provided? He glanced about the liv ing room, where he went to look over the day's mail, and found no fault with it, as a setting for a woman even as exquisite as Natalie.

"Maybe she thinks she ought to

be in a palace," he said to himself,

but he knew he was unjust in that. Being half right and half wrong irritated him. Natalie had always been ambitious for him. She wanted success, but she had not heen greedy or unreasonable in the. matter of material possessions. Alan was deliberately trying to re- member only. derogatory things about her. It helped him to think

And his soft thoughts grew softer as more days went by and still Natalie did not write to him. What was he going to do with his life anyway? he asked himself night after night, while lying awake and pondering the wreck of his mar- riage.

She was certain that for a mo- ment Alan had been on the verge of taking her in his arms. Ther he seemed to heed some inner ad-softer thoughts of Phillipa. monition that prompted him draw back.

She remembered very clearly, as she told him in a quiet voice, that she would be glad to go, that she owed him something for the day before. But, of course, if he aur rendered-she smiled faintly up at him--that would wipe out all debts.

With his window shades up with the windows for fresh air, his room was lighted from that of a wakeful guest in another wing of the hotel. The light disturbed Alan; made him think, with deeper re- gret, of his pleasure room at home in Hillshire. It had given him a pang good and sharp to lock up the house and let Frances and Hannah go.

"No getting around it," he said to himself; "it's a tragedy, breaking up a home."

But the house remained.. It stood. there in its setting of snow-covered

They had an excellent dinner and were fortunate enough to get good seats for a Broadway hit. But they danced on an ever-crowded floor in a second-rate supper club, and Alan didn't like it. Particularly the peo-shrubbery, silent and waiting. Had ple at the table next to theirs. One of the men there was too frankly interested in Phillipa.

"We better dress next time and go to a decent place," he remarked crossly..

"But Alan,"it was Alan now "how can you when you live up in Hillshire, unless you want to do a lot of cammuting?"

"A lot of commuting." Alan peated, and they both laughed.

Phillipa merely smiled.

After all, hotel life was not to his

liking. A man had a right to sur- round himself with the things he re-wanted; quiet, restfulness, comfort. He made a wry face in the dark. His home had not always been quiet and restful. But then Natalie .... hang it all, Phillipa was different. She had been out in the world, in business. She knew enough of life to be reasonable about it. She wouldn't narrow down to the notion that one life ever could, or should, be completely submerged in an- other. Natalie wanted too much of

"Well, if it does, we've got to dress." Alan declared.

"I could never afford it," she said firmly, "Why, Alan, don't you know that an evening gown won't stand more than two or three parties in some of these clubs? At least, that's

Phillipa was different. He kept

couldn't he care as much for her- in time-as he had for Natalie?

"But would you want to go up to Hillshire and return every time we go out?" she asked, and thereby killed two birds with one stone. She would accept a wardrobe, and find out if they would spend many evenings together.

"No, I wouldn't," Alan admitted. "I was thinking I'd cluse the house and come down to a hotel."

She took clothes from him, pose. and Alan believed it was because she had to have them to go out with him, and that she accepted his invitations only out of the kindness of her heart.. Simply to cheer a friend over a rough era. She was a regular girl.
