FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1936. SYNOPSIS. Sally Warren, so- ciety editor of the Warrenton Courier, is secretly engaged to Terry Maynard, boyish blond avi- ator who has a South American job promised. But her pretty, headstrong younger sister, Tip, falls in love with Terry. Philip Page, returning to his boyhood home, buys the Courier and backs the workmen in a strike at the Morris mili. Terry urges Sal- ly to marry him at once, but she asks a week to decide. Wealthy, handsome Mary Morris thinks she’s.in love with Philip and asks Sally to help her interest him. While Sally takes her to Mill- town, Terry calls for Sally, waits and finally goes off with Tip. Chapter 17 Terry’s Job Calls Him ALLY did not know how long Tip} and Terry were gone. Unable to bear the silence of the house and the burden of her own thoughts, she had slipped out the back door, fled across the garden out of her stepmother’s sight, and gone for a long walk. When she came in, exhausted by what seemed hours of tramping, Tip’s light was or. and Tip’s door was shut. Sally crept into bed and slept soundly. The next morning she was inclined | to laugh at her suspicions of the night before. What if Terry had taken Tia out with him? Tip had proba- bly asked him to—and hadn't Sally herself urged him to take Tip out tiiae und again? She waited for Terry to telephone ber Each time the telephone on her | desk rang, she picked up the receiver éxpecting to ear Terry's voice. When he’ finally called, it was mid- afternoon. ' “Hello,” came Terry's voice, cheer- ful and matter of fact. - “You didn’t wait for me last night,” said Sally. She didn’t mean to Say it. but sne could not keep back the hint of reproach. ‘ “Just took Tip for a little ri saiv Terry casially. “Poor kid was Jow in her mind and | thought " would cheer her up.

Tip was gay again, and | inade them all laugh with a tale about Joe Morris, Jr. Joe had made the mis- tahe of admitting to the crowd that day iha: he was taking reducing ex- e vises He «as only 20, but his fond- ness for sweets and his indolence were bringing on a_ middle-aged spread which Tip and the others did not allow him to forget : “" hate boys to be fat and pudgy,” gaid Tip. “I won't marry a man unless e's tall and broad and—” : “Handsome and rich,” fi brother Ray. “We've he: fore.” “He's got to be blond,” said Tip. “Ever hear that before?” Sally did not look at Tip, but she felt her own face grow hot. and her heart beat very fast. How much fur- th -r would Tip go? !. “How do you get that blond demanded Ray. “Philip Page is dark- @ than I am.” “I don't like him. He's too old. Mary Morris can have him. ‘Children--children!” Mr. Warren rose from the tab!

A yoice on the phone asked for Tip. * “Whom shall 1 say it ” asked Sally, feeling suddenly tiat she must hear the voice again to be sure that it was not Terry’s. “It's Duke Adam: and Sally's knees blood sang in her ears * “Just a -ninute, please.” Sally's yoice managed somehow to be cool anc to pretend not to recognize Terry Meynard.

The g ‘To xet the right man is | Ise voice | Sally went into the kitchen and began to stack and scrape the dishes. What had happened to Terry and Tip and herself, that they must try to de- ccive each other? Mrs. Warren was talkative as they washed and dried the dishes. Was Sgliy thinking of taking a vacation this summer? No, Sally did not think she would be allowed one. Anyway, sh cvuld not afford it. Then Sally |must certainly take more rest at night When the kitchen was neat, Sally turned to her stepmother. “I'm going out and lie in the hammock for awhile. It’s so hot in my room.” “Better put on your light jacket, then,” said Mrs. Warren. “It turns cool out there in the garden.” Sally got the jacket, not because she needed it, but because she was tuuched by Mrs. Warren’s small theught for her comfort. It was not of..n that Mrs. Warren noticed Sally’s comings and goings except ta criticize. The hammock was a haven of peace until some friends of Ray and Tip arrived and a bridge game was start- ed on the side porch. Sally looked longingly toward the garden of the Page house, where she had sought refuge in the days before Philip Page came to live there. The Page house was in utter darkness. There was |scarcely a chance that Philip Page would leave the office so early in the evening. Saliy slipped quietly out of }e cwn garden gate, and entered the Page place through a gap in the japonica hedge, which was higher than her head. The heavy fragrance of honey- |suckle was everywhere about her. Sally wandered through the deep, un- cu: grass, picking a handful of the blooms and sucking the honey from | them as she had often done when she | was a child. The great magnolia trees | were in full bloom, and their heady | etness was like a strong current jin the air Sally stumbled against a big wicker chair that someone had | placed under one of the bigger trees. | Ske sat dowr in it with a little feel- Jiag of guilt. This must be Philip's clair, but then Philip had little time | to cnjoy the peace of his garden." Solitude And Decision deide on the answer she must give to Terry Maynard by the end of the week. But why the end of the |week? She would spend tomorrow | evening with him. Why not give him he: answer then, and end the | strained situation they all suffered over? The peace of the old garden worked its magic with Sally’s understanding. | It cautioned her to wait, not to mar- |ry Terry in haste. If she waited, she would be sure of Terry's feeling and her own. She would give Tip time to recover from her infatuation and fall ir love with someone else. Terry was not going away vet. His South Amer- ieas job was not yet certain. Let him @ as much of Tip as he chose, and re of Sally than she had let him see these last weeks. It would be bet- ter for all of them. When Sally ‘nally rose to go, she |had settled nothing but the fact that | |she seemed to have solved every- |thing At any rate, she had found | peace. As she left the garden behind | her, she wondered what Mary Morris | would do with it if ever she became | mistress of the old Page house. Cer- ily she would trim the shrubs and | cut the grass. Probably she would put | in a swimming pool and tennis court jOr she wouid decide the place was | hopeless, and build a new home for | herself and Philip in the fashionable | section toward the club. | Early the next morning, Sally's | new-found peace was shattered by a |disturbing announcement that came through Lola Hopkins at the office. “Oh, there you are!” Lela entered br-ezily and came straight to Sally's desk. “If you aren't the close-mouthed one—holding out on your own news- | paper.” | “What do you mean?” | “Ever hear of a young fellow | named Terry Maynard?” | He--he hasn't crashed—” Sally's | face turned white. | “He's crashed into a darn good job with South American ‘Air Lines— | better than what they offered: him'a as if you didn’t know it, either. His | mother told me this morning they've cabled for him to come right away. She wants me to put the story on the front page, and there’s where it's “He's going—right away?” Sally |felt faint. The words she nad typed on the sheet blurred before nez eyes. “Want me to put in something about the wedding?” asked Lola. ‘No—no, of course, not. 1 mean, so far as I know there isn’t going to ve a wedding.” “Just as you say,” agreed Lola, | louking at her keenly. “Terry's moth- er said he was going to be married ; before he left town. If it’s not you, | who is it?” |} “I don’t.know,” said Sally slowly. | Sh> scarcely knew what she said. If isrry had got the news last night, had he not called her? Had he t-i» Tip first? Sally refused to believe that. right, 1936, Bailey Wolfe) Tip argues desperately with Sally over Terry temorrew. Erfective December 22nd, 1935. S. S.
