GETTING DRESSED
FOR THE WEDDING
Mrs. Pulltzski. who had made
over Mrs. Banks' wedding dress for
Kay, had Insisted on coming to the
house that afternoon to be sure that
all was in order.
"Good grief," said Mr. Banks to
the world at large, "this is a swell
time to find out If It fits her. What's
the woman going to do7 btarc maK
lng alterations now? Do you peo
ple realize It's a auarter to three
and that there's a wedding in hour
and forty-live minutesv"
Any allusion to the passage of
time always called forth a protest
trom Ben and Tommy.
"Gee, Pops, you might think it
took us an hour to areas.
"Why, I can be dressed in ten
minutes." Tommy stretched out
languidly on his bed. "It won't take
me ten minutes to get Into that old
fool suit."
Mr. Banks pusned down his tem
per with an effort. This was no
time for a test of strength. "You
two boys have a big responsibility
this afternoon," he said with feign
ed calm. "You're the only two ush
ers who know our family. You're
taking our car and you're to get
there by lour o'clock'
"Well be there, Pops. Don't wor
ry. Just relax."
Mr. Banks gave up and went to
his room to dress. Somehow he
felt alone and out of the picture.
Mrs. Banks was dressing in the
guest room which adjoined Kay's.
He made his preparations moodily.
He was not nervous, as he had
feared he might be, only confused
and 111 at ease. While he regarded
himself gloomily in the mirror Tom
my burst Into the room.
"Hey, Pops, I haven't anything
but soft shirts. These stiff collars
won't fit on soft shirts. What am
I going to do?"
If Mr. Banks had had a blunt In
strument in his hands he would un
doubtedly have used It. As It was
he merely stared at Tommy with
out affection.
"What size do you wear?"
"Fourteen and a half."
"Well, wear fifteen and a half,
so that's that. Hasn't Ben got
a shirt without a collar?"
"Yeah, but hc-s got it on."
"Didn't you have an evening
shirt?"
"Yeah. Mom put It In the wash.
Can't I wear a soft shirt, Pops?"
"No," shouted Mr. Banks.
"Well, what'll I do?"
"Take the car and get one," yell
ed Mr. Banks. "Good grief. It's
quarter after three. You and Ben
aro due at the church in forty-five
minutes. Have I got to tnink for"
But Tommy was gone. Mr. Banks
resumed dressing, when he had
finished he surveyed himself in the
long mirror and found the sight
riimer pleasing, jvoc many 0 nis
friends could wear their old cuta
ways at their daughters' weddings.
If he didn't move Impulsively It was
perfect.
"I got It," Tommy panted from
the door of the bedroom. I had
to move some. A cop stopped me,
but I talked him out of it. Gee,
what a ride." Tommy's door slam
med. Mr. Banks shuddered. Hei
walked uncertainly to the head of
the stairs.
"Hi. Pons, this kind of a shirt
has to have studs. Got any?" He
lelt himself going rigid again.
"You must have some. Your
mother gave you a set for your
evening shirt."
"I know Pops, i can't find 'em.
Must have gone to the wasn."
In his bedroom Mr. Banks pawed
vainly through the Jewel case. No
collar buttons.
His voice sounded strained and
unreal. "Listen, you've had two
months to think of this. You take
Ben to the church. Then go and
get your damn collar buttons and
swanow mem."
Tommy opened his mouth to pro
test at this Injunction, but he saw
an expression on his lather's lace
that made mm tnink better or it.
He went out, closing the door quiet
ly oenina mm.
A moment later Mrs. Hanks enter
ed the room and Mr. Banks for-1
got everything else. He knew that
ne would never De ame to remem
ber what she was wearing. He knew
also that, to his dying day, he
would never forget her as she stood.
framed in the doorway, waiting for
his annroval slim, graceful and I
lovely. All the beauty of her own
wedding day lay upon her, tem
pered by a serenity and dignity that
made Mr. Banks feel suddenly shy.
tone saw tne startled admiration
In his face. "Don't say any more, I
darling." she said. "You like It. I
saw that. You'll spoil It if you try
to tell me why. And for heaven's!
sake don t muss my hair. '
riay is ready." announced Mrs.
Pulitzskl. They filed down the hall
after her. She paused before Kay's
door and threw it open dramatical
ly. Kay was standing In the middle
of the room, her train and veil care
fully arranged behind her, no long
er a brown-haired girl of five feet
four, but a princess from some
medieval court. Her head was
thrown back slightly and she watch
ed the effect upon her courtiers
with the calm assurance of one
born to the cloth of gold.
Mr. Banks would not have been I
surprised If she had extended her
nano ior mm to kiss. His eyes be
came suddenly blurred. Good grief,
this would be a hell of a time for
him to start crying. What was the
matter witn everyoody today?
"You're wonderful, Kitten. Wonderful."
She squeezed his hand. "Thanks.
Pops." For an instant her eyes
met his not as a daughter but as
a woman, -mow, on to the slaugh

He looked at his watch. "It's five
alter iour.
The cars must be here " said Mr
Banks. "I ordered both of them
to be here at four sharp." She!
looked out Kay's window Into the
empty street.
I'll call the garage." said Mr
Banks. "I'll give them a piece of
my mina. jjeiore ne was hall

the receiver with his hand. "It's

They're down at the station and
there aren't any taxis. Well, what'll

"Tell them Tell them Oh, tell
them to iumn m the lake nnrt

If Mrs. Banks hod done a hand

more. "Ellie can't be disturbed at
