There were so many things Cherry had yet to learn anouc wis jmns husband of hers. Her husband! The girl's smile iMme a dreamy sort of radiance. hi esueht a glimpse of herself in ill mirror nnd stared, fascinated. Was that what love did to you? She seemed an entirely different Mfion than she had been yesterday, fit worn-out dressing gown caught itr eye and suddenly the smile be , a rinnline laugh. Of course lie was a different person. She ft! Mrs. Daniel Phillips!. "Ob, I'm so happy!" Cherry aang llond. "I'm so happy!" She whirled in a dashins pirouette and flung berself upon the bed. - Each morning at home Cherry tid ttarred the dny with fruit, hot mill and steaming coffee. Usnnlly tier were brought to her bedside on i tray. Sarah would be there to poor the coffee and ask if every llinit was as it should be. Sarah wold bring a quilted satin break fiit coat and slip it about the girl's ihoulders to keep her warm while ihe ate. Sarah, bless her! Where was she iDd what was she doing now? What were Cherry's mother nnd father thinking of the way her daughter had run off the night before? Were the servants whispering and won dering what had happened? Did others outside the houso know about it? For nn instnnt the girl felt a pang of guilt. Her mother would be forrring. Crying perhaps at this Terr moment. Cherry loved her mother. She loved her fnther, too when he was not roaring out orders n frifhtening her. Perhaps she could write a note. Cherry's chin raised and set In a firm line. No indeed! If she wrote they would imagine she wns asking ivigitciiios. 43UO I'UUlU UUb UU it! ' The dainty platinum watch on the rirl'i wrist reminded her it was powing late. Almost 10:30. There vonld be an hour and a half at lent before Dan telephoned. ' Another note for her mental mem orandum: she would have to buy lome clothes.

Cherry was flushed and her eves bright as she rend rha uat So everyone knew! Her father and mother must have seen that para graph. Well, they would understand now that she had meant what she sain: Lost in these thotirhta PharKV scarcely noticed when the waitress returned witn her order. She re membered presently, drank the orange juice and coffee and nibbled at the toast. Then she paid her uui ana departed. Sho went directly to the hotel, anxious to hear from Dan. It seemed a long while before the telephone rang and his voice came over the wire. "Hello. That you. Cherry?" "Yes, Dan. I've been waiting for you. "How are you, baby? Sorry I couldn't give you a ring earlier, but 1 ve Deen chasing all over town. Listen, dear, we'll have to call off that lunch date. "Oh, Dan!" "It's bum luck, but there's to way out of it. I'm parked out here at the airport and there's no telling when we'll get away. Those two girl flyers were due half an hour ago and we ll have to wait till they land or word comes they're down. It wasn't supposed to be my assign ment, but Groves is tied up at City nan. "But can't you?" "I can't do anything but stay here." Dan assured her. "I hate to disappoint you. honey, but I , can't help myself. Try to find some way to amuse yourself and we'll make up for It with a bang-up dinner party tonight, is that all right She made up her mind to go shop. Sing instead. There was less than . 10 in her purse, but all her life Cherry had made purchases on charge accounts. Besides she simply had to have a dress. If she went to Maison Madeleine she knew they would he glad to open an account tor her. She picked up purse and gloves and started for the door. On the way down in the elevator oar Cher ry revised her plans, brie remem bered Maison Madeleine was expen sive. No. she would go to Stanley's, the big department store. Miss Laeey in the French room was always so pleasant and helpful. Miss Lacey wns equal to the emergency. She greeted Cherry of- fusiveiy. Yes, she had seen the an nouncement of the marriage in the newspaper and thought it was ro mantic! An elopement of course. And what could he show the little bride today? Cherry had aet out Intending to be economical. A prictical woolen dny dress was what she wanted. Something becoming of course, but not fussy. Miss kacey, Beaming, whisked away to return with a frock of glowing spring green over her arm. Feather-weight to touch. Ex actly right in size. The price was $65. "I'm afraid." mumbled Cherry. "that's a little more than I wanted In nnv." Miss Lacey's brow lifted slightly. She said quickly that of course she hnd less expensive models. If Mrs. Phillips was interested in picking up a really remarkable hargain there was a little b ue novelty mixture When Cherry departed almost an hour later not only the blue novelty mixture but a printed 8IIK trocg sml half a dozen dainty garments of flesh silk were being packed Into a box to he delivered to the tllsmarn. The bin totaled R13.TH. She stopped at n drug store to huy perfumed soap and a jar m thA face cream she always used at home. Four dollars and fifty cents nn the cashier's check. Back in the hotel Cherry undressed, hathed and hurriedly made herself ready for din It was after five when she heard a quick rnp at the door. Cherry rushed forward, beaming. But la was not Dan Phillips at the other side of the door.
