MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, Meet Mr. Marie YESTERDAY: Locke invites Cecily to 4 picnic supper on the beach, next Sunday. Stil! puzzled about him, but excited, she ac- cepts. ‘ Chapter 16 Preparations ILY didn't want to think of} jn, the problem of Philip. She wanted to think of Locke. She was’ going to see him on Sunday! The room felt hot, stuffy to her. She didn’t want to make the ef- fort necessary to talk to them. She didn't want to play bridge. She wanted to be alone. She had another problem. She had accepted Locke’s invitation to 2 hike on Sunday. But now that she had aceepted it, she hadn’t the Jeast idea of how she was going to manage. She couldn’t very well say, “By the way, I have a date on Sunday with @ nice young man. I'll be gone most of the afternoon and eve- Ting.” Qh, no, you can’t do that when you're supposed to be engaged to another man who is a house-guest. You could, of course, tell a lie. Say that you had to do somethin; for Laura. But you couldn't do it i age were Cecily Stuart. You might e able to tell one very white little lie about being engaged to some- one you didn't know. But that didn't mean that you were a habit- ual lier. Nevertheless, you meant to keep that Sunday date. If only you could think of a way— “Cecily, have you heard about the dinner - party?” Helene Fer- nandez broke in on Cecily’s thoughts. “No, what dinner-party?” “We're all invited to Mrs. Brew- ster’s who is giving it a week from Thursday. Manue! and | were cee. to return to New York fore then but Olivia insists that we stay.” But I thought Mrs. Brewster never gives parties!” Olivia said, “Only for state occa- sions, Cecily. This will be one and I think Helene ought to stay to see it. Not even in Newport is a sum- mer dinner arranged with such grandeur. There will be at least nm courses and the gold plate ice.” Vhat is the occasion?” Sir Hubert and Lady Rathbone are to be her house guests and she is dining them on that occasion We will be six from Darelea. He- Jene and Manuel, Philip and your- self, Armando” — Armahdo was Olivia's accompanist—“and my- self.” Helene sighed. “Dress. | sup- bese?” Yes, indeed As formally as your wardrobe permits.” “Will Philip still be here?” Ce- eily inquired sw-etly. And point- ediy “Uf course, he will,” Olivia said @t once. Philip. looking trighttully pleased, rose at once and took one of Olivia's hands in his, “Dear laay you know that | want to stay but I fee! that I've overstayed now. You've been so kind, | find it hard to resist your invitation.” “Don't talk nonsense, Philip. We want vou to stay with us as long as you can. You're an ideal guest. I'd miss you if you were to leave us And so would Cecily. Wouldn't you, dear?” Ce smiled weakly. Didn't_cie man have any de- cency?_ Didn't he have any work todo? no Phen ip was saying, Are vou going away again?” Ceeily’s question vas hopefully put And hot at all in the manner to be expected of a lovelorn girl hose fiancé was about to leave Going Away would have very much d handing him his hat ig goodby forever. f shall surely return.” i8Yes.” Olivia answered for him, "sigot to go to New York, Poor darling, and it’s so dreadfully hot thére. Gloria writes that she «is simply languishing at Southanip: ton.” When are you going?” Cecily asked. trying to hide her eager ne “I'm afraid I'll have to leave on the morning train, my love. I've ‘ot to see my publishers Saturday. re’s some question come up about my new book.” eZ “Saturday? | thought publishing houses were closed on Saturday? “My little goose! Publishers do not have offiee hours when best have business to talk over wit authors.” “Not important authors,” Helene contributed. Cecily had her doubts about Philip's importance but she was content to let it go. ene was go- ing away. It was enough for her that she was to be free over the week-end. There was no longer any need for her to “pee about managing to get away on Sunday. Saturday she scanned the heav- ens anxiously. It was @ cloudless day and at night the stars came out “Please don’t let it rain to- mprrow.” she prayed that night. *Cecily. we're driving to Kenne- 1939 Manuel said to her the next morn- ing. “We're dining with the Ger- hardts at their place. Want to come along?” “No, thank you,” she said quick- Uh “T've some .. . some things to lo today. Is Aunt Olivia going with you?” “Certainly.” “Of course, I am,” Olivia broke n. “I've got to keep up my exer- cise. I’m not going to be one of those heavy-waisted contraltos.” “You're stim as a. girl,” Cecily said affectionately. She wanted to pay everyone compliments. She wanted every- one to feel as completely gay, as filled with a sense of well-being as she was. She wanted to sing and dance. She wanted to work off the gayety of her spirits that had been rising sinee first she opened her eyes that morhing and saw that the sun was high in the heav- ens, She had been up and out of doors before eight, She had walked to the beach and said to the waves, ee is the day I’m going to see ‘im.” She had returned to the house and eaten a great breakfast before the others were up. Now that it was but a little after nine, she felt she could not endure the next five hours. “Meet me at three at the fork of the road,” Locke had said. What do you do for five long hours on Sunday? You pick fresh flowers to fill the bowls in all the rooms. You By, to read Saturday’s newspapers. You pick up your knitting and discover that you can’t count stitches. You dawdle over your lunch and find it has taken only a half-hour. You try to listen to the radio but your mood is not for Sunday afternoon programs. You empty the contents. of your bureau drawers and put them back in order. The One Person TEN suddenly you discover it is two o'clock and you've only got an hour in which to put on your tweed skirt, your bright blue sweater. You tie a kerchief over your tawny hair and see, for the first time, that your face seems pretty to you, Your eyes sparkle and your eheeks are pink. Perhaps that is because you've been bend- ing over to tie the strings on your sturdy boots. But you know that isn’t true. You know it is because you are happy, you anticipate the thing you have been waiting for. And what are you waiting for? You're waiting to see the one person who makes you complete. You're a girl and he’s a man and between you there is the age-old and to-be-forever-new bond 6: quickened liking that makes every other thing in the world seem to stand still. It was Cecily’s first experience. The clock in the big hall was striking the half-hour after two wheh Cecily, with a twin cardigan thrown over her blue sweater, the sleeves knotted, came down the flight of stairs. There was a stout stick in the umbrella rack. She took it out and set off in purposeful strides, The wind in the trees, the mur- mur of the stout grass by the road- side, the crunch of pebbles be- neath her boots fell on her ears with a pleasing newness, There was a new scent—the perfume of wild roses—that added to the min- gled pine and saltwater-filled air. She wrinkled her nose with de- licious enjoyment. Main Street slept drowsily in the | Sunday afternoon calm. Shuttered windows and closed doors faced her benignly. The clatter of horses’ | feet disturbed the calm and faded | away. She met the inevitable two fifteen-year-old girls, arms about each other, strolling aimlessly. She waved her hand to old-Mrs. Jami- | what few er Sunday son, greedily watchin, passers-by enlivened afternoon. Then-she was at the end of Main Street and striking oft toward the road that led to the fork. Loeke was waitin; sat by the roadside, lazily munch- ing on a blade of grass. He looked as though he might have remained there forever, rapt in his contem- plation of the sky, Cecily came up behind him. “Boo! You pretty wild creature! Did you remémber to bring the steak?” He got to his feet at once. “Stout fella!” he said. “Right on | time! I knew you were a girl in a million. Even if your interest seems to be in food rather than in me. There was a knapsack on the grass, which he picked up and slung over his leather - jacketed shoulder. “The steak’s in here,” he said. “And the potatoes?” she per- sisted. “Woman, don’t you ever think of sasthing but food? The potatoes are at by s “You're v 2 and matched her stride to his. The road was a brown and tweed.
