TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1986. EVER MIND THE LADY ~ (NEVER MIND THE LADY - NEVER MIND THE LADY - NEVER MIND THE LADY NEVER MIND THE LADY EVER MIND THE LADY NEVER MAND THE LADY NEVER MIND THE LADY SYNOPSIS: Terry Willett has had to stop work on his Palva River project in the tropics because of the death of his father. Before he left for the States he met a girl who got into a scrape because of him, e tried to look her up in Washing- ton, was coolly received, and left in a pout. Now he has arranged to combine forces with Bucky Corri- gan on the Palva job, and is killing time in New York before leaving, He ts also thinking. a little against hig will. about the girl who froze him ont in Washington. She ts Al- laire West. - Chapter 26 PUFF AGAIN ILLETT went up to his room, opened the door, and stopped| ¥ on the threshold in astonishment. A girl was sitting in the chair. It was Puff Harrington. Willett was speechless for a moment, then he remembered she had asked him where he was staying in New York. “Hello, Louise,” she greeted. “Louise?” “Uh huh. You're Louise Marran- way whom I'm visiting in New York. Dear Louise.” Terry shut the door behind him and looked at her thoughtfully. She lounged nonchalantly in the chair, attractive in her soft cadet blue wool sports suit, light fox collar and smart little felt hat with nose veil. “How,” he inquired, “did you get here?” “Alas, what a welcome,” she sighed. “Puff, my child, you picked @ darb to chase. Terry, it was very diinple. Examine my sleeves at your sFeisure and look no more for mir- rors. “I waited a long time for you last Bight and when you didn’t come } called the West house to inquire your whereabouts and was told that a Mr. Willett had called and left Jong ere since. So | took a chance, de- parted thither, and by judicious use of several pictures of Abraham Lin- coln against a background of green, contrived to be let into your room.” She smiled at him. “It was so much pleasanter waiting here than in the lobby.” She gestured toward a tray of White Rock, glasses, cracked ice and a large square bottle. “I even arranged it so that the party starts off right.” “Oh, we're going to have a party?” “So 1 hope, and so I've planned. } told you I knew this town like the palm'of my hand. We're going lots of places and see lots of things. Just take my hand, Lancelot.” Well, why not? Better than sitting eround alone. Looked as though that coin. hag spun both ways, Step on the gas and catch the lights as you go along. They had a drink together. Puff was already a couple up on him. “It's so much nicer being here with you. My statesman father is giving @ speech today. 1 nearly got hooked into attending, but Louise came to my rescue. Dear Louise.” “I'd like to hear the speech your father would give if he knew where you were.” “Couldn't be worse than the one he's putting a few assorted senators io sleep with. It's about sugar beets.” “Sugar beets?” “Or sweet potatoes, or something. Who cares?” She yanked off her hat, flung her- self on the divan, and gave a deep sigh of relief. “Who cares?” she repeated. “You had a lousy time last night, didn’t you?” Willett frowned at his glass. “I'm forgetting last night.” “What were you looking for par- ticularly? “Puff, | don’t think you'd under- < stand if | told you.” “No? What makes you think so?” ¢ She clasped her hands behind her dark head and stretched herself com fortably. “Come on over and sit down, darling.” HE liked to play games and her idea of life was one long good time, but Willett, as he looked at her just then, felt that this nonchalant girl filled a queer need in bis life. He'd lost the only person in the world he'd cared anything about. Puff was very pretty and very in- triguing and there was no reason why he shouldn't flow along with the stream. She gave him a slow mocking glance from those heavily lashed violet eyes. “Afraid of finding something you were looking for?” He didn’t say anything, but went over and sat down beside her. She stretched out her arms and clasped her hands behind his neck A bracelet slid down one tanned young arm. Her mouth was very red and there was an air of cocktails, delicate perfume and cigarets about by David Garth her; but there was also the tatrigu- ing slow caress of her words and a NEVER MIND THE LADY trick of invitation in those eyes of hers. “Well, Terry Willett?” she said. “This isn’t heading right, Puff.” “Don’t be silly,” she requested. “Darling, you're such a little boy—” “Oh, hell—” He made an impatient move, but her hands tightened. “Little boy,” she repeated provoca tively. “Little boy lost in a depart: ' ment store and yelling for his mother. Tall, and strong, and straight, but you feel lost. I can tell, darling. Why worry?—the world wasn’t made to worry about. Do you | know—that you haven't kissed me et?” “I know that,” said Terry. “Don’t you think—you’d care to try it?” Willett tried it. She didn’t want to let him go, but he gently disengaged her hands. What was the matter with him, he wondered. Was he about to turn his collar around, or something, or did he seem | to feel the ironic mockery of two | dark eyes as he landed with Puff on the rebound? He got up and walked back to the table, poured out two shots and handed one to the girl. “You're a swell kid. Put it down to dumbness and let’s head in another direction.” “Lancelot,” she sighed, “I dub thee Galahad—for the nonce.” She raised her glass. “For the gonce.” The rest of that evening was a confused blur. Puff took a room near- by to which she repaired to dress in | an evening gown, and she called up some male friend of hers in town whose measurements she computed to be close to Terry’s to send over some dress clothes for Willett. When he appeared in evening dress she won & mental bet with herself. He looked grand in them, the bronze of his face contrasting with the gleaming whiteness of his starched shirt bossom, and the easy natural way his rangy form carried them. Willett didn’t care—he just flowed | along with the stream of her enthusi- asm. Time enough for struggle in the days to come. HEY landed in some night club far uptown where night's grin- ning jungle ecstasy was rampant in the spectacular savage blare of a colored jazz band. Lights flashed in darkness, a mas- ter of ceremonies introduced lots of people, a chorus of garishly decked girls pounded the floor with the sharp staccato of dancing heels and raised their voices in tinny song. A dusky prima donna sang @ throaty: haunting refrain about winds and her men, or something. A blonde girl at a table near them giggled over the antics of her escort. They left that place and went to another, Puff had an argument with somebody about a cocktail called the Earl of Westminster. A rcller-skat- ing entertainer asked for a volunteer to be swirled around; Puff volun- teered and was left so dizzy she couldn’t stand up. Everybody laughed. Terry wondered if all these peo- ple were having fun. He had a couple more drinks and tried to join the parade. They met complications at a club filled with dress clothes and high prices. There were four men in everyday clothes leaning against a bar. They were all members of a nationally famous football team and they said so. They also said they had been in the place since four o'clock that af- ternoon. The manager warned them he didn’t want any high jinks. When Puff came in with Terry they tried some high jinks. “Hey, Christ; “know that girl?” Christy, lounging against the bar with his cheek on one hand, opened his eyes boredly. “Gretchen Tillinghast,” he re- turned, and closed his eyes again. “I'll bet Christy doesn’t know her name at all.” “Do so,” refuted Christy with dig- nity, his eyes still shut. “If you don't Ike the name, Ned, pick ‘nother. All the same.” “It's all right,” said Ned “Let’s huddle.” They put their heads together. “I figure the escort for a five-yard loss,” advised one. “We'll ask the babe in,” decided the man they called Ned. “I'll flip you,” offered Ned. They flipped; Joe lost. Ned ambled over to Terry’s table and addressed himself to Puff. “Babe,” he said, “do you know that there have been times when seventy thousand people would give their shirts to know what went off in that huddle?” (Copyright. 1985. by David Geren said one of them, So Everybody, Thursday, Goes to Court. : PROOF READING CONTEST : Whe Error Is...

Doings Around The Golf Links (By GRAVY) eo Below you will find your handi- cap score for playing in the com- ing tournament. The way the handicap wa; obtained is by this fashion: several players gave you the score they believed you could make under ordinary conditions; those were averaged and in order to keep it equal between good and bad players, 75% of the dif- ference between your score and par was given you. It works in this wise: Sam Harris has a hand- icap of 21. Suppose he made a 91 for 18 holes. That would give him a net of 70. His opponent being Atwood Sands made a 95 and with a handicap of 22 would |’ have a net of 73, in which case Sam would be declared winner. So below you will find your handicap: Lopez—4. Strunk—14. Watkins—15. Doc Kemp—16. Pittman—24. Goldsmith—10. Kirschenbaum—18. O’Bryant—26. Ketchum—22. Spottswood—10. Kerr—15. Price—15. Mel Russell—24. Ayala—22. Sam Harris—21. Plummer—16. Malone—21.
