t. : ' ! ,un,| a eigarct and lit it.
“I K r he’s a hanker and all that,
auii "if the Weston family cer

bu'

irr! a tl.-r' ly. "1,0 on!”
"B. a t you marry him?”

I never in all my life
to 1 iA . h silly talk!” Miss Mar
tha . . . .mol.
"If.- ii it silly,” Dian said. “Je
rome firr's always liked you, and
I think if y< 11 -stopped trying to
5 n. '1 me down his tb.roat, he'd take
tine to s e that you're the Weston
female he vents, and not me.”
Miss Martina, closed her knitting
bag with an angry gesture. She
pudij-'d it up, looked to see- if her
hat was on straight, and walked
to the door.
"Somedimes, Dian,” she said,
“you are the most exasperating
pmson alive. You should marry
Jerome just 10 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
you have been jilted, and that up
start Fred Mayhew is out of the
'■ay, you ought to give Jerome
Fair some encouragement. You
know perfectly well ho 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 i.s going to help
matters any,” Dian said quietly.
"Why not, pray?”
"I d make Jerome miserable—I
c .t: t love him. Ho talks dollars,
sleeps percentages, and eats divi
dends."
"I see. And yet you’d be perfectly
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
tliis 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 Jife.”
“Just how are you going to han
dle it, if I may ask'.'' Miss Martha
asked. “Being a spinster in Arden
dale is no fun. An-; I am speaking
from experience.”
“Oh, 1 11 open a tearoom, maybe,"
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 societies
in Ardendale would die of stagna
tion 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, lot them be curious,” Dian
flared. “What has happened be
tween Fred and me is none of their
business.”
“They'll make it their business,”
Miss Martha retorted. “You know
that as well as I 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 Towers now!"
said Dian, relieved. “Hurry, or
you’ll he 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
like Jerome,” she said.
Miss Martha tried to think of
something to say, and couldn't. She
j inarched out of the room, head up,
I thin shoulders back, looking, Dian
thought, as though she had suhstl
tuted a broomstick for her back
bone.
“Will you be very late?” Plan
called out after her.
“I don’t know,” Miss Martha
called from the front porch. “Don't
wait up for me.” Then when she
saw Dian appear in the 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 upper step,
and stared straight before her. It
was a perfect night for romance.
The air was filled with the perfume
of honeysuckle, the 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 love song. But it was
all lost on Dian. She wasn’t in the
least interested in the - scents, (
sights and sounds that made the
night one for romantic goings-on
and exciting adventures. So far as
she was concerned, romance was a
washout, an adventure something
manufactured by book publishers
and Hollywood directors.
“Darling Dian, we’ll be married
just as soon as I get established.”
Fred Mayhew’s own words, spoken
under romantic circumstances.
And she had believed them, trust
ing, sentimental little fool that she
was! And now those other words
in the local paper, telling of Fred’s
engagement to Miss Marie Van
Wert of New York. ‘The romance
began on shipboard, as Mr. May
heiv was returning from South
America where lie had gone on a
business trip.” No fiance! No noth
ing! Oh, well, Dian, be modern—be
nonchalant. “I’ve just been jilted!
Isn't it a perfect scream?” That’s
it! Good girl! Laugh. You know,
laugh though your heart be break
ing, like the clown in the circus.
Or was it the opera ?
