JULY 3, 1032 'oil Cant Marry by Julia Clejl-Addamt SYNOPSIS: 'I'm oolr." away tor a year," Eddie Towneend tells hit wile. Qeorote. She Oisiif upon kreplng her position although the muet pretend the ie not married, and that her cousin Jenny is hire. Towneend. Jenny makes friends with Oration Matching. Georgle's eccentrio old employer. Chapter 32 A SOUND INVESTMENT BECAUSE" Eddie's voice was gruff as ho answered Jenny's luestlon "he only wants what tht wants." "But I expect she Is thinking just that of you," ventured Jenny. "And I'm much the same, Eddie every body wants their own kind of happi ness, really. Oh, I can't bear you tnd Georgia to be unhappy!" She looked up at him, troubled by the trouble in bis eyes. To her sur prise he stooped and kissed her. "Good kid!" he said. "You didn't mind my doing that, did youT I sometimes wish He checked him self, grinned and for the second time ordered her to run home. "You look like an ornament off a Christ mas tree in that silver frock. Pretty enough to make anyone want to kiss you." She turned obediently away. The car had disappeared but she bad only a little way to walk. This was the hour she loved, the very edge of the night Flitting shrugged Georgia. "He would only tell you his side of the business, of course. Not that " Jenny went to her and took away the cigarette she was trying to light. "I want you to tell me some thing," she said. "Not about you or Eddie at all." "Well?" "May I tell Garth Aveney that It was you and not 1 who married Eddie on Saturday?" Under her detaining hands, she felt Georgia start and quiver. "Jenny, of course you mayn't! What possesses you? Why, I should lose my job there and then! Haven't you been told at Rochester Gate that the Old Man Is putting him In full charge? Whatever Aveney might want to do, he wouldn't have any choice he'd have to fire me." "But I think I must tell him," per slsted Jenny, Georgle wrenched herself free. "After all I've done for you? Jenny, you simply you simply can't take my Job away from me, Jenny, when It has kept you from starving, and clothed you, and sheltered you! Why, the very frock you've gol on" "Oh!" cried Jenny, her hands pressed flat against her ears. "Oh, don't! Don't say It, Georgle, It bai such an ugly sound!" "You can't take my Job away from me, Jenny, wher It has kept you from starving." through the heavy shadows be tween the street-lights, her pale ' skirts gathered out of the dust and the jade and silver of shawl and shoes gleaming and dulling by turns, she knew that men's heads turned to watch her go. Even old Gratton Matching bad said It "a pretty thing In all that silver." And In Garth Aveney's eyes she bad seen that she was lovely, even though for her loveliness be had nothing but a sneer. ' She forgot Eddie and the wonder why he should be going back to Mrs. Blgger's alone and with such troubled eyes. Tomorrow she would think about him again and If he and Goorgle would let ber, she would go on curing him. She felt absolutely certain that she would eure him, In the end. But tonight she must speak to Georgle and Georgle must answer her and tor once they would be talking about Jenny Revell, a grown and lovely woman, and not Georgle's pretty doll. She passed GUI In the doorway almost without seeing him, and she arrived at the door of tbe apartment without any recollection of climb ing tbe stairs. It was like going up in a dream. And the quiet of the apartment was dream-Ilka too, "Georgia!" abe called. "Here!" , The dream-feeling broke and van ished. Georgle's voice, coming from the living room, waa brisk and clear; and Georgle, strolling out Into the hall, was perfectly groomed and tracked and waved a cigarette. "I was Just going on tbe ratsle ean't stand this place when I'm alone In It," she smiled. "Come and telkme all about It, honey. Heavens, to think of your having dinner with the Old Man. Life l, Isn't It?" She propelled Jenny Into the liv ing room and Immediately turned on the radio. A flood of dance muslo welled Into the room and Georgle moved in rhythm to It until she cannoned Into Jenny aud began to giggle. Jenny quietly turned the set off. "I think you're afraid, Georgle," he said. She had not meant to say It. but she would stand by It "You're afraid of being alone because you've sent Eddie away." "I auppose you me; him," For the second time that evening they stared at each other like enemies. There was a bewildered sadness In Jenny's heart and per haps Its echo In Georgle's. For presently ber face twisted up Into a trembling smile. "Something that Isn't me Is using my mind and my tongue tonight and It'a something 1 loathe as much as you do," she muttered. "I don't mean anything I say and I'd Ilka to take back everything I do. I aup pose for once In my Ufa I'm tired right out" "Yes, you're tired," agreed Jenny, all eagerness to forgive. "It was sil ly of me to start a discussion like this tonight. Selfish. Don't let's go out, darling, let's let's " Georgle said It tor ber. "Let's have a cosy evening to gether, as we used to do. I'll brew some hot chocolate and we'll drink It In our pajamas on tny bed." Lightly, she caressed Jenny's cheek. "No, on second thoughts, you'll make the chocolate. You've elected yourself housekeeper, I hear." "Do you mind? Eddie that Is, I thought" "I'm very pleased. I'll pay you the ordinary salary, of course, and you'd better take some lessons and get really good at cooking. It's al ways a sound Investment And I'll pay for tbe lessons" Jenny slipped Into the kitchen, smiling a little wrlly. What a lot Qeorgle cared about tbe money side of everything! Always It waa ber first comment Of course, one bad to be practical, but surely It was a mistake to emphasise It Jenny, busy with tbe chocolate, had a fleet ing memory of an old man with so much money that he could never spend It all. Gratton Matching lonely, suspicious, odd. She wondered whether she was really expected to go and see him tomorrow. She wanted to go: there was a quality about him that she could not describe It but It was something she needed, ferhaps It was pure friendship. He liked her and she him: and they were both In need of being liked. (Copyright. Julia Clelt-Aiiamt) "Are you In lovtf" Georgia siks Jenny tomorrow, suspiciously.
