dramzis, who plies his devilish arts upon a simple young wife or innoe~

dust of gray in his hair or a single white lock.
There are niany reasons why the middle-aged man is more _attractive
to women than boys ure. The first is,‘of course, that he is more inter-
esting. He has seen more, done more, read and thought more and, con-
=e uentl has more to talk about,

H A Romance of Today
By Joanna Cannan
lt was on a Monday moi-ning that
he.went back to the office, and
Geoffrey travelled up from Hem-
bhott with him. During the holiday
0.. new idea had been mootcd, and
John Gilmour had taken a small
service flat near Victoria. He in-
tended to live there in the winter,
spending only his week-ends at.
Hemshott, while it would provide af
home for Geoffrey and the year
round. John Gilmour was to sign
the lease this moming, and in a
week's time he expected to move in.
Geoffrey was to keep short hours
at the office and sleep at I-lemshott
‘-lll then.
"You will find a few changes tn
the office," he said to Geoffrey,
quite suddenly ns they walked to-
gether along Eastciieap. "One or
two of the typists have left for bet-
Le|;.posts. Of course in ri. firm like
ou`r's where there's a tradition of
'ong scrvicc,'promotion among the
juniors is almost imposslb‘c." His
voice had the ciisunl tone which
betrays iiervousiiess, Geoffrey said
to himself; this mcziiis that Fay
has gone. He iiad not expected :my-

would not have lirouglit hini b:.cf:

there. .
be very difficult for them to' get on.
y “Very difficult indeed," said John
Gilmour, as they entered the build-
ing and made their way upstairs.
“Do you see that the staircase has
been redeeorated, Geoffrey? Not
bad, is it, that buff and green . .?"
l Geoffrey had not been mistaken.
Early in the afternoon his work took
hint into the main office. A red-
l haired girl with horn-rimmed spee-
ltacles was typing in Fay’s place,
,and beside Miss Carter, instead of
:Connie Evers, a sharp-faced young
woman was checking figures iii ii
quick precise voice. Geof'lrey’s busi-
ness was with the sales manager.
He smiled at Miss Carter and Tur-
ner and Mr. Errans, but he was too
busy 'to stop and talk to them. Next
time he was in the office he would
get into conversation with Turner
and find out about Fay. . _ _
1 At the end of that first week the
service flat was ready, and on the
Monday evening Geoffrey .settled
in. Superfluous furniture from Hem-
shott had been moved there, a writ-
ing table from the drawing-room,
bookshclves from the old 'school-
room, the sofa from the boudcir,
two armchalrs which- had always
crowded thc billiard room. The gar-
den room had ylcldcd some sporting
prints. But the bedroom furniture
in the flat was new and so were the
cur.ains and the Bokliara rugs, and
Geoffrey' had chosen a cretoniic for
the sofa, and when it was ready he
was going to give n dinner party, ui
flat-'ivarmin;; for which his f:i.l..~r~
had generously offered ta p' 3'.

week, so Geoffrey settled on Friday
night for the dinner party; and on
Monday, when he was tired of un-
packing, he sat down on one of the
armchairs in the sitting room with
the telephone directory on his knees
and began to ring up his prospective
guests.
A bachelors' party it was to bo.
Tiiere was Lcsley's . cousin, Keith
Lesley, and two brothers called
Wheatley whom Geoffrey had met
in Normandy, and a. Barchester
friend who was up at Oxford but
would very likely be in London un-
til the end of the Long Vacation,
and a young Scot, a chance golf ac-
quaintance, who was in ship build-
ing and had recently been trans-
ferred to the London office of his
firm.
All flve gentlemen happened to
be in that night and they all ac-
cepted C\eoifrey's invitation. I-le
was exchanging a. final “Cheerlo"
with the Barchester friend when he
heard the click of the letter box. He
hung up the r°ecelver and went out
to collect his letters thinking what
a. rag it was going to be on Friday
and wondering whether he should
offer port or brown sherry after the
champagne.
His letters were four.
The first one he opened was from
his aunt saying that she had for-
gotten all about the soft cushions
and that they would be coming up
iii the ear on Tuesday along with a
parcel containing a. clock for the

Geoffrey read ‘ the letter over

sat down in the armchair to think.

Something was wrong with him,
or something had happened to him,
he dldn't know which. `|'t had be-
gun when he was out in France, at
least he had first been conscious of
it there, but perhaps it had begun
earlier, in those weeks before his
wedding, when he had found him-
self resigned to that loveless union,
aware that suns would rise, clouds
salt, and waters cool, that there
would be Jokes in laugh at, cars to
drive and balls to hit, despite his
surrender of his love. And from
resignation hadcome . . . well,
you might call it forgetfulness, that
comfortable loss which he had
noticed in France.
Svmethlns was zone. on the warm
nights of summer, he could sit out
on the verandah under the stars,
thinking over his golf strokes; and
the slow splash of the sea sang him
nothingand the rustle of the tall
lime trees never whispered "I*‘ay."
He had not faced this, then, had
not given lt_a. name, because it hgd
seemed lo incredible and beaatly
that he could forget Fay, that he
could do what older people always
said the young would do-get over
lt.
But he saw now that he had got
over lt, out there in France where
he had had such marvellous golf
and tennis and the sea had not
Suns to him and the time trees had
never whispered, "Fay." And now
that the need for resigning himself
pas past, could he go beck to the
love of days before he had leamed
these new lessons about how much
thing, oefore he had learned to sit
out on a verandah and think about
his golf strokes on summer nights
under the twinkling stars.
Could you ever go back in life?
wasnt it made up oi changes, irom
one thing came anotner, and the
past thing died, and tnere was no
going back, you coulcln’t go back
and make anything from the ashes
of soinethuig dead, however sweet it
had been? `
If you had loved someone very
dearly, and had had to give her up,
and your own sufferings over that
had altered you and-he saw this

roses of yesterday.
When you knew that, you were
grown-up. and though, in years in
come. there might be mother love
for you, a deeper, sounder love, it
would never be half so wonderful
as this first, foolish one because
you would know that you werent
going to break your heart over it,
and so the sea wouldn‘t sing nor
the leaves whisper ever in your life
again.
When Geoffrey reached this point
in his reflections, he was sharply
disturbed by the ringing of the tole-
now-had made you grow up. so
that the world all seemed different
