WEDNESDAY, SEPTEN BER 27, 1989 Meet Mr. By Marie Blizar _ YESTERDAY; Locke sees Ce~ cily at thé movies and drops in at the shop the next day to tell her s0. He is greatly perturbed when Cecily explains the innocent lie about her fiancé leading to Phil- ip’s arrival at Darelea. Later, Cecily prepares for Mrs, Brew- ster’s formal dinner. Chapter 24 Dinner Party T= marigolds, The orange mari- golds that she had intended to thrust into the sash of her frock. The frock was so plain, she really needed them. And she had for- gotten them. Cecily looked at her wristwatch, dying on the dresser. It was almost seven. The others would be al- ready dressed and in the drawing- room. She'd have time to slip down the back stairs and out to the garden by the back joor. She picked up the long skirt of her frock and, still in her soft bath os, stepped cut into the hall. ihe walked along, her head bent, wondering if she should stick to all-orange or if she could add some of the late pink zinnias. “Oh, hello! Fancy seeing you here!” Philip, his face as pink as. the flowers she had been thinking’ of, rounded the corner of the cor- ridor leading from the guest part —or the main house—into the ell where Cecily’s and the servants’ Tooms were. “Nothing so strange about it, Philip. This is where I live.” She ‘wasn't thinking very much about it, except that she was rather in a hurry to get down to the garden and clip her flowers before it was too dark to see what she was cutting. “As a matter of fact, I was look- ing for you,” Philip said. Cecily looked up, surprised. _ “Yes, you're really the domestic little one around here. Are you very good at tying dress ties?” “Not a bit,” she answered blithe- ly. “Besides, yours appears to be quite perfect. You'll have to think of a better excuse than that, I’m afraid.” Cecily’s unintentional shaft struck home. For a brief moment Philip Callen appeared to be more angry than nonplussed. “I'm afraid that you're preju- diced in my favor,” he replied sardonically, recovering quickly. “Are you truly?” Cecily said and made to move on. “I know darned well that you're not well, if you think I'm a bit of all right, ll accept your opin- ion.” He turned and went back the way he had come. Cecily’s thoughts almost imme- diately returned to her task. Before they did, she had a peculiar impression that Philip was very angry with her, not merely an- noyed. When she came into the dtaw- ing-room a half-hour later, she dismissed the thought with a shrug. Philip, impeccable, impres- sive in his tails, was his most urban -room seemed to self. The papel say, “We are all going to a party.” There was an air of expectancy about it. There were the same people there, doing the same things, yet there was an atmos- phere that filled Cecily with a pleasant sense of anticipation. A Sapphire Bauble ERHAPS it’s our clothes, she thought. Her eyes moved ap- preciatively to all of them in turn. Aunt Olivia in frosty maroon crépe. Reminding you instantly of the mezzanine tier of boxes at the Metropolitan. Look at her and you think of delegations of admirers bringing her roses. Brunhilde back-stage. The magnificence of all operatic traditions. A psycho- logical magnificence—with all the new crop going into the movies, mezzo sopranos looking like school-girls who will inherit the seats of today’s mighty? Olivia got up and crossed the room. Cecily giggled, thinking how uickly the action followed her thoughts and how silly it would sound if she were to explain it. She took a cigarette from Manuel’s proffered case. While he held his lighter, first to his own cigarette and then to hers, she ep, Ae He looks ve! distinguished. Philip does, too. Is it just because it is such precise black-and-white or is there some truth to the saying that a man has to be a gentleman to wear his eve- ning clothes with distinction? I don't believe it. I think it is all a matter of getting the right tailor. She had a quick picture of Locke in tails. A picture that would take away. a girl’s breath. Helene Fernandez came into the room, wrapping a voluminous velvet coat over her yellow dress. Ugh! Yellow with that sallow skin. Cecily looked quickly at herself reflected mellowly in the long French windows, made into a mir- ror by the ba ind of night that was swiftly falling. “Are we ready?” Gloria asked, already bored. , Philip was holding Cecily’s coat for her. Olivia organized things. “Helene, you and Tony and Gloria and t will go in the town car. Cecily, you won't mind going in the station wagon with Philip, Armando and Manuel?” “Where's Tony?” Helene de- manded. “She was dressed before I was,’ Lochin in her oooh slieped voice, coming down the wide flight of stairs, Cecily was struggling with her coat. She coudn’t seem to find the sleeve and Philip was of little use. His hands were clumsy. “Sorry to keep you all waiting,” drawing-room, swinging her pale chiffons cleanly as though she were stride. and opened a cigarette box. She lit her own cigarette and blew a ring of smoke into the air. “I was look- | ing for a bauble that I wanted to wear with this frock,” she said. “Well, come along, dear, We ster is.a stickler for punctuality. She said dinner at eight.” Olivia was trying to get her party to- gether. “What kind of a bauble?” Philip said to Tony. “A sapphire bracelet. It doesn’t really matter ... only I was quite sure I had seen it there when I got out my clip this morning.” “You've probably misp?aced it,” Philip consoled. Tony didn’t answer. She swept a deep blue velvet cape over her shoulders. _ It wasn’t easy getting a party of eight off in two cars, Everyone ap- parently wanted to be self-sacri- ficing and ride in the station wagon. Olivia was mildly exas- perated and finally managed things her own way to discover that she had forgotten her evening purse when they were ready to start, eae went back for it. “It can’t be Vickersport!” Cecily murmured to Manuel Fernandez while she stood beside him in front of the hearth in Mrs. Brewster’s drawing-room. Page From The Past ee sipped her dry sherry —no cocktails were served at Mrs. Brewster’s—and played with the fancy that the station wagon had been a magic carpet. It couldn’t be that outside, within calling dis- tance of these high - ceilinged Tooms, there were the familiar simplicities, Calder’s lobster store. Her own small book-shop. Sim- Plicities and informalities. Sine was glad that she had never before seen the inside of this great house. She would never have dared to in- vite the austere Mrs. Brewster to her own party, served her from paper plates, The slender-stemmed glass that she held in her hand ang with the touch of a fingernail. The design of its cutting caught and reflected points of light from the number- less candles that studded the cut- glass sconces on either side of the old-fashioned hearth, the chande- lier that hung from the center of the high ceiling. It was amazing what a brilliant light the candles gave, how theatrically it set off the appointments of the room. Horse- hair and needlepoint. Carved rose- wood and black marble. Snuff boxes and old - fashioned photo- graphs in carved silver frames. There were no ash-trays. At Cecily’s left, the long, narrow windows were shrouded in drawn damask curtains of rich amethyst. Cecily, Gb tose her sherry, thought: If I were to peer through them I should not see Vickersport on a mild September evening, I should see Boston’s Common- wealth Avenue on a crisp wintry night in the Nineties. There would be a hansom cab stopping before the house. I would be fluffing my bustle, touching a nervous finger to my frizzed bang, biting my lips to make them red because the gen- tleman getting out of the cab—the entleman in the silk hat, looking like Richard Harding Davis— would be e. She knit her brows together and looked into the amber liquid in her glass as shé raised it; the picture was wrong—somehow she couldn’t fit Locke into any theatrical pic- tures. It:was Philip who fitted the- atrical réles. She looked around for Philip. She couldn’t see him. She ‘wondered when, if. ever, they were going in to dinner. It seemed an hour since she had been presented to Lady Rathbone, Lord Rathbone, the dusty Misses Smith- ers from Portland. Tony ‘Richardson crossed the room and stood at Cecily’s side. “You're quite sure we were in- vited for dinner?” -she murmured. Cecily smiled wanly, conveying her complete understanding. “I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to find Governor Bradford on my left and Governor Brewster on my right.” Tony’s innocent expression indicated that she was engaged in the most apie conversation as she continued, ““What-did-you think of the ‘powder room’? I can’t wait to get back and look back of things.” Cecily found it hard to keep a straight face. The “powder roa) or ladies’ dressing room was a vel room. Big. Black. Overpowering. Gargantuan furniture, a dresser with a dish of large bone hairpins overtures to modern necessities of make-up. They had been directed to it by an elderly maid-servant. “Ladies’ dressing room on the right. Gentlemen will please leave their things in the bedroom at the end of the hall.” Cecily had wanted to peek into the rooms she passed in that long, narrow hall. Echoes of the past al- ways fascinated her.

The Reds need to win just one more game—éither from St. Louis or Pittsburgh, to cinch the Na- tional league pennant. Brooklyn Dodgers retained their slim grip on third position ahead of Chicago Cubs with a split doubleheader against New York Giants. Dodgers dropped \the first game, 9 to 5—then ral- lied behind Hamlin’s four-hit pitching to take the second game, !which was called in the seventh inning, 3 to 2.
