ADVENTCRB FOR 8CK MART
v CHAPTER IV
'AND the dream had con
tlnued. Sue Mary knew she
. ihould go to bed, itop reliving
' the Urns that had passed so swift
ly, and yet she hesitated; going
over those hours after she had
left the art exhibit for Natalie's
studio party.
She seemed accepted complete
ly. No one made her feel a stran
ger. No one seemed to think It
odd that she merely sat and
listened: listened and stared at
the crowded room that Natalie
called her studio. Walla covered
with pictures: ollir watercolors,
lithographs; easebi and canvas
(tacked In corners; brushes In tall:
jars; books stacked under tables,;
and records and magazines spill
ing from a . cabinet, beside the
low couch that served as a bed!'
f It was all confused, rather fas-
s einating and yet annoying to onei
who, like Sue Mary, had a paa-j
sion for cleanliness and order.'
Even while her eyes widened In
wonder and she burst Into laugh
ter at the light of the red and:
green tin tub in the old-fashioned:
bathroom, she had an almost over-',
powering desire to pick up a bar
of soap and scour the grimy gray
ring away from the aide.
Careless, casual, a take-what-life-glves
attitude. And the peo
ple fitted the picture so com
pletely. They were nearly all young::
many with the colorful personali
ties that went with their foreign-j
sounding names. And yet there'
had been some who reminded Sue
Mary, of, the. boys and girls with!
Whom she had gone to school.
Only they all talked as though
driven by an urge to remake the
world. " Right now they were con
sidering a mass meeting to be
staged by the Youth Progress
group.
"We mean to have our own aen.
dldates at this election," Vera
turned to Sue Mary when the
ethers were arguing loudly.
"We're -the new generation, and
pre mean to have a voice In the
guveiiuuciib. Ana wuriung ciasa
must be represented. The labor
ing man and woman must show
strength "
a
iCHE could feel herself flush with
the knowledge of her own
(stupidity. If only (he could say
something and not sit silently by
I while -the others tossed ideas
about with the ease of thinkers.
. "'But but workers are repre
sented," she said finally. There
are unions.
"But In how many unions does
the worker really have a voice?"
Vera demanded with her brown
eyes flashing and her red mouth
itwisting Into smile. "We need
people in city and federal offices
Iwho are free;, not owned by
money interests.
"In Russia; for - instance, the
people run the country. You don't
have any big-moneyed groups die
Itating how the laws shall be in
terpreted."
; "Russia" Sue Mary echoed
iieeDJy. "But Russia that place,"

-she could find them Vera had

tures, and politics and labor. Why,
they read all the way through
their newspapers. Not Just the
big story on the front page, and
the comics and society sheets. And
they read papers I never heard
of. Papers about working people,
and social problems, and stuff."
Yes, it had been a bit difficult
to put in words the feelings she
had experienced, Joe had looked
a bit dazed and then troubled,
and that hadn't helped her.
He shook his head. "Crack
pots,", he had muttered. "There
were some like that in college.
Always waving a flag for some
cause or other. Campus trouble
makers who wore dirty shirts and
yelled a lot, but never really
worked. I don't like 'em.
"Anyway, I don't tee why you
want to bother your head about
such stuff. You've got a good Job,
and you've well, you've got me.
We have fun, don't we?"
'THEY might have quarreled, be
1 cause his attitude made Sue
Mary feel that he didnt think her
capable of serious thinking. Yet
his obvious desire to do things for
her brought a warmth Into her
: heart His bigness, and his help
lessness when he tried to put his
'. emotion Into words always did
that to her.
1 And when, before going to the
i Italian restaurant for the spa
'. ghettl special, he shoved her Into
a florist's shop and bought a gar
denia to pin on her soft fur collar,
i she had to swallow hard to keep
from choking on the words of
' thanks.
In the darkened movie, with
Joe'a big. hard shoulder against
hers, and his hand closed over
her own, life seemed very com
plete. Perhapa, in not too long a
time, they could get married.
Maybe that was all that mat
tered, anyway, A home with
someone you loved. Security and
happiness together.
Crusades and political cam
paigns, art exhibits and the studio
crowd were far removed then.
They belonged to a strange world
whose fringes she had merely
brushed.

bering that was the dark spot
. in the evening. She opened the
window and climbed Into bed.
Tomorrow she must go to work.

and start back on the familiar,

with young people; with those
who had the crusader's drive and
fire. . '
It was fun Just to be with peo
ple who talked, and laughed, and
sang. Fun to be with someone
like Nick, who was sardonic, glum,
hilarious, tender, and dominating
, all in a few short hours.
There was something different
about Nick. Sometimes he was
Just a boy, hrving a good time.
Then in a flash, he became the
ardent politician, championing his
cause. He was a crusader, then,
preaching a new doctrine.
He could be angry, lash out at
those who disaereed with hit:
views In the next moment, he
would bo back beside Sue Mary,
his temper cooled instantly, laugh
ing with her, promising more gay
hours together.
' And- -she knew, he liked her.
She didn't think he was impatient
with her. .because she found all
this new and strange like a for
eign-language. , -

had a date" with Joe, she found
it difficult to explain that day.
"It was the first free one I've

Not Just the dull kind that spend
the evening at someone's house
