SYNOPSIS: Saving crushed Clivt't spirit by becoming en gaged to Dicky, 11 year her senior, Santa rushes to the. boat to bid Clive farewell as he ealle to become Eurovran repreeentative of hie Arm. There ehe promisee Clive tc break her engagement and meet him in Europe I Then, in the oar, ehe tells Dicky, The tana! is worse because, long be fore, Olive's mother and Santa'e father had been engaged, and Brio Dawn had been jilted. When his mother, on her deathbed, asked Dawn to eara for Clive, Hrs. Dawn uat furious, took Banta to Europe, permitted her to become an expert in provoking tnen's attentions. Chapter 8 "WOMAN IS FICKLE" SANTA glanced up quickly. Dicky looked so strong. Hli protecting arm tightened. So he wasn't going to punish her. She leaned more heavily against him. Through the great white lights ot Broadway they sped In silence. At Columbus Circle the chauffeur glanced back for instructions. Dicky signed to him to enter the Park. Feverlshness was left behind. Shadowy Tlstas. Black ramparts filled with starry loop-boles. He stooped his lips to her wary hair. "Don't tell anything, unless" "Dicky," shb protested, "It coa eerns you. I eren promised to fol low him." He laughed quietly. "You haren't." "You don't realise.". She wrung her bands. "I'm asking your ad vice. I'm In a most frightful mess." "You re asking whether you should Jack me In favor ot Clive. The answer depends on your hap piness. "But I'm considering your happi ness." "There's only one person to con Ider yourself. Let's be terrific ally honest. What are dive's su perior attractions, In spite of which you chose met" "I chose you," she stared Into the darkness, "because I was sick ot boys. They're so bossy must have everything their own way. They get sore. Take Clive. It I'd done to him what I've done to you, he'd i have sulked and made me miserable. Certainly he wouldn't have been driving me round the Park all friendly and comfortable." "But Clive, since he's your ex ample, must have hla good points." "Heaps," she granted enthusiasti cally. "I'm bis only girl. He adores me." "And now for my qualities. Let's tart with the good ones." "You're friends with so many people. You take me places," she faltered. "Losing your nerve!" he chal lenged. "I'm proud to be seen with yoa." Her voice strengthened. "You're so blond and handsome. Yon speak languages like a foreigner. It's fun to chatter with waiters In queer little restaurants.' Life with you be comes an adventure. And then you're so well groomed so abso lutely right for every occasion. You mayn't know It, but you give me confidence. Olive's sometimes a little shabby and not quite sure of himself. And then again, you're agreeable always the same. Not untidily demonstrative one moment and all bottled up the next. What I mean Is, you don't upset me don't expect me to be perfect" "Can't you state something posi tively to my credit?" She thought deeply. "Yes. Because I'm young, you're uauereu. wnen I'm prettier than usual, you notice. And then on my aide, . because you're older, I'm flattered, too." "Fourteen years older," he re minded. "You've said nothing about being fond of me or the way I feel toward you." She took his hand between her two small onos and drew It beneath her opera-cloak. "I couldn't deceive you. I love uuve. nut -"Go on." "I prefer you for your gentle ness, i m so safe with you." Their Una met. Keit morning she annminrM in her parents that she wished her marriage to be hurried rnrwm 8he was afraid of her own Inde- owon. norgetting Clive wasn't easy. Her thoughts returned to him In every Idle moment. Unfortunate ly loving Dicky was an effnrt Through fear of what she might do It left to her own devices, she acarcely permitted blm out ot ber ignu The quality which bad recom mended him had been his snorti ness. She now cashed In on It to prevent Herself from thlnkin From morning UU past midnight was wun nim in the high powered runabout which he drove so recklessly. She forced him to take her to night clubs. After giving a mystic signal, one burst from a. gloomy street Into the glow of an Aladdin's care. The life they led seemed a chapter from the Arabian Nights. They bad no leisure for conversation. Meanwhile her father, wishing to learn more about bis luture son-in-law, pursued enquiries. He discov ered nothing to bis discredit, It nothing distinctly favorable. Dicky's pedigree, at all events. was traceable. He derived from a race of speculators In Chicago, who In the second generation bad quiet ed down to phllantbropby and church-going. Previously to that they'd cornered wheat, land, rail roadsthere was precious little they hadn't cornered. Their women had specialized In European titles. Dicky's father was worth joveral millions. Unfortu nately the father didn't approve ot the son. Why was hidden In obscurity. Probably they weren't sympathetic. Most ot Dicky's edu cation had been obtained at foreign schools. Since becoming a man he'd lived chiefly in France and Austria. Again the answer to 'What was he doing there?' was blank. An In heritance from an aunt was his only visible means of livelihood. From a social point of view the wedding was a. huge success. For weeks costly presents from emi nent persons had been arriving. The news leaked out, via the press, that the best man was worth twelve millions. To have a multi millionaire for a best man, Dicky also must bave money. The first night of the honeymoon was spent In New York. Before sailing for Havana, Santa tele phoned her parents that sho'd mar ried the finest and most consid erate of husbands. At tho start of the voyage she was too seasick to enquire or care what be was doing. On the third day, when she became convalescent, she discovered that he'd been grabbed by a bunch of poker-players. Late that night, since he bad not come to bed, she dressed and went to the smoking-room to re claim him. She was greeted with loud shouts, "Here comes the bride." When she tried to coax blm from bis chair he showed temper. Later, when she was sleeping1 soundly In her berth, she was roused by clumsy movements. Hot hands ca ressed her. "You there, Lou-Lou?" In panto she switched on the light. Dicky blinked hla surprise. "Not Lou-Lou I" He was half seas over, "ueel You must be the gal I married." At breakfast next morning his at titude waa repentant. He wasn't certain what had been his conduct. 'Hope 1 didn't disturb you." He Introduced the subject "To tell the truth I drank too much last night." 'Who a Lou-Lou?" she asked quietly. 'How should I know, darling? I expect she's a name you've Invented." 'She Isn't" Santa shook her cur ly head. "She's a woman whom you loved before me." 'I never pretended there weren't women I loved before you," he owned gravely. "I 'fessed up that evening when you planned to run oft with Clive." 'Dicky, dear, by loved I thought you meant liked." 'I'm not to blame for what You thought I told you." "So there were other women," toars filled her eyes, "whom you loved in the same way that you loved Lou-Lou?" 'Ilogitlar detective, aren't you?" he chaffed her. "What do you sup pose 1 was doing all those years till 1 met you7 I'm human." "One more question, Dicky. I'm not the third or even the fourth- Just the end of a procession? You couldn t get me cheaply so you made me your wife." "This Is what comes ot playing poker." He assumed a mock In jured expression. "Who said any thing about a procession?" "Do you got drunk often?" she Insisted. "This Is only our honey moon. I know nothing about you." He attempted to fold hat In his arms. She turned her face aside. "My getting drunk was an accl dont The other women meant nothing." ) "Don't He, Dicky. They're all memorised there." she touched his forobead. "My place Is a long way down the line."
