You seem to forget that you’re my wife.” She raised an arm to cover her eyes and burst into sobbing. “You can’t understand.” He longéd to display tenderness; but he’d done that so consistently and he'd always lost the argument. Strolling to the window, he ad- dressed her across his shoulder. “I understand too well. You'd exhaust the patience of a saint, Santa.” “Cruel and revengeful.” She spoke » brokenly.

The author is an English- woman, a devotee of sports and outdoor life, Barbara Quentin was under n® delusions regarding the man she intended to marry. She knew Mark Lodely was cruel and unap- preciative, that Mrs. Mark Lodely would be an extremely unhappy girl. :But Barbara had promised, just before Mark’s father died by his own hand, that she would look| after him. Only an extraordinary’ girl would consider it binding, but Barbara did. ; That is the situation around which Julia Cleft-Addams has writ- ten a delightful new sgrial, ““Buy- ing Barbara,” which will appear in The Citizen beginning today. Barbara was prepared to go through with her promise within a few days after Farrell Armitage saw her—and decided he would solve what was obviously a hope- situation. He recognized his Ith would: make it no easier for’ him to convince | Barbara Along In “Buying Barbara” © ee shouldn’t marry Mark ard pick Farrell instead. 4 Farrell. chose’ a plan ‘that was daring as it was unique. He would use his money to make Mark Lode- ly a better artist, establish him in a lucrative profession, obtain medi- cal aid to heal his crippled body— and thereby win a bride. The principals in this mad con- test were linked together by a curious set of circumstances, the events of a generation before that added new elements of drama: to a situation charged with potential disaster.
