T HOPE you don't think 1 was
criticizing you when I said
we were going to ducusi bigger
things than lamb chop from now
on," Henry said. "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

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!"
