t liAt'l Ml AV II Now. in the private room of the , hospital where Mr* Rules lay, Moira decided that if she couldn't get. at least she eould give. She'd eome in daily to cheer up the sick I woman. Wu it coincidence—or wasn't it —that Dr. Rodney Stone usually dropped in at Moira’s visiting hour? He was so kind. Presently the bandage* were removed from the patient's eyes Mrs. Ruies" only worry now was on the questicn of possible disfigurement. ‘‘But the doctor does marvels in plastic soryry. Nurse Emmet told me so. Only I’m sure you won't need anything of the kind." Moira wm far from sure, but tbe main thing was to cheer the patient, who hail come to lean on Moira. Were the girl a few minutes late for the daily reading of the newspapers, the cheerful chat, Mrs. Rules fretted till she appeared. • “ You’d make an admirable nurse,” th* doctor told her. He hail ju«t taken Moira through the children's ward. Her quick sympathy, her tact, her kindness were not lost on him. And uno noon when she was leaving the hospital and he was stepping into his own car, he offered to drive her to her destination, and then suggested that they have a bite of lunch together. She complied. Although it was mid-Deeember, the air that day was almost like Spring. And th* sun shone. She felt happy and protected. Hi* pres- ; enee was magnetic. He handled the car in the heavy traffic with ease and precision. They swung West. Would he take her to one of the fashionable restaurants in the Fifties? Somehow, she hoped not. She wanted quiet--with him. An advancement ot their friendship. It had gqpwji tn mean a lot tn her. Something strong and steadying He was silent aa they drove. He brought the same dexterity to a neat turn of the wheel, the manipulation of the machine, as to the usual run of hie work. She noticed that. The keen eye of the surgeon, the sure hand and nerve. They went swiftly through the Park T hen Riverside Drive. They drew up at an inn below whose windows were the shining water* of the Hudson. Beauty below and. inaidc. peare and quiet. A waiter leal thi-m to a table by the window that was gay with tulip*. Dr. Stone picked up the menu card "H'm! What’ll we have? I suggest brook trout . . . new potatoes .. green peas ” Over th* Spring flow era. Moira ! nodded assent "And hold on a minute ... a halfbottle ot sparkling burgundy wou! I go wail. Yen have some here?'' "t'ertainl-,-, sir." The waiter named a vjitage, disappeared. "It Isn't often." smiled the doctor, "that I have a privilege like this. It nes-ds a little celebration." Moira was thinking: "He looks years younger a rot terribly aUrae tive when he gives that gay smile,” There was something so boyish In his manner —an air of playing truant when ho added: "It's as though one left one's earn in the hospital—" She said: "You work t.-vn hard." "It has tn be done But don't let’s talk of work - sickneoa- operations Lot’s Ulk shoot yew. Miso Moire.' She flushed. "I'm terribly humdrum " But she wss thrilled Thstsman ss important aa the doctor eould be interested but it was oely politeness. of course "I think you’re a particular,y nice girl." It was spoken in no idle vein. His voice woe quiet and sincere, She stammered "Thanh you I'm pleased, naturally.

And all I do is land In a beauty parlor. From the sub lime to the ridiculous! Don’t I sound silly?" "It never occurtcd to you that if I mend broken bodies, you do a like job on the soul? That were both doctors?" She looked amazed. What had souls to do with beautypariors? Was he referring to her visits to the hospital? The cheering up of hi* patient? “Bringing beauty to tired or disappointed womrn is a mission. Yvu never thought of that?” "Most men in your position would think it was mere entering to their vanity. That it was frivolous work ” "There spoke some of the New England forebears!” He laughed “That’s the Puritan strain! This i< a newer world.'' "You mean- -if 1 bring beauty to woreen I bolster up their ego " —And fortify them for the battls that Jiving is today. Knowing, that she looks well is a real spiri: isl, tonic to a woman Any psychiatrist I would agree to that," "So.'' said Mohs. "out of your bigheart<-dnes» you glorify my tnenial job into something nee. -ary and fine?" And she smiled. A vision i of Devemey's Beauty Parlor rose ' before her. Had he any idea how the customers gossiped to the opera tors? What intimate revelations were given? "I wonder," she said, "if your pa Uents ever tell you the th.ngs they confide in us girl*?" He laughM outright “That con firms me in my contention tha: you're a doctor of souls!" The waiter brought the fo.*l anil trine. He drew the cork. Poured i the sparkling burgundy into two giaaoes. The doctor said: "A toait!'' Her heart rose. "The mender of bodies drinks t<the little mender of soul*. May she go on cheering up the doctor, and may she count on his true friend ship!” Moirs wan worried about Tarry Was he drifting away from h. r? ■ Was "he to lose him. after cherishing the image of him all th*-, years? The fact that, miraculously, hr had got and retained a job on Wall Street, these dreadfully competitive > days, had earned her through many I a trying hour at the beauty *h< r and eased her disappointment in ' her own failure to achieve nom. thing with a future in it. She tolil herself that all the future sh. wanted was woven round Tarry now. But —did Tarry really need her* He had told her that he loved her “Take care of yourself, darling You're very precious to mv." He would end their telephone eon venations with sxsursace* likei that. Sweet words that thrilled her ] Sha would go ever and over them, in secret. Ilk* the beads on a rosary “47et to bed early, Moira. I'm busy. Lm working It won't slways be Ilka this, darling. One day 111 have you for keeps. You know that." Not in so many words had he asked her to marry him now. But, sbe told herself, that sprang from his innate delicacy. When he had the means to support her, he would declare himself, as the old- ’ fashioned saying goes. Not for him the modern fifty-fifty working mar At other and depressins time* •be would tell herself tint huas.'ir anees esme too *srily. Trite.
