The opening of "Every Street", was one of the bril Hant affairs of the London

season.

Not least among its Joys for ne was the fact that Oliver had been graduated from Balliol and had at last come home to live with me. Sill his jaunty, charming, undis- elplined self, he had gone through the University mainly on his nerve and on his uncanny ability to bluf himself out of scrapes, backed by Rory O'Riordan's help in patching up the broken pieces of many a situation after him.

Kow Oliver was home, to my intense delight, and affably, casual- ly accepted all the luxuries, the expensively furnished rooms, the clothes, the lavish pocket money I was ready to provide him with.

While we finished dressing for the opening of my play, Öliver rhapsodised to me over the charms of the young woman who was to accompany him. He had met her, it seemed, at the home of Pogson, his classmate whose father owned the coal mine. Her name Livia Vaynol,

Toward the close of one of those long. zy June afternoons Livia returned from a day of painting evidently at ense and disturbed. She had accomplished almost no- thing all day; and when I teased her about it she amazed me by bursting into tears.

During dinner her distraught mood seemed to continue. But Oliver, who had been out sailing during the afternoon, was in rare spirits. He proposed an ironical toast to his "dear stepmomma" and on learning that Livia had wept on returning from the cove, pressed her mercilessly to tell why. I listened, perplexed, and when dinner was over I asked to speak to Oliver alone. He led me to his room.

I asked Oliver to explain his conduct toward Livia during, din- ner. "You weren't with her this afternoon, were you, Oliver?"

"Why, I was out saliing." "You didn't come ashore, by any chance, and join her?"

"Of course not, father. If Livia's upset about anything. I had nothing to do with it. I've tried to make this rela- tionship between the three of us as conganint as I could.
