He tight- ened the arms that were about Luella. “Don’t you ever let me go,” he said huskily. “Don’t ever let me getaway from you.” “I won't,” said Luella fiercely. “I won't.” Henry was hers, and no one was remembered | ever going to take him away from . her, Never—never—never. ... Dinner For Four he days following the broad- | Gast seemed to move on swift wings, so far as Henry Pell was concerned: but n for Luella. Now that the apartment was all settled, and there was nothing ur- gent ta occupy her time, she ex- perienced many a lonely, home- sick hour. She visited museums and art galleries, and attended an occasional matinee, but always alone. Sometimes she was so des- perate for company that she was tempted to walk up to total stran- gers and invite them to go places with her. ‘ “Those wives of your business associates certainly aren’t in a hurry to call on me,” Go pen hy lenry one evening. “Honestly, entry, Thaven’t visited with any- lenry shortly, “All| ™ she had insisted useg af all the cooking sai ie ook St colored ing. ‘Lawsy, "| ” .

It was Marie calling. Important Man “P)ARLING,” she said, “do for- ~ give me for calling you like this. I know you must te busy preparing dinner, but—” “For goodness’ sake. Marie, don’t tell me you're not coming!” Luella cut in. “Of course I’m coming,” said Marie. “Well, that's a relief! Dinner’s all foo. “I had to meet a very important radio man for cocktails,” Marie went on. “We're down in a hotel lounge. And what I’m calling for is to ask if I may invite him up, for after dinner, you know. I thin! Henry should meet him by all Hoans. He's nice, too. ‘You'll like “Invite him up, of course,” said Luella. “I’m sorry it’s too late to ask him for dinner.” “That's all right. He’s got an engagement. Will nine-thirty be all right?” “Yes.

Remem- | ber, he’s important and we're do- ing it all for Henry.” “Yes, I'll remember,” And as she turned from the |telephone a moment later Luella felt annoyed. That “we” sort of rankled. “All right, Henry,” she called, “the bathroom’s yours!” Henry hurried past her. “That was Marie who tele- phoned,” Luella said. “She’s bring- }ing up a Mr. Rector. He’s. impor- tant or something.” “Not Malcolm Rector?” Henry aid. “Yes, I think she did say his first name was Malcolm.” “Say, this is a break!
