There has been a small Item in most of the Indiana newspapers this v«ek, which should have had top billing.

If a man is taking post-grad-uate work gfor the purpose of adding several college degrees, would it be proper for him to mail announcements to his friends after each degree is received? A.

CHAPTER 15 VAL DIDN’T see Dirk again until the following day. The good weather had definitely set in. There was brilliant sunshine and the sea was a clear sparkling blue. She would have liked to take a turn on deck directly after breakfast, not only to enjoy the sunshine and the gentle aea breeze, but to walk the anxiety and emotional confusion she felt out of her system. But Mrs. Featherstone was more than usually exacting that morning. Vai didn’t mention the unpleasant incident on the .floor and she prayed Mrs. Featherstone would never learn of it. But, as though some sixth sense had told the woman something of the Mature of whgt had occurred, she Kept questtoning Vai about the previous evening. Whom had she danced with? How often had she danced with Dirk? And she added angrily, “I hope you didn’t dance with that dreadful man, the ship's doctor.” “I did pnee, and I don’t think him a dreadful man,” Vai answered quietly. Mrs. Featherstone snorted indignantly. “You’re just another silly girl taken in by his vulgar good looks." f “What do you mean by another silly girl, Mrs. Featherstone? Do you mean that your daughter Eileen once liked him very much too?” MYb. Featherstone’s small dark eyes positively glared at her. “Oh, so you’ve been listening to gossip, have you?, Who’s been telling you ail this? That wretched Bruce Harridan?" "I’m sorry if you disapprove of my talking to Doctor Harridan, Mrs. Featherstone," Vai returned quietly. “I know you’re paying my passage in return for my looking after you, but I scarcely think that’ gives you. the right to choose nay friends." “You're insolent, Nurse,” Mrs. Featherstone choked out. “Fve a gdbd mind to wash my hands of -you for good and all.” .Vai managed to smile. “I’m sor>

If we were on shore and you’d » like me to leave you, I wouldi but . 1 can scarcely leave you in midl ocean, can I?” “No,” her patient snapped back i at her, “I can’t force you to do ■ that But I can give you a bad * name once we reach Jamaica. I > have influential friends there—or 1 at least Dirk has,” she amended. "You think Dirk would givd me ’ a bad name, Mrs. Featherstone?” • Vai’s voice trembled slightly, as though tears were threatening. ’ “He would if I told him to. And i when did you start calling him J Dirk?" “He asked me to,” Vai returned ; quietly.* ' - I “Don’t you realize that Mr. Han- ■ son will be Viscount Thelmsford one day ?’’ “Yes, I’ve heard that." i "I suppose you’re setting your [ cap at him? 1 see you’re not only : a silly girl but a vain one. Do you think he’d marry you?” Vai had tried so hard to keep her temper, to be conciliating and sympathetic, but her employer had tried her too far this time. ’ “And why shouldn’t he marry I me if he wanted to, Mrs. Featherstone ?" “So I vias right! You are after i him! But let me warn you. Apart from every other consideration, i Mr. Hanson is not a marrying man. At least,” she amended, “he will : never marry anyone so long as I am alive.” , The thought crossed Vai’s mind that her employer might be intend* Ing to marry Dirk herself, but she put the thought quickly aside. As though the shrewd dark eyes of the other woman had guessed Vai’s thought, she gave a short, hoarse* laugh. “Don’t think that I have any in- ’ tention of marrying Dirk, Nurse. When Mr. Featherstone died I swore I'd never marry another man as long as I lived. But I shouldn’t like Dirk to marry. The dear boy is completely devoted to me and even an older woman needs an escort 1 shouldn’t care to go through

the rest of my life without knowing that there was someone at hand to look after me. I never have liked going about alone and Dirk has always been like a son to me. Besides,” she gave a sour little smile, “he knows which side his bread is buttered on.” “I—l’d like to take a walk on deck, if you don’t mind, Mrs. Featherstone. Have you everything you want ?” Her employer twisted her bulky form angrily on the bed. "Oh, run off, run off, you’re always running off. You were away for hours yesterday afternoon and then all last night" “But you told me I could go to the dance, Mrs. Featherstone,” Vai said quietly. "I know I said I didn’t mind your going upstairs and having a couple of dances, but I must say 1 did expect you to come down and see me later in the evening. As it was, I had to ring for the night steward to get me what I wanted before I tried to go off to sleep. Not that there was much hope of my sleeping, with all that racket going on upstairs! I hadn’t seen the night steward before, and I must say he’s a pleasant young man. Not a regular steward, he told me, just working his way round the world to write a book about it. We had quite a chat.” Her dark eyes narrowed as she repeated it "Quife a chat." Vai wondered if the night steward had told her about the wretched scene which had taken place on the dance floor and if that could account for her employer’s bad temper this morning. Gossip travels like wild fire on a small ship. But she merely said gently, “I’ll be down shortly to see if there’s anything you want,'Mrs. Featherstone.” Vai went up to the top deck, hoping she might be alone there. She felt in no mood to talk to anyone. She wanted to walk fast and try , and sort out in her mind some of the many perplexing problems she was up (To Be Continued).
