"Don't become one of those touchy' wives, dar ling." Instantly something down In side Luella seemed to tighten up. She again felt the old sense of fear. Maybe she wasn't going to be the rigbt sort of wife for Henry PelL Maybe he should have mar ried a more glamorous, adaptable sort of person. "What's the matter?" Henry asked. "You're not eating any thing." "Oh, Tm lust a bit weary," Lu ella lied. "I lost my appetite when preparing the meal, I reckon." She pushed back ber chair. "I room. Carolina's Singer of Songs was on the airl Little Marie Ma son from down below the Mason and Dixon Line! "She is lovely!" Luella whis pered to Henry. "You'd never think she once wore a tinsel gown and played the Princess in our school operetta, would you?" "No you wouldn't," said Hen ry. He was leaning forward, ex cited, eager. "She's a knockout! She looks like a pocket edition of Dorothy Lamour. "Shhhhh!" said someone. Henry sank back to listen. So did Luella. And while listening. Luella kept glancing at Henry. He was like a kid seeing his first circus, she thought, a boy carried away, out of himself com- Iiletely. And how handsome he ooked! His smart, well-tailored dark blue suit made him look even broader of shoulder. And so adorably boyish at times. Then as she realized how thor oughly Henry was taking to New York and all the excitement it of feredhow he seemed to fit in so Suiskly she remembered some ling her aunt had once said, something she had repeated Just before she died. "I like Henry," were her words, '1 like him a lot, Luella May, and I want you to be married as soon as you can, but" "Yes, Aunt Lila, but what?" "But I keep being a little afraid that if he gets a chance Henry'U hirfta s "Darlings?' Marie tried as she met them. think Til go look over my ward robe, if you'll excuse me. I want to look my best, you know." "Sure." said Henry. "Go right head. I'll clean off the table when I'm through." Ha went right on eating. In the bedroom Luella stood with her back to the closed door, her two fists clenched at her sides. Her eyes were wide and not a little fearful "I've got to make good as Henry Pella wife," she said to herself. "I've got top But she went on feeling uncer tain, frightened, in spite of her efforts to buck up. She wanted to see Marie again, to go on thinking of her as a friend, and a good one, but she dreaded the meeting. She kept re membering Marie's beauty and charm. She kept thinking that Marie would show her up, unin tentionally of course, for the smalltown girl that she was. She kept recalling how the homefolks used to wonder which of them Henry Pell would marry even making bets about it Presently she went to her clothes closet She took out a pale green din ner gown, a gown whose color always made tier hair look like burnished gold, and made her eyes seem more green than gray. It was the most flattering thing she owned, that pale green gown. And some feminine instinct told her it was the gown for the oc casion. "It'll give me a little more self confidence!" she said. And she certainly needed plenty of that . . . New World A FEW hour later Luella and Henry were sitting behind a thick glass partition in the re served section of a broadcasting station. They occupied two deep chairs from where they could look down upon the main floor of the auditorium, where other spectators sat in folding chairs. It was rather like sitting in the comfortable loge of a swank movie theater, Luella thought: like the balcony in her home town's newest theater, which had been patterned after New York's huee Music HalL The usual announcements had been made, the announcer's voice coming to them through an am plifier system that let in the sound from below but shut off from Die studio the sounds from the bal cony. And now he was Introduc ing the chief attraction. "Ladies and gentlemen, seen and unseen." he said. "I now give you Miss Marie Mason, the Caro lina Singer of Songs " A moment's silence for dramatic effect and then Marie parted the black velvet hangings and stepped forth. A signal from the control turn out to be worldly, like that high-flying Uncle Peter of his a man who was always dashing oft and getting mixed up with some beautiful and bralalesi female." The Meeting AND now Marie's song was fin ished. The broadcasting program was drawing to a close. Presently the little electric sign near the control room said "03 the air." Young men ushers were open ing doors, people began to pour out into the long, carpeted kail into which the various broadcast ing studios had their exits. ''We go this way," Henry was saying. Marie told ma to join het and Mr. Mclntyr near the In formation desk. "It is exciting, Isn't It?" Luella said beginning to react a little like she knew Henry was react- '"fy'll say It is!" Henry replied slangily. "And just think, honey, if Mr. Morgan hadn't tV"i a fan cy to me, we would still be down in North Carolina, probaly seeing a little movie with some of th old gang." Luella felt a pang of homesick ness at the words ' the old gang." She remembered the Sunday School picnics, the hay-rides, the dances, and the parties different 5 iris gave on Saturday nights . . . oe . . . Betty . . . Aline . . . Ike. . . . Couples strolling along the quiet streets, with the moonlight shining through the branches ol the elm trees, making black and white patterns upon summer or gandies and white flannels. "Would it be so dreadful," she said, "being back with the old gang?" "No, honey, not dreadful," said Henry. "But sort ot pokey. This is so much more worthwhile." "I wonder." said Luella. Henry ignored the two words "You and me." he said, "Luella and Henry Pell on our war to Join Marie Mason, who is realty some thing in the radio world. Before Luella could say any thing further she saw Marie com ing toward them, with a young man not so tall as Henry, but good-looking, well-groomed, and obviously filled with admiration for the girl beside him. And how wonderful Maria looked! So sure of herself, so breath takingly lovely. And walking In a way that was downright thrill ing like someone who was poised to her very finger lips. "Luella! Henry!" Marie cried, seeing them. That throaty, husky voice, calling out to them, calling out the names of her two home town friends. "Darlings!"
