rapidity. He was like a schoolboy
in his eagerness over this girl. Ut
terly different to the New York
type of his particular ""set," her
freshness of viewpoint and her un
sullied charm opened a new per
spective to him, '
His friend George was divided
between sympathy for Henry's
feeling. and natural caution.
These sudden affairs seldom lasted.
Their roots didn't go deep enough.

He had seen too many heartaches,
too many marriages go on the
rocks, to be anything but sceptical.
Yet he envied Henry his roman
tic dream even as he cautioned
him.
On the fifth evenine after their
arrival, Henry and Virginia stroll
ed down the path through the rose
garden, when the birds were mak
ing their last sleepy twittering in
the tall old trees, and the perfume
of thyme and rosemary and a my
riad flowers and herbs mingled
with the roses in one fragrant bou
quet. " ' ' ' '
The young moon hung frailly in
the' sky. It was a night for love.
From the darky quarters came
faint strains" music.
Silence was on the pair. As with
one accord they stopped at the far
end of the garden, leaning over a
wicket gate. Virginia had plucked
a beautiful white rose. Her eyes
were downcast as she nervously
pulled at its petals.
Came the voice of Henry in her
ear, as each petal fell to the
ground: "He loves me! He loves

erly.
Her heart raced. Her breath
caught. She felt as though she
were fainting with happiness. As
the last white petal fell, the young
man took Virginia in his arms, tilt
ed her face up, and reverently kiss
ed her. Higher and higher, as
though wafted on waves of en
chanted sound that was a benedic
tion, the music from the darky
quarters increased in volume.
Words were unnecessary between
these two. He held her tighter,
when the final note of the music
died away, he loosed his grasp,
looked into her lovely eyes, and
said very simply: "I must go to
Europe very shortly. Will you be
ready to go with me, Virginia?"
She gave a little greathless gasp.
She said: "Oh anywhere you say
oh, Henry I love you"
Gravely, from his pocketbook he
took out a tissue-wrapped ring. : It
was his mother's. Ever since her
death, twelve years ago, he had car.
ried it with him as a talisman. He
slipped it on the third finger of
Virginia's left hand now, telling
her that no other hands than his in
all those years had touched it.
"You'll wear it until I place an
other one on that finger, darling,
won't you!" he asked her, very ten
derly.. .
Silent and serious was Virginia's
father when Henry sought him out
in his library to tell him of his feel
ing for his daughter. The news
was not precisely a shock to him,
for the change in Virginia since
the advent of this young man had
been obvious to all. Henry was a
personable and likeable young fel-
low, it was true, and from many
things that George and Lefty .had I
nvi . j 1 V-J lAKHMAJ I
casually lei urup, ue imu iuicu
that Henry's social background was
unquestionable, and that he had a
sound financial position.
But his wish for an almost im
mediate marriage was something
of a shock, not only because of los
ing his daughter so suddenly. Was
it expedient for two young people
to take such a serious step on such
a brief acquaintance!
On the other hand, hadn't Vir
ginia's own mother defied her par
ents when they had assumed a like
cautious attitude, declaring that
she would go with her lover would
marry him and follow him bare
foot to the ends of the earth, even
if lie hadn't got "a nicke I !
John Randolph told Henry of the
privations and trials he and his
girl's mother suffered in their
early married life through the in
tolerance and antagonism of her
parents.
"Virginia is like her mother," he
said gently, "and I do not want you
to make any of the blunders which
I made in the early stages of our
marriaere. Virginia can be reached
' only through her affections. She
has a heart of gold. I he Key u
her character is love. She can be
led, but not driven ! She is high
spirited and impulsive. She in

count largely with Virginia. She
can surmount the big things she
can rise to any difficulties, but
where her affections are involved,
she is sensitive to an extreme. Some
little slight from one she loves may
become a tragedy in her eyes.
Radiant with happiness, Henry
at the time was so carried away
that he barely took in the import
of this speech.
But later on. those words of John
Randolph were; to come back to
Henry Van Tyle like warning and
prophetic bells. ...
N. C to Purchase
600 School Buses
RALEIGH The State School
Commission plana to purchase 600
new school buses at an estimated
cost of $600,000, according to Lloyd
Griffin, Commission secretary.
The 600 buses will be used as an
nual replacements for the state's
fleet of 4,900 carriers. Griffin said
that, because of defense orders, "we
have no idea when we may expect
delivery."
The Kentucky Derbv presented a
scene of unrivalled gaiety and
beauty. Virginia a radiantrvision
in a pale blue gown and hat that
set off her slender figure and col
oring to perfection clung to Hen
ry's arm, her feet on air, her spir
its bubbling.
She was engaged! To the hand
Bomest, most adorable man in the
world and soon she would be
his wife on her way to Europe
for a honeymoon!
Chotty, who was with George,
was generously elated with her
friend's good luck, though her
loud-voiced congratulations had not
been entirely unselfish! If Vir
ginia could do so well, why couldn't
she? Immediately she had heard
the great news, Chotty had exact
ed a promise then and there that
' Virginia would invite her for an
indefinite stay irt New York where
on Park Avenue (that Gold
Coast! thought Chotty) she
would meet similarly fascinating
young mil'ionaires among Henry's
associates.
Meantime, she was getting the
kick of her life at the Derby over'
what appeared to be a happy fore
runner of what life would be like
in the Big City! All those well
dressed, good-looking men, many
of whom Henry nodded to! Chot
ty saw herself in town, grabbing
off the best of them! She was
thrilled to the marrow.
Virginia herself was surprised
at the number of smart people who
greeted Henry as an old acquaint
ance. She couldn't help a tiny
twinge no, it wasn't jealously at
cordial greetings and bright
glances flung from gloriously
dressed women in Henry's direc
tion. - ' '
Of course he was so handsome,
so debonair, everyone must admire
him. And he was hers all hers!
Her heart glowed proudly, pos
sessively, :
After the first Couple of races,
she happened to find herself with
George, and went to place a bet.
Chotty, laughing and chatting
with Henry at the moment, was
observed by a well-known New
York gossip nicknamed Daffodil.
Daffodil approached Chotty and
Henry, and was introduced casu
ally by the latter. Chatty was at
once deeply interested in and di
verted by the newcomer. Never
had she met a type like this before!
She started he "line" immediately.
Just as well get into practice!
Daffodil's "ultra" air, his queer
slang, his odd mannerisms, and
above all, his appearance with the
waxen tiny mustache above a pout
ing upper lip that was much too
small, thoroughly amused Chotty.
Daffodil had seen Julie Trevor
in New York at a party but 'a day
or two before, and Julie had anx
iously asked of him if he'd any
idea of Henry's whreabouts? Cu
riosity had now made him approach
the pair, for already at the Derby
he had heard rumors that Henry
Van Tyle had fallen for a South
ern damsel. . , . I
As Chotty 's jokes fell on Daffo
dil's ears, he became annoyed with
her. He moved away, remarking
sotto voce to a companion; "My
deah, she ought to get the first
bronze medal for nitwits!"
