lliei*Ce*peclall> at night.
With wonderful delicacy Harper
Carleton rentained away thru this
hot spell Hut each day he *.-nt me
flowers, bonk- and often Re* for
the children With them he would
send little notea of sympathy He
told me that when it be earn* cooler
and I felt that I * ouhl receive him
to let him know. He alwajs »»gu*l
himself, "Your very good friend,’
and I felt that he wh*. niy frieud
I was sure in my self pity that
1 needed a friend jusl such ft one
hj~ Harper was proving to he l
wonder why w*> women never real
Ifo how dangerous self pity. i« It
Is one of the most insidious foes to
our peace of mind. It warps our
Judgment and causes u-< to do and
snv things we would never think of
doing or -zytng
So wh*n I lad .spent two long,
hot. evenlnts alone, I called Harper
t arleion **n the telephone. and
ticked him to ronie up for a while
• I am lonely and and |.r< «*ed It
1» so hot l have no ambition to go
out. and I am too lazv to entertain
If it ton I bore y'OU. come and chat j
v nh m* a bit "
■ Hove me dear lady,** he replied
•11 s *h* one thing 1 should like
to do" He said it so heavily that
I w glad 1 had called him. and 1
Rt ono gave Martha orders to serve
some jerd drinks to us »n the rl
ar.rn
This is good of you," 1 -aid to
him "I was selfish to ask you to
come up here in this heat Hut I
was so bored with my own lodety,
an sn k of my thought*, that 1 really
could not help Inflicting myself on
the most generous person 1 knew,
and 'hat p* rson happened to h<
Harper Carleton ”
Yutl flutter me " he responded,
"hm j«*k'ng aside, f want to thank

as V(r»rth.s came out withs frosted
pitcher of <*ome sort of fruit cup
He latd the magazine on a table
beside the swing th which T w*i Sft

While Martha fussed around wi*h
the classes, etc, | picked It up and
Idly turned the |e*\e* Almost the
first fory I noticed by Phvllls
Ijmwsou "Tempted and Tried' was
her < option A little pang of envy
seized me. as T thought how very
quickly her work had received rec
ta ognltlnn H probahlv made Robert
torv proud of her Then I wondered
If Harper, too. was Interested In her
because of ber success I wa mr
piped that a little feeling almost of
Jcalousv accompanied the thought
But 1 realized In a moment that if
was not in the least Jealousy of
Harper, rather of Phyllis Uiwon'*
talent, and her power to interest the
two nmn most intimately associated
with me, my husband and my
friend
After Martha lef» tis Harper ac
ranred my pillows and insisted !
make myself comfortable in Mi*-*
as inf while he sat beside me tn a
large Wicker chair.
"Hv the wav. how would you lil o
me to read this last story nf Mrs
I.aw son's'"' he a„<»k*»d “I bought
this particular magazine yesterday
hemtise 1 saw Mr. THavion lnnln--
H and I knew if he found it inter
eating l probably should "
"Oh, j'e»; It la one of Robert's
favorite magazines," I rejoined us
carelessly as I could "What’s thnt
story of Mrs. Uwton's about"
"1 don’t know I only skimmed I*
over on my way up Tint H result
to me like a leaf out of h« r own
life The woman In the story, rit
V (.«ed, fain in love with ** nun led
man and he with Ijer. -The mans
wife Is not companionable. Hut
they are both too conventional to
allow their friendship to go bevond
the platonic Mage Just the same
It brings misery to the wife, who
Is rather narrow and doesn't believe
In platonism. Shall I read it to
you " '
"Yes. pteasfl’” ! was interested In
I spite of the heat.
I lav ha< k Among the pillow and
listened while Harper f» ad To mv
overwrought imagination every sen

« commonly catted a "ladies' man ’’
He was ro sedate, so dignified that
he seemed not at all the kind of a

Robert came home soon after Har
per left ami ail the evening I looked
upon him In the most pe. uhariv |m

Hut v* h» n I spoke of Hruce an ;*nxt

Just as we were about to go up !

and remarked quite casually
