Chapter S MARGE OPENS FIRE SHE had no time to regret their coming before they were around her, acknowledging Gar's Introduc tion!. The waiters were dragging Dp another table. "The Travers' dinner was a drip," Diana was telling Oar. "And what luck to have come here," Marge finished. "If we're not spoiling anything?" Her eyes went to Oar's and this assured her promptly that their Interruption was most happy. Red Harding and Tubby Wllktns when he claimed her for a dance. "Aren't they a good crowd! Happy I" And she whispered back that she was happy. But her feet were ach. lng with fatigue and her eyes were growing heary with the need for sleep. When Tubby suggested that they drive out to the Rainbow Gardens to finish the night properly Kitty threw Gar a look of agonized en. treaty. "Lear us out, Tub. Kit Isn't used to our pace, yet We're going home." A faint smile, half-pitying, moved Marge's lips, not directed at any one In particular for her eyes were carefully lowered. Rut Kitty saw It and, a little Indignantly, read Its meaning. She forgot It, however, almost at once. The waiter bad put a check at Gar's elbow. Forty-two dollars. Gar wrote his father's name non. chalantly across the bottom ot the slip of paper and dropped a Are dollar bill over It. "Oar, wasn't that charge awful!" she asked when they were alone. "For dinner and the rest? We got off cheap, Kltl Tired, sweet? Here, put your head down " She pot her head on Gar's shonV der but she thought ot the forty-tw dollars. This Is the life, Kit," Oar whispered when he olalmed her for a dance. appeared as delighted to see Gar as be had been to greet them. Red lipped Into the chair next to Kitty and Tubby took the one on the other side. The orchestra had begun to play. Marge turned to Gar who was next to her, her lips shapings mute ques. tlonlng and at once he was on his feet, his hand reaching for here, Red claimed her at once. "Shall we do tbls, Kitty?" But It was not like dancing with Gar. Kitty felt self-conscious. She waa glad when the muslo stopped and they went back to the others. Diana Close and Marge and Red regaled Gar with the details ot what had happened In their set since he'd been away from Wlnton, while Tubby, with an air of devotion, talked to Kitty In a cautious un dertone. "Y'know, I like you. But take It from me, Kitty, the girls are nuts on your husband. You've got to watch those two. But you Just tell ine If they go too far." In a way Kitty was grateful to him for occupying her attention. She still felt shy with Marge and Diana. In her evening dross Margery Crosby looked more beautiful than she had on the train that morning. Her black hair lay smoothly close to her head; from Us even fringe to the low line of her gown her skin, olive dark, was flawless. The arti ficial scarlet ot her lips lent audac ity to her expression. Reside Marge, Diana Close was colorless, but she had a vivacity ot manner that made up for what she lacked In physics! charm. She waa centering that vivacity now on Gar to the exclu sion of Red and Tulihy. Now and then Kitty stole a glance at Red Harding. Oar had talked of Red often; he was to Oar In Wlnton what Phil Corey had been In college. He seemed older than Gar, ot dif ferent caliber, sleekly groomed. "I like Tubby better than Red.'' Kitty thought Impulsively Tubby, short and plump, as his nickname Implied, his sllxhtly vscuous face wreathed In a stupid, kindly good humor. Gar had directed a walls- to take their orders. "This Is on me, to night. We're celehratlna." Oar's face was flushed, glowing. "This Is the life, Kit." he whispered And when she, wakened the next morning, early, she thought of it, halt dreading the meeting with Gar's father with her conscience so burdened. Gar protested at getting up al such a heathenish hour. But shi persisted. . They found Dalton Frew alone at a table In a sunny breakfast room. When they entered he sprang to bjs feet with an exclamation of pleas ure. "Hello, Dad." Gar's greeting was casual. "You're looking One." "You're looking fine yourself, boy." He dropped Oar's 'hand to hold his out to Kitty. "So this Is your wlfo." He scrutlnliod Kitty In a searching, kindly way, hli smile Indulgent. Gsr turned hli attention Immediately to the break fast table, pulling out a chair for Kitty. Mr. Frew asked Oar about col lege. "Well, you're through, boy." Rut he did not aay anything about Gar's Job, waiting for him. Kitty felt that only a part of Dalton Frew's mind waa focusing on her and Gar. He was tall built like Gar; In his youth he must have had aome of Gar'a splendid vigor but now hie shoulders stooped a little, his hair waa thin and gray at the temples, his mouth and eyes lined with tine wrinkles. And presently he left them. He patted Kitty's shoulder as hs passed hr. "I hope you'll be happy hers with us, my dear," he offered In a kindly tone. But Klttr knew that directly he bad closed th outer door be had put her, and Oar, too, out ot hit mind. It waa three o'clock of a ntghl five weeks after their coming ti Wlnton, that Oar turned on Kitty with cold dissatisfaction. Kit, I wish you'd warm up to my friends a little more. They've been all pretty darn nlco to you, I'll aay." Oar'e voice was sharply critical. Hs was standing before his chiffonier, tearing off his tie and collar, hit hack turned to Kitty, but she saw his heavy frown reflected In the mirror. (Or-vrifrM.
