Chapter t
NOBODY LOVES U$
' IT bad been ome one's birthday;
1 there bed been wild speeding
' from one dancing place to another.
And leaving the Rainbow Gar
dens, where they bad gone last as a
..- proper wind-up of their fling. Marge
bad asked Oar to drive ber car
.home. "It's doing tbe queerest
things. Oar, ' You're more familiar
with it than Red." Marge always In.
slated upon using ber own car and
because It was a French model, of
dashing lines and amazing speed,
her escorts invariably were quite
willing to accede to ber whim.
To-night, without moment's heS'
llatlon, Oar bad sprung Into the
driver's seat, thrown tbe clutch into
gear with a masterful air and shot
off Into tbe deserted road, leaving
: Kitty behind with Red Harding.
"Nobody loves us," Red bad
' (rumbled, putting bis arm through
', Kitty's.
She'd hated being left alone with
Red; she'd been afraid ot bis drlv.
ing. Oar's desertion, without a word
' ot regret, bad burt ber to the quick.
Bhe bad thought that when they
were borne be would tell ber be was
' sorry but Instead he was charging
her with coldness to bis friends.
Sbe dared not trust herself to
answer. If she did sbe might tell
; bim that she was tired to death ot
.- bis friends, that tonight she didn't
think she liked any ot them, Marge
' or Diana or Isabel Peters, Buck
Bewail, Tabby even tupld, good-
natured Tubby, Red, least of all.
Red was Oar's best friend, Gar was
' always quoting bis opinions, look
ing to him to suggest new places to
go, new amusements; the others
showed him this same deference,
yot Kitty bad not been able to like
him.
' Nice oh, yes, tbey bad been nice
enough to her, these friends ot his,
but that was the limit ot their at
tention; without Oar tbey wouldn't
know she was aroundl
Sbe had been more quiet than
usual to-night somehow, to-night
she had not been able even to pre
tend any gayety. Sbe'd felt out ot
the picture, as Oar would put It, un
comfortable, In her rust-colored
dress, like a sparrow among bright
plumaged birds. To-nlgbt she'd
felt critical ot Oar's friends;
couldn't they sometimes have good
times In their homes?
i To-night she'd felt even sharply
critical ot Oar. He shouldn't spend
to much money worse, be should
not borrow from Red. He bad bor
, rowed quite openly, at the start of
their evening. Kitty had seen Red
add two figures to a little column
on the page ot a memorandum
book.
; "You don't have to put on such an
almighty righteous air when you
turn down a drink, either, Kit," Oar
pursued. "They're all laughing at
you. Tbey think you're a prig. That
mall-town stuff doesn't go In my
crowd."
Hurt on hurt She hadn't meant
to look almighty righteous. She
wasn't a prig, But she wouldn't
quarrel and it would me&n a quarrel
If she spoke now.
But she could not keep back ber
tears. They came In a flood. She
despised herself for her weakness
ven when Gar's arms went re
morsefully around her.
, . "Oh, come now, Kit I was only
telling you for your own good."
She clung to him until sbe got
control ot herself. "I didn't feel well
to-night, Oar. I need sleep and exer
cise In fresh air. I'm not used to
eating breakfast at noon-tlma and
going to bed at dawn."
"You ought to bogln golf, Kit
That'll sl you up. I'll sign you on
for some lessous with the pro out
at the club. Marge and I are taking
Red and Dl on for a foursome to
morrow and you can take a lesson
then It Deetman has any time. It's

going to be a good match the los
ers have got to buy tbe dinners."
Kitty smiled In agreement ot thi
plan. She agreed with Gar thai
Marge had looked stunning to-night
last nlibt witb a glaace at the
little clock on Oar's desk.
"It's habit," she thought "Small
town b&Mt," she added, -emember-Ing
Gar's criticism, Sbe remem
bered It without burt, now, but with
a bewlldored sense that things bad
started to go wrong and that In
some way It must have been ber
fault They'd almost quarreled.-
She'd dress quietly and take a
walk while Gar slept. It would
c.ear he.' head, help her to think
things out
She knew the routine of the
house. Mrs. Frew breakfasted in
ber room, after wblcb she closeted
berself In her "office" until luncheon
time. She rarely lunched at home.
Carol slept late, then followed ber
own pursuits, usually out of tbe
house.
There was a little square of park
within a few blocks of tbe bouse.
She'd walk around It a few times
and then sit down on one ot the
benches.
When 4he finished ber walk Kitty
cbose a bench. When she set her
self to the task of thinking things
out sbe grew confused again, a lit
tle frlgbtened. They had so nearly
quarreled 1
Gar thought she was standoffish
with his friends, a prig, when she
was only shy with them. Tbey made
ber feel that way; more often than
not sbe did no; know what they
were talking about and no one ol
them, unless It was Tubby In a
burst of devotion, bothered to tell
ber. Left alone with Marge and
Diana, In the cloak-rooms, or wait
ing for tbe men In lobbies or on th
Country Club veranda, she'd alwayi
felt a little self-conscious, lll-at-
ease; in their chatter about the
newest in dress and shops and bar
bers, and rouges, perfumes, one an
other's clothes and the clothes oa
the women about them, they neTer
acted, wholly aware that she was
with them.
"I'm not envious," Kitty sighed,
dolefully. "I'm not Jealous." No.
evon though Marge often coolly ap
propriated Gar she was not Jealous.
She was not so small-townlsb but
that she could laugh at It
They never talked now of that
home .hey were going to have.
They'd let themselves get caught
Into a whirl of gayety that was
crowding out the real Joy of their
marriage.
Sbe'd talk It all over with Gar;
he'd had bis play, be would want to
begin to work that they might be
Independent of every one. She
flushed, thinking of Gar's dobt to
Red. But she would not reproach
Gar with Jiat; she'd be very tactful,
very loving.
She walked home eagerly.
She was a little startled to And
that It was past one o'clock. Gar
must have worried as to her where
abouts, thought perhaps that she
was lost Sbe could well get lost
for sbe knew scarcely anything yet
of tbe city.
Pound had come in with Gar's
breakfast tray.
Is the Mother downstairs?" Oar
asked hln..
She's gone out, Mr. Oar. She'i
lunching out."
At that Oar frowned. 'That's bad.
Why didn't you call me. Kit?" Hi
surveyed his breakfast with dls
taste. His eyes were still heavy
itn sleep. "I've got to touch the
Mother tor some money. It'd look
nice It Marge and I lost tbls after
noon and I had to let her pay for
the dinners."
Gar, don't ask your mothor for
any moneyl You'll get your allow
ance next week. We can manage
until then"
There was an excitement in Kit
ty's tone that brought Gar's glance
to her glowing face.
"What's the big Idea ot not touch
ing the Mother?" he asked, a little
Ill-humoredly.
She pushed htm gently Into bis
chair and drew "lis tray up close to
him. "Drink vour coffee, Gar, while
I talk. I've been thinking 1 took a
walk and sat In the Park Gar,
wo'ro Just drifting; It's been tun.
but It Isn't what we tcantet to do,
what we talked of, at Panther Moun
tain. Gar, we nearly quarreled last
night I'm sorry for my part 1
moan that 1 hadn't pleased you, but
Gar aren't we both Just a Utile
tired of playing?"
