JAN FALLS IN LOVE CHAPTER III CHRISTIE had hoped she could win Bart over about the flying. But though Bart had listened pa tiently to her arguments, there had never been a moment when he was near to yielding. "I know you're good, Christie. I saw you make that three-point landing In a stiflUh wind. But maybe your luck wouldn't hold out. You might not know what to do in - an emergency. I'd be no good at all, Christie, if I were worrying about you. I've got to have that promise, darling." She couldn't be angry with Bart. Besides, she wasn't doing all the sacrificing. Bart was putting a brilliant future behind him for the time being. He wasn't asking her to give up something that would ever mean anything to the world. She was just an ordinary flyer who had soloed for the first time today. "All right, Bart," Christie said. "I'll stay out of the air. But when you're training, will you remem ber that I have some anxious mo ments, too?" "I'll have a steady hand and head, now," Bart said. "You can count on it." He kissed her long and earnestly. When the door had closed be hind Bart, Christie went to her father's study. He was silting be hind his desk, which, in these days of the war emergency, was deep in papers. "More home work," Christie scolded. "I won't have it! So this is why you skipped the dance." "Your mother still refuses to believe the headlines," Christo pher Colton said. "But I know what they're saying." "You think the United States will get in? Bart does, too. He's going to an air field. But that's not really what I came to tell you. Some day, I'm going to have a sunny kitchen with little blue pots filled with yellow flowers on the window sill . . . and a perfectly immaculate ice box and blue linoleum printed in neat little squares." She stooped over and kissed him. "You don't mind if I marry Bart some day, do you? I would, anyway, so you might as well be nice and agreeable about it" "1 think it's a great idea. Only I'm a little confused by all the housewifely details. I thought you'd be asking for a blue plane as a wedding gift." "You can scratch that blue plane off your shopping list I promised Bart to give up flying." "So the first thing Bart does is to pin your wings back." Her father was frowning slightly. "It wasn't such a brilliant idea," Christie said lightly. "I think I'll run up and see Mother." TVTRS. COLTON was sitting be- . fore her dressing table, her eyes looking through a mask of cold cream. "Sometimes, I almost wish you had a face like a horse, then you wouldn't spend so much time on it," Christie said from the door way. "It's just that I came to tell you I'm going to make you a mother-in-law, some day, and I wanted to see how you would take it." "Well, I naturally thought you would," Mrs. Colton was carefully removing the cream. "I couldn't possibly give my consent until Bart has established himself " "I could compete with a good, first-class row," Christie said, turning to go. "But cold logic and cold cream are too much for me." She opened her slim hand, blew a kiss across her palm. "Night I really like you beautiful." She crossed the hall and opened a door. Dad, disapproving because he thought Bart had been unfair about those flying lessons; Mother not even interested because her marriage was too far off for trous seau buying Well, at least she could count on Jan and understanding. Only, it would be hard to tell Jan, in a way, because shy, sweet Jan didn't have anybody in love with her. "You're awake, Jan?" "Yes. What hours you do keep, Christie. I've been in ages." Christie sat down on the bed and surveyed her twin, taking in the brown-gold hair which tum bled around her face, the smoky, gray-blue eyes, so much like her own. "Sccretl" Christie spoke softly, preparing to launch her big sur prise. Then, she saw that Jan was blushing. "Christie, I never knew anyone i like you. Can you read my mind?" I Jan was looking off into space I with a queer, half-smile on her face, as though her thoughts were traveling along a little mental road that was closed to outsiders. "Heavens!" Christie thought, "the child's In love or thinks she ts." This was no time to tell her own exciting news. " "HRlSTiE' Janet began, "you know that party that Mother has been bogging me to have." "The party you didn't wantthat would bore you to tears " "The same one," Janet smiled. "I'll go through it on one condi tion. There's a man I met him today. I'll face all those dreadful old people who look me up and down, and a stagline that doesn't see me at all if I may invite him to the dance." "He must be the World's won der." Chrlstl breathed. "Ho. isn't rich and important," Jan said, musingly. "Hut you'll like him. He's a chemist and he has a new job at the Wiiinwrislit Company. The way we met was funny. He simply walked up to mo and said, 'You look ns though fou are having a rather slow time," and I said, 'I am, but nobody ex cept you has been rude enough to mention it.' " "Jan! How did you ever get past that brilliant beginning?" "He thought it was funny. He said what he had sid called for a long apology and it would take him all through the supper hour to say it Oh, Christie, I had a lovely time." Christie felt her throat tighten. It took such a little to make Jan happy. Just a bit of uUcnlion. "Mother will bargain with you," Christie said. She added, slowly: "This man you met he sounds fair. Maybe a little too sure of himself." "He is pretty confident," Jan agreed. "From now on out, I'll be bothered about having enough stags. I'd like scads but Mother says the draft has simply ruined cveryk3y's dance list." "Now isn't that just too mean of Uncle Sam," Christie said. "It's just that I don't want to get stuck with Stephen," Janet said, smiling at Christie's elab orate irony. Stephen. Well, Jan did move fast when she got going. Christie was thoughtful as she peeled off her dress. This was more interest than her sister had ever shown. She tried to visualize the type of young man that Janet would pick for a party. A chemist, she had said. , "He'd sound more exciting if he were a combat pilot," Christie thought sleepily, thinking of Bart and planes.
