Chapter 10
CAROL'S WARNINQ
KITTY scarcely heeded when Oar
continued to outline the plans
ot the Idyllera, a club of d6butant.es
to which Marge and Diana both be
longed. Bat Mr. Frew listened with a
eloss, affectionate attention, which
had the effect of a circle drawn
about her and Gar, shutting out
everything else.- It shut out Kitty.
"Tell Margory that I'll be glad to
advise her In any way," Mrs. Frew
told Oar, "It's a most creditable
andertaklng."
Alone with Kitty, Gar continued
to talk about tha now plans. Evl-
ner. They'd found the barn exact
ly what they wanted but they'd got
to act quickly to get It Marge was
having the "committee" at bei
house for dinner, to put It through.
"I'll be home early. Kit."
She put the telephone down with
a sharp resentment not so mucb
at Gar as at Margery Crosby.
Marge was high-handed, appropriat
ing Gar like this! Cut Gar would
not see It so. Once be had laughed
at Kitty when she said Marge dldn'l
seem to realize he was married to
her. "Oh, that cleave unto one an
other Is old-fahloned, Kit."
She found that the prospect of an
evening alone, shut up In her room,
was Intolerable. It she could find
David! She took up the telephom
book to bunt out his name.
While she was fingering the re
coiver, a knock came at her door
Pound, perhaps, with some remedj
for her head
But It was not Pound. Card
stood on the threshold.
Kitty tried to keep from her wel
come any sign of surprise and ap
prehension. But she knew from tin
unpleasantness of Carol's expres
slon that this visit was no tardj
gesture of slsterllness!
"I'm so glad you came up, Carol
My head ached I didn't feel Ukt
eating any dinner. Found brough'
"You're anting on a trap and It lent a pretty one either," Carol told
Kitty.
dently they had been In the making
tor some time. A committee was
going to meet at Mnrgo's house the
next afternoon, with Paul Somer
set, to look over some plays.
Kitty retrained from the question
that was burning on her tongue.
Outwardly she shared Oar's enthu
slaam. Plays were fun she'd been
In several at the Normal College
and she'd help put one on In Bridge
water, lest winter. "Uncle Tom's
Cabin!" Oar laughed and she
laughed, too. It had been "The
Tempest" but she did not say so,
or that It had been very well done.
The next day he suggested, a lit
tle doubtfully, that ehe might go
along with him to Marge's. "I don't
suppose Marge would mind It you
came." But she did not go. She
told him she had mending to do.
She kissed him and pushed him
laughingly out ot the room. .
The "committee" met again the
following day and the next.
"I hate like fury leaving you like
this. Kit I'd make you go along
only we agreed that we get mora
done If no one alts. In. Marge even
threw Red out, today. After we
get started thore won't be so much
to da" Oar was very Important,
He told Kitty how rapidly their
plans were taking shape. Somerset
was Just the man "tunny looking
dock but all to business. I'm going
down with him and Marge tomor
row to look over that barn. You're
are yon're not too lonesome,
sweetf"
She told hlra shs wasn't too lone
some. Perhaps, when they got Into
their first play she could help, some
way.
But when he left her to go with
Marge to look orer the barn which
they proposed to transform Into a
little theater she could not make
herself take up any of the small oc
cupations with which she bad filled
her time while Gar was away from
her.
Her old bewilderment had come
back to her; she had an unhappy
prescience ot things going wrong,
the course of which she could not
stay. She was not helping Gar see
life with a man's eyes. She thought
ot David; If she could talk to him
he might help her
At six o'clock Our telephoned
that he would not be home tor din-
me a little something. Sit down1
Kitty Indicated a chair.
Carol .Ignored the Invitation. She
was walking Idly about the room
looking at Oar's photographs, until
her survey reached the picture of
Margery Crosby. She picked that
up, frownod at It, and put It back
with a little bang. Then she swung
around to Kitty.
"Oar leaves you alone like this
pretty often, doesn't he?"
Kitty shrank Inwardly from nn
Inference In Carol's tone but she
answered pleasantly, even casually.
"Just now. He'e busy with the
committee meetings ot the Players.
When they get started ot course I
can help, too, In some way. I don't
mind for I have ever so many
things to do here." But she hushed;
she knew her words foil lamentably
short of convincing Cnrol had
found her doing nothing, perhaps
Carol had seen thnt she'd been
crying.
Carol laughed. But her eyes as
she faced Kitty were hard.
"Oh, you're simple-! Committee
meetings he's Just tagging Marge
Crosbyl It's always been like thau
Let Marge crook hor little finger
and Oar runs to her. If I were you
I'd stick with them If only to study
Marge's technique. It'd help you.
You've got a lot to loam!"
Kitty recoiled from the other's
bluntness though she answered
steadily enough, managing even a
little smile.
"Don't put It like that, Carol. I'm
not afraid ot Marge or her tech
nlque, or ot anyone. It's kind ol
you to be concerned, but really, I'u
not Jealousl"
"Oh, kind!" Carol flung out h.
hands. "I'm not trying to be kind
I don't care what happens to Oai
or to you or to anyone, tor thai
matter, I have my own reasons foi
warning you. And while I'm aboul
It I'll say a little more. You'n
sitting on a trap and It Isn't a pret
ty one. either. Gar always geti
what he wants If he ploys around
long enough with Marge he may
see that he can hare her and bet
money and position without much
trouble"
