Newspaper Page TextPAGE EIGHT YESTERDAY: It could havt been perfect weekend aboard Malcolm Rector" yacht lor thm young Mr. and Mr. Henry Pelt, Luclla PH thought- But now Hairy it playing whit Maria Mason If tinoinp, and Lualla can tea quit clearly that Htnry'i in trrtst in Man it vitiblt to everybody elee in the maynitcent saloon of the yacht. And the doc ot like it Chapter 12 Tommy Propose BEFORE Alma could reply. Marie began singing. Every one settled back to listen. Luella closed her eye. She could tee the cotton fields down home, and hear the darkies singing. She could al most feel the burning sun, and the touch of white bursting pods. She was hoping that the others felt the same way about it, when the song came to an end. There was a round of applause, and Henry reached for another score. He and Marie went through all the songs. There were five of them, and they made Luella ter 'ribly homesick. Again she wished that Henry had kept his Job down home, that they were down there now with their own sort, instead of up here on a yacht with a lot of worldly people and that Latham woman lnnkinc at her as though she were something under glass, or that ought to be there. Tommy winked at her, and went over to where Marie was standing. He laid his hand upon her arm. Marie excused herself to the others, and went out with him. "What a glorious night!" she said when they were standing where the moonlight spilled over them. "What was it you wanted to tell me. Tommy? You sounded urgent just now when you asked me to come out with you." "I wanted to tell you that I love you," said Tommy, "mat i want you to marry me now right away." "Is that all?" said Marie. ' "Listen, darling," Tommy went on, sinking down about to one knee. "I love you. I wan you for my wife. I'm perfectly willing for you to go on with your career, If that's what you want, but I want you." "Do get up off your knee. Tom my," said Marie. "Someone might lee you. You look too silly." "Do I?" said Tommy, crest fallen. "I should say so," Marie re- Flied. "Tommy, you're sweet, and m fond of you, but " "I've heard you say that to half a dozen men," Tommy cut in. "I want you to love me, Marie, mar ry me. It's time we were married and settled in our own nome. Marie eared at him. "Try not to be cross. Tommy," she begged, "Try to understand, please. I couldn't bear not having you un derstand what I'm trying to say." "What is it you are trying to lay?" Tommy wanted to know. "What I mean, is well I'm so sort of all mixed up." "How do you mean?" "About you Henry Luella ntyself. But it's about Henry most ly." Marie hesitated, took a deep breath, and said: "You see, Tom my, I I think I'm still in love with him." Tommy stared at her, the girl there beside him, the girl in crim son chiffon over which the moon light was pouring a coat of purest silver. "You're talking utter drivel," he said presently. "You know that Henry is happily married to Lu ella, and that you've no right to butt in." "I'm not so sure about Henry being happily married to Luella, said Marie. ''Nor am I so sure I haven't the right to interfere." "Listen, Marie," said Tommy quietly, trying to keep the anger he felt out of nis voice, "don't get the idea you are up against a mis understood husband, or anything like that Henry Pell knew per fectly well what he was doing when he married Luella instead of you. So keen out of his life, don't meddle with his private affairs. Forget Henry, and marry me. I'll help you forget him I think It's only a sort of hang-over from a school crush anyway," Failure I WONDER," said Marie gadly. 1 And then: "I want more time to think. Tommy, before talking marriage. Let's leave things as they are until we fee how this program goes over. I'll be pretty nusy for awhile, working with Mr. Rector, and Henry, and " "You mean you're going on working with Henry, now the onr are done?" said Tommy. "Why, yes, of course. Henry's terribly interested in radio, you know, and I need him to coach me. He knows just how I should sing the songs, and he's got a sort of of radio ear. Didn't vnu hear Mr. Rector at dinner, when he said the radio world needed men Uke Henry?" "Yes. I heard, raid Tommy. "But Henry came up here to work with a big realty company. And t think a good old reliable realty company is a better gamhle for him then radio if you ask me." "Well, I didn't ak you." said Marie crossly. "Coma on, let's go back inside."

"I want " Mane ignored him, and hurried along the deck. Tommy followed her, feeling low and defeated. It didn't work " ha was telling Luella a few moment later. '1 only went down on one knee, but Marie wasn't Impressed. Sh thought I looked silly She would probably have died laughing, if I'd gone aown on Doin Knees. "I'm sorry." said Luella. "I saw you go out with her, and went richt to craving. I reckon my prayers are just no good." Of course thig- are, said Tom. my. "And so are you. xoure a grand girl, Luella, and with tha slightest encouragement I could fall in love witn you." "On the rebound, so to speak," said Luella. Nothing of the sort." said Tom my with considerable feeling. "Maybe u s you i m tailing in love with, after all and not Marie." Malcolm Rector called to them to say that Henry's mint julips were ready. They walked over to a table about which the other guests were grouped. "To the success of our pro gram!" said Mr. Everett. He nodded toward Henry. "Here'i hoping you'll think matters over. Pell, and come in with us if we can find a good opening." "ThanWs!" anM Hpnrv Vipnmlne like a happy kid. "I think I'd like that." Mrs. Everett smiled upon them alL "I think this is turning out to be one of the nicest parties I've ever attended," she said. "I want all of you to come out to our placs one week-end soon." "Why not stop off there tomor row?" Mr. Everett suggested. "We've got a dock, as you know. Rector and a good stretch ol bathing beach." "Fine!" said Rector. "Everyone agreeable?" "Of course," said Marie, Tom my, and Alma in unison. "I think it's a great idea." said Henry. He glanced at Luella. "You do too, don't you, honey?" Yes," said Luella. "it ougnt to be fun." Again she saw Alma Latham eyeing her, and felt uncom fortable. The tall young woman was like a sort of female menace. stalking, stalking, looking ai though she was just waiting for something dramatic to happen, something even tragic. Home Again BUT stopping off at the Everett place was not to be. A violent storm blew up early Sunday morning. It raged on and on until mid-afternoon. It was impossible to put in anywnere. ''it looks.'' said Mr. Rector, "as though we'll have to put back to New York." Everyone expressed regret and disappointment everyone but Luella. She was glad that the trip was to end. She was tired of the party. Henry hadn't been at all like himself all day. First he had been terribly afraid he was going to be seasick. Then when he discovered that he was a pretty good sailor after all, he gave all nis attention to Marie, who wasn't such a good sailor. Tommy looked unhappy, Luella thought, and felt sorry for him. Mrs. Everett lost her lunch. Alma Latham said a lot ol things that had double-meanings, when she wasn't hanging on t( Malcolm Rector's arm and saying things to him under her breath The party was a washout, so fai as Luella was concerned. In spiti of the fact that it had started out rather well. It was late when they found themselves again in the yacht basin at Seventy-ninth Street The Everetts' car was parked where they had left It the day before, so they drove off in that. Malcolm Rector said he would remain on the yacht over night, and Alma said she wouTd stay with him for the evening meal. Tommy sug gested to Henry that he and Lu ella join him and Marie for dinner some place nearby. "I think I'd prefer going home," said Luella. "1 feel a little shaky not yet gotten mv land legs." Henry glanced at her. It was easy to see that he was disap pointed. Marie shrugged. "There's more work to do on that cotton field song," she said. "So you'd better come over to my place tomorrow night Henry, so we ran get it In shape." "Right!" said Henry. The change from the minor is a bit too sudden. You might see what the composer can do about that." "I'll call him In the morning," Marie said. "But we can work on the places where the meter isn't quite right." It was when Luella and Henry were alone in their own home that Henry said: "Weren't you a bit abrupt in replying to Tommy' suggestion that we go some place for dinner?" "No," snid Luclla "Anyway, I didn't mean to be. Henry. I was tired. Not being able to feel really at ease was trying. It got me down. Frankly, I got a little bored after the first few hours." "Bored?" said Henry. 'With all those people who are doing things in the world!" "Maybe that's why I was bored If Tommy hadn't taken nitv on mi i now and then I certainly wouV have been the forgotten woman. T be eentlnaed WHITNEY PAROLE EFFECIIVEAUG.il Osslning. N. Y..
