Chapter 81 GOODBYE, BUOGET BOOK KITTY waited for Gar to tell her what the "committee" had done that afternoon. But he said nothing abont It. He raid nothing about his deal, or the bills, or why he had been absent from the office during the middle of the day. He wan In high humor and Kitty thought: "It's all right." They talked about Bally and Phil, "We'll go to the wedding, won' we'" Kitty gave a little algh u! dismay. "Oh, dear, Jut when thought we wouldn't hare any extra expemea!" "There you go!" Oar warned, laughing. "We'll make It, some way. Oh, lay" he changed the subject abruptly. "What do you think Carol's left home. Set up tor her self In two rooms oyer a garage on Elmwood terrace. She's dotty," "Gar, maybe she'll be happier, now." Gar stared at Kitty. He made sound of disgust. "Happier! What1 the matter with her being happy at homer Shea Just plain crazy, Kitty had an Impulse to tell him of what she suspected between Carol and Somerset But she checked on sober after-thought. She knew Oar would feel no sympathy. "What doos your mother say?" ' "What I say that she's nutty, Ehes going In for arty stuff sell lug Russian doo-dads." Kitty could not see Carol's move as Gar pic. cured it, The next afternoon she went to Elmwood Terrace. She took chance on following a man with Jong packing box who might, she thought, be delivering a part of Carol's stock of "doo-dads." To her delight Carol opened a door to the man. She saw Kitty standing be. Bind him. "Oh, hullol Walt a minute" he signed the book the man gave Her. "How did you know where "was!" Her greeting was not alto feather gracious but there ' was a new excitement on her face and he atood aside for Kitty to enter the little hallway. , "Oar told me." "Oh, he did. did her Carol led the way up the narrow stairs, the big box across her arms, I suppose he had a lot to sayl" Kitty was surveying the room she had entered. It was a pleasant room, with little window nooks at each end. It was In a contusion ot coxes, halt unpacked. Carol put her burden down, "Well, I'm here!" She said It with hard little note of triumph. "Isn't it a cute placet I'm going Into Duslneas here, selling peasant dresses and Russian books and pit .lures. I'm getting out cards. I'll send you one. My friend, Nina Barlkoff, Is helping me. You don't know her, ot course." "I think It's splendid, Carol." "Well, it's got to go." Carol ifrownod at the box which she was trying to. open. "I've staked every. 'thing I own on It, I sold every bit lot Jewel, y I had and I've borrowed money, too but not from my (mother!" She threw back her head land leveled a sharp meaning glance ion Kitty. i "I'm sure it will go! Perhaps Dorcas Taber she's on the Times, ryou know-r-wlll give it a etory. "Thanks, you needn't bother to jiay anything about It to Gar's friends. I don't want them around. Il wouldn't let Margery Crosby in- Ida my door!" Carol was thinking ot Somerset, Kitty knew. If only she could win iOarol's confidence talk It out wltn Iher, tell her that Somerset wasn't worth her caring so! "Let me help you unpack aome nf these boxes, Carol." ; "They've got to be unpacked," JCarol conceded. "You see I know something about hanging stock away," Kitty laughed. "I was working In Stratton'a all that time Gar thought I wae In Srldgewater." It came to her that It she made confldenoes to Carol (he might win Carol's in return. Carol stared at her, amazed, across the brightly embroidered garment she had taken out of the box. "I wanted to be Independent un til Gar began to work, you see." "I don't see why you ever came back to Oar." "Oh, Caroir Kitty protested, laughing. "I never really left him I was only waiting. And every thing Is beautifully all right, now." "Oh, you think it is, do your "Why, ot course!" Kitty began to clear a table foi some books. She took up a framed photograph which was 4ylng there, face down. Carol snatched it out of her band but not before Kitty had seen that it was Paul Somerset, "I'll take care of that," Carol protested, coloring. "Carol, I know you know Paul Somerset I saw you with him one day, at Hoffman." "I'm all through with him!" Carol cried, passionately. But ahe held the photograph against her breast, her eyes belying her words. Carol put the picture down with a little air of carelessness. "I told him If he wanted to let Marge Crosby make a fool of him'' But she could not keep to the manner. Her Hps began to quiver. "I said I was through with him but it he so much as crooked bis little finger at me I'd go to him!" "It was that way with me, Carol, about Oar, after those weeks," Kitty said simply, sympathetically. And the two girls looked at one an, other, a little solemnly, wholly friendly, now. "Oh, well" Carol caught up some books, handed them to Kitty, "Put these anywhere. We've made a good start Another day and I'll be settled." Kitty went home, rejoicing. She'd broken down Carol's Indifference. They were friends. She told Gar when he came home that she'd hunted Carol out But Oar wasn't Interested In Carol or what she was doing. When they sat down to their meal he scowled at the nicely browned chops. "See here, Kit, you won't get sore, will you, it I lay down the law to you?" She laughed at his preface in spite of the pang of alarm she felt 1 don't want you to go market ing the way you do. Mother told Mrs. Close told her Carrying a basket The least you can do Is to appear to live like a lady" A great anger flooded Kitty so that she shook. His mother how dared she talk to Oar of her, aol Gar took her silence for agree' ment He modified his tone. "Prob ably it didn't occur to you how it looked. But now you know how I feel about It" He did not notice that she at nothing, that her eyes were dark. I don't want you working like housemaid, either, Kit They have women here In the building who'll come In." Following Gar's auggestlon, Oar- ley, a soft-voiced mulatto girl, was established In the apartment She came each day at eleven o'clock and remained through dinner. Kitty ordered her days' needs by telephone. They were delivered at the service door. She threw her budget book away. When ber week's allowance was ex hausted she charged what she had to get She spent her mornings enrled on the divan, reading. Afternoons, she walked or shopped or went to Carol'a. One day she telephoned to David and met him again for tea. She dressed with elaborate care every evening tor dinner. She'd bought two new dresses, a stock of undergarments, stockings, shoes, paying for them out ot her precious savings. She was very gay; when she and Oar went out with the "crowd" for dinner or to dance or to play bridge she was vivacious, lightning-quick with witty retort datsllng to poor Tubby, She was very gay and she was frightened, frightened at herself, at this mad recklessness that pos sessed her, at the burning anger she carried deep In her heart and smothered with laughter. She'd forget It, she had said to herself. After a little she came not to re sent Carley, - in the kitchen, or to criticise her. "Being a lady Isn't such hard work, even for me," she thought With Carol she could forget her hurt She knew now that Carol liked to hare her come to her rooms. Often they ate lunch to gether, frugally, at the end ot the deal table on which Carol displayed some of her stock. Sometimes Csrol talked ot Paul Somerset She'd known him two years. It had been a clandestine ac quaintance. "Do you think I'd take chance on Inviting him to the housct" she'd said bitterly.
