Barry opened his cl caret caie. Cecily, tired of look in e at Constance and her chauffeur and Bea. looked again out of the window. "No, thank you," ahe aaid. He lighted his own. "If you smok ed, " h aald, "I'd think it jolly and friendly; so, consistently, I'm tre mendously glad that you don't." Constance and Hea were both smok ing like real comrades and becominelv by now, so the best Cecily could do was to make fun of them. "It aeems so old-fashioned for women to smoke, nowadays," ahe said. It didn't ring right, and she knew it and could only hope desperately that it had not sounded as if she wers foraging for praise. "But yon art old-fashioned," he said. "You are as old-fashioned as dignity, and good manners, and loyalty, and' the hesitation was just percep tible "lo vs." Since never before had he so ranch na mentioned love in her connection to Cecily, it could only be supposed that either Bea or Constance and her chauffeur had put him up to it. She continued gazing out of the window, "Or as Billikens, or cruets, or chaperons?" she said. B, for Bea, nnd two CV one for Constance and one for her chauffeur. He laughed aimreciatively. Yon are ns impersonal, he said, "as a librar ian or a lily the two most impersonal things on earth. I like 'em. They arc cool and calming. You are cool, but well, not always calming, lou nerer say, hy am it lne easy lean into Eersonalities. It's fun when you won't; ut it trips me up and throws me headlong. You know. You should have said, when I told you that you were the first real girl friend I'd ever had, 'Why am I?' or at least, 'Am I real ly?' and given me an opportunity to step along in my conversational stride." 'But thnt wasn t what I thought. just then." He pretended to sigh wltn relief, l was holt nfraid you'd answer that with, 'Is that what girls always say when you make that speech?' No. I can t trap you Into the obvious, can l, no matter how banal I am? Please do tell me now what vou thought when you didn t think, 'Am I really V "I thought." she answered. "Oh, well one hypocrisy doesn't make a hypocrite, nor one lib a libber. He laughed again, loss appreciative I'm not saying thot I haven t played with girls. I'm not saying that I haven t thought I hnd a bod case, once or twice and for a short time. I am saying that I've never before liked a girl, thoroughly and unreservedly. Lik ing n much more important than love, you Know. "No." Cecily disputed brazenly. That's like saving that the alphabet is more important than poetry. One haa to be learned before the other can be approached that's all. People have to be friends before they can be lovers. Love is liking intensified, perfected." "Wrong as wrong!" he declared. "But I'm glad you think so. Oh, boy, but I'm glad you think so!" And with that, and notning turtner except;, "Shall we go?" he was up. and hold ing her coat, and in a great hurry to be out ot the place. (To be uominuea) 1. the ;eil him with telephone calls and ' .
