Chapter 34
Yacht Club
PHILIP wai hard put to divorce
the banter from the sarcasm.
Re hid behind similar banter.
"Wouldn't you be willing to starve
In a garret, Cecily?" he asked.
"With uour social gifts, we
wouldn't nave tol And then, of
course, you could always write an
other book."
He Seized on her suggestion. "As
a matter of fact, I've a great book
in mind, my girl. You Know, Ce
cily, as I've said to you before, I'm
only a weak fellow unable to re
sist the pleasant lure of your cor
dial invitations. But now , , , well,
I'm getting anxious to be at work.
If I didn't know that your aunt
was counting on me to stay around
for the concert, I'd jolly well get
out and get to work."
"Of course, she's counting on
you," Cecily murmured, wonder
ing just what he had to do with it.
"I'm going to Rio. Did I tell
you?"
"No!"
"Yes. The background of my
next novel is laid in South Amer
ica and I want to run down to get
a little local color."
"Oh. Philio. I'm so disaonolnted
I thought you were staying here
to get local colorl I was so sure
we id all be in the pages of the next
Dest-seiier.
"That wouldn't be quite cricket,
would it?"
"No, it wouldn't, and you're
strong on cricket, aren't you?"
He stole a quick glance at her
out of the corner of his eye but
. the darkness hid her face. Baffling
girl. He couldn' make up his mind
whether she was clever by acci
dent or intent.
She was silent then, tired of her
, play. The rest of the drive they
. talked very little. The next day she
took her new frock down to the
hop to show it to Laura. Laura
said it had nuijh. But it was patent

"What do you mean Thlllp Isn't

Cecily said, "Oh, his brief ardor

Laura lifted her head proudly

"ITE SAID he was ery sorry to

"And what do you make of It,
Mrs. Atwill?"
Laura said tonelessly, "What is
there to make of it? He doesn't
want to see me again. He doesn't
want to dc seen at the dance with
me. He thinks ... oh, what he
thinks is dreadful!"
Vote, see what you've done.
Cecily Stuart, petting your friends
in trouble.'
"Oh, Laura! I'm so dreadfully
sorry. That stick-in-the-mud!"
"Calling him nanvs doesn't help
any of us. Besides, I don't blame
him."
"Don't blame him? Laura At
will, haven't you any backbone?
What in Sam Hill can't you tell
him? Tell him what an idiot he is!
He's been taking you out 'spark
in', they call it up here all sum
mer. His intentions must have been
serious. So what are you afraid
of?"
Laura didn't answer her.
"If I were you, I'd send a note
right t,ver to his bank asking him
to please drop in this afternoon.
Then when he gets here, I'd back
him into a chair and say, 'Look
here, Donald Hemingway, what
sort of a girl do you think I am?'
Then I'd tell him the truth."
"It sounds easy enough, Cecily,
but it isn't," Laura was saying.
"You teem to forget that I can i
tell Donald any more than I can
tell you."
"Oh!" Cecily groaned.
A little later she said determin
edly, "We'll show Mr. Heming
way! You're coming to the dance
without him. We've two extra
men to stay at our place. The
Penny twins are coming and Dr.
Kettering, Aunt Olivia's pet phy
sician, ana a man namea rranx
Smith will be there. They'll be
delighted to have you."
"That's sweet of you, Cecily, but
I'm afraid not."
The nance was on Saturday. It
had been Wednesday when Don
ald told Laura that he had to go
awav on business. On Fridav
Cecily asked Laura if she would
change her mind.
Laura had looked pained to
have to refuse but she had been
adamant.
Then, Saturday morning. Laura
had gone to the post-office for the
mail, bringing theii joint mail
back in a bundle. Cecily took the
bunch of letters, saw that there
was one from Doug, three or four
for the shop, and one for Laura,
the latter addressed in a strong,
masculine handwriting.
She passed them on to Laura
and slit the fat, stuffed envelope
of Doug's letter.
Doug was coming home! She
skimmed the lines first to get that
news, then she read his almost un
readable scrawl slowly, page by
page.
' Doug's coming home," she an
nounced, looking up.
Laura said, "Is he? How nice!"
Her head was bent over her letter,
"If your invitation still holds good,
I think I'll accept it. I've . . . I've
changed my mind about the
dance."
"Grand!"
Laura tore her letter into In
finitesimal pieces and scattered
them on the burning hearth.

The Dance
TPONY RICHARDSON looked at
herself in Glori 's long mirror.
She smoothed the flat folds of her
green satin frock over her slim
hips. "I'll do," she said, and added
magnanimously, "We'll all do. We
ought to be the belles of the ball."
The irls Tony, Gloria, Cecily
and Laura were gathered in
Gloria'" bedroom getting their
wraps on.
Tony's guess wasn't far wrong.
The four of them were lovely to
look at. Tony herself, a slim reed
in a sheath of Dale croon sntin
Gloria had chosen a picture frock
of rich fuchsia with a billowing
iun ana sun, puireo sleeves.
Cecily was a flame in her red
gown. Laura had taken on a new
beauty with the pallor of her skin
dramatized by her cap of dark
hair, the brilliance of her tur
quoise frock.
"Well," Tony said, looking at
the pearls which Gloria clasped
about her throat, "if we're going

Cecily a gallant hand.

Don't be lone. The music Is

The ffirls crossed th floor In th
dressing-room. Cecily paused at
the door and took a sweeping, ap

"Now, aren't you glad you
