But never to marry Staley, “Not even if Pat dies!" she prom- ised herself. “Not cven then would 1 marry Staley Drummond, or any- body else.” It had taken this terrible sickness of Pat's to show her all these things, but she saw them now, & clearly as if she were looking into a mirror.

Go downstairs and heat eome water!” Elizabeth Erts sald to her almost roughly once toward the end of the long night. * And put some baking soda in it, and rush back here with it!" And Lily rushed. She carried it upstairs, but by the time she got there the doctor was outside the room and said that he wouldn't need it. Pat was resting for the time. and he wouldn't have him disturbed for anything. “You can make some coffea for all of us though, if you want to do something,” he asaid in his fussy, kindly way, and she ran back to the kitchen and put the pot on the atove. ‘While it was bolling she went up- stairs to dress .n one of the bunga- low aprons that Florence had let her wear while she was in the house.

She stared at it, speechless . . . “But I told Staley to stop the suit,” she wailed after foun or five min- utes. *I told him to . . . Oh, Flor- ence, 1 don't want to marry BStaley Drummond.

But you want to think things over—You know, you did hate being poor with Pat. You don’t want to forget that.” Lily shook her hcad and tried to remember how full life had seemed in the days of the Derbyshire Road flat and the washing machine and the bills with no money to pay them. “I told Ma you weren't as bad as Sadye Jetterson said you were," sai Florence, after & minute. ‘I told her you were a good woman all along when everybody else sald you were like the Frazier girl down the street. You know the one I mean—the one with bleached hair and all the paint?” Tily did know, She had seen the Frazier girl sweep past the housc in automobiles ¥ith one of her men friends beside her many a time—She remembered her perfectly.

There is a greater tendercy among girls than among boys, 1 nd small goiters develeping when the children are young tend to last longer in girls than in boys.
