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

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

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. It wss restful picture.'

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. And

going to the hall door, she called,
