Dicky had left me sitting on a log while he wandered up the stream. In the first months of my marriage with Dicky I would have hotly re- sented his discourtesy and later shed humiliated tears over my outburst in | the privacy of my own room. But | the many tragic experiences 1 had | shared with Dicky, and Lillian Under- | wood's sane, kindly example and ad- e D 4 vice had given me poise-to meet these “What was that?’ Dicky turned|annoving incidents with humorous quickly, startled not only by mY eX- | glerance, clamation, but by the crashing of the!

Luxury had plainly shown her that such a life held no charm for her—as a permanence. “What is your dearest wish for the ' future?” she musingly asked her ho- tel-made acquaintance, Dorothea Crafton, as they lounged in the sun parlor. Mrs. Crafton put down her magazine (it w: one of those 25- cent ones that are supposed to circu- | late among the very best people) and lifted up her handsome s “Dear me!
