A young man named Pierre Prudhomme ar- rives without writing just as Al- len is giving a party for Tomi, Chapter 12 ‘A Man. For. You? ‘Puen Pierre appeared with Lily. He had discarded his coat and tie, and someone had wrapped his head in a brigand’s scarlet ker- chief. Tomi marveled at the ease with which he had adapted him- self to the group. “Miss Mankin tells me she was rude to you the first time you met, and now she wants to apologize# he said And again Tomi must comply, graciously. “1 wasn’t exactly friendly,” she conceded. Lily smiled and Tomi discovered a most provocative dimple. The ir] was pretty. She wanted to like er. “Weren’t we funny?” she asked, laughing, and Tomi suddenly saw the ridiculous side of their meet- ing. “I had you pictured as a dried- up spinster,” Lily explained, “and here you turned out to be young and pretty. You were an awful disappointment.” Tomi laughed, with her. “Tim- othy was my great-uncle, you know.” And then the crowd descended ‘upon them, “This will never do,” cried a red-head called.Myrtle. “You must have smut on your face before you are branded. as one of the gang. ‘Come on and turn the pork chops.” Tomi. turned pork chops, eyes red with smoke from the open fire- lace, hair tousled from the low- anging cedar boughs. There was smut on her face and grease stains on her new frock, but she was happy. She had never been as happy. The crowd liked her. She could tell by the way they teased her, scolded her, and ordered her around. When they had settled around the pit for lunch, they in- cluded her in their future plans. “We'll have to find a man for you.” decided Myrtle. “She has one!” Bartell spoke with a finality that caused Tomi’s breath to catch. He was looking at her as though he detested her. Surely he didn’t think she knew’ Prudhomme well enough to single him out. “He's one fellow,” Bartell went ‘on, “who is going to:handle her as he needs to be handled. He'll nock-that temper opt of her if he has to use, a belaying pin. And when he’s through with his dis- Ciplining, she’lt sit up and beg.” ‘Tomi ‘looked at Bartell’ and hated him anew. There he sat, sun shining down on him as though it had been made for the sole pur- ose of bringing out the highlights in his hair. the bronze of his skin. the fiendish glints in his eyes, and to illuminate that slow, lazy smile. Then she looked, at Prudhomme and was surprised at what she saw. There was nothing imper- sonal in that glance. It was grave. serious, considering The crowd waited. Tomi ele- vated a bun with a pork chop pro- truding at a rakish angle. “If this fellow has a sister. see if she'll take you in hand.” she suggested. While the group hooted at Bar- tell, Tom: enjoyed her sandwich, sand, cinders and cedar needles. Nothing had ever tasted as deli cious “My dear,” Myrtle swooped down on her, “you're going danc- ing with us tonight. You're too good to lose, Imagine any girl holding her own with Allen! Pierre, you can be my man for the evening, and I'll lend Jack to Tomi.” Pierre sprang to his feet, and hurried to Tomi. “But, if Miss To- land will be so kind—” Tomi flashed him a look of grati- tude and turned to Myrtle. “That's sweet of you, dear, but I’m so poor at returning anything | borrow.” And on this high note of laugh- ter Tomi returned. to the farm, ‘Stern Parent’ BE liked Prudhomme. He was as cnthusiastic as his lack of ‘teeth. would allow. “I tell you, Miss Tomi, I wouldn’t put it past him to grow us a five-legged frog.” “Quints or nothing,” agreed Tomi, and fled upstairs. What should she wear? Tomi tried on each: frock she had pur- chased, while Abe waited at the foot of the stairs to pass judgment. She was wearing pink tulle over American beauty taffeta’ when Allen appears “You look like the pink stuff they sell at the circus,” he said. ‘omi stiffened. “Oh, I didn’t mean lemonade,” he corrected. “I meant the stuff that looks like spun sugar.

Who is this Prud- homme person?” i Tomi’s cheeks were as pink as her frock. “And may I ask if you've suddenly assumed the role of the stern parent?” Bartell sank into a , his frame folding li jack- “Someone should,” he ombieg. “Personally, I don’t be- e he’s the old friend he says he is, or he’d call you Tomi, in- stead of Mees Toland,” he mim- “T had an accent like that until it of rain bee 2 ig Greta a ” Fomi fashed.

He wouldn’t have let me in on that if he couldn’t stand having his past record checked. But—” he looked at Tomi. with a boyish grin—“to break down and admit the truth, V’d planned on taking you cfs gf Tomi didn’t understand the sud- den rage which shook her. “Your new car wil] carry three, won’t it?” she asked. “And without mussing either Lily’s.or my. frock.” Bartell: stood up abruptly. “I’ve been waiting for that, and I bee lieve I will ask Lily. She doesn’t scratch when you try to be nice to her.” He was gone suddenly, the door banging behind him. Tomi’s door also banged as she went in to don a house dress, preparatory to fixe ing Abe’s dinner. Tomi dressed for the dance with unusual care. She reveled in don- ning clothes without the feminine members of the Toland family sit- ting around, criticizing every move. She also missed their caus- tic remarks; wondered why they. didn’t write and if they were never going to. z Slipping. into a pale yellow frock, its only claim to distinction being its lines and the flat white jonquils appliqued to the shoulder and cascading down the full skirt, she thought it a bit ridiculous to take such care, After all, she was dining and dancing with _a man she expected to hire. Wouldn’t Great-aunt Hannah throw. a fit at such democracy in a Toland? Angry, Heart H® prospective employee called in a cab at the appoint- ed hour. He looked distinguished in his dinner clothes. “You have a French woman’s flair for the right ensemble,” he complimented, : The Alameda, where the dinner dance was to be held, was the an; tithesis of the hotels Tomi. had known. It was a low, Spanish stru¢ture, rambling in a half moon about a velvet lawn studded with palms and magnolias. Inside, it was built about a glassed patio where a fountain and pool ridi- culed. the idea, of, its being.a come mevcial institution, + Most of the crowd had gathéred, but Tomi was there in time to see Lily’s triumphant arrival. She clung to Allen’s arm “as though she were afraid someone would snatch him from under,” scoffed Tomi. They dined, and they danced Pierre—-she might as well call him that; everyone else seemed to-- danced perfectly. She felt she could dance with him forever, give herself up to the joy of rhythm and music. She danced: with others, then, somehow, found Bartell pushing them away _ She couldn't criticize his danc- ing, that is his footwork, but there was something wrong. She couldn’t hear the music for the thudding of her angry heart Angry, because she must go the way he directed. And she was con- fusingly aware of his arms, of the lazy, teasing smile he sent down when she dared to look up. Sometimes she was afnaid the | music would never stop. And | sometimes she was afraid it would stop too soon. And then it did, and Bartell, escorting her back to the table, thanked Prudhomme, for the dance. “The—the conceited prig,”. she murmured. Arid, to Pierre’s atten- tive, “I beg your pardon,” .she said: “Mr. Bartell seems so very: sure of himself.” “But, of course,” agreed» Prud- homme, with exaggerated non- chalance. “I am told he is the mdst successful young attorney in this community; specializes in. estates, and in the drawing of wills. That. Miss Toland,” he sent her a quizzi- cal glance, “should make you feel very secure.” It made her feel very insecure. Tomi’s worries descended in a cloud, cutting her off from the gayety of the party. When Bartell. a protesting Lily clinging to him. paused at their table to say good- night, she was sure he was up to some mischief directed at her. Lily's words confirmed her fear. The little blonde pouted prettily at Prudhomme. “Allen has some silly old business to attend to. so Thave to go home.” Lily had made this a challenge to Prudhomme, but he didn’t ac- cept it. He merely bowed and ex- pressed his sympathy. _ Tomi found the party increas- ly. drab. i had taken cold.
