Instead Elinor intended to keep In such close touch with her husband that she would be able to see Inside his mind at all limes, In the beginning this had not been difficult. Peters ambitions and desires were like an open book. He had alsipbeen complete-vulnerabto her emotional- le Peter loved a girl for '.vhat she was rather than such things as downcast fluttering eyelashes against a damask cheek. Not that Elinor was unattractive physically. She had the happy combination of both Intelligence and health. Color glowed in her cheeks. Her eyes were gray and far apart beneath an unlurrowed forehead. Peter considered her his Ideal girl. He had gone with her steadily during his last two years at California and upon his graduation they had become engaged. Meeting her as the only daughof .the ter stamped her with superiority lit the mind of' the struggling law student. And, eince he was working his way through college, he had not much time to think of romance. He was almost absurdly grateful to Elinor- - for inviting him to Sunday night suppers even when her father was not present. Other boys had learned to evade this hospitality on her part, which was tpe only way Elinor ever had a date. But in this case everything turned out just as she had planned. The time would come when Peter Rlsdons name would be a famous one and she had no intention of letting anyone, certainly not a little snip of a secretary, come between them. The answer was to take a brief course in shorthand and beat that blue-eyewench at her own game. It did not occur to Elinor that Peter might not want her In his office. She considered herself always right in her decisions just as her father was always right in his. They completely dominated the unimportant wife and mother who was grateful when they noticed her. Only Mrs. Marchmont suspected that life would be one long Instance of Elinor being right in a big way if she married Peter. Peter seemed to see Elinor as a superwoman, which, of course, she was, her mother admitted loyally. She was virtuous and brilliant like her father. She was also blonde like him. Who could ask for more?. sighed the darkhaired, little woman who had been ignored for so long. Only Peter seemed to recognize in her the delicate charm which had been almost obliterated by her life as Mrs. Marchmont. It would be nice to have Peter In the family.

However, one shouldnt have thoughts like that. One should be grateful for such a fine girl, who had never given her parents a moments worry. Feeling guilty of disloyalty, ahe spent the afternoon preparing an unusually good dinner. Cooking was one of the things she could and did do.
