Chapter Threa A Drink To the Bride "IT'S true all right, I'm happy to say." Richard drew Honey to him in a very sweet way. Something that had felt all taut and constricted her heart maybe relaxed in Nina's breast Honey was saying: "And I have the heavenliest last name." "What Is it, darling?" "ChaUoner." "Oh, my, yes. It's very, very . . . something, isn't it? 'Richard Chal loner," I like It; and Honey Chal loner,' too." They were still standing in a lit tle huddle in the upstairs hall. "Would you two grinning things mind coming in and giving me a little data?" Nina looked at Richard ChaUoner, critically, for the first time as he bent over Honey. But when the three of them were settled in a row, with Nina in the middle, on Honey's sinky; pillow strewn couch, It appeared that there was very little data to give out They had met at a dinner party given for Honey, In Chicago, by Ellen Surtees, her hostess. They had fallen in love, immediately, and had been unable to figure out any reason why they should wait to do something about it "Just one of those things," mur mured Nina, smiling. But she thought: "Oh, no. No reason at all . . . only me; and the question of whether they're really suited to each other; and the dif ference in their ages (he must be at least 10 years younger than Honey); and a few thousand other little items to be considered. . . ." Richard's 'Nervousness TOU do think It's fun, our hav ing done it and surprised you, don't you, darling?" Was there a pleading look in Honey's blue eyes? Did she know she had been bad? "I do," answered Nina, prompt ly. "When did it, happen?" It hurt her terribly to think of her mother standing somewhere, say ing: "I do," without her , . . giv ing away the whole rest of ner life to a stranger. "Day before yesterday." "And you'll be going away now tor a while, I suppose. Suddenly, t terrible thought struck her. "Look here, you two aren't going to live In Chicago, aie you? Richard ChaUoner said, quickly: "No, my dear. I should have told you that right off. I'm not going to take your mother away from you . . . only for a few weeks." "Whew!" Nina breathed again. 1 feel better. Let's have a drink on this." She crossed over to a ta ble, lifted the glass top and began to do things to the Dottles and glasses. Richard came to help her. "Of course I know that I don't Intend to beat Honey, or make her miserable, out you nave no way of knowing it You're being a mar velous sport and I certainly ap- Jireciate it ... I may as well con ess that I was terribly nervous." That was his first speech. He hadn't been nervous at all; eager to make a good impression, cer tainly ... a Tittle amused perhaps, but never nervous. Nina felt Inclined to dislike him SAN rRANCISCO, Oct. 30. (API Russell Q.

Nina thought she had never seen any body more sure of himself; who looked more as though he would know the right thing to do in any conceivable situation. . . . And then she smiled, because he had said the right thing after all. He had put on a little show for Honey, just as she, Nina, had been doing. "Nervous! Isn't he ridiculous, Nina? How could you help adoring him?" , "I do believe your mother is prejudiced." And Honey beamed. "Well, don't be too sure of me, young fella!" said Nina. "I'm only taking you under advisement un derstand, and the first black and blue mark on Honey . . . pht! you go out on your ear!" She raised er brandy. "Here's to the bride." Her glass tinkled in the open fireplace, and a second after, Rich ard's. . Honey looked so radiant and young, that it was absurd to have her for a mother.

There's all tomorrow to talk in. , . . You two run along. I'll lock up." "She's right, sweetheart," said Richard. "You've had a big day," and he took his wife's two little white hands and pulled her up off the low couch. . . . Honey never could get up alone. Nina kissed her mother and whispered a "God bless you," as her father used to do, and as she had done ever since he died; and then she felt her hand in Richard's firm clasp, for a minute. "Goodnight ... my dears," and she ran out and down the stairs partly because she had to put out the lights on the first floor, but mostly because she couldn't bear to see her mother and Richard go down the hall and into the big double room that Honey had shored with daddy. But when she had touched all the switches, and bolted the front door, she had to come up again. Her own room was on the third floor; and as she passed net mother's, she heard Honey saying; "Do you, Richard?" and then hn low laugh. Ten minutes later Nina lay in her own bed. She had the large front room over the library. Two windows faced north on 74th street; the hangings were of heavy satin. At one window they were all draped over to the left side and caught up rather high; at the other, they were swirled to the right One was peach and one was orown. The walls were the delicate color of the inside of a cockle shell There was not too much furniture; some of It was satinwood, and some of it was painted quite beautifully, the same shade as the walls, with designs of deeper peach, and brown, and touches of soft green In a way, It was a decorator's room but not really, for Nina had clone it herself.
