Are you angry with me for something-- what is it?" ) "If you don't know, I won't tell you. The very idea of you, a child, quizzing Barry as to whom he had invited to his yachting party." Will you never learn?" he blurted out, so telling me, after all, why he was angry with me. "But 1 didn't quiz him!" I ans- wered spiritedly, recalling that fleet- «ing expression 1 had seen on George's face, and, taking courage, "Mr. Barry was the one who did the guizzing! If you remember, he ask- ed about the 'lovely Julia'" Then, as he didn't answer, I added: "He seemed to think you should know all about her." George flushed angrily, "You insist upon drawing con- clusions. Do so," and, taking his hat and stick, he left me. A Lonely Dinner, At first, 1 thought I couldn't eat anything.

' In spite of my loneliness, and my jealousy- yes, I was horribly jealous--I enjoyed it. going to bed hungry? George never did anything so foolish; he was prob- ably over to the casino dining with his friends. Was it ever going to be possible for me to please George" I wondered. Was there another man living who would be 50 unjust. He was unjust Then, too, aside from being jealous, I was puzzled because of his attitude toward others, toward Julia Collins, and toward Merton Gray. Merton was a very handsome, attractive man; had George no fear that if he openly let me see his liking for Julia Collins that I would retaliate in kind, or was he so little in love with me that he didn't care? Mother and father would he shock- ed I know had they the slightest idea of my struggle after happi- ness. They were old-fashioned, and would not be able to understand this new way people had of living, hus- band going his way; the wife hers. Did he know before we left Nar- ragansett that Julia Collins was to be with him almest as soon as we got to Newport; and did that explain her eovert syeers that day when we bade her goodbye? Oh, how 1 wished | could understand all these things that so bothered me. If Mer- ton Gray had been older 1 could have taken my troubles to him 1 thought, but he was little older than I.
