TWO LOVES NICK AND JOK
. CHAPTER XII
"yHAT one," Kitty aaid scorn
fully, as ahe was powdering
her noes before going liome late
that afternoon. Sha stared at Suo
Mary In the washroom mirror.
"Of course ahe had that order.
I sew you speak to her and I
aw her go in the old man's office
with those papers. And I can
guess just how surprised she was
to discover that they were hunt
ing for that one In particular,
and how Innocent she acted. I
bet they at her alibi up: about
her being new and strange here.
She's a cool number." Kitty
- ' 1 nulled hnr rlrflmlnui excuse of a
hat down over her black curls.
"She's smart, but I bet she doesn't
make the grade with young Hosa
Clark."
Sue Mary hid her smile. She
. was glad Kitty was too engrossed
with Vera and young Ross Clark
to think more about Vera and the
paper. That business had upset
her more than ahe had thought
Her head ached and the walk
home seemed twice as long.
She didn't want to go out that
evening, but Joe called. It had
been a week since they had had
date and ahe couldnt refuss
now.
Once, with him she found her
aelt twinging back again to th
other side. All the problems al
the office, all the enthusiasms ol
the YP group somehow seemed
trivial. Joe talked of vacation
plans, of the simpler things that
had once constituted her whole
iif .
With the war talk, world prob
lems, and politics on everyone'i
lips, Joe's plana for a camping
trip up north, his attempts tc
paint the Joys of fishing, and th
pressure of his hands on hen
when he spoke of the week's vaca
tion seemed to give the world t
different color.
"Sue Mary," he said, "some
. times don't you get tired of work
ing in that office, and playini
round with that crazy outfit?
. sometime don't you think you'd
oka to get married and have a
eome of your own?
"My work Is going along swell,
he went on earnestly. "Why don't
we pian on a wedding and be like
ether people. We're living alone
now and trying to pretend it's fun.
Well, I don't think It Is. I want
you and I hop you want me.
Although sometimes I I sort of
feel you find m pretty dull "
"Oh, no, Joe. It's not that I
are for you." Sue Mary pulled
sis arm tighter about her. "I feel
to safe, and aura of things when
I'm with you, but then there's a
ahole week with time on my
tanas ana wnat Happens? I see '
ather people and my own life I
seems drab. I want something to
happen to me. I don't ust want
to work at the office, com home
ana ait and read all evening.
"I don't think you're dull. After
Pm with you I wonder about the
then, because what you say Is
' sane, so true. And I think I
1 im in love with you but I'm not
sure I want to get married yet,
oe."
"And you'll never be sure as
long as you play around with
Uios Reds." he said blttrrlv
"Something will have to wake
rou up to the fact that they'n
au pnonies. But I don't know
what it will be. You see, Su
Mary, I think you are huntins
for adventure. . . . And I thins
rou believe you're half In lovt
with thlt Nick." i
...-. e
TJE was going away for a week
so she wouldn't let anythini
precipitate a quarrel. But hil
words echoed to her mind. Hunt
ing adventure, believ you an
half in love with Nick.
She supposed that was the waj
It would look, and yet, she tok
herself, this is more than adven
ture: working at aomething thai
Is worth while, helping people mj
own age wno nave Drains ane
charm, in a cause they are con
vinced is right.
And as for Nlch But that al
ways left her confused. She trie
to believe his attentions were thi
same with the others, but flu
couldn't ignore the look in hii
eyes, the sound of his voice sayinj
her name, the way he managed
to take her home after the meet
ings. The next day Sue Mary wenl
to Natalie's after work. It wai
hot in the studio bedroom and th
girls tied back the faded window
.drapes to catch the slightest pos
sible breath of air.
"I'd like to get out of here,'
Natalie said In her low, huskj
voice. She was in her white slit
with her thick, tnfTy-colored hair
pinned In a knot high on her haid.
She wiped beads of water from
the pitcher and poured Sue Mary
a glass of lemonade.
"I know where there's a grand
apartment," she said, slouching
in the chair near the window.
"Big rooms and real windows
not slits like these, and a view.
But I can't afford tt alone.
"Sue Mary, why don't you mov
In with me? Heaven knows we'll
b working together enough these
1
next few months, with the elec
tion coming along and the VP
campaign in full swing. I think
it would be a grand idea."
CUE MARY tried to think. She
supposed Natalie was right
Her own drab room was simply
a place to escape from whcia one
wasn't sleeping.
Yet living with Natalie would
be a strange experience. She
looked around the room, at the
pictures overflowing on the floor,
books streaming from the table,
clothes shoved in the closet and
tho door that never shut; the tiny
kitchenet with dirty dishes ever
present on the sink.
Natalie laughed. "Yes, I know
what you're thinking. You're so
precise, so tidy, that this must
bring horror to your neat little
soul. Veil, you can straighten up
to your heart's content.
"Why not try it anyway? I
mean sharing an apartment. You
won't hurt my feelings if you
move when you cant take it any
longer."
And so it was arrenccd. They
all had a hand in it: Vera pack
ing pictures, records, papers,
books, and Nick making endless
trips between Natalie's old room,
Sue Mary's, and the new apart
ment And before she knew how
it had been accomplished, they
were settled.
She got a thrill out of being
able to move about in a room
that was more than a cupboard.
The twin beds in the bedroom
didn't even crowd the space, and
the big shiny bath with the deep
tub, the shower with its runny
curtain decorated with fantastle
fishes, tli tiny kitchenet with
its compact drawers, refrigerator
and stove all enchanted her so
that she was content just to atand
and star about her.
"We'll probably never get her
out," Natalie told Vera. "She goes
around with a dustcloth all eve
ning shining things, and picking
up after' me. My clothes hive
never been hung up before and
now I can't find anything. Sue
Mary has them where they be
long." (T Be Continued)
