FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1939 W YEAR’S LOVE by Angela Lorden flan Collings, the man she es. David Norris, her fiancé. Yesterday: At the hospital, Elaine watks in just as Allan was about to tell Noel something. Chapter 24 An Awful Idiot DO rpapsieae enough, it was El- sie Grant who gave Noel some sense of co! in the ensuing hectic days. Without realizing it, too, she advanced David’s cause with Noel. On impulse, Noel called Denise’s shop and invited Elsie to have din- ner with her. Elsie wat a different Person than the dispirited young ‘woman who had joined the Christ- mas party in Claiborne. She was blossoming—it was the new job. She was more smartly dressed, too. “Security is a wonderful thing for a woman, isn’t it?” Noel com- mented as they sat in her living- room. “I've you to thank for it all. I don't know how I'll ever repay you.” Elsie’s eyes were shining. “You don’t know what it is to be jobless—to wonder where your next week’s rent is coming from,” Elsie continued. “Oh, don’t I?” Noel was remem- bering the lean seasons with no calls from producers epee) her courage. She found hersel. telling some of this to Elsie, of her own unhappy period at the Wer; mouth Club. “Are you still there?” She asked Elsie. “Yes, I could afford something better now but I’m afraid not to save every dollar I can. I'll stay on a while longer until I’m sure my place is permanent with Ma- dam Denise.” $ Noel could understand that, too. “Promise me one thing, Elsie—if you're ever in any difficulties, will you let me know at once? I’ll have more than I need for myself.” She was thinking of David and his wealth. “I’m marrying David Norris in a few weeks.” There, she'd said it with finality. “We'll be away for most of the summer but I'll keep in touch with you somehow.” Elsie was trying to wish Noel happiness with stumbling words. Her face had a strange look as though she were remembering some secret. “Were you ever in love?” Noel asked unexpectedly. She was sorry the next moment when she saw E’- sie’s reaction. The thin young fig- ure seemed to become tense in the low chair. Noel had a feeling Elsie resented the questian. “Yes,” she finally admitted, “It wasn't pleasant.” “Don't talk about it then,” Noel Protested. “T'd like to—it doesn’t hurt any more.” Her voice bélied the words. “I was engaged to be married back home. A week before our wedding he <es with the richest girl in town. That's why I came to New York—to forget. Places don’t make much difference when you've been hurt so bitterly.” _ “T'm sorry.” Noel felt her words so inadequate. “T'd never trust any man again!” Elsie spoke cynically. “That not fair to yourself,” Noel suggested. “I hope you'll be mar- ried happily some day.” “If I do it will be for companion- ship—and security,” Elsie retorted. Security, Noel was thinking—how women cling to the word. She didn't tell Elsie that's why she had first promised David—out of fear of the future and what it might hold for her. But she thought about it con- tinuously while she went to the theater. Love only brings misery— there was her own experience, and Elsie’s. It was out of this retrospection that she talked with David after the performance that night. He brought up the subject of the mar- riage ceremony — where would they have it? Who would be there? Tl consent to that, too. And help if I can.” “That's good of you, David.” The conversation settled some- thing in Noel’s mind, in her heart, also. She was reconciled now—in- sisted to herself she’d conquered her feeling for Allan. It was pare seething beautiful she dn’ want to uy ay ever. But it was already in past! Noel told herself she was sure of her own emotions when she went back to the hospital to see Allan. “At last!” he exclaimed not ie pcre when he saw her, Z jought you were never com: g.' He was cheerful, cordial and friendly. He didn’t hold her hand this time nor ask her to draw her chair close to him. “You'll soon be back at your desk,” Noel suggested. A dark frown crossed his fave. “It ‘won’t be that quickly,” he re- plied seriously, then smiled at her. “That hat’s very becoming.” He was changing the subject. “It does things to your eyes.” And cone doing things to my heart, Noe] thought. For all her de- termination she couldn’t hélp it— she peached over and touched his and, “T’ve been thinking about you so much, Allan.” She meant about their last meeting. the way he had. called her darling, the way he had looked at her ardently. “T’m glad you haven't forgotten our friendship, Noel.” He said it slowly, keeping his voice even— and pleasant. Noel drew back as though he had struck her, There was no mistaking the meaning of his remark. He was putting her in her place, He was trying to make her understand the last meeting had been nothing im- portané—she was to forget it! Well, she would! She'd show him! Pain of the first shock was submerged in her rising anger. “I'll be going away soon, you know.” ; Kind About It H= turned his face away from her. “When?” he asked finally. “In a few weeks,” was all she could manage. She didn’t tell him this would be the last time she’d see him before that. She couldn’t stand it again. She didn’t want his calm, placid friendship. What the: did she want? Her emo’ an reason were all entangled in incon- sistencies not even she could un= derstand. The room was so still she could hear the small clock ticking on his table. “I'll miss you.” Her voice was low, unsteady. He couldn’t see that her lips were trembling. He didn’t answer. She couldn’t bear the silence. “I’d better be go- ing,” she suggested. “Not yet,” as he turned. It was a plea, so insistent! “You've only just come,” he protested. “Can't. you stay a while Tonger?* But when she sat there he was | quiet. She wanted to ask, “Am I boring you, Allan?” She couldn’t understand his mood—it was so strange, for him. “How long will you be here?” She had to say some- sure “They'll let me home soon, I'll go up to Claiborne, with mother,” he replied. “There’s not much more they can do for me here.” “Then back to your office?” “I don’t know when I'll go back.” His tone closed the subject. Noel understood him to mean that when he’d recovered he would be mar- rying Elaine. She stood by the bed, she had to get out, away from him. “I must be going!” But she stood there as though she couldn’t leave him—this last time. ~ Noel leaned down, brushed her lips against his. “Be a good pa- tient and remember me, Allan,” she sald. struggling to keep the quaver out of her voice, His hand clutched her shoulder, holding her face close to his. “I can’t bear it!” The choking words came out be. fore she could. stop them, Allan’s arms tightened round her, pressed her face against his. “You mustn’t cry, darling,” his own voice was strange. “I don’t want to leave you, joel had a sense of closing every door behind her as she passively agreed with all his plans, David had a friend, a clergyman up in Westchester. They'd drive there in time to come back and board the Elana for its North Cape Cruise. ‘It We Waited Awhile... “AREN'T you afraid to marry me, David, knowing how I feel, knowing so much about me?” She interrupted ee eagerly reported en “If you mean . . .” Whatever he was to say he didn’t utter. he looked at her stead- ily, “I know you think you don’t ret. aw. lear.

Why had she made such a fool of her- mirror, there was only a blur. By the time she turned from the win- dow she could smile, a little shak- fly, and say with what for a laugh: “T'm an. awful idiot,’ Allan— | about people I like.” “You're the loveliest person I’ve ever known,” Allan’s reply came slowly.
