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."

along the deck. Tommy followed
her, feeling low and defeated.

probably have died laughing, if I'd

"I'm sorry." said Luella. "I saw

"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.

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

"We've got a dock, as you know.

"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.

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
