THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER ‘YESTERDAY: Rebellion. rises im Cecily when Olivia sends her 18 miles to telephone a message. On her return she looks around Vickersport, and discovers that the library is inadequate. That might she makes plans. Chapter Seven Dream Come True (CILY made lists and she wrote figures. The lists showed her assets and her needs. She had at least six hundred books to use in he circulating library. She had irs and lounges and lamps with ch to furnish the shop, She had fifty-five dollars and a few cents over. She needed a sizeable sum to have her things packed in New York and sent to her. Hi:da would be glad enough to send them and take ber own furniture from stor- ege. She needed money for an in- itial payment on fresh stock and she needed three months’ rent in advance—sixty-seven dollars and fty-seven cents total for rent. She could get by on two hun- dred dollars. She knit her brow and chewed on her pencil. How does one get two hundred dollars with which to start a business that will make one independent? Aunt Olivia! She would lend it to Cecily, cer- tainly. Cecily turned down the lamp and snuggled under her cov- ers, eager for the coming day. . . Cecily’s eyes grew rounder and rounder as she added up a lengthy column of figures. She shook her head disbelievingly and wet her pencil. Then shc added them again, checked and re-checked them. They were‘correct. Astonishingly, overwhelmingly, joyously correct. She drew in her breath and looked out from over the card ta- ble she used as a desk to the win- dow beyond, which looked out onto the street. “Laura.” she said to the quiet figure sitting in the wicker chair busy with knitting, “what do you think s-k-o-o-b spells?” Laura Atwill counted her stitches and replied obligingly, “Sounds like scoob to me. What does it mean?” “It’s books spelled backward,” Cecily answered dreamily with her eyes still fastened on the let- ters in the window of her shop. | hi “and it means independence, ac- complishment and wealth beyond the dreams of avarice.” She might have lost herself in her pleasant reverie had her eycs not dropped again to the figures which recalled to her that she was @ business women. She picked up the list. “As an essociate, you will be interested to hear my first report. Be prepared to be impressed.” Laura put away her knitting and led the younger girl afiec- ely. “Let's hear the figures.” y made an impressive sound n her throat and read: “Cash on hand at end of second week since opening, forty-three dollars and seventy-five cents—” Laura said, “Not really! How?” “We opened July third. Week of July third, we made six dollars on the rental of twenty-eight books at twenty-five cents each. We sold five new mysteries at two dollars each and one of Ted’s prints at three dollars. We did better last week. Week of July tenth, we rent- ed thirty-nine books with a profit of eight seventy-five. We sold two wints at three each and four ks, totaling five dollars. Cash on hand, I repeat, is forty-three dollars and seventy-five cents and we'll make more every week. Is that wealth beyond the dreams of avarice?” “But. Cecily, how much of it is profit?” Olivia's Heip “= ET me see. Expenditures: fifty cents for movies, forty - five cents for ice-cream and thirty- four cents for stamps. Total: one dollar and thirty-nine cents. That means there's iorty-two dollars and thirty-four cents for you to take to the bank to deposit to Aunt Olivia's account. That will make forty-two dollars and thirty-four cents less that I owe her. You don’t mind going to the bank for me while f make out cards for this new lot?” “Of course, I don’t mind.” Laura said, getting up at once. There was a smile hovering at the corner of Cecily’s mouth and a twinkle in her eye when she said, “Oh, by the way, will you please take it to Mr. Hemingway him- self? He's taken such an interest in the shop, I wan* him to know how we're getting on.” Laura didn't answer her but Cecily saw that there was a slight flush on her cheeks. “Romance happens to everyone but me.” she said, thinking of Laura and Mr. Hemingway, the forty - five - year-old president of the little bank. She didn’t say it until Laura had gone and she was alone to realize all that had hap- pened to her in the past three weeks. She thought: I don’t need ro- mance, because I have all this an § been. ‘Phe most dreamlike part of it had been Olivia’s understanding and help. The morning after she NEW ARRIVAL IN. EUBANKS FAMILY Chief of Police Ivan Elwood, of Key West, received a telegram yesterday afternoon from his daughter, Mrs. Robert B. Eubanks, in Miami, advising that she is ;@aughter are getting along nice- old and Park centerfielder, is the the mother of a fine girl weigh- %4989 Z a Meet Mr. Lochinvar By Marie Blizard =e | had first seen the unoccupied shop, Cecily had gone to her aunt and,, with simple dignity, put the situa- tion before her, She didn’t say any of the things she might have said about not wanting to be dependent on her aunt. She simply said that she had found something that she wanted to do and knew she.could do. She had her figures and her facts and.asked'for the loan of two hundred dollars, Olivia said at once: that she would give her a check and that Cecily was to forget it. Cecily saw her aunt. through new. eyes that morning. The two, for the first time, recognized the tie that was between them. Olivia: Watts had once gone to a man to borrow money for her musical trainin; and.she never forgot how. hard it had been to ask for money. Olivia had not meant to take ad- vantage of.her niece,, pressing her into service as she had. It was sim- ply that Cecily had made it too easy for her. She thought about it after Cecily had left. Cecily, who had a kind of beauty then, a wist- ful happiness that Olivia had never seen in her before. She de- cided that she really must do something social for her, introduce her to more. young people, speak to Gloria about including her cou~ sin on her parties. Olivia basked in the pleasure of doing something kind. Everyone had. been kind. Hilda and the Fennellys had arranged to have her chairs and lounges, lamps and bronzes, and her books packed and sent to her with maximum speed. Ted Pryor had offered her a collection of twenty-four pho- tographic prints for twenty-five dollars for the lot. Mr. Calder had said he didn’t mind if she painted Mexican scenes on the white walls. Lem Soderson, the village curpen- ter, had worked for three nights building the book-cases that lined the small shop and painting them a glowing white. Mrs. Keefer, who ran the big inn, said that Cecily might put up he: poster right over the inn desk. New Friend EVE’ Joe Garfinkle, who ran the local garage, turned out to help her. He supplied her with the names of all the summer people, trucked her thiags from the rail- road station and helped hor un- pack, refusing payment because he said she was just one of the people who'd bring business to im. It had taken her but five days to ready the shop and an hour after she had set the bronze bow! filled with yellow flowers in her win- dow the opening morning, her first customer —old Mrs. Jonathan Brewster, who was rich enough to drive about in an ancient limou- sine — came in and promptly tucked four love-stories under her arm, asked: Ceeily a dozen ques tions about herself and departed. There were other customers, and then one day Laura Atwill came in. It was one of the days when Cecily had to run-down to the rail- road station and Laura volun- teered' ‘to keep the: shop for her un- til she returned: When she left that afternoon, Cecily had made a:friend: A week later, Laura had moved into the shop with a small stock of knit- ting yarns and the understanding that the profits thereof wer2 to be entirely hers in exchange for which she would keep the shop for a few hours a day. It was an advantageous arrange ment for both of them that had nothing of monetary value. in: it. Cecily needed a friend, someone who spoke her own language. And Laura Atwill, who at thirty-five had wandered about the world seeking a place for herself in her loneliness since the deaths of her husband and child six years be- fore, found it in the shop in Vick- ersport. Laura was slight and pretty. But you didn’t see her prettiness: un- til she came out of herself when she was interested in something she was talking about. Cecily. thought she must. have been very interested in showing the shop to Donald Hemingway the day that he came in to see it. He had returned the following day and was obviously disappoint- ed to find that Laura wasn’t there. She was in the next time he came and Cecily found something else to do. That day Donald bought Ted’s photograph of the skyline of New York and a biography. Cecily had thrilled to the vague suggestion of a romantic attrac- tion between her widowed friend and the bachelor bank president. He was so exactly what Laura needed. T'm awfully good at fixing up romance for other people but a little weak on my own, Cecily thought, and went back to cata- loguing a box of new books which had arrived that morning. She took the top one out. She read the title, Ride the Rainbow, and wrote it neatly on a card. Then she looked at the author’s name. She wrote: Callen, Philip. Nice name, Philip Callen, but I’venever heard of him before, she thought. When next she thought of that @} name, it was after the Canadian cruise and, ofall the names writ- ten there on her books, that was the one marked for her by some unknown destiny to select.
