1t had bound them together. Years later she had borne a girl She would not name it Margaret, al, An was enough in her lovers life, She took the name "Jennifer," from a book.
 She had been a great reader then; a great reader of romance then, and a dweller in romance. Walt was under. such spell of memory that he seemed to forget what she had seemed to forget what she had since become.
 AS he drove home, he half ex- pected that as in those first years, his 1.-the, wild bride would run to fling her young body into his arms, kissing him, clenching him, babbling with delight in his return from the hateful office that had kept him from her all the long day long,
 LIS key trembled in the lock as HI he opened the door, And as of old, he wanted to shout, "Meg!" Meg" But he was met by the eternal radio-blare she lived in, The radio-turmoil brought Walt down the years with a mortal shock. The woman he lived with was not the girl he had married. She did not run to welcome him. She did not rise fro mher chair, or even smile. Her eyes turned his way with 8 jaded indifference as he stood on the doorsill feeling bereft of something precious that he could not bear to lose,
 He could not let his dream go

So It looks as though England's royal family is finally going to have to accept the one-time kings choice of a bride-just as any other fam fly has to accept a daughter-in-law or son-in-law, whether they like the selection or not.
 Like the British royal family, most families who disapprove of a marriage hold out for @ time against the newcomer.
 For a while they let the son or daughter who married against their wishes go his or her own way-often probably hoping the marriage won't last

without a struggle. He went to her and kissed her, She did not return his kiss or his words of en- dearment. She merely mumbled:
 What brings you home so earlyP"
 "Homesick, I guess" he num- bled She laughed that to scorn, but he went to the radio and cut out the noisy world to be with her. She snapped;
 Leave 1t alone, can't you9 I'm listening to @ serial"
 Then abruptly she remembered she had grievance. She seemed always to have one waiting for him. .
 When that daughter of yours comes inf ever she does--you'd better speak to her. She won't listen to me. Last night she didn't get in till this morning. It was the same the night before. de- clare l don't know what this gem eration is coming to-"
 What has our generation come toP' he was about to retort, but he heard Jennifer's young voice outside calling laughing goodhys to Tom"
 WHEN Jennifer came in she w brought youth and beauty and delight, but her mother began to nag at her - like sullen Winter prosecuting Spring. Walt went to his room to escape the ancient conflict, but he could hear Mar garet's ancient reproacheS:
 When I was young, girls obeyed | their parents. And don't you waste that innocent look on me. It may | fool your father, but 1t don't fool me, If you and your boy frienos are up to no mischief why can't you re- ceive 'em here like decent people do?"
 Young people like young people" Jennifer answered rebelliously.
 You go to other girls homes. Or so you say
 'The other girls mothers keep out of sight, Or else, they keep up with the times
 "Oh, so you're ashamed of your mother"
 You could be as bright as any of them, If you would"
 Its yourself you're really asham- ed of When was @ girl no young man would have dared ask me to stay out late at night. There was no gossip about me, can tell you
 "Oh, Mama, Mama, why do you have to talk like a dodo2"
 You speak to your own mother like she was a-a--I don't know whatp
 Neither do l." Jennifer laughed, but bitterly, You may have been my mother once, but now you're just an I-don't- know -whatl"
 "Walter Walter Hilyardp Mar garet shrieked. Do you hear what this ungrateful daughter of yours is saying to her own motherp"
 "Oh yes, I hear it," Hilyard answered drearily. And I'm sure the neighbors are all tuned in on your broadcast, too"
 I'm horribly sorry, Daddy" Jennifer said. T apologize, Mama. I try to be respectful but I can't seem to do anything to please you. Weren't you ever girl? Daddy, was she like this when you married her?"
 "Jennifer" He had to scold her, to keep from admitting the heart- breaking facts. Jennifer seemed to understand. He caught look of pity in her eyes. She sighed. Poor Daddyp whirled and ran from the room.

He then took the spade finesse, cashing the queen and ace, and made a smart play by leading the diamond loser. The jack of clubs was led, East won and returned Q heart, which was ruffed with dumlny's six of spades. The club six was trumped with the seven of spades, and the ace and king of hearts cashed, dummy discarding two diamonds. The heart eight was ruffed in dummy with the eight of spades.
 When the club ten was led, North held the spade nine and Q diamond, while West had the jack of spades ana jack of diamonds.
 If West trumped, declarer would discard the diamond. If he did not trump declarer would do so and give up the last trick.

The scalp, one of the farthest out posts of the bloodstream, sometimes protests its isolation by producing lack-luster or lifeless hair.

 They have to do 1t or lose forever the member of the family who mar ried outside their approval.
 How much better 1t would be If all families would say "So be 1t" when a son or daughter marries and accept the new member of the fam- fly right from the start-instead of first creating lot of hard feelings and resentment. For that Is just plain stupidity, whether the family involved lives in bungalow or palace.
 Because the son or daughter al- ways holds the whip hand, which is Love me, accept my mate," and the family always has to bow to that verdict in the end-or lose the real member of the family.
