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

"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. "I
wasn't going to have him laughed
