Honeymoon Begin

Room A closed softly.

streamlined express
train sped on into the night.
And Henry and Luella were
alone.
All the thrill and excitement of
church wedding in a not so
large town was over. The music,
the fragrance, the color, the
flowers, the cheesecloth tacked
down over the red velvet carpet,
and Miss Winnie Williamson
singing "Oh, Promise Me," were
all things of tha past
Luella was Henry's. Henry was
Luella'. Until death did them
part!
"Gosh, but you're beautiful,
Mn. Pell!" said Henry.
"Thank you, sir." said Luella.
"You're not half bad yourself . , .
You must have an awful time
convincing people that you're not
Bobert Taylor'
? "No need laying It on that thick,
my darling." Henry grinned as he
shook rice from his coat collar.
A1 MX to take the bitter with
' the better, as Jane Ace would put
It!" he asked.
"Yes, all set," said Luella. "But
till a bit dazed over you marry
ing me instead of glamour girl
like Marie."
"That," said Henry, "is a heck
of a thing to say. And on your
honeymoon, tool
"I suppose it Is," said Luella
thoughtfully. She stood looking
at her very new husband, adoring
him, feeling all choked up inside
as 'she realized that he now be
longed to her and to her alone.
"Oh, Henry, dearest, I do love
you. It'a simply wonderful being
married to you."
"I bet you say that all your
husbands!' Henry laughed. He
held out his arms. "Come here.
Mrs. Henry Randolph Pell. Don't
be shy no one's looking."
"Precious idiot!" Luella said.
She went to Henry, snuggled
elose, held him tightly against
her. What a blessed, blessed re
lief not to be afraid any more.
Gone was the uncertainty, the
fear that maybe Henry didn't love
her after all, didn't want her for
his wife. No more terrible nights
of lying awake, wondering if in
the end Marie would become Mrs.
Henry Randolph PelL
No, It was all settled now.
Henry had married her, Luella
May Brown, the girl with the old-
fashioned namt and the old
fashioned ideas about marriage,
and not Marie Mason, the girl who
was going placea in the world of
the radio.
"How about a kiss?" said
Henry. He put his finger under
Luella's chin and lifted her face.
"What's the idea, hiding down
there among my lapels?
Luella closed her eyes and held
her breath. She always did this
when Henry kissed her.
"Mine forever and forever,"
said Henry.
"Yours in this world," said
Luella, "and in all tha worlds to
come."
They stood silent for a time,
very close very much in love.
And then a voice outside brought
them back to realization of where
they really were--in a Pullman
"Las' call for dinnah!" said the
voice. "Las call for dinnahl . . .
Dinin' car in the reah."
Henry held Luella off a ways.
smiled down into the misty gray
ness of her eyes.

HOW about eating?" he said.
"Maybe I'm being unroman-
tic or something to think of food
at a time like this, but, honestly,
honey, I'm starved.
bo am 1, aaid Luella.
"Gosh, sweetness," said Henry.
"You're a girl after mv own
heart! You can be romantic, and
look romantic and yet you atill
enjoy eating."
"I adore eating in a diner," said
Luella. "It makes me feel so
luxurious and important."
Angel!
"And speaking of eating." Lu
ella went on, "I certainly didn't
have time for much at the recep
tion. You know, getting out of
my veil and wedding gown, and
into this smart-looking traveling
ensemble." She took a step back
ward, ran her slender hands down
her hips and thighs. "It is a smart
ensemble Mr. Pell, Just in case
you didn t know."
"Luella Brown Pell, you'd look
grand to me in sack-cloth and
ashes," said Henry. "Only don't
take me too literally and start
wearing 'em. We've got thinga to
live up to when we reach our
destination, so my wife must stay
smart-looking." He flicked a
grain of rice from Luella'a red
gold hair. "Now," he said, "you
look like a very adorable young
woman who's gotten used to be
ing married and likes It."
"I do like being married," said
Luella. "But I don't want to look
too much that way." She glanced
into a mirror. "I don't, do 1?"
"Oh. nol Not more than a
couple of husbands ditched out In
Reno," Henry said. Then when
he saw Luella shudder, he asked:
"Did I say something I hadn't
oughter?"
"No. Henry . , , Only well
I lust don't like even to think of
Reno. I never did think divorce
was a ioking matter."
"You silly, serious kid!" said
Henry, mixing his adjectives.
'There's one thing we can know
you and I and that's this: di
vorce will alwaya be a ioke, so
far as we're concerned . . . And
as for Reno well, honey, tha''j
as remote as as the pot of goia
at tne rainbows end.
Luella looked up at him.
"You're sure of that" she said
"Of course I am!" Henry said
witn emphasis. "You re an old
fashioned girl, especially where
marrying comes in. and I know
darn well you'll not let me get
away!" He chuckled. "Now, let's
go eat ... I don t look too groom
ish, do I?"
-no, darling. You look like a
settled married man. Only there
is a sort of pleased expression on
that handsome mug of yours."
"And why shouldn't there be?"
Henry retorted. "Didn t I marry
myself the loveliest girl in my
old hometown? And didn't I "
"No, you didn't," said Luella.
"Marie was the loveliest girl in
your old hometown. Don't you
remember the voting in high
school, and how Marie got almost
twice as many votes as any other
girl, and how she "
"Nonsense!" said Henry. "And
don't interrupt. I repeat; didn't
I marry myself the loveliest girl
in my old hometown, and am I
not speeding toward New York
to take over a swell Job? Gosh,
Luella, I've got a right to look
pleased. I feel downright smug."
Luella slipped her hand into
his.
"Anyway, Henry Pell." she said,
"you make me feel terribly happy
talking like that."
"Making you happy," said Hen
ry, "is my lifework from now on."
They went out of the drawing
room and down through the car.
A man eyed them over the top
of a newspaper. "Thev look like
something right out of Holly
wood, ne thought, losing interest
entirely in the war news he had
been reading.
"They're bride and groom,"
said another man. "I saw them
get on at a little jerk-water town
back in North Carolina." He
shrugged wearily. "Some men
have all the luck."
"Well you had a honeymoon,
didn't you?" said the flashily
The Pells were unconscious of the impression they made.

"Yep! Sure I did such as It diner upon boarding the train,
was. Only the woman I married Luella could aee them, as she
had more love for -my cash than ! s'd "Pn the lonely atation

"Really?" The woman laughed
mirthlessly. "Well, you certainly
didn't think I was marrying you
for your looks, did you?"
An elderly woman looked up
from her knitting as Henry and
Luella passed, leaving some stray
grains of rice behind them. "What
lovely children a couple like that
will have," she sighed. And her
eyes filled with tears as she
thought of the children she had
dreamed about the bov and the
girl who had never been born.
While Luella and Henry, all un
conscious of the various imDres-
sions they were making, went on
toward me diner.
About Marie
THEY reached it at last, and
were given a table for two.
As they sat down. Luella again
thought of Marie Mason.
She visualized Marie sitting as
she now sat, facing Henry Pell.
For Marie had sat like that once
upon a time.
It was when she was going up
to New York to try for a radio
engagement, and when Henry had
been called to New York for an
platform watching the long line
of Pullman cars slide past.
And no one would ever know
the ache that had been in her
heart on that unforgettable eve
ning. Marie, looking so radiant,
and Henry, looking so proud.
"Why, they are just like a honey
mooning couple!" she had thought.
Two successful people going out
into the world together, one hav
ing been a hit over a small broad
casting station, and the other
having made an Impression on the
head office way up in Manhattan.
And she, who had never done
anything but keep house for a
maiden aunt, and love Henry
Randolph Pell with all her pas
sionate nature, was left behind.
It had been horrible, and Luella
would never forget the lost feel
ing she had experienced the
fear that had gripped her.
Suppose Henry didn't come
back. . . . Suppose he decided that
it was Marie whom he loved after
all. , , Suppose that once he and
Marie were together in New
York. Henry would begin to feel
that Marie was the girl who was
best suited to become the wife of
an up-and-coming business man.
It all came back to Luella now,
as she sat in the diner watching
Henry order their dinner.
But Henry had come back. He
had taken her hungrily into his
arms, and told her that he felt
confident he would soon be
called to fill an important va
cancy in the Ntw York office.
Eager. Excited. Holding her
close. Laying his warm cheek
against hers. Tenderly caressing
her hair.
"And when they do send for
me," he had gone on, "we'll make
the trip up a combination honey
moon and business iourney. Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Randolph Pel)
going out into the big and busy
world to make names for them
selves!" "But how about Marie?" she
had asked. "I mean, how did she
make out?"
"Splendidly!" Henry had re
plied. "I stayed over a few days
longer than I'd planned so's to
hear about her audition. One of
the radio men said she could put
more feeling into a song than any
one he'd ever heard. All that's
left for Marie to do now it get a
sponsor and put her name on tha
dotted line. And then just watch
her go!"
Luella had watched her go.

EVANGELIST SEES
Evangelist Rev. O. R. Schwab
poke to a well-filled auditorium
last night at the Medford Church
sill
of the Nazarene, Holly at First,
despite heavy rain. The speak
er s topic was What I Saw in
European War Torn Capitals."
Mr. Schwab said, "I saw Ger
many feverishly preparing for
her international war exploita
tions. "Hitler," said the speaker,
"gained his power by creating
Jobs for the hungry people of
his Nazi reign; by creating Jobs
through the many munition
factories. Having sold himself
to them, thus, he turned around
and demanded of them a loyalty
that involved the risk of their
lives In his military conquests."
Answering the question, "who
is going to win the war?" the
Evangelist said, "It will not be
Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, or
Churchill. Instead, every pro.
phetic utterance of the Bible
points to a culmination of the
present conflict in the battle of
Armageddon, in which God Him
self will be the victor."
The speaker declared America
"with all of her God-forgetful
nrss, will not go without some
