FACIA GOC9 TO A FAETT
CHAPTER Vm
TJACK at tha housa Piula tried
In rain to study. Her mind
was whirling. Sha thought, "If I
could only talk thing over with
someone. With Tony ..."
She told heroelf the mustn't pile
her troubles on Tony, but It was
no use. She felt she had to see
blm. She went downstairs and
called his house.
Characteristically he asked no
questions; he said simply, "I'll be
rif ht over, Paulie."
The porch was deserted when
Tony arrived. Paula brought out
cusnjons aim mcy sal on uia sirps.
An immense solitude seemed to !
hold the campus, and Paula and
Tony, too. They shared it, reluc- j
tant to break the silence, Paula i
sharply aware of the difference
between silence with Tony and
silence with Chris.
It was Paula who finally spoke:
"Kilo Sherwood paid me a visit
tonight."
A match flared briefly as Tony
lighted his pipe. She saw in that
moment the seriousness of his lean
face.
"Nothing melodramatic I hope."
"A little." Paula said with a
forced laugh. "Either I send Chris
back to the League, meaning her
self, or she'll use some hold she
has on him."
"Dont be too sure she wont,"
Tony advised. "She's a clever gal.
She's used to' getting what she
wants."- - -
"That's why I called you, Tony.
What shall I do?"
"About all you can do. Paulie,
Is keep a tight rein on Chris."
"It seems so silly to be fussing
ttus way over a grown man," i
Paula said, and was instantly
ashamed.
Tony shrugged. "Thaf s Chris,"
he said laconically.
Tony, if I could go to your
party without making him mad"
"Sure, I know," Tony said.
"Maybe it's better anyway. The
League may try some stunt to
break up the party."
Tony pulled a crumpled sheet
of note paper from his pocket. He
lit a match while Paula read:
"Call off your party if you don't
want trouble."
"But why do you think Chris
had anything to do with this?"
Paula asked.
"Hunch, maybe; I dunno. . . .
.But if yon hold Chris to his date
for that night everythingll be
okay, I guess."
rTJont worry, I will," Paula
aid. "But I really think Chris
is through with the League. I'm
ore he wouldn't lie to me."
Tony arose reluctantly. "Well,
It guess we've swapped worries
Dong enough, Paulie. I'd better get
along."
She held out her hand. "Good
night, Tony. Thanks a million
times for coming. Sorr I was a
baby."
"You're thanking me!" He sand
wiched her slim hand between his
two big ones. "Why have you
teen avoiding me lately?"
"Why, Tony, I . . ." But Paula
couldn't lie to him. "I I thought
St was best Please don't ask me
why."
"Dont do it, Paulie avoid me,
T mean. I think I know what
you're worried about. Will you
let me handle that? When you
.get in a jam I always want to
be the flrst to know it"
T ATE the following afternoon
Paula sat in the Sweetland
ftavin a enlr vth r-,-;. r 1
exams were underway and she
attributed his quietness to hard
work. She chattered lightly, tell
ing him about Tony's invitation
to the party.
Chris said with a suddenness
'that numbed her: "Why don't you
go? You're strong for this Creek
letter stuff."
Paula heard her own voice,
choked and indistinct, saying,
'"Why, Chris, don't you remember?
You said we'd celebrate the night
after finals . . . Just the two of
us."
"I know," Chris replied, "but
lit wasn't really a date. I'm going
to be pretty tired and . . ."
"Does that mean . . . Look,
Chris, am I being stood up?"
He peered into his coke as if
lie expected to read the future
in it
"Paulie," he said grimly, "there's
something I've got to do that
might It it's pretty darn impor
tant." "Chris," Paula forced him to
fleet her gaze, "are you going
'back on your promise to me?
.About the League, I mean? Be
cause if you are . . ."
He twisted away from the ques
tion. "For Pete's sake, Paulie,
top giving me the third degree!"
snapped. "This is something
you don't understand."
"Okay, Chris, I dont" She
jejossed over her hurt with hard,
brittle words. "From now on I
wont bother you!"
1 Paula ran blindly out of the
Bweetland before Chris could see
I the ruth of hot tears to her eyes.
I Back at the Gamma Tau hous
sue went to the telephone and
called Tony,
"I've changed my mind, Tony,"
ah told him. "I'm going to the
party with you."
'
IT ATE Thursday afternoon Paula
took her last examination.
tShe went straight to bed and slept
! until morning. When ah awalc
ined she wa aware of a new at
mosphere pervading the campus.
.Ordinarily Paula would have
eizd these gay, relaxed hours
MAKE READY
to go on a lark with Chris and
Tony, but the last few weeks had
changed everything. Glumly the
settled down in her room with a
book.
After supper a scramble began
among the Gamma Taus to get
ready for their respective parties.
Slim, bright-cheeked girls dashed
wildly about raiding their sisters'
rooms for bits of jewelry, wailed
over snagged hose and fought with
stubborn curls.
Even Paula's ' low spirits took
a jump as she slid into her new
formal. Its sea-green chiffon cas
caded down from her slim waist
and foamed about her ankles. The
tight-fitting bodice, with its heart
shaped neckline, molded her firm
figure into lovely lines.
Looking at her radiant young
aelf in the mirror, Paula said de
terminedly, "I will have a good
time. I'll go and dance and for
get Chris and the League, This
is my night to howl!"
'PONY'S fraternity had spared no
expense to make the party a
success. A band from the city
dispensed music both sweet and
hot A huge buffet supper was
spread in the dining room. French
doors onto the veranda had been
thrown open to permit dancing
outside, but around 10 o'clock a
shower drove the guests back into
the big living room.
Tony, handsome in a white mess
jacket gave Paula his complete
attention. When he held her tight
she forgot that his dancing was
short of perfection. She closed her
eyes and abandoned herself to the
gay mood of the party. A mood
compounded of spring, soft music,
perfume and the carefree spirit
that follows a winter's hard work.
She was dancing with Tony
when something sailed through
