WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1936. SY NOFSIS: Sauy warren, at- tractive, 22 and considerate, joins the Warrenton Courier staff as society editor to boost the family income. She wants to help Ray and »retty, headstrong Tip, the 18-year-old Warren twins. Terry Maynard, boyish blond aviator, lands a job with South American prospects and asks Sally to marry him. They become secretly en- gaged. Philip Page, whom Sally hasn’t seen since childhood, buys the Courier. He finds her dream- ing in the moonlight in the garden of his old home. Together they go through the long-vacant house. Sally notes his charm, but decides to be very formal with her new employer at the office. Chapter Nine Private Secretary “(OOD MORNING, Miss Warren,” said Philip Page. “1 hope | didn’t cut your conversation short, but 1 wanted to speak to you about a slight change in the make-up of your page.” He sat down by Sally’s desk and told her briefly and clearly what he wanted. His manner was business- like to the point of brusqueness, and he made no reference to their meet- ing of the evening before. * Sally, observing him as he talked, decided that he was quite as good looking as she had thought him the night before. His mouth was firm and well shaped, his eyes were dark aid ysqbivieli apart beneath black brows.” His brown hair was brushed back’ from a high, thoughtful fore- head. if might be curly hair, Sally thought, if, it were not so severely brushed: “That's ‘all, /1-believe,” said Philip Page, rising. “By the way, do you take dictation?” “1 did once,” said Sally, “but I’ve} forgotten some of my shorthand, I'm| afraid.” “I shall need someone who can take dictation from time to time,” said Philip Page. “If you feel you could! manage it in addition to your work at the desk here, 1 should be very glad. There will be a salary for that special work, of course.” “I'd be very glad to do i Sally. She liked the idea of work- ing for Philip Page, and she could certainly use the money. “Good,” said Philip, and retired into the inner office, leaving a cheer- ful and somewhat excited Sally be- kind him. When she reached home that eve- ning, Sally found Tip excited over the prospect of Mary Morris’ party. “It'll be the first real party we've had this summer,” gloated Tip. “I've just got to have a new dress. Can I have one, Sally?” “What's happened to the new frock we bought for the graduation dance?” demanded Sally. “Oh, that's oid, now. Everybody in town has seen that thing.” Tip was stretched out full length in the hammock, looking very pretty in an old sun-back dress that had faded to a faint pink. Sally sudden- ly felt very tired, and wished Tip ‘would get up and Jet her lie in the while. Ip Mother with supper,” said Sally suddenly. “I feel like be- ing lazy.” Tip stared up at her in amazement, then, unexpectedly, she rolled out of the hammock onto the grass and picked herself up. “All right.” she said. “I don’t mind.” And then with a mischievous smile as she ran to- ward the house. “You will try to get won't you, Sally?” “1 won't promise anything,” said Sally firmly. She took off her hat and let the wind ruffle through her hair. The hammock was swung be- tween two apple trees on the edge of the garden, and the dappled shade of the great trees made it an invit- ing spot. iy lay k elf a little} push. The idle motion of the swing made h sleepy and very con- tent. With eyes half closed, she day- Ggeamed about the party Mary Mor- Fig was giving. She would wear her alt white ndy—no, she would have a new dress, a blue one, of some it stuff. Terry liked her in soft things like silk or voile. She won- dered what Philip Page liked. She guessed he would like Mary Morris. Wary was handsome and pbrilliant,| asd had begB about a great deal in the world that Jay outside of War- renton, the world Philip Page knew. | Terry’s Ideal Of A Wife her. She wanted to hear that he loved her. She was, somehow, lonely. And then he did come, and Tip with him. He flung himself down on the grass, and Tip sat down besidc him. Sally wished Tip would go away. She wanted Terry—someone—all to her- self, this afternoon. “Let’s have a game of tennis and a swim at the lake before supper,” proposed Terry. ee “Let's “not,” ‘sald’ ‘Sally.’ “Let's’: dress, go somewhere ‘and éat'‘and dance afterwards.” te i $i9t eo :08 “All right.. Get your hat.” ine “Tl call up Joe Morris and we'll go, to,” proposed Tip. “Sure,” said Terry, merrier.” Tip ran away to call Joe, but Sally 4 still lay in the hammock. She did not want Joe and Tip with them. She had wanted to go somewhere with Terry, for once, alone. “Tired?” asked Terry. “Tired of the office,” said Sally. “Not too tired to dance.” “Swell,” said Terry. He leaned over and kissed her, ruffling her hair, as he always liked to do. “I wish you didn’t have to work, honey. You won't after we're married.” “But | like to work,” protested Sally. “Now that 1 have worked, 1 can’t imagine being content just to stay at home and keep house and go to bridge parties.” “I want my wife to stay at home,” said Terry, half seriously, “except when she’s flying with me. 1 want her all to myself, She's got to de- vote an awful lot of time to me.” “That wouldn’t be hard,” laughed Sally. '““Only—wouldn’t you - want her to devote herself to anything’ but waiting on your whims and fancies?” 0, 1 wouldn't,” said Terry. “I want a woman who'll be Johnhy-on- the-spot when | want her. She’s got- to be willing to knock about with me wherever I go, and not get tied down too tight to any one spot.” Terry laughed. “I guess maybe that sounds pretty serious.” “Let's not be serious,” said Sally, rolling out of the hammock. She did not like to admit to herself that this picture Terry drew of married life was not like her picture. Yet she had always known that Terry thought of women only as creatures to be loved, protected and played with. She knew that her own belief that every woman should have a life and inter- ests of her own, apart from her hus- band, would shock Terry. ‘One Of Us Might Change’ CEN: JOE MORRIS, son of old Joe, Warrenton’s wealthiest citi- zen, insisted on taking the four of them to Chase City, where there was a popular roof garden. In vain they protested the expense of the root garden. Young Joe had a larger al- lowance than he could spend and he loved nothing better than spending money on Tip, whom he had adored since their early high school days. Tip received Joe's extravagance and ad- miration as her due. Dancing with Terry, Sally looked up at him and decided he was easily* the handsomest man on the floor. She felt proud of possessing a man at whom other girls stared with in- terest. “Happy?” questioned Terry. “Perfectly.” “Not perfectly,” said Terry. “Not until we're married and on the way to South America.” Abruptly he added, “I don’t like this waiting around to get married and keeping it secret. Something might happen —one of us might change.” Sally laughed at him. “All the more reason for waiting, if you're going to find out you don’t want me after all. It would be so much worse if we were married first and found out afterwards.” “Just the same,” said Terry, “1 don't believe in long engagements.” It was very late when they left Chase City. They sang the whole way home, and then Sally and Tip said goodnight in whispers so that Mrs. Warren would not wake and look at the clock. The next morning at breakfast Mrs. Warren informed them that Philip Page had called the evening before. “Just my luck,” said Tip. “I stay around three nights out of the week and nothing happens, but let me leave and a good looking man comes to call.” “He wouldn’t have paid any at- “the more the’ | tention to you,” retorted Ray, her twin. “He spent the whole time talk- ing to Mother and Dad and most-of | it playing chess with Dad.” “He seems to be a very fine man,” said Mrs. Warren. Coming from her, this was great praise, for she seldom | approved of any of the men who called at the Warrens’.. “He has Atar rattled noisily down Rose- mary street. Sally knew it was Terry's. She was glad he came often| to the Warren house these days. It} was fun to be able to go out with} Terry to ride or to dance after a day in the office.

She was about | to call out to him when she heard| an answering whistle from inside the house. That must be Ray—no, it was Tip. She heard Terry's voice, then Tip’s. She could not hear what they said, but she heard Tig laugh The minutes went by and still Terry did not co-xe to find her. Sally wanted him to come and sit by | promised to find a place for Ray in the circulation department of the paper.” “That's wonderful!” Sally could not be grateful enough to Philip Page. Now Ray could help to earn his own money for college in the fall. “Philip is very much like father,” said Mr. Warren. “I pred’ he'll make a success of the paper He's put everything he has into All the way to the office, Sally re- joiced over the news of the break- fast table. Her father had found a friend, and her young brother had found a much-needed job. (Copyright, 1936, Bailey Wolfe) Philip decides to fight wealthy Ms. Morris tomorrow.
