She sat up in bed and looked around her room . . . the familiar room with its wide window seal, its flowered cushions, and silver pic ture frames. Tomorrow morning slic’d wak ing up in the shabby little bedroom in her father’s shabby little house. Shuddering, Gloria thought of it . . the brown spot on the ceiling wbei the rain had leaked through tin: roof, the blistered woodwork, t! ■ battered iron hod. How she'had always hated that little room that was too cold in (he winter, too hot. in the summer! And how utterly glad she had been to escape from it, when she had nar ried Dick Gregory ! A tear slid down Gloria's cheek as she thought of all the mornings of her future . . . the lonely awaken ings in that little room. 9- * * She Jay with closed eyes and heard Dick stirring in his room, whistling in his bath, singing “Rock ed in the Cradle of the Deep” as he dressed.

What in the world did Day want, coming at that time of the morning? “Hello, Glory, how':' every little thing with you?” she asked, as be came into the ball. Her face wa white as paper under her black crepe hat, and there were _t’aint mauve marks, under her eyes. “Fine as silk,” Gloria anew rod. •borrowing the brave phrase that her ' father used when things were at their very worst. “And you . . . How are you, May?” May tried to answer. Then, sud denly, she collapsed upon a chair, buriedTher face in her hands, and burst into horrible, shaking sobs.

Gloria unfolded the little clip ping, curiouUy. “Mr. and Mrs. 'Rodney Millbrook of Lee street annc.unce the engage-1 ment of their daughter^Fargot, tel Mr. Jnfnes Neale Care Jag formerly! of Boston. The wedding will be an event of lute October,” it read. “Jim ('a re we engaged!” Gloria cried aloud. “Why, did you ever hear of such a thing! And who's the girl, for goodness sake?” May looked up at her with wet, red-rimmed eyes. “She's a. little cousion of Myr.i Gaii’s,” she said.’ “A young thing just graduated from school this month. She ean't be more than twenty . . . and Jim's thirty-six, if he’s a minute! Talk about cradle robb'ng. . . ” Gloria shook (nr le ad slowly. “But May,” she said, “You never i oared a snap of your finger about Jim. I’ve heard you say so a hun dred lime:', it was always Jim who was wild about you.” “I know it,” May answered, “But Jim's like all men. He want ;to be respectable. He'd never marry me in a million yars since th'.; . . . this scandal about John’s . . . sui cide’.’ She pressed her 'handkerchief hard attain. I her lips for a moment. Then she went on bravely: “This ;.iil can give Jim just what he wants. Ret |'ei labilit y, a houseful of friends, youth . . . everything clean and new and h'ning. Perhaps he still does c.".io for mo, but he’s not going to ir.irry a scandal! He's too seifs h to do a thing like that! Ho ti'ink. too much of himself.” . She took off her black hat and I tossed it down on the hall laijle. “You haven’t any coffee on the slave, have you?” Y.he asked. “1 haven't bad any breakfast.” 1 haven’t had any, either,” Gloria answered. “Come out into the kitch en. I won’t promise to cook any- > thing for you. But Dick left some ! coffee on the stove, and there’s jelly and rolls.” ♦ ♦ * She stopped and looked hard at May I'cr a minute. “Well,” she said. '! guess we’re both out of lucjc, my dear. I'm leaving Dick this morn ing. We’ve agreed to disagree. And I’m going back home to my ! people.” They stood there looking at caeh other with empty eyes. Neither had . a word to say. If. flashed through Gloria’s mind that, they were like moths dancing around a light. They had flown too close to danger -and had had their wings singed and broken. . . . Hut Stanley Wayburn and Jim Ca rewe were safe enough! One mar ried, the other engaged to be mar ried! They had escaped. Men al ways did. It was the woman who took ail the slurs, the snubs, and the pain. The man went scot-free from one love affair to another. . . . “Gloria,” May said suddenly. “Let’s get out of this town!

The time I went to New York. And 1 almost died from homesickness. I ... I wanted Dick.” May stared at her. “Well, you poor little fish, why are you leaving him. then?” she asked, “if you care anything about him?” “It’s Dick who wants me to go,” Gloria answered. “He . . . he’s through with me.” “Oh, you’re crazy,” .May answer ed. “You might tell that to some people, and get away with it! But I I know Dick Gregory . . . and he's in ■ love with you, and always has been!’ After May had gone, Gloria thought over what she had said. i Was it possible that Dick still loved I her? . . . No, May was wrong. Dick couldn’t love her any more, or he wouldn’t let her go this way, would he? All morning as she made the bed and washed the dishes, Gloria listened tensely for the phone to ring. . . .There was just a bare < banco that. Dick would call her from the office to ask'her not to go tv. ay from him. . . But no, Su an Briggs war nt the offi<c.. And Dick was com phtcly under her sway. .He wa probably not even thinking about ds wife at home. His wife, packin;;' her trunks to leave his house, for ever ! Hadn’t Dick said that. Miss Briggs was the one person in the world who him sympathy and understand in?? A man didn’t talk that way about a woman unles: he was in love with her, Gloria told herself de jectedly. She locked her trunks, and pres ently the expressman came for them. There was nothing more to do . . . no excuse for staying. And still Gloria lingered in the house that had been the House of Dream.- for her and Dick. . . . House of Dreams? . . . Heart break House was more like it! Gloria laid the key to the front door down off the hall table, where Dick would be sure to find it. She picked up her little handbag, and went out. The door closed behind her. It closed on a chapter of het life. . . . ♦ * * The Sunday after re turn t oher father’s house, Aunt Dorcas came to dinner. She brought Uncle Henry along with her ... a small, silent man. He had been married to Aunt Dorcas for twenty four years. And he showed it. “1 told you that Glory had left her husband, didn’t I, Henry?” Aunt Dorcas aske’cl between bites of toast beef and Yorkshire pudding. Uncle Henry made a tired sound in his throat. “And a very good thing it was, too,” Aunt Dorcas went on. “A very good thing!” Gloria raised her eyes to her aunt’s large, florid face. “Why is it a good thing for a woman to leave her husband?” she asked. “That’s not what I said,” Aunt Dorcas answered, sharply. “But in your case it was. When a girl . . . a poor girl . . . marries the son of rich parents, and they treat her as the Gregorys treated you, the best thing she can do is to clear out!” Gloria looked down at her plate. “They’ve been very nice to me . .

And Mother Gregory gave us the family silver for a wedding- present.” Aunt Dorcas raised one hand like a traffic policeman. “A-aah!” she cried, “but that was for their son! . . . What did they ever do for you.’ . . . Did old Mrs. Gregory ever give a party to introduce you to all their high-and-mighty friend ? Not she! She left you right out in the cold, as far as I can see!” Aunt Dorcas folded her hands on her magnificent chest, and looked around, daring- anyone to deny what she had said. No one did. The meal came to an end at last. Gloria followed her father and Uncle Henry out on to the front porch, leaving her mother and aunt to clear away the dishes. There were times when she couldn't stand Aiuft Dorcas in large doses. . . Today was one of them.
