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.
