SYNOPBIR: "Two children mar
ried." So Kitty Itrandon's mother
thinks at ths wedding ot Kitty and
Garfield Frew. Gar hat lust tin
tehed college and hopes to get a
job with hie father, director in
moat ot the important ooncernt in
Winton. He takee Kitty away
from her home in a imull town
: and carries her off to stay with
hie family. Ktttu ie nervous about
meeting them, especially Gar's
. mother. Her worries increase
when on the train they meet
Marge Crosby, a very sophisticated
member ot Oar's crowd at home,
who derates herself to Gar ana
snubs Kitty. Oar. light-hearted
and easy fiotng. does not appreci
ate Marae's attitude toward Kitty
nor Kitty's disturbed mind. Marge s
smart outfit makes Kitty feel that
her own clothes are countrified.
When they arrive at Gar's home,
the butter informs them that his
mother will see them at tea. "May
be your mother's angry," Kitty
says.
Chaptor S
"THIS 18 YOUR WIFEJ"
Mother yet
"Probably she's running; some
rerjr Important meeting at this very
moment. You're going to be crazy
about her, Kit. But I don't like the
Idea of bringing you up here. I'll
talk that over with the Mothor "
Kitty roused to look about her, a
udden tenderness welling In her
lyes.
"This Is your own room, Oar?
' ronr little-boy's room 7"
He had to kiss her for the tone In
Pound had told Sim, The sand.
wlches were on a silver plate, the
lemons cut to a delicate thinness,
each slice neatly pierced with
cloves. There was candled ginger,
and little cakes scarcely bigger
than thimbles.
Mushroom sandwiches, because
Oar liked them; magnificent ges
ture ot forgiveness! Carol smiled.
Her smile was not a pleasant one
and spread no further than the
muscles ot ber Hps. The two, mother
and daughter, were much alike In
feature, smooth brown hair, gray
eyes, heavy lidded, high-bridged
nose, even contour of cheek and
chin, and thin, finely curved lips.
But Carol's face lacked the gracious
ness that touched the older woman's
with beauty; It was marked rather
with discontent and restleesness,
furtive suspicion.
The room In which they sat was
beautifully appointed. The walls
were of a cool buff panelod with
murals of a Persian motif, the win
dows were high and wide and bung
with heavy amber satin that
seemed, today, to catch and hold
the gold of the afternoon sunlight:
the same high note of color was re
peated In the delicate fabrio of the
chairs and divan, and reflected In
the prisms of the crystal can
delabra around the walls.
"Chivers Is lecturing today,"
Mrs. Frew untty disengaged herself from Oar's arms. "And this Is your
wife?" she asked.
her voice. "Well, t moved up here
after I graduated from a nurse but
I don't think you'll find any toys
. about. He surveyed his posses
sions proudly, tonnls rackets, tolls,
boxing gloves, a varied collection ot
trophies, Innumerable framed pho
tographs of college groups, girls,
dogs, horses, speed boats.
Pound came In, then, coughing
discreetly. Under Gar's direction be
deposited the bags and retreated.
"Oar, don't ask your mother to
change us. This this Is nice.". Her
tone was pleading, her eyos pleaded.
She could not explain that she felt
more secure here In this room that
was Oar's, mora his, because the
fear ot sharing him was too new
born a thing within her to voice It.
"Oh, well. Just as you say, swoet."
"It'll only be for a little while,
Oar." She walked about the room,
looking at Its photographs. Over his
desk hung a framed picture of Mar
gery Crosby In beautiful nose. Kitty
regarded It, smiling unconcernedly.
"Here, I'll open your bag," Oar
ald. "You must doll up to moot the
mother. Kit."
At that her apprehension took
swift -hold of her again. The trous
seau she had assembled In that too
short week of preparation contained
only two of what Brldgewaler called
"dress-up" drosses, a soft bluo flow
ered crepe and a more practical
rust-colored silk.
And while she was weighing her
choice she thought of Oar's mother.
"Oar, you love your mother very,
ery much, don't you?"
He did not notice the soberness
of her voice. "Devoted," he an
swered quickly. "We've always been
pals she's that kind. Queas there
Isn't anything I could tell her that
she wouldn't understand. You'll see
that. Kit."
Ill . tone nut to ahem her nan!
of Brldgowater's best dressmaker,
even her dread of sharing Oar.
Downstairs, Carol Crew sat care
lessly on the arm of a chair watch
Ing her mother direct Pound In the
placing of the lea-lable. "A little
more to the right. Pound. Did you
tell Blm to wake the mushroom
sandwiches ?"
Carol said significantly. She wanted
hor mother to know that she had
considered going to hear Chivers
road from his own vorse, In spite
ot the tact that Oar was coming
home with a bride; she wanted her
mother to know, too, that she was
not missing It out of any curiosity
over Kitty, for as far as she was
concerned she didn't care what
Kitty waa like any more than to
hope fervently that she waa quite a
mess. She waa staying to watch her
mother's tochnlque.
When Gar's letter had come tell
ing them briefly that he waa mar
rled Carol had exulted. Now the
proclous boy had done something
bis mother could not glosa ovor. She
had looked for tears on her mother's
part, anger, denunciation. But If
Mrs. Frew shed any tears she had
shed them In secret and her smiling
acceptance of the situation had held
not even a hint of resignation. Carol
had told herself that her mother
waa too clever to show .her hand
yet; she'd watch for the first move.
And she'd thought her mother might
make It this afternoon.
But when her mother'a absorption
In the arrangement of the tea things
betrayed that she was not even
hearing what Carol said and there
tore could not be told, evon through
the most subtle insinuation, why
she was remaining, Carol shut her
Hps In a thin line, half-smlle, half-sneer.
When Gar and Kitty came In Mrs.
Frew rose and went to meet Gar.
her hands outstretched. "My dear
boy!" Shu was as tall as Gar. She
took his head In her hands and
kissed blm. And Oar embraced her
boyishly, a little roughly, Inartlcu
late for the moment in his rush of
affection. They might have been
meeting alone In the room for any
awareness on their part of Kitty or
Carol.
Mrs. Frew disengaged herself
from Oar's arms, smiling, one hand
holding his. "And this Is your
wlfot" Her faint hesitation indlcat
cJ that at the moment Kitty's name
had escaped her.
