PXGE EIGHT KITTY- 'tw JANE ITHOPSIB: When Kitty Frtit rtalitet that Oar, to whom the hat been married a short time, it eretly meeting Marge Crosby the it frightened but determined to hold iiar. Thtt trouble it too grave to tell her confidant, Oar't half-brother David. She befriende Oar't titter Carol, who hat left home. Cbptr St DANGEROUS GROUND "ITS been a fool, David," Kitty repeated. "Just because I bad to tarn my precious housekeeping over to Carley! Why, David, I've ven tried to flirt with you! That Dlght at the concert It annoyed me because you wouldn't talk to me. Until David, It was funny, the way the muslo got me." But there was no David there to answer because she was alone In the living-room of the little apart ment, thinking, excusing that Kitty Frew shed come to be. Ton see It's partly my fault It goes back to that fuss I made at bis mother's house. Poor Oar's afraid to tell me things that might make me angry. That's all It Is. And of course I don't care I mean about his taking Marge to the con cert Didn't I sit with you, theret And Oar would have been angry about that And about the office -well, maybe he did go back. Old Jonathan wouldn't call me up to ay he d been mistaken about Oar's not coming In for the rest of the Iday. He Isn't Oar's boss to know rverythlng he's going to do. Oh, Oar's all right I ; "Don't you see, David, that I've ot to go on? I can't let myself suspect that everything Oct tells me Is Is a lie! It Isn't of course. jl've got tc keep Carley because rGar wants me to and I've got to go on being gay as It as If I were happy. And I'm going to be! This la only what comes up between married people often little differ ences" And then Kitty would bold her head high as It to defy the David who couldn't bear her because ho wasn't there. But she was still frightened, There were times when she shrank from Oar's caress, when her heart sank unreasonlngly at his home coming. She sever called him at bis office. She never questioned him as to what bad happened at the office or at rehearsals. When he told her she listened, thinking; "This isn't a He," and hating her self because she had to so reassure herself. When In the evening they went out with the others she was reso lutely gay and kept herself from watching Marge and Oar. They ware old friends, they'd known one another since they were children. And It was Marge's way to appro priate aome one ot the men and Oar's way always to be charming to any woman he was with. Of course there was nothing between them I It was absurd, absurb Oar iwas bars. She did Dot call David, sow, on the telephone. She did not go to Dorcas' because there she might see him. She shrank from seeing him. Be might guess the trouble she carried In her hoart She went to Carol's more fre quently. Carol needed her. The 'Russian "doo-dads" were not sell ing very well. She offered Carol a lloan but Carol shook her head. ' "It It were your money, Kitty " ' "Well, Isn't It mine? What's Oar's Ha mine!" Kitty laughed. "If be earned It Dont you IJknowf" Carol's question was sig nificant "What do you moan?" And, In Itantly, Kitty was frightened. Carol laughed. "Why, mother gives nlm money every time he goes to the home! She paya most ot your bills. I saw a lot ot them on her desk that day I had the row. He'd Just been there. Do you mean jou didn't know UT Did yon think you could live the way yon do on what Oar earns If you can cell It that?" Kitty bad the sickening sensa tion ot the floor swaying beneath her. When she spoke her voice ounded queer, brittle. "I knew that that time. The bills bad to be paid up, right away. We'd gone In a little too deep at Christmas time. Oar Just borrowed It." "Borrowed It!" Carol's retort waa scornful. "No, thanks, I'd rather starve than use any money aha may have given Oar." Well, sae'd rather starve, too. than eat food bought by Mrs. Frew's money, thought Kitty hotly, helplessly. She remembered bow easily Oar had assured her that the bills had been paid. And she could do nothing. She had to go on, humiliated to her soul, beaten. That was It her One -ntlsfactloa Is their Independence li'KIEY PEAKS SCALED Bl PARTY WAHINOTON.

She had boasted to David that she wasn't afraid of Gar's mother. She wat afraid. She pictured Oar going to her, every day, perhaps. Oar's mother was waiting, only bid ing her time until Gar realised bis mistake, keeping him dependent upon ber, feeding her ' sweet poison And what hurt her most ot all were the little silences that cam up between ber and Gar, when, talking, all at once she'd know she was bordering on dangerous ground and break off abruptly. Did Gar notice how often It happened? "Sally and Phil are going to be married April second," she told him one evening. "Can yon get away, Oar?" "Sure at anything. To dont think I'd miss It, do you?" "I'm her only bridesmaid. I'm to wear blue; she sent ma a sam ple." And then Kitty stopped. "Get something good," Gar di rected. "Go to Felicia's and have It made." Mrs. Frew had her clothes made at Felicia's. Dangerous ground. At Isobel Peters' house one night, playing bridge with Tubby and Isobel and Buck, she heard Isobel tell Tubby that Marge was going abroad In April. Her heart gave a quick Involuntary leap of Joy. It Marge went away and stayed away a long time, It would be easier to straighten things out And going to Brldgewater would help, too. . She ordered the blue bridesmaid's dress at Felicia's, as Oar had told her to. He was Interested In every detail of It He appeared to anticipate their holiday as Joyously as he did. And planning for It talking about It to Oar, going to Felicia's tor repeated fittings of the blue dress helped Kitty put out of her mind the tor ment she bsd suffered. One evening Gar was detained downtown. She decided that she would go to Dorcas'. She wasn't afraid of see ing David, now. She wanted to know about his book. He must have bad some word. She called Dorcas on the telephone. "I've Just turned the lock on my door, Kitty, but I'll let you In." Then she wouldn't see David. But she went to Ketchum Street nevertheless. Dorcas was wearing the old flan nel dressing-gown, the soft heelless slippers. Her appearance reminded Kitty of that night David bad brought her to the bouse. "Where's David?" Kitty asked, after an hour's casual talk. "Out In the country." Dorcas' tone wns short He'd gone, then, without a word to herl Kitty did not reason that David sever called her, that all her meetings with him had come from her suggestion. She allowed her self a little feeling of hurt Then at once It occurred to her that the book might have been rejected. David bad gone to the little bouse to face down his disappointment. "Has he beard from those pub lishers?" she asked quickly. Jjorcas smiled. "Yes. Didn't yon know? Norwood sent for him. Re went to New York last week." "Oh, then they've taken It?" Kitty's Joy brought Dorcas' glance level ly on her. "No, they turned It down. It was too sour. That's their exact word for It Probably It reflected David's state ot mind while he waa writing it" The calmness of Dorcas' manner exasperated Kitty. A lot ot help she was to poor David. 'If you'd If you'd stand by blm more " she began a little Inco herently. "Oh, Dorcas, David needs you a lotl And he's too proud to let you see" 'He doesnt need me," Donas said flatly, tonalessly. But he doesl Why, Dereaa, David's In love with you!" Dorcas laughed. "You talk like a goose, Kitty. You're the one who Is blind! David never has cared for me. In the way you mean. That's absurd. I might have made him, If I'd tried. But I wouldn't try. It he didn't with out It We've talked It over. I could have taken what he had to give me hut I didn't choose to con tent myself with any halt-loaf. Now I see that I was wise" "Oh, Dorcas, you're all wrong!" "Wrong?" Dorcas flared. She rose abruptly and stood over Kitty, her eyes angry. "Can you tell me honestly, Kitty, that you don't know that David Is desperstely In lovj with you?"
