She was love and it! was entirely diferent from what she had expected it to be. Far from giggles, rapture and excitement, it was a serious business; it made her leel grown up and responsible. She could never love any oae else than Dick; it was all settled. Every- thing she thought now had to have him in it; the future had narrowed itself down to just Dick. He had no money—it did not matter. Galil, who had always felt that Clippers- ville limited and bound her, knew her- self quite willing—ah, breathlessly will- ing—to live contentedly in Clippers- ville forever, if Dick so decreed. What Ariel or Edith would think of this sud- den altering of all her dreams was nothing; there was nothing anywhere, there was nobody anywhere, except Dick! And meanwhile Van had established & more comfortable footing in the old Lawrence house than ever before, and while he and Ariel did not seem to be exactly having an affair; there was a far more substantial base to their rela- tionship than his friendship with Gail had ever known. Very quietly, in an almost bored tone, Ariel told her sisters in early November that Van was going East to get to work. “No more college?” “No; he wants to get into the busi- ness. His father says he’ll start him in the New Jersey plant.” “Then he won't come back to Clip- persville?” “Yes. He's going to be beck for a week in January.” “He’s coming back after her!” Edith said when she and Gail were alone, | “Oh. Ede. it does look like it!" Gall's imagination was off at full | speed again; Ariel married at 18 to young Van Murchison; Edith and Phil and Sam living on here at the old house; herself and Dick—— But this last snatched at her breath. Herself and Dick. People in the library would glance at her: “She's engaged; she’s going to marry that young lawyer, Richard Stebbins.” Dick would have cases and she would study every detall of every case and keep up with him, And she would have babies. Happiness, happiness, happiness—to be married to him, to have Dick all to herself! The miracle of marriage, the amazing flaming glory of it, surrounded her with a cloud of mist by day and of fire by night. It began to seem as if things were happening in Clippersville after all. The sluggish current of Gail's life was stirred in many ways. It was not only that Phil got a raise and that Van Murchison might marry Ariel. Sam was working for a scholarship and might actually win a year at Columbia University. Gail as assistant li- brarian now, with the name “Abigail Lawrence” printed in gold on the | library windows and a salary of $55 a | month. | | And then Christmas was coming. Always exciting, it seemed doubly so this year. Gail fairly danced to work in the mornings and Edith would come home in the darkness of 5 o'clock to hear Gail singing in the kitchen. | Dick was boarding with them now, | for his mother had gone to Oregon to stay with a daughter newly widowed. There was one cloud in the sky this | Winter to be sure. Gail and Edith | acknowledged its existence bravely one | December evening when they asked Dick if he thought Phil really cared | for Lily Cass. “That's a hard question to answer,” Dick sald with a faint frown. “Is she divorced, Dick?” “No. But there’s talk of it. She hasn’t seen Joe for two years.” “And if she were, do you believe Phil really would marry her?” Another pause. Then Dick asked slowly, “Would you girls care?” “You've answered!” Gall said with a brief, mirthless laugh. Dick sighed “I suppose I have.” again, ‘“There—there never was any- thing wrong with Lily ——" he offered doubtfully. “No!” Gall agreed forcefully. “Except that she was as common as fruit flies, and ran with that terrible box-factory gang and chewed gum in church, and talked way up in G major— This rather finished Lily's case for the moment. But a little later Gail said apologetically, “I don’t know why I got so wild about poor Lily. She certainly is having a rather tough time of it." “I'll tell you!” Dick sald eagerly. “Phil's the qulet sort. He loves Clip- persville; he wouldn’t change places with the President. He's more in. terested in the new bridge than in international events; he thinks the Calle is the most important business street in California. Phil wants to stay here and develop the place, and he loves Lily—or if he loves her"—Dick floundered, turning red and correcting himselt hastily. “We know he loves her; you needn't be so scrupulous!” Gail sald with a dry little laugh. “I belleve you'd stand up for Phil if he went out some night and cut somebody’s throat.” But she loved Dick for his loyalty, none the less. Gail spent the day before Christmas in the library. She walked up to Muller's at 5 o'clock not only 1o wait for Edith but to help her effect- ually while she was waiting. Edith was in an exhausted whirl of last Christmas sales; Ariel also was there as one of her Christmas assistants, at_two dollars a day. Lights were blazing in Muller's, aisles were packed with a slowly mov- ing river of women who turned out of the current to stop at the jewelry counter, the leather goods, the laces. Ariel shuffied book jackets underfoot she rushed to and fro; her cheeks were blazing, her eyes wild. At 6 the staff at Muller's began to drape lengths of white cotton over the tables and counters; rain was twinkling and sparkling in the black night as the Lawrences came wearily, excitedly, out and started for home. Ariel was very silent. But Gall and Edith were gay. Christ- mas eve at library and shop was over, and nothing but fun and holiday ahead. ‘Their words tumbled over each other; their thoughts were busy with addi- tional surprises and plans. Edith thought of the tissue paper and ribbons in her lower bureau drawer. She would begin wrapping and mark- ing packages right after dinner; she had completely ruined herself on pres- t surp ly Phone now for open dates. UPPER PAVILION PHONE DECATUR (636 C. JUNE 28, its, joy in her plight. Gail thought of presents, too. She wondered if Dick would give her a present—of course, he would! She —ould not care what it was, it would be the most valued thing she received. Dick needed socks and ties and belts and gloves—if he went to Los Angeles next week me would need gloves—but she had dared give him none of these. Books. She had two books for him. In one, with a fast-beating heart. she wrote: “Dick, with love from A. L." “Perhaps we’ll be married by next Christmas!” thought Gall, running, rac- ing, hurrying home in the black rainy darkness of Christmas Eve. It seemed to her the mcst wonderful Christmas they had ever had. From the hour on Christmas eve when she, Ariel and Edith got home wet, cold and tired, to the warm kitchen and to planning and laughter and tea, toast and jam, and wrapping gifts, and sur- prises, until the 2 o'clock dinner on Christmas Day was safely served there was not a flaw. ‘They got all their presents ready and then walked under warm, shining stars to church at midnight. Then every one stumbled back utterly exhausted, to go to bed heavily and blindly, fingers sore from strings and tinsel, backs and feet | aching, hands scented with pine resin, hearts filled with happiness. And then it was Christmas morning and every one was thanking every one else, and Gail was honestly amazed at all the things they got—and such beau- tiful things. h member of the family, and this year Dick, too, had a table near the fireplace.

I'll be back early.” “Dick will be gone when you come back!"” “I know it. I said good-by to him.” Ariel looked very pretty in her dark blue coat and snug blue hat. She came in, kissed Gail, kissed Edith. “I don't want to go!” she sald with a weary sigh. “I hate to have you,” Gail sald af- y. fectionately. Edith asked when Ariel had “did she get anything from After a silence Gail roused herself, stiiy and drowsily. “I told Dick I'd start packing his bag for the trip,” she said with an exultant rise at her heart. “We'll miss him.” » “Oh, won't we!” Edith yawned agonizingly. Gail crossed the hall to Dick’s room to find him done with his packing and ready for good-bys. He looked almost hand- some as he pulled on the new gloves that Edith had not been too self-con- scious to give him, if Gail had. “You're worrying about this case!” Edith accused him. For he seemed unusually grave. ;;’No. Yes, I'm kind of worried,” Dick sald. “Ariel's gone to the Vails’ and Phil isn't back. Sam!” Gail called. *“Come out and say good-by to Dick.” “I'll only hbe gone two weeks,” Dick said, with a curiously abstracted, almost an anxious look. “I think we ought to kiss him good- by on Christmas night!” Edith said giddily in a rare mood of daring. For answer his arm went about her and he kissed her so heartily that she emerged breathless and protesting. Then it was Gail's turn.

FACTORY TEN POINTS OF SUPERIORITY YOU OUGHT T A comparison of the specifications of the De Soto Six against those of three prominent sixes with a list price below $700 reveals these concrete points of superiority for De Soto: DE SOTO SIX HAS: The largest engine ® The largest piston displacement ® The greatest maximum brake horsepower @ The largest number of main bearings ® The largest total main bear- ing area @ The best type of piston (aluminum alloy with steel struts) ® The best type of wheel bearings in the rear axle (double tapered roller bear- ings as against single roller or ball bearings @ The best type of brakes internal hydraulic against me- chanical) ® The strongest type of allsteel body @ The newest type of double-drop frame against the conventional straight type. O CONSIDER - These cold facts tell only part of the story. To appreciate what De Soto’s superior specifications mean in terms of performance and owner satisfaction, you have to drive the cars. There is something about the speed, hill-climbing ability and flexibility of De Soto’s 67-horsepower engine that cannot be even approached by any competitor. The slender-profile radiator, swanky lowness, long, sweeping lines and handsome color combinations of the De Soto Six make it by all comparisons the smart car of the low-price field. Let us give you a demonstration today. Learn for yourself what a lot of extra quality these few extra dollars will buy. And you will be equally impressed by how much more you get for your meney in a De Soto Six than in several sixes that are much higher in their price range.
