CHAPTER VII rARIAN changed her office (art to houaa coat and preparat dinner. It wasn't so bad, thla fet ting dinner after a hard day, alnoi Dolly could be counted on to wad the dishes. Dolly cared for th apartment as If It were her own doing many thlngi to make it com fortable, polishing sliver, puttinj fresh linen on the bed, washini the curtains frequently. Dan and Marian dined in al ienee, not a companionable silence, but one in which their two minds wandered down more or less pleasant paths of their own, the paths seldom touching. After din ner, Dan rinsed and stacked ths dishes while Marian prepared foi her regular evening tasks. Thi touch of white pique at her throat must be washed and ironed, stock ings and gloves must be laundered Marian never left one detail of hei wardrobe to chance. The garments to be worn the following day wert gone over each night, brushed, mended, made ready. As she worked, Dan roamed about the living room. He glanced at the paper, throwing it down to stare from the window. It crossed Marian's rated that she and Dan never went out together. And no one came to see them. With the exception of a few business ac quaintances, they had no friends. Why? She frowned, squeezing her hose in a loamy suds. Dan had never complained when she objected to going out. He never left her alone. Marian had moment of self-reproach. Dan was so socially inclined, he loved to dance, he loved people. Odd, the way she and Dan had' drifted apart There had been such a wealth of love at first, such, joy in their dose companionship. Marian gave herself a jerk, both' literally and figuratively. Why should she indulge in sentimental twaddle? Long since, she had ac cepted things as they were. Was ' it because at the two fears, Sally ; Blake and the other ever-present dread? Were they unconsciously ' driving her to Dan for shelter? a . PINISHING the washing, ah aat , down with a needle and thread. ; Two tiny snaps on her office dress needed tightening. Dan dropped to a chair by the table and shuffled la pack of cards. He laid out his favorite game. Marian wondered how many games of solitaire Dan had played in the past 10 years. . Her needle was too large for ths holes in the snaps, she pricked he) linger, the slap-slap of Dan's cards ' beat on her nerves. F "For goodness sake, Dan," six said crossly, "haven't you anything, (to read? Solitaire solitaire all the time." ' "You said it," be returned, as unusual grateness in his tone. "It gets on my nerves. I've has a hard day." She had an impulss to tell him of her hard day, oi Bally Blake who was edging in on her domain, of her fear that G. F Bras no longer satisfied. She com pressed her lips. She couldn't tell Dan. He would be glad of hei downfall.. Very likely he had been patiently waiting for that very thing. Instantly, her thoughts swunj back. Dan wouldn't be glad There wasn't a bit of meanness in Dan's makeup. That's why he had been a failure, too easygoing, too thoughtful of the other f euow. Like the tuna b could havi been sales msnager if he hadnt stepped back in favor, of Sims Crane .who had a wife and two youngsters. Marian had never for given him for that. Dan was the best man, all h lacked was a little force of char acter. He'd been chicken-hearted because Sims Crane had . tw routigsters .. Youngsters Dan never. men , toned his little . dream daughtei iny mora. Strange that ha should lave wanted a girl. But Dan was lueer like that, tender, no forc How her mind ran on tonight Dan had obediently put the cards way.- Ha was flipping through t nagazlne, sitting sidewise on as ancomfortable chair. "Dan, what alls you tonight?' tie broke out in exasperation Go over and talk to Dolly. Let Be have a little peace." "Okay." He got up and stroUei ktoss the hall, leaving both doori men. Marian heard him say, "I'vt teen kicked out. Can you put up pith me for a few minutes?" H said it good-naturedly. "Of course. Sit down. There'i lie evening paper." There was ns raspy edge to Dolly's voice. Shi vas a comfortable little person Tith . sigh of relief, Marias listened to their contented mur mur. This happened almost everj light, Dolly taking Dan oft hei sands. ' )AN sat in the shabby big chais which had been his brother's Favorite. Scanning the paper, hi looked pleasantly at ease. The tightness had disappeared from his face, the tension from his move ments. Opposite, curled in a comer of the davenport, Dolly knitted soft blue yarn on amber needles.

INO had a cute little voice, a laugh seemed to run behind it "Come in, Marian." . "No, thank I'll stay at home." .' AU was quiet in the apartment across the way. only the rustle of Dan's paper, the click of Dolly's needles. Then Dan, on laugh, "Here's an interesting thing, Dolly." "What? Read it to me." His voice rose and fell. When he had finished the article, they discussed it, laughing and wonder ing. Mora silence.. Marian must have dozed oft because the next thing she knew a game of cribbacte was in progress across the hall. Almost every evening Dan and Dolly played three games out of five for a dime. They fought every Inch of the way, gaily quarreling, making much of each small vic tory. IVP ARIAN went to bed. Her nerves were ragged. Rest lessly, she tossed and turned. She wished that Dan would finish his rame and come home. It was com forting to have him near. In the darkened room, all the doubts and fears of the day magnified them selves, stood out like italicized blurbs against the backdrop of to morrow and all the tomorrows. Ever since going into the business world she had seen the tragedy of the older girls, those past 30, as they were replaced by youth. Somehow she had never taken the lesson to herself. She was the ex ception that proved the rule. G. F. was her friend as well as em ployer, she was safe. Thirty had seemed so far away, 10 years, four, one Her 30th birthday, that line over which the business girl stepped from the glamorous age to the veteran class, had passed uneventfully.
