Kitty has succeed ed in getting Oar to icork instead 0 idle, and ie proud of the the atricals that he and Marge axe planning. Hhe tries to reconcile Oar to hts half-brother, David, Chapter It COMMITTEE OF TWO WHEN Klttr told Oar (he'd Ilk to lnvlta DaTld and Dorcas Tabar to their apartment for anpper ha opposed It flatljr. "Nothing doing. Kit, with aar of tham. I don't want that aort In my house. Whr, what it an? of our crowd dropped In and found them hereT I suppose the next thing you'll want to do la to entertain some of the shop girls from Strat um's." But Oar kept his tone light- V teasing. "I would like to to know Josle, Oar." Kitty's eyes danced as she pictured such a meeting, Josle's ap preciation of Oar's good looks and his charm. "Oh, I guess I could meet her any time I wanted to, Just by waiting outside the door at Stratum's." Kitty let that pass. Josle wasn't the point In hand. "But to please me, Oar DaTld wm rery kind to me. If I ask Just kfcm won't you be nice about ltr But they were "ahead." And aha wouldn't touch the small balance left of her allowance. The door-bell rang and golDg to the door she took from a boy a long box.' Flowers, she knew. Oar often sent them, stopping at the florist's on his way to the office. Deep yel. low long atemmed roses they were today and a little shoulder corsage tucked In one corner of the box for her to wear tonight Her marketing was the high ex perience of the day. It was nerer quickly or carelessly dispatched. Now she tuc'ted her list in her pocket-book, donned her coat and bat, took her basket and went forth. She knew that with her basket over her arm she made an Incon gruous figure In the glided foyer of the Tudor Arms. She'd seen the girl at the telephone desk smile more than once when she appeared. But It had not embarrassed her. As she emerged from the elevator Diana Close and her mother stepped out of one across the foyer. Kitty had met Dl's mother at another ust such encounter. Mrs. Close bad not called on her at her apartment. Diana only came In the evening with Marge and Tubby and the others. Now Dl greeted her casually. Doing shopping? So are we. Ien't mother heartless to drag me out al "Now don't net me u ' I m,d'" r ,ld xJL I "For9't pvd-" '"j Oar waa putting on his eoat to (tart for his office. He slipped out of It, threw it aside and, going to Kitty, gave her a little playful shake of the shoulders. "I've told you how I feel, Kit And that's that Now don't got me mad about It Forget David he's 'nothing to us. We've got enough friends to keep us busy. Here, put your arms around my neck and kiss me good-by. That's the sweet girl.' She followed him to the outer door where they kissed again. . "I'll be a little late tonight Kit; I hava to stop around at Marge's , she's called a committee meeting. 111 you have my dress things out? And If those new shirts of mine don't coma this morning will you give Bond a ring? He promised to send them last week. By-by, dar ling. Take ears of your precious elf." Kitty went hack to the kitchen ette with a singing heart She would feel the warmth of Oar's part ing cafess long after he had gone. They hadn't quarreledl Four months ago they would have parted in anger on such a difference of opinion as they had had this morn ing. But not now. They'd learned, both of them. But she had not given up her point she told herself. In the kitchen cupboard she kept her budget book. Oar had laughed at It and at the seriousness with which she studied It "Funny little kid, you can spend all the money you want, don't you know thatr Today ended the first month of their housekeeping. Her house In order, Kitty took out the budget book and spread It open over the kitchen table. Bhe glowed with pride as she considered the totala of her spending. She'd kept under the allowance for food, and she hadn't starved Oar, either. The new coat and hat had made a big hole In the estimate tor clothes but, he figured, she wouldn't need any thing for another month. The page given over to "sundry expenses" was lese satisfactory she couldn't enter all that they spent when they went out In the evening because Oar moat always refused to tell her when she pressed him. "We're not going to get on that," he'd say with a little warning frown. this hour? Bet you tonight" Mrs. Close gave Kitty only a slight nod and half-smile. At lunch time Kitty ate an apple and drank a cup of milk at the kitchen table. She'd give Bond un til two to sond Oar's shirts. The package cam before two o'clook, an Immense box. Kitty opened It In the bedroom. Twelv6 shlrta! She gasped; he didn't need so many. In the box under the shirts she found a garnet-red, Rus sian style suit of pajamas, of heavy silk. The price tag on the collar. Thirty dollars. "Oar!" She cried It aloud. When Oar came home she had his dress clothes spread out for him. She waa ready herself to don her dinner dress the yellow chif fon, which had lost something of Its freshness. They were going to the Rainbow Oardens, with the othersl of the "crowd." "Did the shlrta come, Kit?" "They're In the bottom drawer. Oar, I put your old ones In that bog on the closet shelf." 'Oh, give them to the elevator man. Things are moving at the office, Kit We've leased that ground floor space. Got a good lease, too, a lot better than I expected." She loved It when Oar told her of things that had happened at the office. He told her what they'd done at the committee meeting In the afternoon. It had been at Marge'a. They'd made out a list of patron esses for the opening play.' "Of course the mother heads the bunch," he said with satisfaction. Ha did not tall her all concern ing the afternoon's meeting. It had been a committee of two which had met at Marge'a house. Marge and Oar, and they had sat cosily be fore a fireplace In Marge's own sit ting room. Kitty remembered Mlsa Lee's face aa It had looked when she'd told her that she was leaving Stmt- ton's. "I have another Job." Well, she had a woman's lob, to meet Oar's neede, to guard their love.
