And as for ig parties on big yachts, you'll be on them lots from nex on, sweet!” was his reply as he hur- Tied away. “I'll be here to get you, and will you knock ‘em cold when I bring you in!” Early next afternoon a mes- senger arrived with a package for Pam. She found when she opened } it a corsage of velvety French marigolds, fresh in their bed ‘of ice. They had come in on the noon plane and there was a card with them signed “Jerry.” Pam smiled as she read the written words: To match your eyes. Jerry had said that to her once, | that her eyes were like French marigolds. It was sweet, a thing to take to her heart and keep} there. Jerry had so many lovely qualities, Pam thought, if only he'd do something worth while| instead of just loafing. Anything, thought Pam, She would wear the flowers} against the soft green organdie o: her dress. Later a box was deliv. ered with Leo’s card. Marechal-/ Neil rosebuds. Two Lovers JERRY'S eyes lighted as he looked up the long flight of Stairs as he waited in the hall and saw Pam coming toward him. “Didn't I tell you that first day on the beach that we were going to be friends?” he asked as he tucked her into his car and then posed a@ moment to leave a light on the palm of her hand. Riding. through the streets of the village under the star-swept blue of the Florida sky, Pam went back mentally to that day on the beach when she had first seen Jerry and his dog. Blaze was even then on the back of the seat behind them, her soft black nose almost touching Pam’s neck. Pam began to caress the animal’s head. Jerry grinned. “I wonder,” he h as L would?” “Much more, I'm sure,” Pam laughed. She was in a gay mood. ee knew that she looked ri the occasion. Jerry’s ey3s: told her that. So nothing that | uj could happen would shake her confidence. She would laugh at Lenore’s outbursts of temper and in one way or another give back as good as she got. “Heartless creature!” Jerry ex- i t pride in her echoes 2p as Pam waited for is car into the e. He had let Pam se the gravel of the lot would do her slipper heels no good. Leo stopped, got out and stood be: her a moment. Pam wondered if his eyes were a little hurt as he looked down at her. “You would give me the icy mitten!” he s with every in- tention of speaking lightly, but there was a pained undertone in the words. Invojuntarily Pam’s hand went his. Leo had so long been a cound count on. “You don’t mind, Leo? I didn’t think it mattered who brought me.

What mere do you want?” » “So many things, Jerry, [couldn't begin to tell you.” Pam’s voice was suddenly serious. ‘She didn't add aloud that she was not even sure what she did want. One thing she knew with deep, un- wavering conviction. She wanted Jerry to have some more impor- tant purpose in life than merely having a good time. “I'm jealous that you're wear- ing his flowers,” she heard Jerry | say. | “But I'm carrying yours, Jerry, and I'll wear them later.” Mrs. Winthrope, standing at the gangplank waiting for the rest of | her party to come from the car, | smiled warmly at Pam. “I hoped |you'd come, my Tm so Poon a ke - "he bb i had spoken ee. It hadn’t been only Jerry who had thought of her when the guest list | was made. That was pleasant to The yacht was a blaze of light. | There was the sound of clinking ice in glasses, of light laughter eiched against a background of soft music. There were flowers scenting the air. It seemed to Pam that she must be dreaming. Pam noticed Lenore was most often standing at the bar where uba Libres and rum highballs | were being handed out with lav- ish generosity. Jerry took Pam to the bar. “Drop a conch shell in it, so she’ll feel at home,” Lenore said as she watched the bartender mixing fheir drinks. Pam had asked for plain orangeade. “Pipe down, Lenore,” Jerry | warned in a low voice. “It seems to me you're the one to pipe down!” Lenore ex- | claimed. “Bringing Miss Conch to the party!” “You'd do well to watch your own step,” Jerry snapped. “You'll | have shelis growing out of your own shoulders, if you aren’t care- ful!

With Gervase in New York, she did the same things day after day—cocktail parties, to dinner, to a night club, to a breakfast place, and then home to bed in a dawn she was too weary and bored to appre- ciate. Something about Gervase an- ed her suddenly. She realized that Leo Shore was speaking, and turned swiftly to him. She had been playing to him, as she did ito every good-looking man she met. Leo was laughing at her a | little. | “I'm Conch, Lenore,” he was | saying. “And proud of it. It im- plies roots in this island. That's } something! Come on, let’s dance!” | Pam watched them dance away. Lenore’s sultry good looks were pointed up anc emphasized by Leo’s blondness. Then Jerry took | Pam to the little dance floor. Leo jcut in on them. Then Edmund Antoine, handing the baton to one jot his boys, claimed her. ‘To be continued £ Today’s Horoscope Tiday brings literary or artis- tic tastes, but they develop in a very quiet maanner.
