PAGE FOUR Jwo’s Com By MARGARET GUION HERZOG The Characters Nina has married David, trying to escape her intense love for her stepfather. Richard, the charming, well- tailored stepfather, tried to pre- went her marriage. Honey, Nina’s gay, plump, outhful mother, is wild about Richard, her recently, acquired husband. David, @ bright young auto Salesman who worships Nina, has éloped with her—at Nina’s sug* Gestion. Chapter 22 Cordelia’s Black-Tie Party ‘HROUGHOUT dinner, and lat- er, Nina talked—said things but she couldn’t remembef what, afterwards. Only the part of her brain that made her tongue move, was working properly. The rest of het was a solid mass of longing— and, yes, jealousy, too. She ached so, for the feel of Richard, his arms .. . his lips, that it ‘was sheer agony: and when he held Honey close to him she felt mear to hating her mother. David's handclasp—his arm around her, could bring no com- fort now, only more hurt. At the end of the meal. when mey, all unwittingly, suggested that they leave the two men to- pee for a while, Nina de- didn’t care. And she loved him for not trying to seem to be any- thing that he—wasn’t. The difficulty of dress had been surmounted by Cordelia’s saying: “Black ties” to all the men, because she suspected David didn’t own a tail coat. She said it to David, too, when they were discussing the party ... and, instead of saying: ‘All. right,” he said: “Swell—i don’t.own anything but a tuxedo ”” And on account of that very Small fact, Cordelia had congratu- lated Nina again, later, for choos- ing op a grand person for a hus- rand. “He’s real, Nina. He’s a—per- on.” And Nina agreed. “He’s a very cute—somebody, and I adore him.” She did. The next event on their social calendar was very different. Two of David’s friends—Gracie Nolan, and Jack Knight—had ar- ranged a little dinner in theif honor. Knight was another salestnan who worked in the same show- room as David; and Gracie had worked there in the past, as a pri- vate secretary. Jack thought that Gracie was his girl, Gracie thought otherwise . Pag but hes got on pretty well, in spite of the difference of opinion. Off Come Two Bracelets N4 gave some thought to the matter of what dres8 she should wear to the party. arid de- © David spoke with engaging frankness of his turning Nina into a “Oh, we don’ t waht to be formal with grooms: But the meal reason was that she n't want to be flone with ; didn’t want to have to talk iy and intimately about her own ‘avesty of a marriage, with loney—who was so wildly happy, hers. Nina thought; “This is sort of the end, I guess.” She could never feel quite the same with her moth- ef now. That night, when David had en asleep beside her, she lay ie along time, thinking ... think- re a the thing that would come in her mind, the question that pt insisting itself, was this: did ichard love her still? ‘What had been in those dark es, when he looked at her across table?

It had a medium eckline, and ‘@ suspicion of a sleeve. Without its perky velvet hat and nose veil, it was almost a dinner dress. “Come in at seven... there will be six of us,” Gracie had said over the telephone. Nina was frankly puzzled. Beyond the statement that the men were not dressing, David had been ho earthly good to her} so= without being the least bit snob- bish—Nina decided it would be in better taste not to run any risk of seeming to be putting on the dog. Before they started, David took het by the shoulders, and grinned at her. “Now listen, baby ... 'm not making any excuses, because I wouldn’t: have these people for friends if 1 didn't like’m .. . but remember, the Social Register never heard of these gals and boys.

Simpler than your friends.” Nina said of course she under- stood and was dying to méet them; and she went into the bedroom promptly, and took off two brace- lets and one ring. She left on her slender gold wedding-ring, and the single strand of exquisitely matched pearls her father had given her. That was all right. They would probably think they were false, anyway.
