Hospitality is one of the most beautiful of the virtues. but it becomes a vice when you let deadbeais make it the screen for ahoid-uP. 811d m“ is uihat is only too 0il0ll done. All of us have relatives or 50-0811“ friends who use our houses to save themselves from paying hotel bills and who ivish themselves upon us for interminable visits whenever they lose a job or feel as it they would like to have a little rest and change, or a vacation that costs them nothing.

Many women who are cursed with sponging relatives are cruelly un- just to their husbands. for they take all their husbands make to spend Oll their own people. There is always a horde of hungry aunt and uncles and cousins at the table and camping all over the house. hrrc is always *1 sister with a hard-lurk story and a brother who is borrowing money that he ncver returns. Mother is always needing a nice warm coat and {other a new suit. The little nieces and nephews have to have their adenoids out, the boys and girls must be sent off to college. and the poor husband has to’ foot the bills. Many a man is sold into slavery to his wife's people on his wedding day.

Dane said: "No, put the m up and park it here on the d, .' I may want it later.

From the decks o! one and another. people called to them. Sonia spoke to Dane by name; but others seemed merely to offer a free-and-easy hospitality to all comers. '

"Everyone seems to know every- one," Kay commented.

"Just one big happy family," Dane assured her. "After we get settled, maybe we'll go visiting _ ,"

Harry Mann's was the motor yacht Griffin, Diesel-powered, sleek and tremendous. Harry's Aunt Ma- dclon greeted them at the board- ing ladder; and Kay thought her a shy little old woman, playing hos- tess from duty rather than desire. Kay's proved to be a. single cabin; and Dane was lodged lust across the companion.

Kay was B. little uneasy to find that save for Aunt Madeion and the crew, she and Dane appeared in izave the ‘Griffin’ to themselves; but when they came on deck again, others were arriving. Harry Mann proved to be a dumpy. humble in- dividual whom Dane treated with a loculor contempt. Kay had met most of the others; and Sally Hays was of course an old friend. Kay saw Sally with delight; clung to hcr nrni for a while with an 1n- stinctive desire for the others guid- ance and sponsoring. She felt very keenly that she did not belong here. 'I‘hcse others were clearly. wealthy; the gowns they wore made her best look like a home-made product. She, Kay Brennan. with less than four dollars in her purse and no other tangible assets except n week's salary due her‘ tomorrow, was an intruder here. She m t win her way, pay for her en ertainment somehow.

And she tried to do so, putting on as the cocktails began to circu- late a factitious vivacity. straining to be as charming as possible, not only to Dane but to them all. '

When they went below to dress, Sally came into Kay's stateroom. "Haven't seen you for weeks, dar- ling," she said. “Dane wasn't even sure you were coming."

Kay said: "Oh, Iuecded to — go on a tear! Lost my Job yesterday. so I'm celebrating."

Sally looked ct her tlioughtfuilyx but she asked no questions. She only said. "l knew there was some- thing, when you took the fourth Martini. Where do you put them Kay? Your capacity is a continu- al surprise to me . . ."

Kay remembered another conver- suiion curiously like this one. "It's inherited," she said recklessly.

You should b9 ashamed of even thinking 0f ihr0\v'ing up your hands and quit- ting before you cvvr have a real fry at life. _._____ . D0 you think you arc the first fellow who cvcr lost n. job? Why, thcrc have been millions of them. The ones who had any gift in their craws didn't sit. down and give up. They hustled out and got something to do Maybe it wasn't what they wanted p; do m- whm, may were ac. customed to (loing. but it was WORK and it tied them over the bad days. Do you think you are the first, man who ever had to meet any hardships, who ever hurl his dreams smashed and hi5 plans g0 uwry Why, son, that has happened to every man in the world, and only the winners went under Wllcn they met with disaster. The worth-willie ones fought through to success. -

The trouble is you have token your wilfiiu misforiuiic in the wrong rvay. You've let it get you down and rob you of your self-confidence, and that is one reason you haven't been ablc t0 find a job. Nobody wants to illfevil manwvith a hang-dog looi: and a talc of woe and who has no faith in himself.

Another place you have gone wrong-is in giving up your girl and not going to scc her because your pride won't let you 113.11g around when you can't tlldii licr out for good tunes. You arc right not to marry when you have nothing to lit/e on. but that is no reason for notgoing to sue her and letting hcr comfort you and cheer you up.

She asked once gropingiy: “You mean you want to marry me?" Apd he laughed recklessly ‘ and said something rnirthful and vhollefll" ing; and she insisted: “But do you?"

"Pin sorry.‘ Dane aid furiously, in a tone which made it clear that he was not sorry at all ."Forget it! Come on in and I'll play you a game of backgammon ,or tiddlc-wlnks, or something equally exciting!"

“You go in," she countered. "I'll stay out here a.little while and things out.

When he was gone, Kay sot up and walked to the after rail and stood them, holding to the rail with both hands, staring out with uncer- taln eyes across the crowded har- bor. UpGn the black oily water streaks and spots of light, reflected. tossed and stirred xestlessly; single spots became zigzag llncs. extending and contracting a they were mir- rored on the disturbed wake of some passing craft. The outboard motor on a tender buzzed remotely; the roar of a big speedboat bummed in crescendo. blarded, and died as the boat raced away up the river. There were other craft all about. motor cruisers, sloops, schooners. no two of them alike except that eitch was alive with the sound and stir of merriment. 0n the lighted after rccks of the larger yachts, figures might be seen moving in the dance. or leaning on the rail. or sitting at their ease. Far away was the dark blur of the city. broken by yellow pin pricks of light: and nbove its jagged silhou- etbe the deep dark of the star- sprinklcrl sky.

Then Kay felt someone hcre be- side her; felt an arm around her waist. Sally Hays, Sally said gently: "Don't feel badly ,Kay. Dane will be all right in the morning. Too many drinks make him first amor- ous and then angry That's all."

"I was a fool to home," Kay whis- pered: and she confessed: “Sally. I ms desperate. I lost my job, and it seemed to me as though the- world were coming to an cnd. I don't know what I'm going to do." "G0 i0 bed," Sully sliggrsied. "The sun will shine tomorrow. Kay

Kay shook her head; she laughed a little miserably, "I feel like some. one drowning, or an the edge of a preciplcelor something, sally, I'd snatch at anything. I suppose that's why I snatched at this trip with Dane . ..I might have known . . ." But then meddle Bow came to summon Sally. and Sally squeezed Kflyb hand and went into the Saloon» Kay stored where she was.

“But I'm neglecting duties o! o host," he said cheerfully. He turned half around to Kay with something in his hands. "We're provisioned for a. 1on2 cruise. Kay." he said amiably. "You needn't hold back. This will loosen your tongue."
