She had found in those solitary expedi- tions some things she had always wanted, peace to straighten out her tangled ideas and to know herself and believe Daphne Sumers. “She'd only say that I'd made it all up” she thought despairingly. “Anyway, can it be right to tell tales? | 1s it ever right to do wrong?” &~ impossible to know!

You haven't seen her, then?” “No." “Oh, we settled everything at lunch!” Robert was pleased to be able to break the news himself, he had rather & childish love of being the first, and he did not notice Alison’s expression For over,” he went on cheerfully, “and we both feel that there's no real reason why we should wait a whole six weeks to get married. I was waiting be- cause your aunt wouldn't be back from Indla to look after you, but Daphne says that she would much rather that you came with us.” “On your honeymoon?” All Ali- son's anxious thoughts were scattered by this bombshell. She stared at her father blankly. “Yes.” He laughed rather shyly. “We're not a young couple, my dear, to be romantic about that. She says you'd enjoy it. Daphne thinks it'd be great fun having you with her while I'm playing with my botanical collection. You see, we've decided to g0 to Spain now, the Southern Pyre- nees, instead of Madeira, and youd love that.” “I think I'd feel horribly in the way.” Alison could not keep the sheer dismay out of her voice. “Nonsense! How oould you be the way? ~We both want you.” He patted her shoulder. “Father, please—honestly, I'd rather not!” It came out with a rush. “I'd much rather stay in the house alone, if Aunt Emily isn't back in time!” “I thought you'd be pleased.” Rob- ert looked upset and very burt. “T+I think it's sweet of you both to want me.” She got that out with an effort. “We do.want you. Surely that’s enough?” "There was a note of an- noyance in his voice now. “But I'd rather stay here” In her despalr, Alison plunged. “I—I want to talk to you about that. You see, I've been thinking things out, and I think I want to take up some work.” “Work? What on earth for? My dear child, don't be so silly!” He was quite heated. ““There’s no earthly reason to work. You know perfectly well what I think of all this modern nonsense about girls earning their own living!” “I don’t want to earn my living.” Alison strove to be patient. “I just want something to do.” His annoyance faded suddenly into laughter. “Something to do. You'll have plenty. Why, Daphne’s planning to give a dance to bring you out as soon as we get back, and you’ll be much too busy playing round and amusing yourself to worry about work.” “But I don't want to dance and amuse myself.” “Don't want to come out and be presented? What rubbish! You'll love it. All girls do. Dancing and spending money and having new frocks and stuff—what a little goose you are!” ‘Was there no way of making him understand? thought Alison helplessly. A few months ago he would have listened to her views, have .taken them seriously, but now Daphne had taught him to think of his daughter s & child still, to be treated as a fool! She made one last desperate plea. “Let me try it—just for a Mttle while, anyway. The three weeks you're away and see—" “See what?” His anger burst sud- denly. “My dear, you're being very stupid! It's.not like you. All this nonsense about work! Daphne and I want you to come with us, and that's enough. It's extraordinarily sweet of her to want you, and I don't think you're behaving any too well. I'm afraid it's simply that you're Jealous. and I hate to think that!” His anger died as it always did, T00 MUCH ACID MAY BE AILS YOU Cause Indigestion, DATING Permits this NEW Pacl(age. ffects a SAVING which we pass Chase & Sanborn’s Coffee is a choice blend of the world’s costliest and finest coffees.
