W.M.F.D. 12:15 to 12:31 CHAPTER ONE MISS MARTHA WESTON look ed up from stuffing gray wool into her knitting bag. “Well?” she said. “Well, what?” Dian Wes ton asked, turning away Trom the window. ‘Why don’t you say something?” “What is there to say, Aunt Martha?” “Didn’t you hear me tell you that it was bad enough to have one spinister in the family, with out having two of them, and one of them jilted?” “Yes, Aunt Martha, I heard you” Dian shrugged. “But what is there for me to say? You’ve said about all there is to be said about the matter.” “No, there’s one more thing — Jerome Carr.” “I see. . . .So we’re back at that again.” Dian went back to staring out of the window. “I sim ply can’t marry Jerome,” she said. “But he’s the most successful man in Ardendale,” said Miss Martha. "He’s been in love with you for years, and—” "Nonsense!” Dian cut in. “How could Jerome be in love with any one, that is, REALLY—when he’s got*a dollar mark where his heart ought to be?” She walked to a table, found a cigaret and lit it. “I know he’s a banker and all that, and that the Weston family cer tainly could do with a banker but—” “But what?” said Miss Martha, impatiently. “Go on!” “But why don’t you marry him?” said Dian. “Frankly, I’‘d much prefer a banker-uncle to a banker-husband.” “Well, I never in all my life heard such silly talk!” Miss Mar tha exclaimed. “It’s not silly,” Dian said. “Je rome Carr’s always liked you, and I think if you stopped trying to push me down his throat, he’d take time to see that you’re the Weston female he wants, and not me.” Miss Martha closed her knitting bag with an angry gesture. She picked it up, looked to see if her hat was on straight and walked to the door. i( ‘‘Sometimes, Dian,’\ she said, “you are the most exasperating person alive. You should marry Jerome just to show the town you. don’t care a darn about being jilted.” Aunt Martha, I wish you’d stop using that word ‘jilted’ so freely,” Dian said with a wry smile. “It sounds so sort of final and unpleas ant.” It is final — and unpleasant,” said Miss Martha. “But now that called from the front porch. “Don’t wait up for me.” Then, when she saw Dian appear in th'fe doorway, she said: “Why don’t you ask Jerome to take you to a movie?” “What a marvelous suggestion!” Dian said mockingly. “Perhaps I will!” “I’d certainly like to see you do something sensible for once!” was Miss Martha’s parting shot. Dian watched her climb into Miss Aggie’s sedan and drive off. Then she sank down upon the up per step, and stared straight be fore her. It was a perfect night you have been jilted, and that up start Fred Mayhew is out of the way, you ought to give Jerome Carr some encouragement. You know perfectly well he would have tried to see a lot more of you if Fred hadn’t been hanging around all the time.” “I hardly think marrying Jerome because of Fred is going to help matters any,” Dian said quietly. “Why not, pray?” “I’d make Jerome miserable—I don’t love him. He talks dollars sleeps percentages, and eats divi dends.” “I SEE. And yet you’d be perfect, ly willing for me to marry him.” "Yes, I would. The very qualities I dislike about him, you seem to like.” “All I’ve got to say is that all this talk is getting us exactly no where,” said Miss Martha. “I’m awfully glad you realize that at last, Aunt Martha,” said Dian. “Now, trot along to your ‘All Out Aid to Britain’ knitting orgy—and leave me to handle my own life.” “Just how are you going to han dle it, if I may ask?” Miss Martha asked. “Being a spinister in Arden dale is no fun. And I am speaking from experience.” “Oh, I’ll open a tearoom, may. be,” said Dian, trying to sound carefree. “Or I may go out to the farm—and raise chickens or mushrooms, or something like that Or I may devote my life to good works.” “Humph!” said Miss Martha. “That’s what I’ve been trying to do for years and where has it got me?” “On lots of committees,” Dian smiled. “Why, honestly, Aunt Martha, half the clubs and so cieties in Ardendale would die of stagnation if it weren’t for you!” “It’s no use—flattery isn’t going to help,” said Miss Martha. “The fact remains that Fred Mayhew jilted you—after all the years you and he have talked of marrying. And I’ll probably have to rack my brain for explanations, since prac tically every woman I know will be curious, and—” “Well, let them be curious,” Dian flared. “What has happened between Fred and me is none of their business.” They 11 make it their business” Miss Martha retorted. “You know that as well as P do.” Before Dian could reply to this, there was the sound of an automo bile horn honking out in front of the house. “There’s Aggie Powers now!” said Dian, relieved. “Hurry, or you 11 be late for the meeting.” She patted her aunt’s shoulder, gave her a quick kiss. “Sorry you wouldn't let me drive you to the meeting myself.” “Why should I?” said Miss Mar tha. “Aggie’s going anyway, and there’s no need using up our gas if we don’t have to . . .” Dian laughed. “You sound just .ike Jerome.” she said. Miss Martha tried to think of something to say, and couldn’t. She marched out of the room,head up, thin shoulders back, looking, Dian thought, as though she had substituted a broomstick for her backbone. “Will you be very late?” Dian called out after her. “I don't know” Miss Martha DAILY CROSSWORD 6-12 Yesterday’s Answer 45.

The air was filled jvith the perfume of honeysuckle, :he moonlight bathed the world in silver, and down back of the house somewhere, in a cabin where slaves once lived, a Negro was strumming a banjo and singing a iove song. But it was all lost on Dian. She wasn’t in the least in terested in the scents, sights and sounds that made the night one Eor romantic goings-on and excit ng adventures. So far as she was concerned, romance was a wash out, an adventure some.hing man rfactured by book publishers and Hollywood directors. • ; “Darling Dian, we’ll be married lust as soon as I get established.” Fred Mayhew’s own words, spoken inder romantic circumstances. And she had believed them, trust ,ng, sentimental little fool that she ,vas! And now those other words n the local paper, telling of Fred’s mgagement to Miss Marie Van IVert of New York. "The romance aegan on shipboard, as Mr. May tew was returning from South America where he had gone on a ousiness trip.” No fiance! No noth, ng! Oh, well, Dian, be modern—be lonchalant. “I’ve just been jilted! Isn’t it a perfect scream?” That’s .t! Good girl! Laugh. You know, augh though your heart be break ng, like the clown in the circus.
