“Not tonight. I won't let you.”
“I can’t stay here.”
“Yes, you can. Let us talk things
over quietly—decide what is best
to be done.”

bed so close to her, knowing—-
His mother? What explanation
could he offer? . It would have
to be a hotel! He reached for the
knob of the door behind her back.
But she had read his wavering
of a second. “The other room,
Hugh—the guest room! You can
sleep there!”
Sleep? She thought he could
sleep? At length he gave an un-
willing gesture of assent. Dorrie
hurried in to turn on the lights, re-
move the silken coverlid. She hat-
ed the idea of change, he thought;
wanted to go on without definitely
facing the issue. Something would
have to be done. What—he did not
know. Perhaps the morrow would
bring some clarity.
Dorrie turned at the door before
leaving. ‘‘Does Joan know?"
He nodded.
“She does?" She bit her
“Then I suppose she told you.”
He did not answer.
She said with a curious venom,
“I'm sure she did—and it was pret.
ty mean of her, when she knew
how it would hurt you!"
Hugh stared at her.
Her door closed.
The darkness folded
round, an aching evil darkness. An
fron band tightened around Hugh's
skull, and his mouth seemed filled
with the taste of brass. The sec-
ond time that night, that taste. Odd
thing. He had never had it before!
. His heart pounded until his
chest ached, and his nerves were
as tense as fiddle strings
Over and over the scenes, the
words repeated themselves—Joan

They would not let him alone. And
each time the act was played, he
became aware of sinister implica-
tions, ghastly ogre faces that
leered and mocked at him, sug-
gested details, whispered: “Don’t

Joan had said ‘‘they don't care
any more.” Then she meant that
fool in the snickering fable, was the
last to learn what was going on
under his own roof.
Then like an imperious flood it
ing mingled in its waves, his de-
sire for this woman who had be-
trayed him, for the sweet, dear
flesh which had seemed so inalien-
ably his own. He despised him-
At length the chattering of rob-
ins and sparrows, the crescendo
and diminuendo of passing cars,
the sound of the maid going out
no matter how calamitous, he must
take up the burden of the day.
Dorrie had loved Hugh when she
married him, but she had never
been in love with him. He offered
a mode of life much pleasanter and
more dignified than her wander-
ings with her mother before she
met Hugh.
Her marriage pleased her at
first. She rejoiced in the back-
ground of the Marsh family in Cor-
inth, faintly boasted of it in let-
ters to friends, liked the novelty of
having a home of her own and an
indulgent husband who could not
do enough for her. Later when she
became bored with the convention-
alities of Corinth, which was so
much like the Harrisville of her
youth, she sternly told herself she
was lucky-—lucky; that Hugh was
far too good for her.
Fluvanna puzzled her at first. She
was not the traditional mother-in-
law. Could anyone so generous, so
wisely kind, so free from envy or
criticism exist? She suspected a
pose at first, but came to recog-
nize that the circumstances of Flu-
vanna's life had left her beautiful-
ly self-contained, instead of bitter
and broken. Dorrie, who had ex-
pected to patronize or be patron-
ized, looked up to her, wanted her
approval, praise, and did little un-
expected kindnesses now and then
to deserve it.
When she met the Whi , she
had found in them a congenial cou-
ple for bridge, conversation, or an
J lever; Cun
talk of books or plays or musle,
and swept away the idea of their
having significance for anyone else
with a magnificent ridicule. This
amused her, for she knew it came
from his naive desire to have the
world he knew-that of virility,
of smart achievements in sales-
manship, of golf, of success in a
material way—supreme before the
world of the intellect.
Cun was always decorous in his
manner toward her, but secretly
she recognized a quality that
moved her. “You're my own
kind!” Coul had said to her rough-
ly the last time she saw him.
“You can't get away from it for
all your airs! You understand me
—because you're like me!” He had
seized and kissed her until she
pushed him away, filled with loath-
ing and fascination.
One December day Cun had
dropped by with a silver tray which
Joan had borrowed, and lingered
to talk by the crackling fire. Out-
side, it was a gloomy, menacing
day, and it had seemed magically
warm and cosy in the dim room.
The talk slipped into easy rhythm
and laughter, harmless talk of cars
and hunting trips, and the merits
of various bridge systems. Then a
silence fell and something fluid and
stealing passed between them. She
looked at him and he was smiling
at her. She recognized the light

“Wasn't it? I'm that way-—nice,”
she said carelessly.
He kissed her. It was not the
hasty self-conscious kiss of a bump-
kin, yielding to a furtive desire,
but a deftly siow meeting of his
lips with hers.
They had both laughed with soft
understanding and self-excuse—a
kiss?—what was a kiss between
friends? She rebuked herself aft-
erward for her response. But she
found herself looking forward to
the next meeting with a reluctant
excitement.

Washington.—The Capital city has
returned to normalcy. It is not the
normalcy of Janu-

normalcy of the year in which that
quadrennial spectacle, an inaugu-

scores have come into being under
the Roosevelt New Deal, there is in-

these various units make plans,

ernmental activities of the govern-
ment — there is still another nor-
malcy in Washington. It is the so-
cial side. Of course, all Washing-
ton society springs and has its being
in White House reflection. From
the great mansion at 1600 Pennsyl-
vania avenue, there radiates every
kind and condition of a social en-
gagement. Outstanding among
these obviously after the inaugura-
tion of a President is the Chief Ex-
ecutive's dinner to his cabinet. A
reception to the Supreme Court of
the United States and the other
members of the judiciary follows.
In rapid order come receptions to
the legislators, to the army, navy
and marine corps, to the foreign
diplomats resident here and all of
these are interspersed with smaller
official dinners in the great state
dining room at the White House.
In “various sections of the city
and in the hotels dinners, receptions,
cocktail parties continue in cease-
less chains. And if the brutal state-
ment must be made, the truth is
that nearly every one of them has a
purpose above and beyond personal
enjoyment, but the selfish interest
is quite frequently so deeply con-
cealed that those who are being
“cultivated’’ may not realize what
the objective is.

Under the whip of competition

was impossible, they have turned
to younger workers so that the in-
crease in protection per worker, ac-
cording to the best calculations, is
the employment of people able to
go at high speed throughout the
working period.
This development has been in
progress in the manufacturing in-
dustries for at least 20 years but it

per cent of all gainfully employed
workers were in the basic indus

years ago, 60 per cent were in the
basic industries and 40 per cent in
the professions and service indus-
tries while at the beginning of 18386,
about 57 per cent were in basic
industries and the professions and

enormous transformation has been
taking place in the type of work that
people do. It represents, of course,
