SERIAL STORY WHEN A GIRL MARRIES BY RENE RYERSON MART kOTc. FAMII,Y PICNIO CHAPTER DC CHE was cheat and a fraud, 13 Enid thought miserably as sha tvlped her tears away In the lone liness of her bedroom. What was worse, Dr. Holllday Hank must now think her a tool as well. 6tarting to cry In that ridiculous way because he asked her to call him by his first name. She was engaged to Tom. He was true to her, and he trusted her. She was sure that he had never dreamed of her deceiving him. She didn't think that Tom had seen her dancing with Dr. XXuilnti.v but the thougnt of what he would have felt and thought if he had, set her face afire. On top of that, Hank Holllday had put that unexpected query of his about a husband, and In a way she had lied to him. True, she hadn't a husband, but she had a husband-to-be. And she knew in stinctively that an admission of that to Hank Holllday would as surely put the brakes on their growing friciidship as if she was married. Enid cried herself to sleep. TN tha morning she found the letter that Dr. Holllday had promised to write for her. He had left it in her mail box as they had arranged. It was addressed to Samuel Thornton, Advertising Manager, LOley's, and was un sealed. Curiosity prompted her to draw the letter out and read It And it was a good thing she did, for Hank had mischievously en closed a personal note to her. The note began without saluta tion: "Why did you run away last night? Because I told you my name was 'Hank'? I've always known that was pretty terrible, but it never affected anyone that way before. You can call me Henry, if you prefer." That note from Hank banished completely her hang-over of de spondency. What was done was done, she decided philosophically.: She was committed to a certain course, and she might as well sal vage, what benefit she could . . ., for an unhappy day of reckoning: was coming. She felt it In her: bones. The advert! stag offices of the Wiley store were familiar to Enid. She had visited them be fore In her quest for an advertis ing job. But this time as she waited in the outer office, she was conscious of a quickening hope. This time it might be different But it wasn't, after alL Sam Thornton read the letter from Dr. Holllday, looked at the sketches she had brought along to show him, and said he was veny, very sorry, but ha couldnt use her services for the present He was over-staffed as it was. Seeing the disappointment on her face, he suggested that she stop in to see him in two or three months, just before the Christmas shopping season. He might be able to use her then. .., . DOT Enid's disappointment over J not getting a job at Wiley's mas soon absorbed in a more im mediate Interest Passing through the art department of the big store rn her way down and out she re membered that she had promised io make some sketches of Dr. Holliday's son. I Accordingly she stopped and purchased a box of pastel crayons' land an added supply of drawing eper. Then she hurried to catch; i bus. It was nearly 12 and she didn't want to meet any of the girls from the office shopping (around on their noon hour. She spent the afternoon experi menting with the crayons, but her attention was prone to wander. Bhe'd find herself .thinking of ifank." Far from disliking Dr. (Holliday's nickname she adored it Somehow It suited him. He could be crisp and professional she. knew, but there was yet a streak Of prankish fun in him that the dignity of his career hadn't yet: smothered. And she had been, fortunate enough to see that side of him. She knew she was thinking too tnuch about him. Their friend ship was to him probably a most casual incident A girl living lone whom chance had thrown: m his way, and because she was . Bear at hand, convenient to spend .an idle evening with. Nothing more. Why he probably knew dozens of attractive marriageable girls. It was "Sonny" who came to her door Sunday morning to re mind her that she had an engage ment with him and his father. He was a pretty child with enchant ing manners. Enid told him thati the was ready any time. Sonnyi confided in his halting English: that "Daddy" was fixing sand wiches to take along. Enid thought rapidly. Then she: took the child's hand and went down the hall to his father's apartment The door, was half-, bpen as Sonny had left it "Any body home?" she called. Hank Holllday appeared from hie direction of the kitchen. He had a carving knife in one hand pnd a big checkered apron tied (over his dressing gown. I The tips of Enid's lips turned up In on irrepressible smile at the Incongruous picture he made. "Sonny says you're taking sand Iwlches," she explained. "I thought r that is I have a lot of stuff I could fix to take along If you want if o make it a picnic." "Now you're talking," he ap proved. "Sonny and I are always hungry." In the end their combined re sources produced two baskets of Jood and a thermos jug of iced fruit juices. Enid hastily changed Unto the slack ensemble she had worn the previous Sunday, and Hank Holliday carried the provi sions out and stowed them in the rear of his car. . JJJHEY went up along the river. The landscaped parkway be tween the boulevard and the river had been converted into a public picnic ground, and they finally located a picturesque spot that was unoccupied. Hank had brought along some toys to amuse the child, and he and Sonny tossed a ball while Enid spread a white lunrh cloth on the grass and laid out stacks of sandwiches, cheese, pickles, a dtfh of fruit salad topped with whipped cream that she had hastily concocted, cookies, and generous cups of the sparkling fruit drink. They sat eross-lcgRed on the pniird. Senrr was tlifi dial lo see the stray dog that stole up sniffing hungrily at the smell of food. Ho let out a blood-curdling scream. Hank picked up a stone to drive the dog away, and Enid drew the (frightened child into the protect ing circle of her arms. "Wait a minute," she said to Hank. She held out a half-eaten sand wich to the dog. "Poor doggie. Hp's hUBSiy, Let1 ftti him." ha said coaxingly. Sonny trembled against her, but he grew silent with curiosity as he watched the dog eat and then gratefully lick her hand. Enid fed the dog another sandwich and then another, and when he was quite satisfied she patted him fondly on the back. "See. he won't hurt you." Sonny grew so bold as to pnt out a chubby hand and furtively touch the shaggy hair. Hank Holliday was watching her with thoughtful eyes. "You have a way with children," he said gratefully. "I've a married sister with three of them," Enid told him lightly. "I spend a lot of time with them when I'm at home." For a mo ment full confession as to who she was and what she was trembled on her lips.
