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.

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

waa a mockery, now, those days of
careful budgeting a Joke.
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?"
