"Dooley, If you sent Spang a registered letter telling him about me, It would be forwarded, wouldn't It?" "I dont know much about army routine, Jill.

Personally, I think your Spang an extraordinarily wise and decent young man. He was taking care of you.

That thought was heavy on her mind and heart as she drove the station-wagoDave did not through the town. know, as yet, that Richard McFarlane bad come back. Sharing the weight of this new problem with him would be a relief, though not kind to Dave. She could not talk to Richard's father. The old man had withdrawn into a savage mood of gloom, and her attempts to draw him out of it had only irritated him; she could not hurt him any more. Into Well, that lets you out, Dooley. He cant expect to be taken back, after & this." "I don't think he expects it He didnt talk about it. He was very casual. You know Richard, that Impervious, arrogant way he had? He hasn't changed."

I'm so sorry for John I. I ache all over." Chin up, Dooley. This puts an end to all the uncertainly at least all the unease that has been making you unhappy so long. "I wish I could see the end," she said. "But it's perfectly clear, he arThen sharply, "You dont gued. mean that you want him back now?" She shook her head. "He shamed me. Dave. I know that I was young and silly. I suppose I bored him after the first excitement of being in love with me cooled into commonplace responsibility, into the dreary chore of having to clothe and feed me, having the babies coming all that. "Dooley, you're not going to blame yourself for this man's worthlessness, his utter lack of decency or honor! "I have to blame myself, Dave. Another woman might have made a man of Richard, might have made him want to be a man, at least. "Richard McFarlane had every He threw his, chances chance. away.

However, it is a matter of practical experiment that a full length coat, even though it has rather narrow shoulders and sleeves, can be made into a new shurtie coat with fashion features such as the full back and new, wide sleeves. But how is this done, you ask? Well, by clever piecing, of course. You may use a tweed coat, if you wish, but if you are still somewhat of an amateur in this business of sewing, I'd suggest working with a solid color that is easier to match in the intricate job uf cutting and fitting together properly. 1 do-n- Preparation of Material Precedes Cutting Its no fun working with a dusty piece of fabric. Do have it cleaned first, as this will make it easier to see just what you have for working. And another thing, if the old coat has faded, its perfectly possible to have the material dyed either commercially or at home before you do any cutting at all.

This was something they must each bear alone. She with her harried anxieties and mortification, and this proud, stricken old man with his bitter memories. She would talk to Dave now, she decided. He was sitting in his little cuddy in the bank, when she went In, the niche where he met farmers and handled crop loans and mortgages. He looked up at her with a twinkling smile and sprang quickly to his feet, to pull out a chair for her. "Sit down, Dooley. How's Jill? "Shes quite unhappy, but that will pass. The arm is healing nicely. Are you busy, Dave? Will you be free soon?" "I'm free now if you need me. Something wrong, Dooley? I want to talk to you.

That hurt, too, his of her sensitive understanding mood. Dare Is Told About Richard The next move. Dave said In a calm, business-lik- e tone, is for you to get a divorce. She shivered little. "That's just it, Dave. I can't do it "What do you mean, you cant? If twenty-fiv- e years of callous desertion Isn't legal grounds for divorce, I don't know what would be." "Of course I have grounds," she agreed, "but Richard isnt Richard now. He's Captain Roger Mackey of the air corps. Think what it would mean! A nation-wid- e sensation. A military investigation. A cheap story to spread in black headlines in the cheap press. Humiliation for me and for Richard's old father. And for Ric and Jill Dave, I dont even dare to think of what it would do to Ric and Jill! "They arent children, Dooley. Theyre adults and strong enough to bear the truth.
