PAGE FOUK THE WORLD WITH A FENCE A New Novel by Merian Sims SYNOPSIS: While Carot Tor- rance is spending Christmas with her family, Blake Thornton, her employer las betaken himsely to Florida and his harsh, selfish wife Irma. Carol an. Blake are in love with each other.and Blake hopes he may be able to persuade his neu- rotic wife to divorce him. But Carol is not so hopeful. Blake has gone to a different hotel; he just has made a formal appotntincnt with Irma, and Irma, puzzled, is giving herself a “beauty pack” in prepara- tion, Chapter 49 DESPERATE ATTEMPT HE ing at the flesh of her face— “tightening relaxed muscles,” the folder said. She stepped from the tub and began to towel herself gent- ly; a sharp dried woman in a gro- tesque mask. She surveyed herself when the mask had been removed and decided that she would look very well when she had applied her makeup. She would put it on rather thickly to- night, with only the table lamp lit. And her white chiffon dinner dress with the lavender flowers in it: Blake had seen that, but not on her, and there was no sense in inviting trouble by flaunting the white print. mask had begun to set. pull- Dread filled her He had bee her bills before she left.

You may not like it when I've fin- ished. And then again you may.” . The dread deepened and spread, until it filled her body and her mind. “What on earth do you mean?” He gestured vaguely towards a chair and she sat down. but he stood with his hands rammed into the pockets of his coat and looked at her.

There was no place for pleasan- tries in the interview, and so he went | straight to the point. “Irma. I’ve come to ask divorce me.” Her eyes widened in amazement and she lifted one beautifully kept hand as if to ward off the blow. He stood still and watched the hand flutter back into her lap. “Divorce you? Why?” “Because we don’t care a damn about each other and haven't for ten years. Because I — love someone else.” “Oh.” Her eyes grew narrow and hard. “So you're including me in the indifference just to ease your conscience.” You can’t get mad, he reminded himself harshly; you've got to keep your temper. .. . He sat down, facing her. “Not at all. If you’d cared about me you'd have stayed at home occa- sionally.” She opened her lips to advance her threadbare argument but he said it for her. “I know—your health. That’s a laugh, of course. You’ve worked it to death, and I haven't cared enough to argue with you about it. Women with nerves you to} | { VAN Bae AIAN body and mind. like yours live to be ninety and die of something else.” E was being brutal, but he had to be. He had to arouse her an- ger and her pride, so that she would hate him and be glad to let him go. He hurried on. “1 haven't cared—until recently. But now I've found a girl 1 want to marry. It can’t matter to you, and of course I'll see that you're properly provided for. You can go on living just as you live now, without hav- ing to keep up this farce of being a wife.” She found her voice, but it was thin and cracked. “How can you talk like that about me? Of course I love you; of course I’m not going to divorce you because you've lost your head over some cheap woman!” His hands clenched and then re- laxed slowly. “She’s anything but cheap. She's the most genuine thing I've ever known. And I haven't lost my head; ! fought it every day for weeks, and so did she.” Irma said acidly: “I suppose it’s this—woman—in your office.” She would not say “girl”; the word was too bitter in her mouth. “Yes.” “And. if you'll remember, I told you'it wouldn't do any good to go falling in'love with her.” “I remember. But it would have taken more than a warning from you to stop it.” He said hotly: “I tried to get you to help me before it was too late; begged you not to go away again so soon. When you came back from Rockbrook I'd made all sorts of plans for the winter—trying to es- tablish some sort of permanent rela- tionship with you. His lip curled. “And a hell of a lot of co-operation I got! This didn’t happen until after you left this last time, and now that it has there’s only one thing to do.” “I don’t see why,” Irma said flatly. “There are ways—” He thought then he would surely strike her, but he gripped the arms ; of his chair and managed to sit still. “You poor conceited fool!!” he whispered it beneath his breath.
