AN UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER
TPHH first of February brought
mora bills Kitty's own, now.
She gar them to Oar and he pock
eted them cheerfully.
"That's the way, Kit," he eom
mended. "I've paid those others.
Now you see that you needn't
worry."
Of course she needn't worry! A
doien times she assured Gar that
she liked her new-found leisure.
.She did not tell him how she spent
It, how often she went to Carol's,
how often she saw David. Nor did
be ask him where he'd got the
money to pay Bond and the others.
The Players were presenting
! "Loyalties" the last of February.
The rehearsals took Oar away from
ber. She did not suggest that she
go with blm, 1
One day she called Gar on the
telephone. Gar wasn't In the office.
He'd gone out about ba.lf.past
eleven. He'd said he wouldn't be In
again that day, old Jonathan an
wered her. His voice was of the
patient, kind quality Ilka Pound's.
Did she Imagine she caught i little
note of pity In Itt
Perhaps Gar But aha would not
go on with that thought
At dinner Gar told her that be
had to go to the theater. "I may
be lata tonight, sweet Don't alt
up for me. Miriam Holt'a dropped
out of the eost and Somerset's put
Dl in the thlng-ll go slow tonight."
Quite on accord, they discussed
Diana Close's ability and lack of
ability. Gar went off, kissing Kitty
affectionately In parting.
. Kitty remembered that the Phila
delphia Symphony was playing at
Musie Hall. She'd go there.
; She'd wanted to go to the con'
eerts all winter but Gar had re
fused. That sort of muslo bored
blm, he'd said.
She reached the hall too late to
take a seat before the opening num
ber. She Joined a little group of
people, standing, Impatiently wait
lng. And In It she saw David.
"David, how nicer .
! "Alone?"
"Yes. Gar's busy with the Play-
rs. But I'm not alone, now. See
'It you can change our tickets"
He took has and went to tho
(box office, returning with adjoining
seats.
i "I've never heard an orchestra
(like this, except on the radio," she
confided to him, laughing, as they
took their seats.
: Bright color glowed on her
cheeks. She was wearing a black
dinner dress which enhanced the
ereamlness of her slender throat.
"You're looking rather prettier
than usual, tonight, Kitty."
She laughed softly. Such direct
admiration from David waa new!
She turned a bright smile on him.
She wanted David to say more nice
things to her.
But the orchestra began Bee
thoven's Fifth Symphony. David
had forgotten herl She watched
his face. Its absorption, Its curious
tightening.
"Gorgeous, wasn't It!" she asked,
when the symphony waa over.
And David looked at her a Utile
vaguely, nodding. His wordlessness
seemed to rebuke her; she reeented
It with soma amusement

Amused, she fell to thinking of
things she would say as soon as
the music ceased
But after a little it came to her
with a ahock that she wasn't listen
ing to the music She closed ber
eyes and settled back In her chair.
And gradually the sound swept over
her, lifted her, released ber. It
seemed to pour Itself Into her body
and heart and brain. She put out
ber hand a little blindly until It
caught David's arm.
The symphony ended. David
smiled at her.
"David!" Her hand still cluns to
his arm. "David, that did something
to roe!" .
She was ashamed ashamed, et
what she'd been doing, sitting here,
planning how she'd bold David's at
tention. She was frightened, too.
"I'm going to put you In a taxi,
Kitty," David said when they were
out In the street.
They stood on the fringe of the
crowd pressing at the curb wait
ing to claim the cars that swung
up in a close procession. And In
the confusion of noise Kitty heard
a familiar voice. "Here, let us
through, please." Gar. Gar making
a way for Margery Crosby. The
Crosby chauffeur was holding open
the door of the Crosby limousine.
In an instant he had closed It upon
Gar and Marge. The car rolled off
to make way for the next
"Here we are, Klttyl" David bad
commandeered a taxi. He had not
seen Gar.
"Good night," she said brightly.
Gar, who didn't like symphony
concerts! But he'd . been dragged
Into It of course. Something had
happened to postpone the rehearsal,
of course. He'd telephoned, and
found that she wasn't at the apart
ment Gar would tell her just how K
happened when she got home.
She reached the apartment before
Gar.
Gar came In, In high spirits. Had
she been lonesome? He asked It
with his arms around her.
Kitty waited.
"Di'a going to make it all right,
Kit. Sho'a a good sport and Somer
eot'll whip her Into shape."
But perhaps they'd had the re
hearsal and Gar and Marge had
gone Into the concert late
"Somerset worked them to a
finish, I'll say. He went over part
of It a half doien times. It waa
ten o'clock boforo he'd let them go.
That's why I'm so lato."
"Have you had a busy day?" She
hated herself tor asking It, for feel
ing so Icy cool and calm.
"Just that Things are going
great"
She went Into the bedroom.
"Well, I didn't tell him I was
there with David. I don't tell him
when I go to Ketrhum Street. Or
when I je Carol."
She felt a sob shake her. She
felt tears streaming down her
cheeks. 8he knew, now, of what
she was so afraid of that Kitty
Frew she had come to be.
But don't you see, David, that
I've got to go on?" Kitty appealed
some days later.
Kitty said this over and over,
but not to David, only in wretched
moments when, Just to plan a heart
to-heart talk with David, eased her
mind.
And. David, I've been a fool
these last few weeks, a perfect fool
silly and reckloas."
