But oren while her heart ached for them all—for Bert who'd miaard hia ehanee, for Blanche who didn't know ahe’d misted hers, and fnr Claudine who never had any chanees, Linda couldn’t resist showing off. She thought they'd be impressed at her new worldlinesa. her talk of theater and musie and books. “I'm glad you have sueh nice tlmea," Blanche said. “A group of the girls and I do, too. We meet every other Tuesday evening for bridge, and a few refreshments. And I always keep up with the radio, and the movies. I think a person should keep up. don't you?" "Oh yesl" Claudine cried. “1 do! Though It is hard, when you're busy ' •My goodness, between the P. T. A. and the Ladies’ Autiliary, I just run, run, run all the time We're having a New Year's pie and cake sale Thursday, and Monday we had our Christmas party. The children were all in it, and Sue spoke a piw* all alone. Bay It for Aunt Linda, honey—' Sue elung to Blanche's skirt, peeked out shyly. "I don't wanta "Oh Bae, dear! It’s such a pretty piece. Say it for Aunt Linda You know it!—Twas the NIGIJT before CH RIST mas, and ALL through the house—Oh eome on Sue! Don't be silly! I don't know why she acts this •ray today, she wasn’t the least bit shy Monday!” "Never mind." Linda said. "I know she was good." She kept looking at the clock, wanting to leave. She was tired, and bored, and in coma unaccountable way, ashamed of herself. The urea ante she had brought and thought so generous, aeenwd as nothing now. She was so sorry for Claudine—and angry at herself for being sorry Claudine didn't have to look such a •reck! She could go to a elinic If she couldn't afford a dentist, and get her teeth lived. Bho eould at least powder her nose, and not eome to the table with litle beads of perspira tton on her forehead and upper lip. Other women kept themselves up, •nd if she eould afford fancy dresses for the kids she euu!4 afford something decent for herself I But ahecouldn't argue herself out of ths feeling that persisted. •■! when she was back in Bianchi’s apartment, it followed her still.

I said, you eant eut down on supervisors, Doctor, without endangering the hospital. I said—" "Yes," said Linda, squirming She couldn't get away quick enough, yet ahe couldn’t go without seeing the old house. B'smhe arranged for one of her girt friends, a Miss Merton, al! tooth and eyeglasses, to drive them out in her car. "You see,” Blanche said, when 'hey stopped In front of the house. ‘ there isn't so much to see." Linda looked, rich a’ heart. The privet hedge wae practically gone, and ths house was pitilessly evposed to the road "Tourist Home. Rates Reason able," the sign said.

never taken place. The same gray boards, the same worn, sagging steps. A torn shade in the front room upstairs. A child's velocipede on the porch. The little winter pear tree gone, the driveway that someone had strewn with cinder:, weeping black tears on the icy coping. “We could go in if you like, dear, but I really think—" “.No, you were right, Blanche. There's nothing to see. It was eraty to come.” “It WAS a long drive, for just that.” the girl friend said, starting the engine again. “We’ll stop and have some nice hot tea, somewhere,” Blanche «ugge*ted brightly. ’’Tea?’’ The girl friend squinted in Linda's direction. Blanche's color rose. “Weil—we could get a Tom and Jerry at Dink's place,” Blanche agreed reluctantly. “Gracious, I should hope so! I.indj isn't such a baby! You've been in '-peaks' haven't you’ I.n mg in New York? Os course she has. Perry I” "Whatever you say," Linda said. If they thought they «<ie b ing devilish, and could g"t any fun out of going to a speak-easy, a coup'e of middle aged old girls, without any man tn take them, then she wouldn't spoil their fun. And over her drink she said. ’’! really ought to Dave toa.ght, not too late. Blanche. I've got to get to work in the morning.” She didn't. Mr 'Hettinger han given her three days. But she’d had enough, and probably they'd had enough of her. e Later she told Blanche, “!'|| send 110 a month. I can't live on than 1100 unless I move toa cheaper place or make more money Will that he enough to help” “Why Linda! That's wonderful, dear! I hadn’t dreamed- you're •*» young—to send that much—" “That's all right. It isn’t much. 111 send more later, for I ought to ba getting a raise soon.” But still she didn't feel right about it, still •he couldn't feel that she was doing enough. • Rhe gave her sister a hard, quick peck on the cheek, and ran. g'»d the train was in. glad she enuld get •way without saying too much, without crying. Relflsh to be so wrap, up in h»r own affairs, to be so glad to be back In her own comfortable little room, safely away from Claudine and her babies, and Blanche with her hospital talk, and Bert wh'-se shoulders sagged -but Linda couldn't help It. She WAS glad to lie away from them, just as she had been glad to see them at first. At first, every small Itisury she bought for herself worried her. A new pair of silk stockings, and she remembered Claudine's clumsily mended runs. A bargain silk nightm for herself, and she thought of Blanche's eheap rayons I ought to send more than *!<>. she’d think guiltily. . . Well, the way to do that was to make more money Mr. Bottinger, kind and fatherly, was surprised that she should ask. He pointed out that It 10 a month was a very decent salary, that the work was not too heavy, and the surroundings pleasant. “I thought you were very satisfied.” he said, disturbed. ■Oh. I am," she assured him. "I really am!” But she wasn’t. Other girls, in other offices--a few in her own. got more. (To be continued) csrmsM. last. s» •»• •>•<«•■ i.sSjsis i«s
