And so when Marian saw Gloria's long shining car stop and Gloria in matchless afternoon ensemble mournfully approach the entrance of | the apartment house Marian put on Ter hat, picked up bag and gloves and | left her room.

And yet that was what Gloria said he was. Because he was Interested in his profession to the exclusion for perhaps seven hours a | day of his wife, She complained that he “dreamed” at home about some big, old building, sat and looked for half an hour at a time at a sketch of the Ca- thedral of St. John the Divine and all the while seemed unaware of the exist- ence of his wife. It- was unbearable. Her marriage was a farce. She was devoted to Philip. Why shouldn’t he be devoted to her? Her home was every thing to her. Why shouldn't it be im portant to him?

Tl drop you on my way home,” languidlv breathed Gloria. “Point one!” triumphed Marian with- in_herself. With beautiful indifferent precision Gloria drew her car up before the #chool. “Come on in just a minute, Gloria," the outwardly composed Marian in- vited. “T'll just stay a minute—maybe —to keep my promise, you know, nndi then vou can take me away and we can talk.” “Well. I don't care. I don't care what I do. I can't—can't forget no matter where I am——" When she had Gloria actually inside | the school Marian whispered: “Point | two!” Gloria doing something else than tea-ing and shopping! She saved the kindergarten room until the last—astute Marian. Why not the fifth grade first, since they were | close by it? She knocked on a door. A boy of 10, in overalis. with serious fine brown eyes, ushered them into & | pleasant room with luxuriant green plants filling its —indows and drawings, ically unhappy woman—and she had been married just two years. “She needs a job." was Marian's diagnosis. When Marian whispered a suggestion that they visit some other room, Gloria |didn't want to leave the fifth grade! | Well, compromised Marian, perhaps | they could come back here later. Only | then would Gloria consent to see the second grade in action. There. however, | the method of teaching reading inter- lested her, and with amazed eves Ma- |rian watched her walk between the aisles carefully so she might not bump the tense elbows of little arms busy | with making pictures of the reading lesson. | "And then the kindergarten! Gloria | whispered while they were watching teacner. | The Community Club met in the as- | sembly room. All the women of Bryn Athyn knew the beautiful Mrs. Philip Denning. They stared with respectful eves when Marian led her in. It was the day for the election of officers, and Marian had some women to see before the chairman should call the meeting {to order. Did they say that capable Mrs. Snowden couldn't take the presi- dency because she was moving to Flor- ida? Wasn't that too bad! It was to be noped they could get somebody as interested and efficient in her place. Did they know how interested Mrs. | Denning was in school and what a natural leader she was? And she whis- pered to a very. very good friend that if she wanted to nominate Mrs. Philip Denning for president, she, Marian, would second the nomination. Then she sat demurely down beside Gloria. But she got up presently and said she be- lieved entirely too much money was be- |the dismissal of the kindergarten that | she would love to be a kindergarten | 'THEv EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. D.

And Mrs. Denning was elected president of the Bryn Athyn Community Club. And she accepted the honor with a perfect- ly lovely little speech. “Why, Gloria,” when they were in the car at 5:30. | “don’t vou usually go for Philip at | about this time?™ “Philip?” questioned Gloria, vaguely. “Oh, I suppose we might as well pick him up if he’s ready.” | Animatedly discussing the schools of | Bryn Athyn with Marian Farnsworth. | | Mrs. Philip Denning was scarcely aware of the appearance of her distinguished | |architect husband beside the car door. With a nod she relegated him to a |back seat and continued to converse upon her important affairs.
