Caro} glanced towards the dark girl ‘and smiled again, and they met in the doorway. “Are you walking?” Carol asked. Mary Bllen Sands nodded. “Are you?” “Yes. Should we stay and get met again, do you. suppose?” “1 don’t see why. it’s about din- ner time and I’m hungry.” She would be. They went down the steps and turned towards town. Mary Ellen said: “You're Caroline Torrance, aren’t you?” “I was. It’s been Carol for a long time now. Which are you: Mary or Ellen?” “Both.” Cérol laughed. “Don’t think I'm going to call you all that. Which had you rather?” “Ellen, I guess.” “Ellen it fs, then. Thank good- ness for somebody that knows how to walk.” Ellen grinned. “It’s my business. Good thing, too; we'll probably have @ lot of it to do in these nine months. Is this your first year of teaching?” “My second. The first was four years ago: | was drafted into this at the eleventh hour. Are you new at it?” Ellen Sands grimaced. “Yes: I just graduated in June. I’m scared to death.” “You needn't be. Bluff it out.” The pavement was hot beneath their feet and an occasional tree laced the sidewalk with shadows. The grass smelled hot and dusty, like the golf course at home. Nos- talgia swept Carol again, washing way her confidence. She said quickly: “Tell me about you. Where you went to school, and all that.” “G. W. C. One sister—younger— & mother, and a father who's in the rug business and too generous for his own good.” Carol matched her tnformation and then said: “Do you know where you're going to live?” “I haven't the faintest. I just vame this morning. Do you?” “No, but<J've get a list of pros- pects. After lunch we.might go on a hunt... .” ‘HE search was not encouraging. The first house on Carol's list was filled; the second frowned on them as they went up the walk. It was a beautiful shell of a house, with boxwood bordering the walk, and paint flaking from the Doric columns. “It looks sort of bleak,” whispered. Carol shrugged. “Twelve foot ceil- ings and black walnut Empire furniture and a two foot grate in each room. | know its kind by heart.” She was right. The house and its owner gave off the sick, sweet odor of decaying gentility. They made a quick escape. Carol looked thoughtful. “What do you say to hunting a place that’s . commoner and has steam heat?” “Suits me, if you think our social position can stand it.” In the end they found a house on the street leading to the high school, ® nondescript house that lived for the present and cast no longing glances over its shoulder. The land- lady was youngish and friendly and intentionally blonde. She had two vacant rooms, she said; a large one at twenty dollars a month and a smaller one of fifteen. They inspect- ed the rooms, both as nondescript as the house but light and with ap- parently adequate heating, and en- gaged them at once. The living-room, Carol noticed in passing, was discouraging: gilded cat-tails in .a/pottery Jar, a chromo jot Notre Datne de Paris with ‘ mother-of-pearl windows, an ungain- {ly cabinet ‘radio blaring unheeded (Jazz.

She had replaced the thin, mossy rugs with | hooked ones from her own room, and covered the bed with a wool coverlet of faded rose. The “Stag At Eve” and “The Melon Eaters” had bowed to German lithographs, and a dozen books stood on the table in the mellow glow of a lamp. | “T couldn’t have stood it the other | way,” she admitted. “If only I could do something about the Great Lakes on the ceiling. ...” Ellen sat down. “You certainly are good-looking,” Ellen said impulsively. She looked impersonally at her- self and supposed she was. Her eyes | were smoky blue and wide-spaced, with thick lashes and straight dark brows that weren't quite in line, and her mouth was wide and well-cut. The nose wasn’t much, but the gen- eral effect was good. Her hair was | light brown, and because it had a slight wave and was cut very short she never bothered with perma- nents, She said honestly: “I guess so. I’d | swap it any time for your zest for H living.” Ellen grimaced. “That’s what you think. 1 stay in hot water all the time because of it. I act first and then think, and half the time I can’t tell what I'm going to say until I hear it, and then I'm more surprised if \ than anybody else!” Carol laughed. “I wish I was like that.” She ran a comb carelessly through her hair. “Lets go. I've got @ hunch you'd better not be late to meals at our establishment.” (Copyright, 1936, by Marian Sima) aa | First Game At Pittsburgh Chicago Pittsburgh Batteries: nett; den, R. H.
