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?"
