PAGE EIGHT Meet Mr. By Marie yiij irtU.iy; Tony, a fftrt friend a Gloria'; think ifi un ny that Cecily l engaged to Philip, became Philip looks IUc a phoney. Meanwhile, Cecily rud denly wonders If Locke Is mar Tied. Chapter 22 In Love With A Shadow WHY couldn't It be? What right V had you to assume that things were going to be the way you wanted them just because you wanted them to be? Did the man pursue you or did you pursue him? Oh, Cecily Stuart, bow uour proud head, and remember now deliberately you set about to bring Locke back into your life. Remem ber how you plannea a party nop ing he'd come. Remember how shameless you were about intritinff him to supper. Remember that it teat always he who ten you. Cecilv. in an agony of embar rassment and no little shame, dug her toes into the hooked rug, but the couldn't stop the flow of her thoughts, or change their Drutai honesty. You practically forced him into feioitina you to that first picnic. Yes, but I didn't force him Into taking me to the circus. I didn't ask him to drop into the shop that night and talk and talk. Didn't you? Isn't it an inultation to have little suppers ready for him, to show him how glad you are to have him? Isn't that an in vitation for the next time? You can't get auiay from the fact that he doesn't act enamored of you. Yes, I can. I can remember things that can't be put Into words. You can't describe the may that a man looks at you and makes you feel as though he thought you were something precious and rare. Locke has made me feel that way. Locke? Whafs the rest of his name? Why doesn't he tell you? Why does he turn ofl your ques tions with nonsensical ansuiers? Have you asked htm that one? He might have a good reason for not Wanting you to know who he is. He might have a wife. "And I might as well forget him right now," Cecily said aloud. In the most matter-of-fact way, as though she hadn't suddenly gone completely flat inside, she hang up the yellow dress, unpacked her brown satin slippers fvom the drawer in her trunk, rummaged round tor a piece of brown velvet ribbon. She did all of these things as though she were really looking forward to the Brewster dinner party, as though instead of being bright and gay and to be antici- Sated, tomorrow was now to be ifferent from fie enchanted mor rows she had '.nown since Locke tad first walked into her shop. This Locke business had gone far tnough. It was like being in love with a shadow on a silver screen, like trying to make an Impression pn a piece of India rubber. It was, b a word, unsatisfactory. If the man was married . . . No Future EVEN If he was not, what kind of a man was he? No ambition. No future. Just content to sell mushrooms, make a book-shelf, '.11 a mess of fish, a bucket of ber ries. He might as well be a beach comber. Undoubtedly he was at one time. That was the only role he hadn't claimed. Was a Cecily Stuart, of the Boston Stuarts, to loso her head over the first man that came along with a drawl in his voice and a cavalier manner? Mr. Lochinvar, indeed! Suppose he hasn't a wife? Didn't he say once that he would make a very bad husband? Had ho said then that he had been a bad hus band? Cecily knit her brow with the effort to remember. He was right. How could people live in a shack and subsist on the proceeds from the sale of fish, or shelves or mushrooms? Try as she would, Cecily couldn't convince herself that fish and mushrooms and berries were Locke's metier. It meant some thing, but what? For a moment, her thoughts darting over the com plete picture of him, halted briefly, and had she not gone on she would have had the solution. What kind of a future would I have? She said the words in her mind with cold condemnation but the pictures that rose with them were warm and bright, blinding in their beauty. What kind of a life with Locke? Would it matter if their lunch was a bit of bread and cheese If they were together on an Eng lish hillside watching the change able greens of the grasses blowing in the breeze? Would it matter that he was not a successful stock SPOT HOW FOUND AT By Atexanitrr Kahn, United PrM start CorrepondMit.

All of life would be an adven ture with Locke to share it. There could be rains and snows and ic winds but they couldn't touch you if you were a woman and had a man like Locke fur your partner His laughter would melt the snows ind make you forget the raindrops. ' But Cecily would never know. She put on her beige knitted dress, neehanically tying the belt, knot ting a kerchief about her throat. Going things. Unable to stem the : tide of her thoughts, i Three weeks more. The phrase 1 had a leaden sound. In three ! weeks, it would be October and Cecily would be returning to New York, and Vickersport the book shop, Locke, a part of a summer dream that was past. A fleecy cloud in a summer sky. Vanished into Time. A girl would be a fool to let It mark a change in her life. Cecily stuck her arms In the sleeves of her polo coat and went downstairs. She was going to the movies with Philip. Chin TJp SCRUNCH, scrunch. Sturdy boots on pebbled roads. Match your footsteps to Philip's in the beam of your flashlight. Don't look up at the stars. They're only stars, after all. What's that new pungency in the air? It's the ftrong scent of summer's last flowers. Why do growing things smell stronger at night? Is it because the sun ab sorbs the perfume in the daytime? Look it up in your botany book when you get back to New York. You'll have lots of time for im proving ycur mind when you get back to N'jw York. You won't have your eyes and ears attuned to waiting for someone then. Keep your c.iin up, it won't be so bad. Thf.re, now, don't keep your chin up, ou nearly stumbled that time and. Philip had to take your arm an J, of course, he has to get a death gvlp on it. "Please, Philip, I hate to be held onto." He shrugged his shoulders. "It's a good picture, Cecily, and you wouldn't enjoy it if you had to sit through it with a sprained ankle." Can't you say something? Must you be so ungracious? Philip's try ing to be amusing. And he did stay home when the others went off in the cruiser just so that you wouldn't be alone. Cecily, you've got a bad disposition. Think of something nice to say to him, be a reasonable sort of girl. How would you like it if some girl treated Doug this way? "Philip, you haven't told me about your new book. What's it going to be about?" Philip recaptured her elbow and held It in a firm grasp. "It's going to be a love-story this time. It's going to be about you." Cecily sighed through her teeth. She thought: I've given him a chance and, as usual, he muffs it. Is there anything I can talk about and get him going onto that is not personal? They had come onto the main street of the village and she gave up the effort. She wns glad that they would soon be sitting in the darkened theater and she would be free of her efforts. She would also by concentrating on the screen be free of her own thoughts. Locke and Philip. Philip and Locke. Where was Cecily between? She sat on the small of her back, hands thrust deep in her pockets, staring at the screen with physical intent. There was the usual news reel. A hog-cnlling contest. A Jap anese baseball game. Calisthenics in Budapest. The Notre Dame foot ball team warming up for the sea son. Hitler. The launching of a battleship. Cecily wriggled. Every time I go to a news-reel and see these things over and over again I'll think of this theater. Locke and I have never come to the movies. I'm glad we haven't, because then I'd never be able to go to another movie without thinking of him. I suppose movies are beneath him. Philip was laughing uproarious ly over an animated cartoon. Ce cily found herself laughing and, in the midst of her laughter, felt herself impelled to turn in her seat. She was sure she hadn't heard Locke laugh out loud. She had never heard him laugh out loud so she wouldn't have recognized his laugh if she had. But there she was turning around to see him staring straight ahead at the screen, not at her, and only three rows back. It was as though he had called to her, and suddenly she was angry. She hadn't seen him since the day he kissed her. Yet with the very power of his thoughts or his nearness he had been able tc command her to look at him Continued tomorrow. child. Others are In bustneas and many are settled In domestic Ufa. These youngsters found that whan they reached the ao-called awkward ae between childhood and a man's estate, the motion picture Industry had no place for them, A different view Is taken toddy by screen producers. Take Stuart Walker, for example. He feels that there ahould never have been the view that child stars reach a state In their careers when they no longer are suitable for pictures. And he uv these youngsters tn pictures. In which their age suits the roles per fectly. Walker paints to the gradual growth of such players as Jackie Cooper, Bonlta Granville. Jane With ers.
