SYNOPSIS: When Kittv Frew realizes that Oar, to whom the has been married a short time, is se cretly meeting Marge Crosby she ' is Iriglttened but determined to hold Gar. This trouble is too grave to tell her confidant, Oar's half-brother David. She befriends Oar's sister Carol, who has left home. Chapter 33 DANGEROUS GROUND "'VB been a fool, David," Kitty repeated. "Just because I had to turn my precious housekeeping over to Carleyl Why, David. I've even tried to flirt with you! That night at the concert it annoyed me because you wouldn't talk to me. Until David, it was funny, tho way the music got me." But there was no David there to answer because she was alone In the living-room of the little apart ment, thinking, excusing that Kitty Frew she'd com9 to be. "You see it's partly my fault. It goes back to that fuss I made at his mother's house. Poor Oar's afraid to tell me things that might make me angry. That's all it Is. And of courBe 1 don't care I mean about his taking Marge to the con' cert. Didn't 1 sit with you, there? And Gar would have been angry about that. And about the office well, maybe he did go back. Old Jonathan wouldn't call me up to say lio'd been mistaken about Gar's not coming In tor the rest of the day. He isn't Gar's boss to know everything he's going to do. Oh, Gar's all right I "Don't you see, David, that I've got to go on? 1 can't let myself suspect that everything Gar tells me Is is a lie! It iBn't, of course. I've got to keep Carley becauso Gar wants me to and I've got to go on being gay as It as It I were happy. And I'm going to be! This Is only what comes up between married people often little differ ences " And then Kitty would hold her head high as It to defy the David who couldn't hear her because bo wasn't there. But she was still frightened There were times when she shrank from Gar's caress, when her heart sank unreasonlngly at his home coming. - She never called him at his office. She never questioned him as to what had happened at the office or at rehearsals. When he told her she listened, thinking "This Isn't a lie." and bating her .. .... - -- self bocause she had to so reassure herself. When in the evening they went out with the others Bhe was reso lutely gay and kept herself from watching Marge and Gar. They were old friends, they'd known one another since they were children. And It was Marge's way to appro priate some one ot the men and Gar's way always to be charming to any woman he was with. Of course there was nothing between them! It was absurd, absurb Gar was hers. She did not call David, now, on tho telephone. She did not go to Dorcas' because there she might see him. She shrank from seeing him. He might guess the trouble she carried In her heart. She went to Carol's more fre quently. Carol needed her. The Russian "doo-dads" were not sell ing very well. She offered Carol a loan but Carol shook her head. "If It were your money, Kitty " "Well, Isn't It mine? What'B Gar'B Is mine!" Kitty laughed. "If he earned it. Don t you know!" Carol's question was sig nificant. "What do you mean?" And, In stantly, Kitty was frightened. Carol laughed. "Why, mother gives him money every lime lie goes to the house! She pays moBt of your bills. I saw a lot of them on her desk that day I had the row. He'd Just been there. Do you mean you didn't know It? Did you think you could live the way you do on what Gar earns If you can call It that?" Kitty bad the sickening sensa tion of the floor swaying beneath her. When she spoke her voice sounded queer, brittle. "I knew that that time. The bills had to be paid up, right away. We'd gono In a little too deep at Christmas time. Gar Just borrowed It. "Borrowed It!" Carol's retort was scornful. "No, thanks, I'd rather starve than use any money she may have given Gar." Well, she'd rather starve, too, than eat food bought by Mtb. Frew's money, thought Kitty hotly, helplessly. She remembered how easily Gar bad assured her that the bills had been paid. And she could do nothing. She had to go on, humiliated to her soul, beaten. That was it her fine satisfaction In their independence was a mockery, now, those days of careful budgeting a Joke..--- She had boasted to David that she wasn't afraid of Gar's mother. She was afraid. She pictured Gar going to her, every day, perhaps. Gar's mother was waiting, only bid ing her time until Gar realized bis mistake, keeping him . dependent upon her, feeding her sweet poison And what hurt her most of all were the little silences that came up between her and Gar, when, talking, all at once she'd know she was bordering on dangerous ground and break off abruptly. Did Gar notice how often it happened? Sally and Phil are going to bo married April second," she told him one evening. "Cnn you get away, Gar?" Sure as anything. You don't think I'd miss it, do you?" I'm her only bridesmaid. I'm to wear blue; she sent mo a sam ple." And then K(.tty stopped. "Get something good," Oar di rected. "Go to Felicia's and bavo it made." Mrs. Frew had her clothes mado at Felicia's, dangerous ground. At Isobel Peters' house one night, playing brldgo with Tubby and Isobcl.and Buck, she heard Isobel tell Tubby that Marge wos going abroad in April. Her heart gave a quick Involuntary leap ot Joy. If Marge went away antl stayed away a long time, It would be easier to straighten things out. And going to Bridgewater would help, too. She ordered tho blue bridesmaid's dress at Felicia's, as Gar had told her to. He was interested In every detail ot It. He appeared to anticipate their holiday as Joyously as ho did. And planning for it, talking about it lo Oar, going to Felicia's for repeated fittings of the blue dress helped Kitty put out ot her mind the tor ment she had suffered. One evening Gar was detained downtown. She decided that she would go lo Dorcas". She wasn't afraid of see ing David, now. Sho wanted to know about his book. , He must have had some word. She called Dorcas on the telephone. "I've Just turned the lock on my door, Kitty, but I'll let you In." ' Then the wouldn't see David. But she went to Ketchum Street, nevertheless. Dorcas was wearing tho old flan nel dressing-gown, the soft, heelloss slippers. Her appearance reminded Kitty of that night David had brought her to the house. Where's David?" Kitty asked, after an hour's casual talk. 'Out In the country." Dorcas' tone was short He'd gone, then, without a word to her! Kitty did not reason that David never called her, that all her meetings with him had come from her suggestion. Sho allowed .her self a little feeling ot hurt. Then at once It occurred to her that the book might have been rejected. David had gone to the little house to face down his disappointment. "Has he heard from those pub; Ushers?" she asked quickly. Dorcas smiled. "Yes. Didn't you know? Norwood Bent for him. Ho went to Now York last week." "Oh, then they've taken It?" Kitty's Joy brought Dorcas' glance levelly on her. "No, they turned It down. It was too sour. That's their exact word tor it. Probably it reflected David's atate of mind while he was writing it." The calmness of DorcaB' manner exasperated Kitty. A lot of help she wag to poor David. "If you'd If you'd stand by blm more " she began a llttlo Inco herently. "Oh, Dorcas, David needs you a lot! And he's too proud to let you see " "He doesn't need me," Dorcas said flatly, tonelessly. "But he does! Why, Dorcas, David's In lovo with you!" Dorcas laughed. "You talk like a goose, Kitty. You're the one who is blind! David never has cared for me, In tho way you mean. That's absurd. I might have made him, it I'd tried. But I wouldn't try. If he didn't, with out it We've talked It over. 1 could have taken what he had to give mo but I didn't choose to con tent myself with any halt-loaf. Now I see that I was' wise " "Oh, Dorcas, you're all wrong!" "Wrong?" Dorcas flared. Sho rose abruptly and stood over Kitty, her eyes angry. "Can you tell me honestly. Kitty, that you don't know that David Is desperately In love with you?" Wonyrioht. Jane Abbott) Doaa Kitty refuas the challenger Dorcas' atatement put, an unex pected complication into har friend ahio with David. "Overture Triumphal" Forrata "Rosary" - Nevin Mrs. H.
