) ’< ■ CHAPTER XXXVII Gwendolen’s father was dissatisfied with the report that his daughI ter had gone on a shopping trip to New York. She wouldn’t have done that, he knew, without asking him for money. He had not yet told Mrs. Hoffmann that Gwen was gone, but he spoke of it when he got home, showing plainly that he was worMrs. Hoffmann was a placid woman, and used to beir .K\ ft ?£ of her daughter s coniidence. but she was devoted to her husband and when he was worried she was unhappy- . I “Now don’t you go getting upset about Gwen,” she said coiufortnurlv “Gwennie’s gone shopping all right. And she didn’t ask you for monev. Herman, because I gave her what'l was going to spend on her Christmas present. Mr. Hoffmann's anxiety gave way to crossness. “It’s not right for her to go out of town without saving a won! to you,” he declared, for he was ever a little resentful of his daughter’s neglect of er “I’m going to have a talk with that young lady when she gets back“Now. now, Herman, .shes a grown woman and marriedL Ue can’t boss her like she was a ch’- dMr. Hoffmann clamped his lips together and said nothing more but as thinking that what he »an ed to do to Gwendolyn was to treat her like a child and good old-fashioned spanking. As Howard had said, he was aware of her predilection for wild, company. Two days later he received a letter from her, written en route to Reno. It was a long J?lea for forgiveness and sympathy. She had, she said, been very unhappy with Howard. Not that he was mean to her or anything, but they just didn t understand each other and could nt get along. They’d both tried, for the sake of their parents, but it was too miserable to be endured any longer. They weren’t making anyone happy, ' not even themselves, bhe knew they’d caused everyone a lot oi I worry and what was the sense of i it? It would be so much nicer to be 1 back with her folks —her cw-n darling Mama and Papa. And divorce ' wasn’t a disgrace any more ~ one did it But it was a terrible thing to have to go through it all alone so far away. Andwoaldnthe write her a nice long letter and make her feci better? She needed some money, too. Darling Mama had given her some but it vvasnt enough unless she went without lunches and sodas—-and if you drank sodas you didnt want those na«tv old drinks people were always offering you-and wasn t it .awful . to be all by yourself on a train trying to write such sad news to the dear old Papa you loved so much. Only it wasn’t sad news after you got used to it because it was going to bring so much happiness to all ot them. And maybe Howard would see what a sed thing it was to lose a wife and he’d be a better man for it And she’d be a better woman too, because it made you better to have such sad trouble. On and on and on. And at last, r would he see Howard and get him ' to be nice about it? And please send her some money. Mr. Hoffmann saw Howard, and that young man’s spirit* were sufficiently depressed to convince him that Howard felt keenly his wife s desertion of him. Mr. Hoffmann wanted him to start for Reno at once and bring Gwendolyn home, but Howard finally persuaded him to the belief that if Gwen were making a mis- ’ take it was better to allow her to realize it by herself. “You know how it is, Howard insisted. "If you coax them back they’ll run away again. I know s •hap whose w-ife takes her vacations that way And Gwen’s been threat- - -ning to go for a long time. It may b» iust a thrill sha’s looking for. 1 Let'her alono—if *bo decides she's i

wrong she'll come back to sfay. And that's the only way we ean get anywhere.” "But what if she goes through J with this—gets a divorce!” Mr. Hoffmann exclaimed. “We can be married again,” How- ' ard assured him. “I’ve tried to think ■ it out calmly—it was a shock to me ' —and 1 want to do as Gwen asks — be reasonable about it. You and Dad don’t get our viewpoint—l know 1 that. Dad was wild as a caged tiger. • Divorce is new in our family. I know how he feels, and bow you 1 feel. But Gwen and 1 have to see ■ it through as we believe is best. And it isn’t as though there were . an ugly scandal connected with it. ■ We can ail he friends. Maybe it's I just what Gwen and I need —a sepa- ■ ration. When I first got her letter” • —he meant to imply that this was • how he had been informed of her move—“l felt as you do—that I ought to follow, and beg her to . come back. But I'm afraid she j doesn’t care enough about me to , listen and—well, a man wants to be I sure of his wife’s love, sir. And she ha* a right to find out her own mind. She knows how I feel. Her happiness as well as mine is at j stake. If she loves me she’ll come ‘ back to me.” “H’mp.” Mr. Hoffmann ej’acu- . lated. "You modern young people weigh out your hearts like cheese. \ Seems to me you ought to fight for ' your wife.” “I’m fighting for—love,” Howard ! answered enigmatically. “The two ! are not always synonymous. I mean, I want a wife who loves me.” “Bosh. Live together long enough ’ and you won’t care whether you love each other or not Your wife will be just the same as yourself.” “But in the meantime,” Howard ’ said patiently, “we have to take , things as they are. And if Gwen ; deals me spade* I can’t play hearts.” ; Mr. Hoffmann stared at him : closely. “Well,” he said kindly, ’ “take care of yourself. You’re not ’ looking so good. Come around and ’ take dinner with me and Mama once 1 in a while. She’ll be glad to see you. p Give you some good advice, too. ; And I’ll see that Gwen comes to her ! senses.” , “Thanks.” Howard returned. “I’m ' thinking of closing the cottage and , going to live with Mother and j Dad.” j “That’s fine,” Mr. Hoffmann 1 agreed. "Bad business for a young 1 man to live alone —might get into i trouble.” t “Gwen won’t be worrying about t that,” Howard smiled. i “I know, I know, but no need for s you to be lonesome Looks like you i haven’t slept.” 1 It was true that Howard was - slightly haggard looking. He was e worried about Caroline. She hadn’t ? quite forgiven him for parting from J her in coolness after their drive to r the lake. He hadn't, she felt, any f right to act as he did. They’d had a 1 mad moment and it had ended in a e ridiculous incident. r He had come the next day to ti apologize but Caroline was not e.t o home. She had gone back to work. The rest of the afternoon Howard ~ fought the temptation to go and get n her fired, but he feared the probd able consequences of such nn act. Caroline would resent it, would be d almost certain to see hi* father and s«y something damaging. Better, n he decided, to let her have her way s without opposition If she could be made to feel that he was patient o and sympathetic she would be much g sweeter to him. Certainly she could d not be handled through coercion, f But when she thought she had hurt i- someone who loved her, and wanted o to help her, she became extremely generous and penitent. i- But Howard had inflicted a k deeper wound than he realized. For a several evenings in succession Carols line refused her forgiveness, but in t- time Howard won her to forgetfuly ness. He discovered that her whole r. heart and soul were in the planning ’s of their home, H« brought tier

every piece of literature he coula find that might be helpful to them. Architects’ drawings, books on landscaping, on gardening, lily pools, rock gardens, interior decoration —everything he could think of that dealt with the remodeling and developing of a small country homeCaroline lo«t herself in the magie pages. They spent hours poring over them, making sketches, modeling the rooms with tiny reproductions of old furniture, matching bits of colored cloth for the selection of their curtains and rugs, figuring spaces and disecussing convenience. Caroline loved it, but inwardly Howard felt some slight rebellion over her utter absorption in the subject Occasionally he persuaded her to go out with him to some quiet place for a late supper, or to a movie, but Caroline preferred to stay at home. She had induced her father to spend more time with her, trying desperately to keep him away from the spimkeasies and back rooms where he gambled and drank vilely doctored whiskey. Philip was afraid of the futureafraid of being left alone. In hi* 1 first fully sober moment after , Alva's death, he had faced the fact that Caroline would leave him in time, to go with Howard. He had begun then to fight back to the right to a place in her life, but nt first hi* attempts had ended in miserable i failure. < Caroline was in despair about him, but with only a few months left before she married and must either ask her husband to take a drunken ' sot into his home or leave her father to go his wretched way, she set herself to force Philip to a realization of his prospects. With her help he made a more gallant effort. Her ‘ marriage to Howard no longer met ’ with opposition from him. Gwen's seeking a divorce had changed that. He still did not like Howard but if J Caroline loved him, and Philip be- ! lieved she did, it would be a thou- 1 sand times better for her to be mar- ' ried to him than going on as she i was, he thought. He began to win against his weakness. His lapse* became fewer each succeeding week. His health was shattered, and oftentimes he ' was disagreeable company, but ; Caroline was considerate of him, , and Howard endured him with outward politeness, partly to please Caroline but largely because he felt it was wisest to refrain from ap- < pearing in public with her. To stayin the man’s house made it necessary to cover his antagonism, and besides he was personally desirous of having his future father-in-law 1 saved from the gutter. They managed to have some pleasant times together. Mrs. : Stevenson, resigned to her position, made coffee for them when they did not stay up too late and allowed them to raid the icebox if she had retired, without protesting. t Caroline hoped that Howard would suggest having her father with them at the lake. She had talked to Philip about the thing* he O/uid do there. Interested him. She did not see what eke there was to do. But Howard had not spoken of it. She knew he was too proud, even if he should not love her too much, to allow her father to be a reproach to him. But it would give her such happiness to have him speak of it first that she waited. At Christmas time she was still waiting, but she forgot her disappointment in doing what she could to make the holiday a cheerful one. Alone she wept over it's being the first Christmas not shared in some way with her mother. There had been many when Alva was abroad or in Florida, but always there had been reminders of her love--gifts, messages, letters, flowers. It was heart-breaking to go through a Yuletide without her, but for 1 Philip's sake she tried to hide her grief. (To Be Continued) l>twlrt< W Beta D«ww Orow DWrlbuted by Kitt Vm-v-w lyyidlrut. be.
