CHAPTER 11I
SYNOPSIS `
Janet Phillipe nadls herself left
out of things when her wealthier
friend's in Bay City come home
from their finishing, schools and
colleges. Priscilla Leigh '— at
the moment interested in Janet's
old friend Gord''onl • Keit--ie mak-
ing herself disagreeable, • Gordonhas just broken a date with Janet
to go to a dinner at Priseilla'e.
Jim Phillips, Janet's brother, has
run into the paamp t'ed Howard
Leigh and Helen Sanders on the
golf links. Jim is snubbing as golf
„per for the shimmer and offers to
give Miss Sanders lessomis. Al-
though he doesnrt like her, he is
fascinated Meanwlhiile, Js a n et
goes to the apartment of her sis-
ter Berenice. Bereniioe has just
paid off !her bridge losses and
asked her guests of 'the -after_
noon to leave before her ,husband
Bill comes home and sees the
highball glasses.
The moment the door closed be-
hind her tnvsend's; Beriewice began
emptytrig ash trays and disposing
of hmghbal1 glasses, "Would You
mind earryin'g these ginger ale bot -
ties ' out to the' trash barrel in the
bald', Janet?" she asked. "I dant
dare leave .them tying around the
apartment. Bv11's a regular Sherlock
Holmes at 'spotting evidence."
Janet telt a little, •sick. "Don't you
think it's awfully cheap to do things
behdndl Bill's' back?" she asked when
she returned..
,
-"If Bibi weren't se unt'easonlabie I
wouldn't have to," muttered ' Bere-
nice,' hastily putting the pereola'tor
OIL
She was' a small, curved person
with a dimple in her left :cheek and
skin, like a gardenia. Her eyes were
red -brown: too And she had extrava-
gant blacktastes'• and +lovely little
feet and hands. TO Janet, who was
taller and whose black hair did not
curl, Berenice Auld always seemed
absurdly ,childish, in spine of the
three years' differemsce in their ages.
"Bibi is sweet When we ere alone
together," admitted ' Berenice and
sighedt. "No one could 'be sweeter,
but be's so drr fully narrow."
Janet's voice was unsteady. "You
arren't a very' striking advertisement
for love in a ectttaae.• I Mean you
were so in love with Bill I Used to
envy you.' Now all the icing seems
to have "Come off." -the wedding cake,
of .haarit?„
She did .not know aetly wlhy,
but ---she needed desperately to be
Reassured about many things) Which
until recently it, had, never occurred
to her to doubt. But there was noth-
ing reassuring in the -bitterness which.
thardlen'ed Berenice's? piquant face so
,11h+at all at onee-she looked years old-
er.
"Love's a lot of phooey, • Janet,"
she said in a -curt, disillusioned
voice. "It's' .^the honey with which
nature baits the• trap. For heaven's
sakee take. me -for an example, or.
Mother, so far as that goes', and
don't be the kind of - saps we've
been!"
"I don't bebtevb ..Ildother regrets
having ..rried a poor man!" cried
Janet' breathlessly, hecaaae even to
think starch a'••thing •was as' -if a :fist
had Lauded en her thea rt.
• "'Listen, :Janet"..:. isaid-- ;Berenice;
looking intense, you don't' bade to
tell me that Mother's swell at mak-
ing the best of a bad bargain, but
don't kid y'.aurself- I d'onft care how
with ampther thump a, slender .plat-
ter of warmed.over 'beans. "You're
lucked the said ho Janet. "We're
sewing out of a tin can, as usual."'
Berenice sniffed. "I'll says she's
lucky. ` Notting on her mind except
what dress she'll wear to the donee
tonight Single girls have all the
Huck-"
B 11 seowled, "As you've mention-
ed before."
Janet glancedl from Ball's lowering
black • eyes to Berenice's flushed
cheeks and she swallowed paint-W.1Y-
"I ga'ess I'll run on," she stam-
mered.
"You can't be blamed for getting
out before we start throwing things,"
said Bili, The corners of his:. mouth
turning down like elampst. ,
• "Yes,"' '• said Berenice,, pushing a
chair violently up to the table: •
Janet left them glaring 'at' each
other acrose•••the narrow expanse of
the d+inette,•as• if it were a No Man's
land lined with ,the barbed wire of
their Hostility.
* * * •
Anne Phillips walked home from
work that afternoon. . The building
iu r, which she Lived was a three -
storied brick structure with tw•o
flats' to a floor. It had been built in
the drew before real estate men con-
sidered it imperative to utilize every
available foot of ground for -income
'purposes, and stood well back from
the street 'with a neat lawn' in front
and a deep back yard. Each flat had
a 'Mtge front and back . pored but
there were no elevators or incinera-
tors in the building.
"I know dt dates me," Anne ad-
mitted to her friends,-, "but I'd. rather
climb stairs and rim out to the al-
ley with, 'trash then to give yup my,
old-fashioned' big kitchen and my
porch boxes." •
Anne's flower boxes lined, the rail-
ings on both • •porchaes of her flat:arid
kept her busy nine mobrihs in the
year. It was true she managed' to
have something in bloom -from
early spring to late fall, and she
even grew radishes and lettuce and
shallots in ,the box by the kitchen
door.
Old Mr. Jacoby was .sitting on
the front stoop reading the after-
noon paper when Anne came up the
walk. He wag .sreventy, a withered
little old gentleman with a courtly
moonier. He "bathed," as he ex-
pressed it,' in two neat housekeeping
rooths in the basement and looked
after the furnace is,;, the winter and
the lawn in the sumuner;
"Good evening, Miss Anne," he.
cathed; out. "Warnre'r today, ain't it?.
'Ought to be fine for therh Shasta
daisies of yours." •
Anne smiled,- -• "Anti for your rlieu..
m'atfam."
"Mae," hre. said, "it's not so " g+eod. ▪ •
We can look for rain within tvventy-
foun' hours."
Anne chuckled. "I'11' carry my
umlbreIla tonborrow,"
Mr: Jacoby claimed that his trick
kneewas' an infallible barometer of
weather conditions. .Same 'of the
younger generation in the building
made. fun of - his prognostications,
bit not Anne. She could never
get the tthe date she had been in when
she moved .herr fatherless little breed
into the flat, a daze in which nothing
seemed real to herr except .that raw
new , grave where she had buried
her carefree youth. ' 3t was Mr. Ja-
coby • who brought up ,a 'huge bowl
of bot..sage which he.-.had.,..made..
himself, ignoring with fine courtesy'
the tears which slid down Anne's
wan cheeks as •she sat there at the
kitchen• table in her new widow's',
Janet left them glaring at each other.
much you love a man, after ytou've
been married to him a year or so
you wonder where you ever got the
idea that love makes up for every-
thing." .......
"Hullo," said Bill gruffly, tossing
ti's hat over on the "overstuffed
couch and seowldng •whten it landed
on apile of gayly colored magazines'
and slid to the floor.
"Hello," said Beremd.oe, putting a
plate of • sliced breed 'down on the
table with an ungentle thump.
"Janet, I didn't see yours" exeIadmr-
ed•Bill, his face lighting. "How's my
nice 11'1 si•stier•?"
"All right, I guess," murmured
Jatt.et dmbiouslyl,
All the -members of Berenice's
Mindy 'Were 'fond of Bill Carter. He
was a big, self-oontee1oud young
chap with thick bleak thou; a lock
ppf which was ' continently falling
'drown: over laic eyes. When he smiled
be had an engaging boyish )otmk which
offset his protruding jaw and the
stabbora line of his inouth.
"Going- to feed With us?" he
asked.
Janet shook her 'beads. "I' ba've to
go but to the Club foo' Jim."
_Mil wag staring at the table on
tp 1s, Be et ee had, just duetted

weeds, Janet on her' Ian, Berenice
'clinging to her arm, ;limn trying to
be manly ,though be was only ten.
"Don't worry about the future,"
said Mr. Jacoby then: "God will
give you strength to ,meet each day
as it comes."
It was trite counsel, and this, in-
tellectual age le dis+posled to jeer'' at
such simple faith as Mr. Jacoby's,
yet it ")mad contorted Anne Phillips.
It still com4artecil hem '
She was snni.ltng when she climbed
the stairs to the stecond floor and
unlocked her door. "Anybody home?"
she cabled' out, herr usual greeting.
"Just see," came Janet's clear
youtnig voice froom ;the 'fart'heet regions
of the flat.
"'Hello, d'eares't," Anne murmured,
reaching for the apron s'he., kept
hanging on the pantry door to sap
over the sattert black cr'epte dlress
which she wore to the stare,
"Hello,
Muller," said Janet. "Wale
en 'out and cool ,off. Supper's ready
except dile tea, and there's no use
cradling the day till Jim oleins I
was g'o34 out atter hint but he tele-
phoned that bed drive in, with (sloth."

listless manner M. which her Jong
straight limbs were disposed. Anne
Phillips felt Ore .dawn of uueaeiness.
It was unlike Janet to droop.
"Tired?" asked Annie, trying. not
to sbbuind like the overanxious mother
who .nagsi her children to exaspera-
tion by an excess ant ,gaticatude
"A little," admitted) Janet. •
Her mother `waited with that un-
easy spot inside her steadily grow-
ing but, whatever .troubled her child,
she was' not ready' to discuss it.
"Hare a hard day?" asked Janet.
"No amore than usual," said Anne
and laughed. "Mns. Hemmy Leigh
was in looking for a dinner dress.
I turned the stoell over for her, but
nothing suited." -'
"It makes• me sdek; your having to
grin and bear peeph3 v like thatl"
cried. Janet. "It woad) be; different
if you weren't a hundred times more
refined than Priscilla Leigh or her
mother will: -ever be!"
Anne flung her daughter- a startled
glance. "I don't mind "being patron-
ized by Jennie Leigh, Janet.. I knew
-thea ..why, she lived. With 'her 'folks•

thought • it polite to pass 'the tooth-

and that's why' she earl. keep from

that I may have been balsa) to the
purple, but it's she who's, wearing it
now, tea .ba."
Janet winced. "And I used to'
'think that breeding and the quality
of your grains are -what comets," she.
remarked bitterly.
"They are," said her smoother.
"Oh, • no, 'they're not," protested
Janet. "Nb one -cares chow vulgar

"You could' have married him,
