He stopped for breath, and Natalie instantly put forward her own opinion of Bernadine and her profession.

"I suppose." she said, "you ex- pect me to believe she's too good for what she's doing. Why doesn't she leave it then?"

"You would ask that," Alan re- joined. "No woman who has been taken care of as you have could understand what it means to be on your own with a child to support."

She had no idea that Alan knew "The Lamont." It seemed incredible. Alan was only a beginning-to-be- wealthy broker. Surely Bernadine would want someone higher on the ladder of success.

But the boy was handsome, she remembered. Alan too... very handsome. She had resented his; good looks on several occasions. Now she stared at him, and her re- sentment grew with the fire that flamed under her cool exterior.

Since their marriage, three years ago, she had come to scoff at the memory of the joy she had found in being engaged to a man who was the envy of all her girl friends, It had ceased to please her when other women admired him. Late- ly she had openly snubbed one or two who were gushing compliments about him.

She was fierce in her jealousy, but she was still able to control it. to a degree. She did not fling her self out of her chair and bar the door.

Instead, she sat quietly, and bored

at him with eyes as effectively re-: monstrative, as words could have been. It was Alan who acted.

He shattered the silence with an uneasy, off-hand laugh. Or, rather, the beginning of one. Natalie inter- rupted.

"Alan. You aren't going! "Now, Natalie, for heaven's sake, don't begin that stuff,' Alan re- torted, more worried than he cared

to have her know.

"But Alan..

Natalie was quick with an an- awer. "You haven't heard what I have to say about Bernadine La- mont," she cried.

Alan sank back in his chair, put down his dessert fork he had taken up again, after answering Berna dine's telephone call, and assumed

a resigned attitude.

"Let's have it," he said.

"All the women around here are talking about her," Natalie began, a bit subdued by Alan's manner.

He nodded. "What of it?" "Alan!" Natalie was filled with sudden suspicion. "You didn't help

"No, I didn't," Alan admitted. "She didn't ask me to help her."

"Then you would have." "Lord," Alan groaned, "haven't we enough to scrap about without bringing up what didn't happen? I'd say we have, and one part of it is this: It wasn't the country club you talked about when we first thought of building here-it was fresh air for the children."

He paused, and Natalie awaited his next words with a bit of dread. She knew what was coming. It

Her thoughts here became un- endurable. She left the window, went to the telephone and called up Gladys Wynne.

He was not there now. „Berna- dine had sent him to bed early. He was supposed to go to bed early every night, but it puzzled him when he was compelled to do it. Bernadine had felt guilty over her indulgence, but how could she send him to bed before it was time for her to go to the club? She couldn't. Bobby was her life. Then she had heard someone say that sleep is sleep-and it was rather nice to have Bobby remain quiet an hour
