When the man was grabbed and
searched, the brooch was found in
his pocket, and so, on top of a
smoked-ham supper and square
dance, there was a running-out-of

And all in all. it was easily the
most successful social in a long

Is w an tin g to show o ff neurotic?
Answer: No more so than any
other natural Instinct—but your
way of trying to gratify it may be.
Everyone instinctively wants ad
m iration and approval, and ac
cordingly the desire to show off
is universal even though in many
people it has been so sternly re
pressed that they are not con
scious of it. But to give way to the
desire is neurotic when you don’t
consider whether what you have
to display — whether it is beauty,
wit, or talent—w ill be pleasing to

Answer: Not if he adheres to
the strict psychoanalytic tech
nique. For the object of this tech
nique is not to remodel you ac
cording to somebody else's pattern
but to help you find out what you
are and make up your own mind
what you want to do about it. A
person who told you that you
should—or should not—get a d i
vorce. for example, would be un
true to the psychoanalytic meth
od. By the time that you have rec
ognized the unconscious reasons
why you've been unhappy in your
marriage you'll know what you
want and ask advice from no one.

W ill’s wife got a gold brooch set
w ith eight diamonds, three of
them genuine. Needless to say, she
wore the brooch to the smoked-

needless to recount, it got more
attention than a team-of-four with
their tails trim m ed.
Everything went smooth as mo

the middle of a "su ing your part

And when they brought her

hot days in the sun, long lonely
evenings. Even the thought of a
farm had made her shudder.
She wondered about Phil.
He
claimed to be a law firm member
on vacation. It occurred to her that
for a lawyer he was m ighty skillful
handling pruning clippers. And his
knowledge of farm ing was pro
found.
SECOND DAY of their
T HE vacation
they knocked off
early and went for a swim.
The th ird day they played ten
nis. The fourth Aunt Bertha
parked them a lunch and they
drove to Mount Carter, climbed
to its summit and watched a
glorious sunset while nibbling
delicious sandwiches.
On the second Saturday following
her a rriv a l she was w ith Phil. They
had climbed Mount Carter again,
had sat for long, silent moments
watching the afterglow of a blood-
red sunset.
Unexpectedly Phil said: "W ell
it’s gone. And our vacation has
gone. Tonight winds up the two
weeks.”
“ There's always an end to nice
things,” she told him evasively.
“ There doesn't have to be.
Ever. Listen,” he went on
eagerly. “ I gave you the wrong
impression about myself. I'm
not a successful lawyer. I
never should have tried to be
a lawyer. Thank heavens I
realized the mistake before it
was too late.”
You mean you're not leaving?
You're staying here?”
He nodded. “ I'm going to try
and raise apples. Auntie and I are
going to be partners. This fa ll I ’ll
sell what we have and next spring
set out new trees. He picked up
her hand. “ Honey, let’ s make it a
threesome. I know i t ’s a lot to
ask,” he added w istfully. “ A city
g irl like you. I t ’ll be dull. But
eventually—”
" I could chip in my roadster,”
Janice cried excitedly. " I t ’s all I
have, but it ought to bring $500.
How many apple trees can you buy
with $500, darling?”
“ Enough." said Phil, reading her
eyes, "to keep from being lone
some—I guess.”
