FROM DENI8
MILLY gave a buffet supper the
next night "to tart the ball
rolling," as she put It, although the
ball usually rolled In their direction
without assistance. She and Carol
spent the morning cutting up hens
(or creamed chicken while Annie,
the Negro cook, "did the house."
They talked steadily and happily,
about small, unimportant things.
Annie popped In and out, beaming,
Inventing opportunities tor conver
sation with Carol, whom she adored.
"Lawd, Miss Carol," she had said
In greeting, "you looks younger an'
prettier than ever!
Carol grinned skeptically and af
fectionately. "You darned liar.
How's that no-'count husband of
yours?"
Annie shrugged ollthely. "1 atn
ven speakln' to 'im rat now, ax
eusln' when I tells Mm to bring In
some stove wood."
Annie and Bud led a tumultuous
life, alternating periods of fierce
loyalty with Interval, of very ar
ticulate contempt, and Annie's ao
eounts of their battles were well
worth preserving. ,
MUly cut the conversation short
"Be sure and go over the furniture
well, Annie."
Annie departed reluctantly.
"Yes'm. I wui jus flxln' to do that."
At seven the guests began to ar
rive, and the house became noisy
and alive. Like most small town
groups the "crowd" was heteroge
neous: friends of Jill and Pat and
Carol, and one or two of Mllly's own
contemporaries .who nad Mllly's
youthfulnesa of spirit They were
very glad to see Carol and their wel
come fitted her again into a niche
yot her own, a niche she could never
occupy as a teacher In Ashboro.
Don came a little late, and Carol
guessed that he wanted the taper
tonality of a crowd to help him over
the first few minutes. She met him
exactly as she bad met the others,
and then resumed an Interrupted
conversation.
His eyes found Jill and greeted
her above half a doien beads, then
swung back to Carol. Over the
sbaker Pat watched him unobtru
stvely; saw him weighing and com
paring; saw uncertainty mirrored
for a moment in bis candid face,
Carol chatted gaily on, Ignoring
blm, and the uncertainty began to
fade. He greeted Mllly warmly.
squeezing both ber hands, and then
began Inexorably to forge his way
towards JUL
Across the room Carol and Pat
exchanged a single expressionless
look, so brief that It scarcely lived.
Pat bent over to fill a glass, but In
his heart the gesture was an obei
sance to his older sister.
They played bridge for a while
after supper, and thon deserted the
tables tor the hilarious unity or
guessing games.
The party reluctantly broke up at
midnight With his overcoat on Jim
Stamper grumbled: "We haven't
played no Thumbs Dp all night
Pat leaped Into the broach with
both thumbs upright and Jim In
turn elevated his.
"Simon says "thumbs up.' Simon
says 'wigwag.' Stop!"
Jim obediently stopped, and
Louise sniffed. "You're not so hot
Come on. Idiot; you've got to drive
the sitter home, and tomorrow's
your week to take Muff to Sunday
school. It's been perfectly elegant
folks. . . ."
They all drifted out and the
house was suddenly very still. Carol
smiled at Mllly.
"It was a swell party, darling."
And vory different she thought
from Alice and Tom Harrison's af
fair that had been her Introduction
to Ashboro's social whirl. "Leave
the house as It Is," Mllly had begun
itralghtonlng things "Annie can do
It all before we're even awake."
'T'HE days before Christmas were
crowded and swift, dropping
away like beads from a broken
string. There were hurried trips to
town: Mllly ran short of tissue and
ribbon, everybody ran short of
Christmas cards.
Carol groaned as the cards poured
In. "This business Is ruining Christ
mas for me. Instead of being pleased
and touched at all the people who
remember me, my first reaction Is:
Oh, Lord, I didn"t send them one!' "
Pat shruggod. "Do you get all

"Of course not"
"Well, then, give 'em credit for
the eame amount of sense. Quit
stewing."
Christmas day was crisp and
clear. Mllly had hoped to the last
that there would be a flurry of snow,
but Pat discouraged her.
"Sugar, there never Is. Don't get
your hopes up."
When the packages had been
opened and admired the Inevitable
sense of flatness and reaction set
tled over them. Pat jumped up.
"Let's go play nine holes of golf
before the callers begin to descend"
They went gladly, to escape the
realization that something had gone
out of the day and the season. That
was the worst of Christmas, Carol
thought: you counted so heavily on
it and then after all it was just an
other day.
And she was crowding back Into
her heart the thought that so tar
there bad been no word from Denis:
not even a Christmas card. Don had
very diplomatically sent flowers to
her and Jill and candy to Mllly, but
Denis was silent Si)ly of her to
mind, because he'd said he hated It
and yet . . .
The course was rough and heavy,
but the golf was only a pretext so
they waded gaily through nine holes,
and cams home wet and cold and
pleasantly tired, to a huge Christ
mas dinner. At half-past two the
callers began to arrive, and the last
round departed at midnight When
they had gone the Torrances went
gladly to bed. One more bead, Carol
thought sleepily, had slipped off the
string.
Two days later a package arrived
from Denis, accompanied by a
scrawled note. Carol read the note
first
"Sweet, I'm grovelling. 1 went
out with a couple of fellows two
nights before ChrUtmaa and rot
gutter drunk, mainly to drown the
realization that you were In Geor
gia and I was in Washington. It
took me two days to' sober up
enough to remember where I'd put
this. ..."
"This" was a beautiful copy of
South Wind," signed and num
bered, with a card: "For Carol who
deserves the world with a fence."
But I don't want the world with a
fence, she thought wearily; I want
a very small corner, with Denis In
It and I'll never have It Even If
Denis were there he wouldn't stay
put
She tore up the card and the note,
and tossed the book on the table,
where Pat found It In the evening.
He picked It up carefully, his eyes
shining, "Say, this Is beautiful!" He
glanced Inquiringly at her and she
nodded.
It was late because he got gut
ter drunk."
The light In Pat'i eyes faded.
"Well, Christmas usually calls for
celebration, doesn't It?" be asked
carelessly.
