Vai is earning her passage by caring for Mrs. Featherstone, an invalid by imaginary ills. Dirk is overly attantive to Mrs. Featherstone, hoping to bo considered In her will. Eileen s earlier romance had been broken up by her mother, and her lover later becomes passengers—Bruce Harridan—and he is now in the uniform of the ship s surgeon Vai learns that they will both be working at the same new hospital near Montego Bay after the voyage. She also learns that Dr. Harridan was Eileen s low and that he had threatened to kill Mrs. Featherstone at the time she wrecked their romance. Dirk and Vai Dr. Harridan tells Vai that he tnraatened Mrs. Feathertsone in a fit of rage, and would now like to apologize to her. Vai becomesstrongly attracted to Dr. Harridan.

I Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE Q I served some homemade apple pie and coffee after bridge one evening, and one of my women Quests ate only the apple In the pie, leaving the crust Don’t yon think this was rude of her? A. Not at all. She may have had some perfectly good reason for refusing the criist, such as being on a diet. Q. When Is the proper time to send a wedding gift, and to whom is It sent if the bride is a stranger? A. As soon as the wedding invitation is 'received, and it should always be sent to the bride, even though you know only the bridegroom. Q. Is It always necessary to say, “You’re welcome” in response to “Thank you"? A. Some response should be made, and “You’re welcome” is just about the best I can think of.

That she was rich didn’t help her; intfbet, it made her lonelier than ever, and suspicious of everyone who tried to be nice to her." •‘But she isn't suspicious of you?” she asked m the pause. “1 thought Td explain," he said tn a suddenly tired voice. “But you want to suspect the worst of my affection tor Aunt May as everybody does.” riJ ”But all this has nothing to do with me!” It was as though the words were torn from her. •‘Oddly, it has,” he said quietly. “You see for some foolish reason I don’t want you to think badly of me.” She looked up at him and her heartbeat seemed to quicken, “Wrtat db you want me tb think F* she asked slowly." “I want you to think of happiness,” he said surprisingly. “Happiness?” He nodded. "Happiness.” He repeated it .T haven’t been very happy in my life. 1 spent most of my time at Hartnell Wood Grange. Eileen and 1 were good friends, but that was all.” “You didn’t love Eileen Featherstone?” “No,” he said. “I didn’t love her." “But you became engaged to her?” “Yes,” he agreed. “Aunt May was genuinely ill at that time. I thought it might help her to get better.” "You mean you only got engaged to Eileen because of your—affection for her mother?" she asked incredulously. "Oh no," he said. "It was for Eileen’s sake as well.” “I’m afraid 1 don’t understand," she said at last j He smiled slightly. “Don’t try to. It’s pretty difficult to understand.” "You mentioned happiness,” she said after a pause. “You believe you’re giving Mrs. Featherstone happiness now?” "Os course.” His voice was easy and agreeable once more. “That’s what I’ve been trying to do since Eileen died. Giving the old girl even a semblance of happiness.” "I think you've succeeded pretty well.” Her voice was dry.

They won’t say I’ve brought rabdU out of Sis top hat, ‘ but a fortune.” "You know Mrs. Featherstone is going to leave you her money when she dies?” she asked In a shaken, breathless voice. He shrugged his thin shoulders. ! “Why not?" But 1 hope she'll live many years to enjoy her life before , that happens.
