CHAPTER FORTY-THREE Beth was in the linen closet, pen in hand, checking laundry, i when one of tne girls came up stairs and hailed her. There’s a man downstairs tc see you, Miss Kinnan.” “To see me? ' Beth looked at her watrh. It was almost 11. “Did he say who he is?” No, but if 1 were you, I’d put a little lipstick on. He’s quite handsome and he has a bunch oi flowers in hand.” At this houi ? There must be a mistake, Beth said. Neverthe less, she stepped to put on powder and lipstick before whe went' intc the living room. She didn't know him at first. He looked older, better dressed, more important than she remem bered him. She put out both her hands. “Vernon Blake.” “Hello, Beth. This is no hour to come calling, out my train didn’t get in until ten. I would have writ ten, but . . but I wanted to sur prise you ” ‘You have, and very pleasantly. Let me look at you.” She stood off and regaroed him appraisingly. “You lock very Washingtonian.” “Maybe it's because I have a hat—and gioves.” He grinned. “No, it's something else. A year has made a great difference, my friend. Not that I didn’t like you before.” She remembered that last night she had seen iiim. When he told lrer he was going back to California, and that he would wait for her. He would always be wait ing for her. ''T'VP h.PPl-i Hmr^cr nvotttr tjroll + I at the plant. Promotions move fast. I'm here on company busi ness.” “And to see me? 1 she asked with rare coyness. Perhaps it was that coyness that put him off balance for a moment. He cleared his throat. “There have been a lot of changes, haven't there?" “Lots, ’ she said “Lots since our correspondence dropped off I suppose Marion wrote you that Andrea has an adorable daugh ter?" Vernon said Manor had writ ten him all the news. He said her iiouse was meal. He was delighted she'd turneo ini.o such a success ful business woman. He said she looked great. He said Washington was great. “Now teli me your news, Ver non.” “You know most of it,” he said, looking uncomfortable., “Save th; rest of it for a mo ment. I want to put my flowers in water. It was sweet of you to bring them.” A year before Jim had brought great yellow chrysan themums “Sort . . . sort of a peace offer ing.” he mumbled. Beth laughed at him from the doorway. “You don t need to bring me peace offerings, Vernon. I’ll be back in a moment. Would you like some sandwiches and something to drink?” “Don’t bother,” he said, “I won’t be staying long. . . . I’ve got to get back to the hotel.’ “Y'ou don’t tiave to hurry just because it's late, ’ she said when she came bark with the flowers in a big bronze kettle. She put them on a low coffee table. “Aren’t they lovely? Now, let’s settle down and have a long talk. Unless you have to get to an early conference tomorrow ” “Uh . . look, Beth, I ... I’m sort of cobining things on this trip.” For one moment Beth won dered if he were going to say he was combining business with a proposal “What things?" she was just ! tired enough, just glad enough to ! see him to wish he’d say she could marry him while he was there, or not at all. Vernon studied the toe of his shoe. “I ... 1 suppose I should have given you some . . . uh . . . prepared you sort of. Elsie and I . . . Beth, we got married at Pasader.a Tuesday.” “Married? . . But that’s won derful, Vernon!” Beth was both relieved and slightly nonplussed. After all, she had her share of vanity and it is always a shock to hear one’s most faithful beau has found, another dream girl. “So you’re here on a honeymoon. I’d like to meet her.” For the first time since he’d ar rived, Verncn looked at ease. “That’s great, Beth. She wants to meet you, too. I’ve told her all about you How about lunch to morrow? What say we make it that place you like . . with the French name? Do it up brown.” Beth smiled. “The Salle du Bois? I don’t think it’s open for lunch, Vernon, but if you want to be gay, the Ambassador’s nice, but expensive.” “I gu?ss I can afford it, when I’m taking out my two best girls.” Rolling the enc-s of her soft blond hair cn curlers a little later, Beth reflected on her fate. She \yas everybody s second-best girl. First Jim's, now Vernon’s, and Dennis— With a glow of anticipation she realized that the next day was Wednesday the day of her stand ing date with him. They vent, as they usually did, to the Salle du Bois, and Beth said, “An old beau of mine want ed to bring me here to lunch to -j_ »* Dennis glared. “I almost married him, Dennis, but fortunaiely a better girl got him. A sweet, plump, adoring lit tle girl who will make him a good wife. I didn’t expect I’d like her, but I did. It was such a surprise.” “A good wife is to be priaed above rubies,” he observed. Beth thought, “You should have a good wife.” “Beth, I have something I want to tell you. It's a long story, not an easy one to te'i—even though it is easier to tell you things than any one I've known.” “Ever?” “E’ver, my dear. It’s about Bea trice, my wife, and me.’ The cigaret in Beth’s hand wav ered. Sr.e put it dovm and folded her hands in ner lap, fixing her eyes attentively on his face. “We were married a long time ago. We liked each other. We still do, although we haven’t often seen eye to eye. I was 22, Beatrice a little older I think I’ve told you something of my background, about oid John Higganum.’’ “Yes," Beth said. “He was Bea . . . Mrs Archer’s father.” Dennis nodded. “A great old boy. A father to me. He did as much for me as if I’d been his own son. When he died, it was his wish that i carry on the mills and take care of Beatrice. Beatrice thought it was a good idea, as 1 did, for us to marry.” He didn’t tell Beth that Beatrice wanted to mar ry him wheft she found she couldn’t marry the man she wanted. And so we did. Things v ent badly at the milis until reorganized. I’ve told you how we changed the name of the mills. But doing that didn’t cnange the fact that Bea trice always Und the controlling interest in them.” He paused and lighted a cigaret before going on. “Our ways parted a few years after we #ere married. They’ve been parted ever since I don’t like to say this, but 1 wart you to know the whole story. I wanted a di vorce. I wanted to marry again and have children. Beatrice pre ferred to remain as we were. A divorce, three years ago”—Beth calculated that was the time when Andrea had come into his life— “was out of the question. Bea trice's .terms were to sell the busi ness. I couldn’t throv. my men out of work, as they would have been at that time. Now the picture is different. I have bought out Bea trice. She has found someone els? she wants tc marry She’s in Reno now. Does that mean anything to you, Beth?’ Beth conuldn’t be sure what it meant, but she nodded, and smiled wanly. ‘It means you have a chance for real happiness now.” “Does it?” he asked, looking straight into her eyes. (To Be Continued) .. .. 17 GOEBBELS URGES DEFIANCE POLICY Predicts Allied Invasion Will Take ‘High Toll In Blood' LONDON, Dec. 15—9R—Germa ny’s vitriolic propaganda minister, Paul Joseph Goebbels, has ex horted his propaganda chiefs to a policy of defiance for 1944, de claring the Allies have “no other way out but to seek a decision by making a desperate attempt at invading the continent.” The Berlin radio said that in issuing his orders for next year Goebbels predicted yesterday any such invasion attempt would cost the Allies "a high toll in blood,” and he said that there is no doubt of the outcome “after Dunkerque and Dieppe.” He indirectly admitted the Al lied air offensive was hurting the Reich, complaining of the “brutal ferocity” of “the enemy’s air ter ror.” But, he declared, “once final victory is won, the suffering and need whic hthe enemy has caused u* soon will be overcome. There remain for future history only the way in which we defend our free dom. In these weeks and months we will write a glorious chapter of our history.” Miss Ruth Newton Will Direct USO Unit Here Miss Ruth Newton, director of the USO Travelers Aid in Fayette ville, will arrive Friday to serve as acting director of the Wilming ton USO Travelers Aid until Janu ary 1. when Miss Emerson, of New York, will arrive to assume responsibilities as director-.
