Per- naps she WM waiting for an ap- and until her young guest was acclimated and at ease. Or again, the may nave decided to postpone any discussion until she had decided how deserving the clinic, and Its tivis, might be.

Ctynthia waa just as glad to have a little time too. She had determined to put the Walt ot her mind. So far, she nad succeeded. She felt aa though she nad shed one layer of net life to put on a fresher, newer one. Almost like the renewal dt spring, Norman had laid.

The big colonial house, although tucked away from the main line ot waa not without other guests. People Kept dropping in, sometimes at the cocktail and tea hour, or again during the day, lingering on into the evening for bridge or chess ot a game of ping- pong in the large recreation room on the third floor, which Norman told her nad oeen Ms and Jim's playroom when they were boys. "Tour family may live the country," Cynthia remarked, "but i can't tee how they would ever have a chance to be lonely. They have ao many neighbors and "Dad draws people like a magnet," Norman said. "And everyone admires my mother.

They know what a remarkable person sue la. Par it'a Mom who runa things. Dad retired quite a few years ago. He doesn't want anyone to know It, but a heart condition made him take life easier. His friends do Know if ibe thinks they that's another reason they stop by to chat and get his opinion and ad- ivice and keep his mind off himself." i "It's so different from the farm 'where 1 grew up." Cynthia admitted this aa being her reason for finding Pleasantridge quite gay in contrast, let it waa not a surface gaiety; it waa genuine and warm.

Everything, in spite of being so well organiMd, waa kept on a aim- pie scale, "Ob, Mora doM lota of actual hard labor herself," Norman bragged, when Cynthia explained something ot this contrast with the (ana in Indiana, where work began at daylight and lasted until it became too dark to continue the many chorea. "You ought to see her in overalls helping bring a calf into the world, or personally tending a nelfer or mare when one of the anunala cornea down with some virus. Mom takes great pride in her livestock. She has experimented with the development ot a rare new breed. They are a croas between the beat characteristics ot the stocky English Shorthorn and the humpbacked Indian Brahman." Norman pointed out one exceptionally fine bull yearling; deep- chested, cherry-red in color, with its odd, yet distinguishing small bump.

He told Cynthia that it bad won several prizes, was worth at least twelve thousand dollars. She waa properly impressed. Though she confessed she preferred the ordinary shy, sweet- faced young calves. She could not imagine Norman's mother assisting at the birth of one. Or wearing overalla ot blue denim.

Set she imagined that Elizabeth Brandt would still maintain that queenly air. Cynthia had aa opportunity to wear oer new dress. There waa a more formal party Saturday evening, with about sixty invited gueata. She did not have to wonder tt the dress was appropriate and eyea tow ner that. And she must have measured up to Mrs.

Brandt's yardstick ot approval and passed whatever testa her hostess might have bad in mind. For after the last guest had departed, Mrs. Brandt explained that they had been invited tor the express purpose of meeting Cynthia, "Oh, dear, I'm just as glad I didn't know that!" Cynthia felt the warm color flooding her face. She hoped that these friends and neighbors had not been asked in to give Norman's newest girl the once-over, aa Rat would call ft. Then she felt rather silly aa Ml mother went on to explain.

"I wanted them to meet jrov because ot those ideas in regard to your clinic 1 mentioned In my note. 1 can safely aay, fro sure, that all of them were properly pressed with you, Cynthia." So she nad paased the teat. Cynthia wondered what Walt would aay at the clinic being called bersl -I'm afraid it'a too late," BlUa- feeth Brandt added, "to dlaeuM thla matter tonight. Suppose we nave a talk in my study tomorrow after Norman you back to town. Dinner on Sunday la at "And ot course, my dear," added further, when Cynthia said that would be agreeable, "we hope you will be coming often to Pleasantridge." The smile gave the was so friendly and sincere that Cynthia waa made to feel that had succeeded In winning over Norman'a mother, too.

"1 told you they'd you," Norman said, after both his parents nad said good night and retired, to leave the two young people by the big fireplace In which only. the erabera of toga now smoldered. 'Tm glad tt your ttfce me personally," Cynthia said. "Only 1 must admit it's been, something ot a strain to feel that I've been on approval. It 1 waant all right, 1 gather, I waa to be back.

And the clinic would shipped along with me." "Now, don't feel that way!" put a band on one of her made her look Into his eyes. "Mom has given more time and thought to these Ideas ot hers than anyone would believe possible. When she goes into anything, she does it thoroughly. she has decided to adopt the clinic aa another project, 1 assure you she will take It on a lifetime lob. So you cant blame her for wanting to make certain it would be worth while.

"You'll be more pleased after i your discussion with Mom tomor- row," Norman predicted. Then he dropped this serious subject.
