Fear paralysed her for an agon bed gecond and then, bracing her self against the lash of spray, she ran along the darkened deck. Her beret blew off In the wind. Her shoes slipped on the wet floor. And all the time, staccato sharp behind her came hurrying steps. It she could reach the salon door she would be safe. Panting, she came to the door and swung herself against It In the muffled light of the room, almost deserted now before the dinner hour, she breathed a quick prayer of relief. The safety of the room gave her courage. Cautious ly, she opened the door a crack. Leaning against the deck rail directly opposite was a man's Imirhed flcure. hat nulled low on his forehead. In the darkness he was nothing more than a silhou ette. Mary waited no longer. When she reached her cabin, her maize hair tumbled on her shoulders and her blue eyes were wide. A NNA, awaiting her, looked up with a shy smile of greeting, then asked Quickly, "What's wrong? You're trembling." "It's nothing," Mary answered. "I'm Imagining things. Ever since the boat sailed I've been on edge, "But something must have star tled you. You're white as a ghost' Mary took off her tweed coat slowly. "You'll probably think I'm crazy, but it's true something did startle me. I could have sworn a man was crouched behind the companion way watching me. And I'm almost sure he followed as far as the salon door." Anna's hand flew to her mouth in a gesture of fear. "Oh I won der what it means. So many, strange things are happening in this war that it's enough to make you lose your mind. Spies are everywhere. You don't know when you're being shadowed or why. No one u saie. nicu, u ww voice growing bitter, "I hate war I hate It Why must people tor ture and kill each other?" I She broke into sobs. Mary, sorry let once that she had startled the frail Anna, reached out a comfort ing hand. "I probably imagined the whole thing. Most likely it iwas what we call in Yankee slang a "pipe dream.' Let's forget it . "And what's more, Anna Win We've stayed in this cabin a if we were in hiding. We've got to Istep out you and L Well go up to dinner in a blaze of glory.' ! Anna looked up uncertainly. . -''Mary, aware again of how strangely drawn she was to this wisp of an English girl, continued, "I was considered a clever stylist in Paris before the war started. I know what clothes .can do to people. Well dress gorgeously to night and forget the war." "That would be fun." Anna's eyes lighted for a second and then sobered. "I'm sorry, but I can't go. All I have are my uniforms . and the plainest clothos. I haven't anything for a party." "But look! I have trunks full of clothes. Ill pick out a frock that will do exactly for you. You're just about my size and height When I've dressed you up, you'll be ravishing." . Mary began shuffling through the closet where the beautiful gowns had been hung. Her eyes ; glistened when she came to the Robin Hood red frock, slim bodiced and with a skirt that fell in rippling cascades of chiffon. ' In the darkness of the closet she . pressed its folds to her face. This was the dress she had worn the night when she had first met Vin cent, auaaeniy, au uie rapture 01 her romance came flooding back. She remembered Vincent's first words after they had been intro duced. "Is it you or the dress that's so gorgeous?" he had asked with that intriguing uplift of his left brow. Demurely she had answered, "It's the dress." And all the time, of. course, she was trying not to how her breathlessness at meet ing this gentleman soldier. Vincent had answered: "Why, to be sure. Probably when I meet you for lunch tomorrow I'll ask myself how I could have thought rou were the most beautiful girl d ever seen." It had been like that. Swift, inevitable, a love that had thrown them together in the midst of a war-mad world. au mat was in rans in Sep tember. This was now, aboard the Moravia, plowing through winter seas to New York. JJARY turned to Anna with the red dress. ;This if what you're going to wear." Anna Winters touched the crim son dress. "Oh, no, I couldn't," she protested. "It's too beautiful for me. I'd be out of placa in it t couldn't" "But you will," Mary said firm ly, "and we're going to start rlght( now to make you a knockout" Anna's brown hair was brushed into a swirl with clusters of curls pinned over her ears to give breadth to the pinched face. All the tricks of the trade Mary had learned as a fashion designer were brought into play. The new flag-red lipstick, the tawny pale powder, the alluring eye shadow paste these came out cf a kit to make Anna blossom from drabness to charm. Mary's own shimmery lingerie. sheer stockings, and gold slippers went on her cabin mate. And lastly, the Robin Hood scarlet dress. Anna Winters gasped as she stared at the mirror. She was lovely! "There." said Mary, "while Rome bums you're going to dance, Anna. You look like something out of a fairy tale a beautiful damsel waiting for a Prince Charming to claim you. And who knows, maybe one will." Anna glowed with an inward, radiant happiness. "I'll wait for you," she said. Mary shook her head. "No, you're to make your entrance alone. I'll join you later after I've had a chance to make myself properly alluring." The English girl's eyes suddenly brimmed with tears. "I want you to know," she began in a muted voice, "that you ve made me nap pier tonight than I've ever been in my life." For a minute, the two girls looked at each other the gentle governess and the American styl ist, so unnice, ana yei ai wis min ute, so strangely the same.
