: VACATION PLANS
CHAPTER III
atrpHAT you, Enid?" Mom called
sharply from upstairs as
im Enid closed the front door behind
!ier. Mom never went to sleep
4. until Enid was in for the night.
"Yes, Mom."
Mom's voice went on with Its
usual complaint. "It's about time.
Tom Driscoll's no business keep-
r big you out until this time of
S. night, and every night What do
7u suppose the ucighbors think?'
Sara Sharon had had three
, daughters. Letty was married,
Katie had died as a child, and
Enid well, no one was going to
say that one of her daughters
wasn't a good girl. And she didn't
trust Tom Driscoll any farther
than she could see him.
Enid's face twisted a little as
she climbed the stairs. In a way
... Mom would be glad it she did
marry Tom. Then she wouldn't
" have to worry any more about
ijVr virtue. And yet she wouldn't
Aike it altogether either. For Enid
was the meal ticket, now that Fop
couldn't Work any more.
Mom spoke again as Enid
reached the upper ball. "Come
in here, honey. I've got some
thing to tell you." There was an
excited tremor in her voice.
"What ?" Enid began.
But Mom didn't give her time
to finish. "We got a letter from
C Aunt Faye today." Aunt Faye;
t was oiom s sister, tne one woo
bad married money. "She says
. she hasn't been able to rent one
of ber cottages this summer, and
we. can have it for a month, free."
.Enid sat down on the side of'
!- the bed-beside her. .mother.- Fop I
, rolled over on his side facing her,
, his faded Blue' eyes sparkling with
i excitement.. They were both as
" pleased as. children at Christmas
. tone.
. i "That's grand, Mom." Enid
" caught their enthusiasm. "You 11;
ban to rent a row boat, you and'
f ' Pop,- and- you can fish to your
i heart's content"
a . . "I was just wondering," Mom
paused thoughtfully. "You've got
m whole month vacation coining,
.Enid. You know you "skipped
yours, lart year when all those
. .girls at the office were sick with
I ; summer flu. Maybe you could get
K now, and-i-" - -
- Enid leaned down and kissed
ijier mother's flabby cheek. "Now,
g don't start worrying about me,
;Mom. I'll be all right here. . You
. two go up to the lake and enjoy
? (yourselves. I doubt if I could get
I my vacation on such short notice."
5 1 But she wai glad that Mom and
Pop had the chance to go and said
'. iao again.- .-They would enjoy it
r. ' I "Don't .fuss around making a lot
of preparations," she urged. "Go
y .this - week-end. Phil will drive
. . lyou up if you ask him."
aaa
15 J A LONE in her own room, she
?' i,. remembered that she hadn't
1 said anything to Mom and Pop
about her brand-new engagement
I And she began to wonder again
(why she had lied to Tom. He'd
I find out that she wasn't going
away she'd have to teli him. . It
bad been such a senseless thing
to do,
It would be nice, though, if she
could go away for a month or six
weeks and do just as she liked
have a sort of fling at life before
she settled down forever as Mrs.
Thomas Driscoll.
. She sat down on the edge of
her bed day-dreaming about it
What would she do if she could
do just as she liked for a month?
Live in a hotel or a nice apart
ment! - Meet interesting people
the kind of people she d always
wanted to know! Pretend that
she really was what she longed
to be, an artist! Wear beautiful
I clothes!
( The idea was so breath-taking
that she blinked stupidly. Just
jthe thought of it made her dizzy,
i . She got up after a moment and
I picked up her purse and pulled
out a thin bank book. Three hun
dred and fifty dollars was the last
balance, entered in neat black
figures. She had saved it pain
fully during the six years she
had been working. Saved it by
stinting her lunches, and buying
plain serviceable-clothes- Instead
of the ones she really wanted,
and by doing her . own hair and
nails.
- More than once Enid had felt
frightfully guilty hearing her
mother put off a bill collector with
her pathetic but honest hard luck
story.
' At first she had treasured her
savings, thinking that she'd use
the money to go to a good art
school sometime. And lately she'd
thought that If she and Tom got
married It would buy her wed
ding clothes and be a down pay
ment on some furniture.
But the rebellious impulse that
had seized her in art class was
still smoldering within her. It
wasn't right that one shoi'M never
have anything that one really
wanted. Why should she put her
savings Into their marriage? Tom
didn't have any. Tom was just
putting himself in. He probably
'thought that that was boon
'enough for any girl.
Enid's little white face suddenly
became set, and a new light blazed
in ' her usually timid eyes. For
once she was going to do some
thing she wanted to do, regard
less of consequences!
She had another inspiration,
one that salved her conscience.
She'd take $50 of her savings and
ksend Letty and the children up
to the lake with Pop and Mom.
aaa
CHE bought a paper next day
at lunch time and scanned the
Apartments for Rent column
while she ate. A nice apartment
she had decided, would be cheaper
than a hotel. She could do her
own cooking and save on the food
item. That would leave her more
money for clothes and incidentals.
An address halfway down the
list caught her attention. Worth
ing Arms, Arlington. That cer
tainly sounded swanky. She read
on: "4-rm. apt Frigidalre. Jani
tor service. Completely fur
nished." She tore it out and put j
it in i.fcf uutxe.
But by evening her resolution
had weakened. It was with a
great deal of trepidation that she
took the Arlington bus, instead of
the one she usually rode.
She was sure that she'd never I
haw the nerve to go through with I
her crazy plan. It was too Insane.
Why, that preciously saved $350
wmiid almost runush a small
apartment complete. She was too
sensible to squander it But she'd
look at the apartment In Arling- I
ton anyway. It would be nice to
see inside a really nice one, and i
she might get some ideas for fur
nishing her own later.
The Worthing Arms proved to
be a rambling, winged, brick
building set back of a wide, beau
tifully shrubbed lawn. Enid
sighed contentedly as she walked j
up the curved walk to tne heavy
oak door of what seemed to be
the main entrance and, pulling it
open, stepped a little out of
breath, into n dim hall. Tnree
shallow steps led upward to the
level of a long carpeted corridor.
A placard stuck up on the lawn
had said to inquire at Apt No. 3. i
She found that number over a i
door at the rear of the hall and
pressed the button with her finger.
She heard footsteps inside the
apartment and a moment later
the door opened. A blond young
man in a blue silR dressing rone.
