Locki KM C-i-.., ui iht movies and drops in at the ehoii the next day to Celt her so. He it grtatly perturbed when Cecily explains tht innocent It about Her fianti leading to Phil ip' arrloal at Darelea. Later, Cecily preparei or Mrs, Brew tter1! formal dinner. Chapter 24 Dinner Party THE marigoldj. The orange mari gold! that the had intended to thrust Into the sash of her frock. The frock wai so plain, she really needed them. And sne nad tor' gotten them. Cecily looked at her wristwatch lying on the dresser. It was almost seven, in otners would De al ready dressed and in the drawing room. She'd have time to slip down the back itain and out to the garden by the back joor. She picked up the long skirt of ner irock and, still in her soit bath slippers, stepped out into the hall. She walked along, her head bent, wondering If she should stick to all-orange or if she could add some ot the late pink zinnias. "Oh. hellol Fancy seeing you here!" Philip, his face as pink as the powers she had been thinking of. rounded the corner ot the cor ridor leading from the guest part or me main nouse into me en where Cecily's and the servants rooms were. "Nothing so strange about it. Philip. This is where I live." She wasn t thinking very much about it, except that sne was rather in a hurry to get down to the garden and clip her flowers before it was too dark to see what she was cutting. "As a matter of fact, I was look ing for you," Philip said. "Yes, you're really the domestic little one around here. Are you very good at tying dress ties? "Not a bit," she answered blithe ly. "Besides, yours appears to be quite penect. You u nave to think of a better excuse than that. I'm afraid." Cecily's unintentional shaft truck home. For a brief moment Philip Callen appeared to be more anrry than nonplussed. "I'm afraid that you're preju diced in my favor, he replied sardonically, recovering quickly. "Are you truly?" Cecily said and made to move on. "I know darned well that you're not . . . well, if you think I'm a bit of all right, I'll accept your opin ion." He turned and went back the way he had come. Cecily's thoughts almost Imme diately returned to her task. Before they did, she had a peculiar impression that Philip was very angry with her, not merely an novrd. When she came Into the drawing-room a half-hour later, she dismissed the thought with a shrug. Philip, impeccable, impres sive in his tails, was his most urban scir. The drawing-room seemed to ny, "We are all going to a party." There was an air of expectancy about it. There were the same people there, doing the same things, yet there was an atmos phere that filled Cecily with a pleasant sense of anticipation. A Sapphire Bauble DERHAPS it's our clothes, she thought. Her eyes moved ap preciatively to all of them in turn. Aunt Olivia in frosty maroon crepe. Reminding you Instantly of the mezzanine tier of boxes at the Metropolitan. Look at her and you think of delegations of admirers bringing her roses. Brunhilde back-stage. The magnificence of all operatic traditions. A psycho logical magnificence with all the new orop going Into the movies, mezzo sopranos looking like school-girls who will inherit the seats of today's mighty? Olivia got up and crossed the room. Cecily giggled, thinking how quickly the action followed her thnughta and how silly It would sound If the vera to explain it She took a cigarette from Manual's proffered case. While he held his lighter, first to hli own elgarette and then to hers, she thought! He looks very distinguished Philip does. too.

She had a quick picture of Locke In tails. A picture that would take away a jirl's breath Helen Fernandas same Into the room, vrsppaii roluminous velvet roal over her yellow dress Ugh' Yellow with that sallow skin Cecily looked quickly herself reflected mellowly in the long French windows, made Into a mir ror by the background of night that was swiftly (ailing "Are we reedy V' Gloria asked, alreadr bored Philip was holding Cecily's coat for her. Olivia organized things. "Helena, you and Tony and Gloria and I will go In the town car. Cecily, you won'l mind soln In the station wagon with Philip. Armando and Manuel?" "Where's Tony?" Helene de manded. "She was dressed before I was H Gloria said. "J can't Imagine what s keeping her." "Speaking of angels." Tony said IF WAR IS DECLARED WASHINOTON, 8pt.

He aleo left the Impression with reporters n aetlon of any kind would be rait ad conwnilinr RiiMla'a Jarttto fQlAni uuui flxlUia od 1 Lodiinvar Blizard" in her cool, clipped voice, coming down the wide flight of stairs. Cecily was struggling with her coat. Siie coudn't seem to find the sleeve and Philip was of little use. His hands were clumsy. "Sorry to keep you all waiting," Tony said. She moved into the drawing-room, swinging her pale chiffons cleanly as though she were cutting through them witn ner stride. She went directly to the table and opened a cigarette box. She lit her own cigarette and blew a ring of smoke into the air. "I was look ing for a bauble that I wanted to wear with this frock," she said. "Well, come along, dear. We don't want to be late. Mrs. Brew ster is a stickler for punctuality. She said dinner at eight." Olivia was trying to get her party to gether. "What kind of a bauble?" Philip said to Tony. "A sapphire bracelet. It doesn't really matter . . . only I was quite sure I had seen it there when I got out my clip this morning." "You've probably misplaced it," Philip consoled. Tony didn't answer. She swept a deep blue velvet cape over her shoulders. It wasn t easy getting a party of eight off in two cars. Everyone ap parently wanted to be self-sacrificing and ride in the station wagon. Olivia was mildly exas perated and finally managed things her own way to discover that she had forgotten her evening purse when they were ready to start. Philip went back for it. "It can't be Vickersnort! Cecily murmured to Manuel Fernandez while she stood beside him in front of the hearth in Mrs. Brewster's drawing-room. Page From The Past SHE sipped her dry sherry no cocktails were served at Mrs. Brewster s and olaved with the fancy that the station wagon had been a magic carpet. It couldn't be that outside, within calling dis tance of these high ceilinged rooms, there were the familiar simplicities. Caldcr's lobster store. Her own small book-shop. Sim plicities and informalities. She was glad that she had never before seen the inside of this great house She would never have dared to in vite the austere Mrs. Brewster to her own party, served her from paper plates. The slender-stemmed glass that she held in her hand .ang with the touch of a fingernail. The design of its cutting caught and reflected points of light from the number- ess candles that studded the cut- glass sconces on either side of the old-fashioned hearth, the chande lier that hung from the center of the high ceiling. It was amazing what a brilliant light the candles gave, how theatrically it set off the appointments ot the room. Horse hair and needlepoint. Carved rose wood and black marble. Snuff boxes and old - fashioned photo graphs in carved silver Irames. There were no ash-trays. At Cecily's left, the long, narrow windows were shrouded m drawn damask curtains of rich amethyst Cecily, sipping her sherry, thought: If I were to peer through them I should not see Vickersport on a mild September evening. 1 should see Boston's Common wealth Avenue on a crisp wintry night in the Nineties. There would be a hansom cab stopping before the house. I would be Hulling my bustle, touching a nervous finger to my frizzed bang, biting my lips to make them red because the gen tleman getting out of the cab the f entlom.m in the silk hat, looking ike Richard Harding Davis would be Locke. She knit her brows together and looked into the amber liquid in her glass as she raised it; the picture was wrong somehow she couldn't fit Locke into any theatrical pic tures. It was Philip who fitted the atrical roles. She looked around for Philip. She couldn't see him. She wondered when, if ever, they wers going in to dinner. It seemed an hour sinre she had been presented to Lndy Rathbone, Lord Rathbone.the dusty Misses Smith ers from Portland. Tony Richardson crossed the room and stood at Cecily's side. "You're quite sure we were in vited for dinner?" she murmured. Cecily smiled wanly, conveying her complete understanding. "1 wouldn't be a bit surprised to find Governor Bradford on my left and Governor Brewster on my right." Tony's Innocent expression Indicated that she was engaged in the most polite conversation as she continued, "What did you think of the 'powder room'? I can t wait to get back and look back of things." Cecily found it hard to keep a straight face. The "powder room," or ladles' dressing room was a bed room. Big. Black. Overpowering. Gargantuan furniture, a dresser with a dish of large bone hairpins and a jar of talcum powder as overtures to modern necessities of make-up. They had been directed to it by an elderly maid-servant "Ladies' dressing room on the right. Gentlemen will please leave their things in the bedroom at the end of the hall." Cecily had wanted to peek Into the rooms she passed in that long, narrow hall. Echoes of the past al ways fascinated her. Later, sipping soup that could have been nothing less than nectar, Cecily thought that it couldn't have been so completely unpleas ant living in the Nineties if they had food like that.
