She turned to Tommy. “Oh, Tommy, darling, I'm sor- rm 1” she said, catching his hand. ella, Henry, this is Tommy.” She laughed. “Formally speaking, Mr. and Mrs, Pell, this is Mr aearatre. if “Hello, Luella! Howdy, Henry!” 'y: forgot your said Tommy. *Howdy,' yourself,” said Hi 5 Then, grinnin gas ing, he looked at Lu- ella, and. said, “Say, ‘howdy’ to Tommy, honey.” “Howdy, Tommy!” said Luella. Marie let her lovely eyes Move over the three people gathered about her, “This is one of the happiest moments of my life,” she said. My three dearest and best friends all here with me at one time! Now, let’s get the elevator for the Rainbow Room. We're going to celebrate.” Tommy took Luella’s arm, and Henry took Marie’s, as they en- tered a car that shot them up to- ward the stars. Sixty-five floors above the side- walks of Manhattan, Marie de- manded a table near the dance floor— and got it, “Yes, Miss Mason,” said the dignified man who met them. “Yes, Miss Mason. Right this Way.” When they were seated, Tom- my looked at Marie and smiled. “Just like that!” he said. “And she gets what she wants.” “Like rubbing Aladdin’s lamp,” said Luella, Marie shrugged. “In New York, my dears,” she said, “one has to be demanding—or one gets lost under foot.” “Champagne cocktails for all of us,” Tommy said then. “My treat—for old home week.” He turned to Luella. “Oh,” he said, “maybe yg prefer something else, Luella. Marie always takes champagne cocktails, and so—” “I've never tasted one.” said Luella, “but I’m dying to.” “Then champagne cocktails it shall be!" The waiter went away. General conversation began. Luella could feel Tommy Mc- Intyre’s gaze upon her now and then. He had a sort of puzzled, sur- prised look. “Probably expected to see a dumpy little country gal.” she thought. She smiled to her- self, rather liking the taste of the champagne, a beverage she had seen only in the movies. “And so you really liked me?” Marie was saying to Henry “You were swell, Marie.” said Henry—and Luella. hearing, had the feeling that she had heard Henry say those words at least a dozen times, “And while I watched you and listened. I kept remembering how you looked be- side the river on the night when you told me you wanted a career more than anvthing else in the whole world, Remember?” ‘ “Do I?” said Marie. “Of course do.” Looking Back S IF she hadn’t been remem- bering every moment of that night from the first glimpse she had got of Henry wail for her there och New York's ‘all walldin .

She had rather dreaded meet- ing her two old friends in so pub- lie a place, not that she expected them to be boobs with hayseed in their hair, but fearful lest they be —well—not just quite right; small-townish, maybe small - townish trying to look sophisti- cated. But it hadn’t been that way at all.

She hoped so. For she had a pretty definite idea that she was going to need friends—good, solid ones. Henry, coming in daily contact with important people down at his office, was steadily widening his circle of friends and acquaint- ances. But not so easy, staying alone in the apartment. And al- though oy had referred to the wives of his business associ- ates as women whom she would meet, be entertained by, and en- tertain, none of them had so far bothered to look her up. ‘Yes, she was going to need friends, and Tommy was a. fine beginning. gp so silent, Luella?” Tom- my asked. “I've always thought that EP gs Southern girls never lacked for eb ae | to say, that you always had a line.” “Just another false ort about @s,” Luella repiied. “Like the one about Southerners bein; lazy."
