YEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1939 Meet Mr. Lochinvar By Marie Blizard YESTERDAY: The attractive young man who says he is Philip Callen, changes his mind and ex- plains he is Lochinvar from the West. Cecily lends him $2 which is returned with a sprig of rose- mary the next day. Chapter 12 Wonderful Idea AURA came ir. a little later. She found Cecily bent studi- ously over her account books. “Laura, | have a wonderful idea!” Cecily began without pre- amble. “We're going to have a party!” “A party?” Laura repeated ex- citedly. “Yes, a real party, for our cus- tomers. We'll make a poster this morning and—no, we'll make three posters. We'll make them in the form of an invitatio. to a buf- fet supper on Taursday night and we'll hang them at the inn, at the library and the vostoffice. We'll in- vite everyone. Absolutely every- one!” Her eyes shone like stars. “If you invite everyone, that in- cludes strangers, doesn’t it?” “Good Heavens, you can’t do that, Cecily! It'll cost a fortune and we wouldn’t have room for everyone.” “Oh, yes we will,” Cecily an-| swered firmly. “We'll get Sue Cal- der to make gallons of ice-cream and a barrel of »otato salad. We'll have a big crock of baked beans and I'll get huge hams and have them baked. You and | can. make sandwiches of thin bread and but- ter. The whole thing, including havi the dishes washed, won't cost more than twenty dollars and we ought to celebrate! We've been making lots of money and we owe a gesture to our friends.” “We can fill the place with flow- ers and light all the candles,” Laura said, catching the spirit of the thing. Then suddenly she said, “Cecily, what brought all this on?” Cecily felt a quick flame rush to hor cheeks. How could you tell an- other girl that you were so foolish as to hope that your invitation would bring a guest whose name you didn't eve. know? She said, “Laura, I want to in- vite a few people personally. I'll ster and Mrs. Keefer Would you mind 2 T'd like you | ay and.. ry quickl r run up to you'd better Nonsense,” Cecily answered spiritedly. “Laura, he likes you! te'’d be pleased as cen be if you nvited him.

However, we'll take up that problem later. Now, let's organized. I think I'll get out at once. Meanwhile, run over and ask Sue o come over, we could ar- r menu.” h s were finished, Cecily scid, “Laura, on your way past the wn will you leave this one with Keefer? And, by the way, you She insisted that Laura buy a yellow silk that pointed up the cloudy softness of her dark hair. “Tl bé wearing an apron,” Lau- ra protested and bought it. “You'll do nothing of the sort! You'll see that Donald Heming- way has a great big supper and that his coffee is sweetened by your own hand.” Laura turned away to hide her confusion, The invitation said: Supper from seven to nine. Outwardly cool, at six Cecily in- spected the long table — boards placed on carpenters’ horses—at the back of the shop. It had been covered with a pale pink damask cover borrowed from Olivia. The lush blooms of New England’s gardens, wild sweet-peas, cosmos, blue delphinium and pink gladioli, were massed colorfully -in-a wide crystal bowl and surrounded by lighted tapers in silver candle- sticks. Great bowls of salad, brown erocks of fragrant baked beans, platters of pale pink ham, and mounds of sandwiches on basket trays weighted it down tempting- ly. There were glass dishes of thin, bitter-chocolate mints and small mountains of buttery nuts. On another table, there were piles of decorative paper plates, borrowed silver and smal] nap- kins. There was an urn for steam- ing coffee. And in the back in the small] storeroom, there was an ex- cited Sue Calder, dressed in her “best dress” with one of Cecily’s smocks over it, waiting with beam- ing face to serve the tempting food. There were great quantities of it in reserve. A Good Party O UT in the back yard, the youngest Calder, Archibald, turned the handle of the big ice- cream freezer and thought of his position. At ten minutes after six, Cecily said, “Oh, Lord, Laura, what if no- body comes!” Her cheeks burned with excite- ment and her heart quickened with every sound. At half-past six, Mrs. Brewster and her elderly companion rolled up in the Brewster limousine, and Mrs. Brewster inspected the table with her lorgnette. “My, my,” she said appreciatively. “Cecily, my dear, your party is going to be the best ever in Vickersport.” Mrs. Brewster ought to know. In spite of her refusals to invitations for the past twenty years she was still the acknowledged social lead- er of the colony.. Tonight, she had paid Cecily the compliment of coming in her lavender silk. Within fifteen minutes, Cecily knew her party was a success. There were the Goodales, the Har- bingers, the MacGregors—Cecily’s wealthiest customers come down from their big houses, acting as though they were at a country club party having a wonderful time. At eight o’clock, Sue had already re- filled the salad bowls and was slic- ing more of the succulent ham. “Eyeryone 1s here,” Laura whis- pered excitedly to Cecily and hur- ried on to fill.a cup with coffee for Donald Hemingway. Everyone wasn’t there. Lochin- var hadn’t come. “He’s gone the way he came,” Cecily said, and was angry that she should have felt such keen dis- appointment that her food seemed y and inviting cray- | tasteless to her, her laughter with- out cause. Sleepy-eyed, but with a new ex- ultancy she could not hide, Laura came into the shop early the next | k her for the names of any | morning. HOMERS WIN FOR | REDS AND CARDS YANKS LOSE TO INDIANS: | WHITE AND RED SOX WIN GAMES (Special to The Citizen) NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—Bucky Walters was in top form yester- day as he allowed the Brooklyn: Dodgers just five meager hits for ‘his twenty-fourth win of the sea- son, but it took a _ninth-inning home run by team. member Billy , Myers, driving in one ahead of | him and a single by Buck Mc- Cormick in the tenth . frame to win the game for the Reds. Standings were unchanged in the | senior circuit two-team fight for | leadership, three and games still separating the Cin- cinnati leaders from St. Louis Cards, who won their game from Philadelphia by virtue of a sev- enth-inning home run by Terry Moore.

She plunged into her plans. Deep in them, she forgot all about her good intentions to tell her aunt about Philip Callen. In the excitement of running her shop and planning for her party which was but three days off, she forgot all about it. Also, Philip was “running down to New York’ for a few days. Not, however, with- out promising to return within the fortnight. Olivia and Gloria were motoring over to Murray Bay to visit friends, and the other two girls were returning to Newport. Cecily was left to the freedom of the house and her thoughts. The day before the party, she ran in to see her neighbor, Jane Hollings, at her dress s' and came out with a new frock. It was fashioned of soft dimity s; rigged with small blue flowers. It had a round frilly collar of white lace and organdie and cuffs of the same at the edge of the short puffed sleeves. It was an extravagance thet she could neither afford nor resist. Her other frocks were sports “T hope he asked you for a date,” Cecily replied, her thoughts far off. And a little sad. Everyone was shop and go home. A routine. The color of Cecily’s sky had changed from blue to gray. And all because a shabby stranger had come and gone away again. But he hadn’t gone away. Cecily saw him on Saturday. She had:gone to the blacksmith shop at the far end of the village to have a bent fire-tong repaired. She came out of the shop and saw a familiar combination. A shabby wagon and a motheaten white horse, the latter placidly chewing the grass beside the road. She knew Lem Soderson’s old Bess and, when she remembered, kept a lump of sugar in her smock pocket for the aged beast. “Hello Bess,” she said cheerily and patted the nuzzling nose searching vainly for si 3 And suddenly there he was.
