TOE TOURTKTW MEDFORD MATL TRTBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 1941. lvWATKIN a.wiMTa TISTCRDAY: It teas too pood to last. Luslla end Henry PtU put havt been marrUa, and Just hunt Milled in charming New York apartment. while Henry Httlu hlmsslf in hit ntw and very good Job. And thm Maria Mason calls up. and asks that they hear nor broadcast, Maria baina th homttown eirl thai Hanry almost married. Now they hat mat Maria atr her broad ca,t, and turtle it thinking about former day. Chapter Six SUtjr-Flve Floor Up MARIE kissed LueUa, and she kissed Henry, while a lot of people looked on with amused Interest "Gosh, Marie," said Henry In a breathless fashion, "you were great! Boy, was I proud of youl "So was I." said Luella. "But I kept thinking about the time you sang a solo in the Methodist church choir and forgot your words. Remember?" "Yes, I remember," said Marie. "But there's no time for reminis- "And the time." said I.uella, "when you forgot to take of! your apron, ana mere u was wnea you nt itn to sinff!" Marie frowned. She turned to Tommy. "Oh, Tommy, darling, I'm sor ry!" she said, catching his hand. "LueUa, Henry, this is Tommy." Sh lauahed. ''Formally speaking, Mr. and Mrs. PelL this is Mr. Mclntyre." "Hello, Luellal Howdy, Henryl" aid Tommy. ..it i.. . n ..tj tr.-. Then, grinning, he looked at Lu ella. and said, "Say, 'howdy to Tommy, honey." "Howdy, Tommyl" said Luella. Marie let her lovely eyes move over the three peopla gathered about her. "This is on of the happiest moments of my life," she said. "My three dearest and best friends all here with me at one time! Now, let's get the elevator for the Rainbow Room. We're coins to celebrate." Tommy took Luella' arm. and Henry took Marie's, as they en tered a car that shot them up to ward the stars. Sixty-five floors above the side walks of Manhattan, Marie de manded a table near tha dance floor and aot It "Yes, Miss Mason," said the dignified man who met them. "Yes, Mis Mason. Right this wav. When they were seated. Tom my looked at Marie and smiled. Just like thatl" he said. "And he get what she wants." "Like rubbing Aladdin' lamp,' aaid LueUa. Marie shrugged. "In New York. mv dears." she said, "one has to be demanding or on get lost under loot. "Champagne cocktails for all of us," Tommy said then. "My treat for old home week." He turned to Luella. "Oh," he said, "maybe you'd prefer something else, Luella. Marie always takes champagne cocktails, and so " "I've never tasted one." said Luella. "but I'm dying to." "Then champagne cocktail it (hall be!" The waiter went away. General conversation began. Luella could feel Tommy Mc lntyre gaze upon her now and then. He had a ort of puzzled, sur prised look. "Probably expected to see a dumpy little country gal," the thought. She smiled to her self, rather liking the taste of the champagne, a beverage she bad aeen only In the movies. "And so you really liked me?" Marie was saying to Henry. "You were swell. Marie," ssld Henry and Luella, hearing, had the feeling that (he had heard Henry say those words at least a dozen times. "And while I watched you and listened, I kept remembering how you looked be side the river on the night when you told me you wanted a career more than anvthing else In the whole world. Remember?" "Do I?" said Marie. "Of course I do." Looking Bark AS IF she hadn't been remem bering every moment of that night from the first glimpse she had got of Henry wailing for her there in New York'a tall Building. So handsome, so sure of himself, with his football shoulders, his narrow hips his long straight legs, and the smile she wojld never forget if she lived to be a hundred and one years old. She had rather dreaded meet ing her two old friends in so pub lic a place, not that she expected them to be boobs with hayseed in their hair, but fearful lest they be well not just quite riglit; small - tounlsh, maybe small, lownish trying to look sophisti cated. But it hadn't been that way at 1L Henry was perfect, and even Luella looked a little like Park Avenue. Henry . . . Luella . . . but especially Henry. "It was pretty decent of you. too." Henry was now raying, "to use that old song of mine. I cer tainly never expected to hear it sung over the radio." "I thought you'd be pleased." said Marie. "It goe over well, loo." "Careful, Marie." Tommy warned pood-naturedlr. "Henry will be demanding rovalties." "Not Henry." said Marie. "He's willing for me to use it fnr the take of old times. Aren't ou. Henrv?" "You bet I am!" said Henry He was flushed w ith excitement "How about another round of cocktails?" "Suit me." said Marie. "I've been a good little girl for a long time." "I'm willing." said Tommy. Til have another on too. Henry," said Luella. Henry looked at her. "Listen, honey, he said, "don't disgrace me by landing under the table." Luella didn t like that remark. "You watch your own likker, my darling," she retorted. "I'll take care of mine." Tommy laughed. "Attagirl. Lu ella!" he cheerad. "Never let a husband get the idea ha can push you around." 'Ill remember that," said Marie. "In case I ever decide to marry you. Tommy, my lamb." "There I go," said Tommy, "putting my toot In it again." "Speaking of that song of mine," said Henry to Marie, "I've got some othera. 1 used to write them during odd times. Maybe we can make aome of them go over like the one you sang." "We'll keep them in mind," said Marie. "I've got big plana for my radio career, and maybe some day 1 11 be coming to you lor material" Say, rd love that!" aald Hen ry. "Maybe I can be a song writet on the side." He grinned. "You know, write songs in between selling real estate." Tommy smiled at L,uena "Come on," he said, "let's dance." "I'd love it," aaid Luella. She would show Henry Pell h couldn't treat her like a child, turn patronizing. She'd not only dance with this good-looking young man, but (he would also have as many cocktail a ah chose to have. She went to Tommy Mclntyre' arms. She was oddly lighthearted, and she liked the feeling. They moved out upon the shin ing floor she and Tommy. T'You Southern gals are Jest natchuL bawn dancers, honey chile," said Tommy. "Thank you, suh," said Luella. "You Yankee boya aren't so bad yo'selvea. Ah like dancing with you-alL" "Oh, us Yankee aren't (o ter rible once you get to know us." Tommy chuckled. "Although 1 hear that way down South you folks still think we have horns and forked tails." "Yes," said Luella. "But that's way, way down South." New Friend AND somehow she began to feel that Tommy Mclntyre was a very real person sincere, sympa thetic, understanding and that in him she had found a genuine friend. She hoped so. For she had a pretty definite idea that she was going to need friends good, solid ones. Henry, coming In dally contact with important people down at hi office, waa steadily widening his circle of friends and acquaint ances. But not so easy, staying alone in the apartment. And al though Henry had referred to the wivea of his business associ ates as women whom she would meet, be entertained by, and en tertain, none of them had so far bothered to look her up. Yes, she was going to need friends, and Tommy was a fine beginning. "Why so silent, Luella?" Tom my asked. "I've always thought that you Southern girls never lacked for anything to say, that you always had a line." "Just another false report about us," Luella replied. "Like the one about Southerners being lazy." She smiled up at him. "I was Just doing some very, verv feminine thinking. It wouldn't interest you in the least" "Let me be the judge of that" "No. . . There's no use." "All right lady. But I am In terested in seeing more of the Pells and often. Do you mind?" "Goodness, gracious no!" said I.uella. "I'll feel terribly if you don't see a lot of us. In fact, I'm already planning to have you and Marie up for dinner." "One you cooked yourself?" "Yes. How did know?" "Oh. Marie told me about you. She aaid you were a little home body, and loved to cook." "Really?" said Luella. "Not a very flattering picture, I must say. Now I understand why you looked at me ao queerly this eve ning." "Did I look at yon queerly?" "You certainly did. You were probably looking for a flour smudge on my nose." "Wrong!" aaid Tommy. "I was looking at you intently but not queerly because I was so de lighted to discover a young wo man who was able to cook a good meal, and vet look like something out of vogueland when she stepped out in the evening to be gay." I.uella laughed happily. "Tommy Mclntyre, you've done me a peck of good saying that!" she said. "You've made my atock rise fifty percent in my own estimation at least." She glanced over her shoulder, saw Marie talking earnestly tc Henry, while Henry listened with all that was in him, a sort of rapt expression on his gotd-lookinfl face. "Let's go back to the others now," she said, not caring for tha way Henry's and Marie cheeks almost touched. "You reall should dance with Marie. )ou know." "All rigM, If you think so." said Tommy. He too glanced at the couple at the table. "However, Mane seems to be quite content with things as is!" And he was richt. Marie was content That is se was content to have Henry there with her S'ie could not keep her fcelines from showing in her eyes, nor the heartbeats from quickening when Henry's hand touched hers. Henry seeing, understanding, did some wondering. "Good I,ord." he thought "dies she still love me a little? Could I even now take her in my rm and kiss , her?"
