Her whole life from now buldbehere. Everything was king here. For Ann Mar lA nice, ladylike name, Ken aid, Lite Damson was en- dead. She would never live IDAY morning, and all of 'armlngton was going to church. Ann had never dressed with such care. Her golden hair was mass ot ringlets beneath her green felt bat. Her fur coat covered a green dress with a bright-hued clip. Everyone would look at her. And she wanted them to. She wanted them to look at her and like her. She smiled at Sally as they walked along past old houses set deep back from the street, and her eyes were eager with anticipation, At the red brick church with the tall steeple, Ann's heart stood still with sudden fright. It would take courage to go inside. As they went In, it seemed she could feel the eyes looking her over, the questions 1& those eyes. Now she was singing, songs she had almost forgotten. The read ings all came back, too. The years of the orphanage were as yester day, and she found herself repeat ing the words without hesitation, without stumbling. "They'll never know I haven't been to church since my wedding day," she thought. "But, then, they would never know that she had been married. She must re member that." Service was over. People were moving down the aisles. People were coming up, speaking and in troducing themselves to her and to Sally. "I'm Ann Marshall," she was saying, "and this is my aunt, Miss Green. We're living in the old Willard house." She spoke to this one and that one. Then Ken was standing before her. The minister was introducing him at the door. "How do you do." She spoke demurely, a smile on her lips, as his hand held hers a moment. "This is my aunt, Miss Green, Mr. Richards." Ann almost laughed at herself. "And my mother, Mrs. Richards Miss Marshall and Miss Green." TIE spoke as if he had never seen her before. She glanced at the woman beside him. She was like the pictures of women she had seen, straight, almost an gular; Ann glimpsed white hair beneath a black turban. Mrs. Richards' eyes were like Ken's, but more alert, more hard. Her mouth was thin. Ann didn't like her mouth exactly. Her voice was soft, and yet beneath it there was a hint of steel. "How do yo udo." She spoke pleasantly enough, but Ann could feel the scrutiny of her glance. Who was this girl? What was she doing here? "We're glad to have you with us this morning." "Thank you." Ann felt frozen. She couldn't think of words." "We're glad to be here." "Are you ttavlns In rt.- ton?" " "I hope to." Ann manaaed tn answer. "It rv hmi. town." "Yes. Wm Ulhnmm nAnnU V. ..... lived here for generations think so." Someone els wan inmtn nltely, she did not like Ken's mother. Ken and his mither moved on and were gone. At last she was outside, walking along beside Sally. "Oh. Knllv" v .M nth. woman! I think I've made' a mis- . take. I'm an miteiriAi .CVi umnl ever like me. If I only had soma ancestors. My Kingdom for an ancestor!" "Manufacture them." "She'd rapnimlv tVim .. wnj ern reproductions. No, I'm scared tn Hon ill VWm-v1v4ct . ..m ..j -I.. " ' JJtJ ULlllVU lU.Ep but she frightens me.

"Sixteen years of practice does a lot, darling. But Ken was so dignified, so remote, not like himself." "Remember, ha had Mama In tow." TT was 2 o'clock when he called. 1 "Hello. Oh, Ken, darling, you've got to come over right away. I'm in a panic. Your mother . . ." Her voice broke. "You can't! Either this afternoon or tonight But you promised. Oh . , ." Sha swallowed a sob and her voice; was a little hard. "Your mother wants you to take her to see some ot the relatives, and you are tak ing her to church again tonight. Sha always insists that you taka her. . . , But what about me? "Yes, I understand. Perfectly. Yes. In Farmington you don't rush things. You wait. . . . Yes, of course I'll be waiting. That's all I nave to do. I may get used to it in time. But I doubt it. "So she thinks I'm pretty. It doesn't matter. I don't care what she thinks about me right now, or you either. I wish I were back in New York with Jerry." She slammed the receiver on his words and turned to Sally. "Life looks lovely In Farmington," she said, with bitter sarcasm. "I'll love it, I wonder how he thinks I'll love sitting by my own fire side while he takes Mama about I wonder . . ."
