(NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY)
HEN May found herself back
in her home town a week later.
it seemed to her for a. moment
that the lust eighteen months of IMF
life had been a bad dream.

When the taxicab drew up before
the white house with green shutters
where lived the young Dicli Gres-
orye. and Gloria herself came out to
welcome her. May knew suddenly
that she could never go away again.

Why. it was home to her! Arid
these friends of hers were all she
had to live for. now that everything
else seemed to have turned to dust
and ashes before her very eyes!

"You lucky girl!" she sold to
Gloria, when she ns‘d eaten a late
supper .of chicken sandwiches and
tea. and the two friends stood beside
Dicky Junior's little white bed in
the big white nursery upstairs.

"You lucky girl!" she said again.
“Don't you know that. this little
white house. and the husband and
‘ child who live here with you. are the
. no! joy of living?“

She said it breathlessly as if she

"Of course, I know it." one on-
swcrerl in a half-whisper so as not
to woken the baby. "Marriage and
motherhood . that's the highest
liappinw‘ss any woman can have.
May That's what we're‘ born for—
wc women."

Silently May nodded. Then she
gave herself a. nervous little shake
and ran a hand, through her short
gleaming hair “i'r'n going to burst
into tears in another minute.“ she
said portly. "if we go on talking like
a couple of Sunday school teachers!\

“First call for breakfast."

Come on downstairs. and we'll ripple
up a rug on the radio. eh, what?"
But after all she did not go down-

stairs again. in the hull she stopped
at the head of the long flight that
led to the lower floor. and put her
hand to her forehead. .
"Flendish headache. l've had
it all day." she explained to Gloria.
“i forgot all about it in the.excite-
merit of seeing you folks again. But
it's killing me, and i guess bed's‘the
best place to take it. Say goodnight
to Dick for mu. won‘t you?
Oh. but I‘m glad to be here willi you!

it's like home to me your
house!"
I O I
ND when she sunk into the

lavender-scented bed with its

soft pillows and spotless sheets.
a sense of peace poured itself into
her soul like oil on troubled waters.
She slept like the baby my the
nursery across the hall.

For months she had not had a
night's sleep like this. in hotels the
sound of doors closing. of telephones
ringing In nearby rooms. bad ”brokim
h'er sleep. The rnttlo of trains had
always kept her awake when she was
traveling.

Then. too. she had had her money
to worry about. and her future to
ponder over. But now that she had
reached the very ruck-bottom of bad
luck. what else was there to worry
about? . . Nothing. so far as May
could see!

. She would stay here with
Dick and Gloria until she was rooted
and refreshed. and then shc would
look for ll. job. She had worked
once . . she could work ugttin.
even if she hated work!

0 t. .

iNTER sunlight slanting across
her bed wakonod her in the
morning. And before she had
time to stretch and yawn. there
come a. tapping on the panels of the
door. ‘
"First call for breakfast!" came
the voice of Gloria in imitation of thc.
siren-call of a. dining-car waiter. She
pushed the door open with her foot
and came in. bearing a. large tray in
both her hands.
“Orange Juice. eggs. and potatoes
bashed in cream." she recited gully.

 

 

I “ll.

came the voice of Gloria.

uncovered the steaming dishes. "Hot
rolls and coffee! New. isn't
that as good a breakfast as you'd
have in a hotel?"

May groaned. "it's so much better
titan quail on toast would be in a
lonely hotel rooml“ she answercd.

Sin.- unfolded her napkin and
drained hcr glass of orange juice be-
fore she went on.

"i wish you'd seen the boarding
house in Los Angeics that was my
last stopping plaice! Dirty and
old and smelly! And the meals! on.
Gloria. i wish you'd seen some. of the
ltlvalsl“

She 'simdiim-cil. "I thought
Ulysses lt‘orizlln's (‘llr'rk never would
come!" she cried. "i thought I'd
have to stay in that horrible plactl
forever!"

She looked up at nor friend and
saw that her eyes had lost their
friendly gloom "Ulysses Forgltn's
chock?“ Gloria repealed. “Why, how
did you happen to no telling money
from Ulysses Ii‘tll‘glin?"

May flushed. “i wasn‘t taking
money from nlnii“ she said, and two
rod spots of fiery indignation burned
on her cheek-bones. “i simply asked
him to lend me enough money to
bring me home!"

Gloria slowly shook her head. "I
still don't understand why you bor-
rowed fmm him. Why couldn‘t you
have asked Dick to send you
money?" she wanted to know.

Mny shrugged her shoulders under
the pink silk sleeves of her bed
jacket. “Oh, i don’t know!" she sold
nix-lly. "i just happened to think of
Forgim!"

"But you hardly know him!“

"That's true cnouuil.” May admit-
ted. “ iut still . "

She droppu-d her eyes to her plate.
"But still . . i know him well
enough to have bud ti chance to. . .
marry him!"

Gloria opened her big brown eyes
wide. "And you didn't take him?"
she asked.

lilny shook her head. "No. I liked
him too well." she explained. “to
hang myself around his neck like I
mill‘stone. You know how people
hcrc'trcat me because of John's sol.
cide! . Like an outcast. don't
they?. . . And I couldn't let

"People don't look upon you as an

ing about you. All that talk about
you has blown over . . . as talit sl-
wsys doesl I'll bet you anything

But May only laughed I little bit.

said. ”Reiusod to speak to me!"

"lf she were presented at court. she'd

queen her crown was on crooked.“
”To set back to this Ulysses For-

, minute or two. “How much did you

borrow from him?"
"Two hundred dollars."
“Well." Gloria knitted her brawl.

“Dick's s. man." partied my.
“Dick's my husband. and I'm your

Gloria. She went out into the hat
and called Dick from his breakfast.
"As soon as you get to the office.

tending not to see his puzzled look.
"May owes some money and she'd
rather owe it to you than to the nuin

Dick didn't quite see. But he sent
the money: and May. in turn. scnt It

LYSSES found it lying on his
desk when he returned to his
office from his lunch. that day.
He turned it over and over in his
hands before he read it. and when
he had torn ll up and tucked the
Imoney lnto his wallet. he picked up
the telephone.
. But the Gregorys line wss
busy.
It was busy fifteen minutes later
when Ulysses tried the number
again. ‘
it was still busy at three o'clock
when he left the office to go to s
business meetlng a block away.
"Doggone it!" he said. cramming
his but down over his eyes. and slip
ping into his overcoat. "i don't bu-
lleve that phone's really busy! .
These telephone girls don‘t know
their business. half the time!"
But the telephone girl know her
business perfectly. as most telephone
girls do. And the Gregorys line
was busy.
For Gloria was calling up all of
May's old friends. including Myra
Gail. to ask them to play bridge at a
party she was giving for May "on
next. Thursday at two."
'l‘o May‘s surprise and to Gloria‘s
relief. all of lhrm clinic. including
Myra Gail. A little cold and curious
they seemed at first . . these
women who had once been May‘s
worm friends.
But as the afternoon wore on. and
the lomnswers lit to dispel the our.
pie dusk of the winter day. and tea.
made its appearance. they began to
thaw and chatter in their natural.
lighthearted way. And May began ’
to feel as if if” crucl hands of Time
had turned back twa years. as if she
were the careless. slangy May of the
old days . . . the spoiled wife of
the husband who adored her. the
reckless woman'wllo had let .llm Ca-
rcwc lead her along the flower-hung
precipice of disaster.
"Now. didn‘t it go beautifully?"
cried Gloria. dclightedly when the
door had closed upon the lost guest.
"You scel. . . i told you people
were ready to‘welcomo you back to
the fold. didn't l? And you see. they
were! . . ."
May didn't answer. and she went
on, with a knowing look in her clear
eyes. "if we’d all Just learn to meet
people half way in this world. there
wouldn't be half the hesrtscbes that
there are. . . . By the wsy, Dick
and i are having 'open house' on
Christmas Day. it there‘s anybody
you'd like us to ask. particularly?"
"Hmm . . . you might send a
card to Ulysses Forgun." May sn-
swered. trying to make her too.
casual and indifferent.
As a matter of fact. she was long-
lng to see Ulysses useful
