CHAPTER II Airline stewardess Sally Alliston arrives at La Guar dia field. Dashing First Offi cer Jimmy Kennedy offers to give her a lift to the city, but she says she already has a date. To his discomfiture she walks over to a limousine, and is driven by a chauffeur to the Jethrup mansion, where Jher mother is house keeper. There she meets her mother and Philip Jethrup, who is engaged to a society girl. Philip admits to Sally that he is not happy. 'It was a very nice negligee, dear. Though I must admit that it’s a bit too much on the mod ern side for me.” "Roger will love you in it.” "Sally!” "Mother, stop pretending. You know perfectly well that Roger Is simply crazy about you. He’s trying to get up enough courage to propose.” “I am sure he is not that stu pid, dear. Uncle Roger, as you call him, knows perfectly well that we can never be anything more than good friends.” A little of the buoyancy went out of the girl. “But why not’ Mother, I’ve told you over and over again that you’re sacrificing yourself in vain. -Grandfather Jethrup would never let Philip marry me. Not in a million years.” “The decision will be Philip’s, my dear.

I will not makt matters difficult by giving him £ chauffeur for a father-in-law.” “Mother, did you .ever stop tc think that I might not be in love with Philip?” Mrs. Alliston smiled serenely ‘It isn’t always a question ol ove, Sally, but of intelligence Philip is right for you, therefore you must marry Philip.” And still smiling serenely Mrs. Alliston left to inform the Jethrups that she was now ready 'O have her party begin. • • * It was a good party despite the ittle fact that her mother con rived to throw Sally and Philip ogether whenever an opportun ity presented itself. Never had food been tastier, never had com pany been gayer, and never, nev er had Grandfather Jethrup told so many interesting stories about the “good old days.” Letting herself into the apart ment overlooking Central Park, iater, Sally grudgingly admitted to herself that she really liked the old codger. When she was a child, living with her mother at the Jethrups’, she had always been somewhat afraid of Grand father Jethrup. He had a way of barking at her that especially disturbed her that afternoon he’d overheard Philip • telling her about the house he intended to buy for her some day! But he’d mellowed somewhat since then— or was it simply because she had agreed with him, let him have tiis own way? She shrugged her shoulders, dismissing the whole business as red-headed Helen Stafford came out of the kitchen. Why go into details? Why try to analyze a simple thing like that? She was fond of Grandfather Jethrup and that was that. * * ♦ The bed sagged as Helen add ;d her weight to it “Do you think I ought to make a play for Philip?” “Huh? What happened to your aigh sense of honor?” “In a way, Mother is right. To The Fanners of Alleghany County: f.

What is there ahead but years of working and doing without?” “Mr. Perkins would collapse with horror if he heard you hint ing that Comet Airlines doesn’t pay enough.” “Oh, I don’t mean the salary is too little. I meant doing with out luxuries. I’d like to wear a mink coat and have a chauffeur the way other girls do. And Philip could give me those things, and many more, beside.” “I think you really better go to sleep, Sally.” Helen was gbod humored no longer. “You’ve had a hard day. You’re too tired to wrestle with problems like that.” “What, is this conversation em barrassing you?” Helen hesitated after she had switched off the light. Then sur prisingly, she said, “Yes, Sally, it is. I like to believe that all my friends are decent.” “Silly Helen, I was just talk ing to hear myself talk.” “That’s better.” Restless, Sally rolled over onto her back and stared at the piece of moon visible through the cur tained window in the wall oppo site. Philip. Philip Jethrup. No longer a kid to best at games and such, but an important man, a handsome man, a rich man who was unhappy and liked her. Of course, Grandfather Jethrup would be serious opposition, but her mother was right in one re spect. Ultimately, the decision would be Philip’s to make. A little work on him, a little sym pathy when he required it, a lit tle encouragement, a lew words of flattery—she could do it, do it as easily as snap her lingers. Wasn’t she pretty enough to at tract Jimmy Kennedy? * • • Mike, of course, spotted them the instant they made their ap pearance on the brick terrace of the cafeteria. He sprang up and bowed very deeply, first to Miss Whoops, then to Sally. His eyes lingered on her as he helped them i into seats. “I know, Mike, blue is my best color. But I wouldn’t have worn this dress if I hadn’t been brow beaten into doing so.” “Miss Whoops, the lunch is on me.” “Lunch?” Miss Whoops rose from the table with a twinkle lighting up her face mischievous ly. “But I’ve already eaten, Cap tain White, and I have consid erable shopping to do. Please ex cuse me, Sally, Til see you again.” Before the girl could stop mar veling, the old nurse was tripping briskly away. “Mike, you put her up to it!” He laughed, waving his hand in a gesture of denial. “I did no such thing, Sally. I was surprised when I saw you.” “She thinks we ought to fall in love with one another. You know, I’m slowly but surely getting angry. Mother, and now Miss Whoops. What’s wrong with be ing a bachelor girl?” “Nothing.” He picked up the menu and handed it to her as a parakeet sounded raucously. “I suppose you know, though, that Jimmy intends to do something a’x>ut correcting your present state? He bragged that he was taking you out this evening.” ‘That was Helen. Sometimes people can become a pain in the neck, Mike.” “Including the skipper?” | She studied him and smiled.

It’s also a great stomachic tonicl r “Of course not. You’re one of my favorite people. Quiet, gen tle, considerate, courteous. I’ll pay for my own lunch, though. There’s a limit to courtesy.” “Yet who can tell? Perhaps under this exterior is a man you don’t know. A passionate, brutal man who’s biding his time. May be I’m smart enough to know that you’re not ready for romance— yet. Maybe this big brother busi ness is just a clever act.” “Jimmy should take lessons from you, then. He might do bet ter in the long run.” “I never knew that Jimmy wasn’t doing all right.” “You heard him yesterday," she said with satisfaction. “So he wins this evening.” “Does he?” she asked, all mis chief. “You mean you’re going to turn him down again?” “You bet I am. If there’s any thing I dislike, it’s wolves.” A little declaration which would have surprised Jimmy Kennedy very much had he heard it, because that evening dislike very definitely was not in the kiss she gave him at the door. Promptly at six-thirty, as he had told the proprietor of the Happy Evening Dine and Dance establishment, he and Sally ap peared to claim their table near the dance floor. It was a rather tiny table, which suited him just fine. He took her hand and gave it a squeeze after they’d been seated, all softness now, all suav ity. “I’m sorry, Sally.” Her eyes widened in astonish ment. “Sorry?" “I really had no business kiss ing you like that. I don’t know what got into me. The old urge to conquer, I guess. You made me a little sore yesterday.” “It served you right. You had no business betting Mikfe that you could date me.” “Oh, that?” Jimmy’s gesture was of the perish-the-thought va riety. “I meant your attitude made me sore. After all, I'm not as heartless as you made me out to be. Sure I date girls. Why not? That’s natural. Why snap at me for being, natural?” “Look, folks,” a husky voice said very sharply;, “give me your orders and then have your quar rel.” It was a long meal, and they lingered over it and their final sup of coffee. Jimmy wanted to dance again, but she cut that re quest of his short with a venge ance. Give him another oppor tunity to make her feel like two cents? Oh, no. As a matter of fact, this was going to be one evening he would not. enjoy. She raised her nose superciliously when they went to the theater, speaking very loudly to embar rass him. “What, so far in the rear? Really, Jimmy, do yon always have to he a penny-piimher?” “Huh?" He looked at her startled!. “Oh, never mind.” She sat down with a little gesture of res ignation. “I daresay only Philip) knows how to treat a woman right.’” “Look, darling, did y®u ever get a pop in the nose in public?”' “Disgraceful,” muttered a woman behind them. “I agree with you, madam,” Sally announced. “Treating a nice young wom an like that,” continued the wom an with a look of hearty approval t dasMng Jimmy. “Oisgrace :uii” Jimmy chuckled and Sally was very glad that the house lights dimmed at that point. Then she promptly forgot about Jimmy as The Romantic Blitzkrieg” for whom the show had been named walked out onto the stage. Tall and blonde, with wide, flashing Treen eyes and the most seduc tive figure Sally had ever seen— no wonder the papers were filled with talk of her! Dronda Moore, !he darling of the servicemen of the world, deserved to be the darling of the whole darn uni verse. “Holy cow,” murmured Jim my. “And I’ve been wasting my time with you!” (To Be Continued) By Bob Karp' C5The Middles GEE,SPeeDKOUTOFTME\ SPENCEB/THE) VEAKBOOK". smoothest 4 x mao rr MAN N SCHOOL A FEAMED ANC WHEBE'D f7-'TM GOING TO V'CSet rr?J[ WANG it in My BEDCOOM..

In Memoriani In sad but loving memory of our dear father and grandfather, who passed away two years ago ua may 19, 1944. Today sad memories come to us, Of. one who's gone away. God. called our dear father home Just iwq years ago today. A voice we loved from us is gone, A voice we loved is still A place is vacant in our hearts, That never can be filled. Two years have passed since you went away To he with him on high. The, lonely and sad the road each, day. We’ll meet you by and by. Our hearts still ache with sorrow, As our eyes dim with tears. Only God knows how we miss you. In. the passing of the years. The time passes slowly, As our hearts long for you. They say time heals a broken heart, But that is so untrue.. We miss your footsteps, your lov ing smile Your cheerful voice and grace. We miss you, Dad, but after while, We’ll meet you face to face. We are so lonesome for you, dear Dad, Our hearts are crushed with. pain. The pleasures we've had together, Can never come again. The tender flower we loved so much, God transplanted in his garden above, To blossom inside the Eastern gate, In the sunlight of his love. For everyone you had a smile, A heart as pure as gold, For those who knew and loved you, Your memory will never grow old.
