The next morning `-Irma Barton called to inquire after me, I'was sure then that Everett had” been with her the evening before, yet I Bféeted-_shea c0,\',dlally_,. I had told Hetty to_.__ask her _to'co;ne upstairs for a moment-1 would -ask her - _“Ii was so sorry toheafr of your accident, Mrs. Graham," she said in greeting. "Everett told me you knocked the candle against _your negligee. You will have to follow my example and use a small night lamp instead of a candle-even i_f___it isn't so artistic. I set the curtain' -in my boudolr allre one night and nearly burned the house down. Since thefnfl never use a. candle.” ` - I was very grateful to Everett' for making any explanation unneces- sary. So we chatted a while. Then I reminded her that she hail told me she wanted _to say something to ine, and I had gone _home without knowing what' it was. I Oh, yes, I remember!" she saiid after a moment. I comes. I do wish they‘d get married. -husband and I have been friends The women here are nice, but Rose _ knows everyone I do and we could have such good times talking things over.” - Hetty brought back a message from Barrett -that he would call to inquire for me the next day. “I wish l could see lii_m'," I mut- tered to-myself, -but Everett would not approve if I received even a' friend of his while confined' t'o my room, and-I _was not sure he had liked Barrett since the night he had taken Rose and me to the theatre, and he hifd- been angry becausel had disobeyed him. Once again I built air castles around Bal‘_r`et‘t, Edmondrand -__Ro_ss' Grandon. _That _love goes 'wheragit is sent, and that Cupid is an erratic sort of agod,I never thought. Neith- er did I realize that Barrett cared for me. I knew he liked me, liked to be with -me, -bu-t I gave all the credit to our mutual taste for music. ' I was asleep when Everett came ln. He told me the next morning that he had come in and kissed me before he retired. _ “I wish I -had been awake.” - “Why wish that? I was. delighted to nnd you sleeping so quietly." "I wouldnt' have missed your NSS." I i-_eplied with a' blush. _ _ "Here’s one now then," and he save me a_ long, loving kiss before' he_ieft me; ' . it wen vel-y miie to make me nan- ny. _Perhaps because I' had learned _ to love- Everett so dearly, that kiss kept nie happy and contented' all dar ions'-the kiss I knew I had re- ceived, nnd ,the one he gave me while I slept. _Barrett Edmonds called about 3 ocleck and brought nie' some lovely flowers and scrawled a -dear little for years-before your were born," she added will-nisically, “although I awfully hate to admit lt. Makes me out- an- old _wo_man,_ doesn't »it'? I knew Leols, as I told you- knew and loved her although I also knew her faults. Everett realized he did not make her entirely happy, al- though she loved h-im , and he liumored her beyond all reason. His greatest fear is that he will not suc csed in making you happy. I-Ie loves you very tenderly-more, _I think, _than he ever loved Laois. But in hisanxiety to do what is best for you-so different from the way he did with Leoluf-he thinks 'youy mis- understand him' often, and do not care for him as you _would did _if _ he give you your way. Wait a minute --JI have thought at times you might resent his calling on_ me, joining us at bridge, etcetera, I hope you' don't.
