In answer to innumerable re- quests from high school students the State Department last year published Cherry's prophecy came true. She did cast a pebble into the beautiful tranquillity of the Hathaway break- fast table. Bob, feeling the sanctity of his home threatened by the pres- ence—possibly for a long time—of this most disturbing element, scowled at his sister-in-law in answer to her gay greeting. “Poor Bob!" Cherry crooned, with mock sympathy, as she bent over her sister’s husband and rumpled his chestnut hair. “How he does loathe his adoring little sister. And she's so | crazy about him, too. Will you strike me if I kiss you darling?” she teased, as she made good her threat. “You need a beating, all right,” Bob growled, slightly mollified in spite of himself and ashamed of his capitula- tion to Cherry's charm. “I suppose you'd die of boredom if you weren't kicking up some fuss or other all the time. When are you going to grow ‘up, settle down and behave yourself?” “Never!” Cherry retorted gaily. When a plump juicy pear—the ‘others had prunes—had been placed before Cherry and Beulah had re- tired, with pleased grins for Cherry's extravagant thanks, Bob brutally asked, in spite of Faith’s pleading eyes: “When are you going home, Cherry?” “Darling, your hospitality touches me deeply,” Cherry laughed. “Thanks ‘with all my heart for your tactful in- yitation to make this my home as Jong as my broken heart requires sanctuary. Got that out of a book. Isn't it swell? ... By the way, Crystal is looking at me like a big-eyed little girl, who wonders what the bad, bad, Tady is talking about.

You have no right to endanger a realiy happy marriage by behaving like a spoiled child.” Cherry's topa es flamed with sudden anger. you both want to know when I'm going home, do you? Well, I'll tell you I'm going home when Nils Jonson comes for me, and not one minute before. I'm not going to be any man’s doormat, and that’s —final!” darkly with nd Nils Jonson isn't going to make himself a doormat for any woman, Cherry. You've got sense enough to know that, even if you do act like a fool? My advice to you is to go home today, while the goin's good. Otherwise you may ‘not find any ‘Welcome’ n on the doormat— if that’s what you think Nils Jonson “You're just trying to frighten me!” Cherry shrilled, shaking her fruit knife in her brother-in-law’s face. “Faith's been spilling everything 1 told her! She's told you I'm scared. +. . Well, I am, if it does you any good to know, Bob Hathaway! I’m seared, but I've still got some pride left, and I'm not going to crawl home and beg Nils to take me back!” When Cherry had fled the room in a storm of tears, Crystal sat very still, slowly concocting a scheme which would break the deadlock, NEXT: Crystal schemes to save a marriage.
