"Nothing doing. Kit, with aar of

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

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

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

'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.
