to me that being rich is nice and
any normal girl would like a rich
husband. But of course, I'm sure
Cela would be in lore with you
if you hadn’t a penny—-although
it’s nice that you have.”
Buzz said sternly, “Whoa! You
are in over your head, kid, and
sinking fast!” But there wa, af
fectionate amusement in his eyes,
and hut hand, that drew hers
through hi, arm, was very gentle.
“What she means, Mr. Mallory,
is that if Celia wants to marry
you, that’s her business! Natural
ly, we both hope you’ll be happy!’
said Buzz firmly, and added, "I
don’t suppose there’s an>| hing
more for u, to say—except good
nigbt!"
V\ m watched them as they
went up the walk, and when he
looked at Celia again she saw
that his face was hard with re
sentment.
“So that’s your mother and
father.” he commented dryly. ”1
don’t wonder that you felt like a
stranger here. Is Aunt. Judith as
-ausual towards you?”
Celia said swiftly. “It’s just
that you don’t understand—
but she hit back the words. She
couldn’t betray the confidence
that Ruby Pearle had entrusted
to her; she couldn t tell him that
Buzz and Mary Sue were so com
pletely absorbed in a tight little
world all their own, or that their
absorption was based on the
knowledge of each, supposedly
unknown to the other, that Mary
Sue was living on borrowed time,
and that any day the breath of
life that held them together
might be snapped.
Celia looked up at him grave
ly and said, “I’ve told you, darl
ing—Aunt Judith is really my
family. And she won t be willing
for me to many you until she is
honestly and sincerely convinced
that we really love each other
and that our marriage will en
dure.”
Win put his arm about her and
said dryly, “Hm-m! I m not so
sure I like that, either. Think
she’* going to be hard to con
vince? Maybe I ought to just bun
dle you up and run off with you—
Hey, that’s an idea! How about
marrying me tomorrow, and we'll
fly to Mexico and face Aunt Jud
ith? It would be a marvelous
honeymoon!’’
' "I couldn’t, darling. I’ve got
to tell her first," Celia insisted
At least he vielded the point and
she stood in the drive, matching
him go away, after promising that
she would ride with him in the
morning.
She went upstair* at last, sud
denly conscious of titc vumphu
feeling that inevitably followed a
day in the open, even with all the

conveniences that win nad been;
.able to provide. She showered,
and was slipping into a thin,
short-sleeved white dinner dress
when there was a knock at the
door and Honey came in, sleek
and shining and very lovely in
her chartreuse crepe frock.
“Look, Celia, Susan's been tell- !
ing me some perfectly fantastic
story about your being engaged
to Win Mallory!” said Honey as
she came in. _
“What makes you think it's
so fantastic. Honey?”
Honey looked incredulous.
“Then it is true!” she said. |
"Does it sound so crazy?
AJter all. Honey, I’m—well, 1
have men tell me I'm attractive i
and even fun to be with.”
Honey laughed and hugged
her impulsively.
“Hi, come down off that high
horse, and brush that chip off
your shoulder, pal,” she ordered
gaily. "Don’t be such a nut! Gosh,
you’re beautiful and any man
with a nickel's worth of sense
would fall for you like a ton of
brick! I didn’t mean that! I just
wondered how you could go for
him! Though he is terribly good
looking, and—well, » Jtractivfe.”
“And as Mary Sue pointed out,
in his presence, is terribly rich,”
said Celia dryly.
"Angel, don't be angry with
Ma’ Sue,” pleaded Honey gently i
"Sh# {•—wall, *h» « unlqua!,
Thara’a nobody quit* Mka nor.
But oho’* tho swootoot »©ul aliva!”
Celia glaneed, sharply at hor
siotor. Did Honey know, too, a
bout Mary Sue's frail hold on
life? Was the carefully kept,
jealously guarded secret that in
name only? But Honey’s eyes
were wide and innocent, and Ce
lia lecided that she didn’t know.
"What’s he like, Celia—really,
1 mean? I’ve heard people talk
about him, of course. They make
him sound a little like a monster j
with a forked tail and cloven |
h, oves. But if you are " in love
with him, he must be nice!’
‘SThot’. a Very sweet thing to
say, Honev,” she said quietly.
“Thanks! Win’s terribly nice and
I’d like you to know him, and his
sister, too.”
“Well, if you're going to marry
him, I’m quite likely to meet
them, and that’s swell!” said Hon
ey happily, and Celia suddenly
and impulsively hugged her.
After dinner, in the living
room, Buzz, Bugs and Doc were
deep in reminiscences of the
show, when there was the sound
of a car in the drive. Celia, near
the open window, and secretly a
little bored by the “do you re
member’s” slipped out of <the |
room and met Win as he came up j
the steps. i
“Hello, sweet,” he greeted her, j
and kissed her. “Remember me? ;
I can't stay away from you. I’m
afraid you’re going to have to get
used to having me constantly un
der foot. But I suddenly got
terribly lonely for you and so ?!
came to get you! We’re having a
dance and I didn’t want to dance
with anybody but you! Come
dong!”

Celia hesitated juet a moment,
and then ehe said eagerly, "May
I bring Honey? She’d love it, I
know, and I want you to know
her. iShe’s my siater.’’
"Of course, darling! Bring
your whole family and your
guests if you like! Bring any
body and everybody so long as
you bring yourself,’’ said Win,
overflowing With happiness.
She went back to the living
room, where Doc broke off his
story to look up coldly at the m
terrimtion.
“I’m sorry, Doc, said v^ena,
“but Mr. Mallory has come to |
ask Honey and me over to his
place for a party. You wont
mind if we ^rag Honey away?
“Certainly I mm3,’’ said Doc,
with a little old-fashioned bow to
ward a bright-eyed, eager Honey.
“Rut I don’t see there’s any
thing we can do about it, do you,
Buzz?”,
Buzz looked straight at Wm
and said unsmilingly, “Honey
does as she likes. Why shouldn t
she?"
Honey was on her feet, flushed
and smiling, and Win said to
Rusty, “Why not come along,
Randolph? Lots of pretty girls—
well, three or four of ’em, any
way—and we’d be delighted to
have you!”
“Thanks,” said Rusty, and his
voice was a triflle curt. “Not to
night. I have to get a bit of shut
eye soon! Doctor's orders.”
As they left the car in the
drive of ‘Azalea Court, there
came the sound of music and
laughter, the soft shuffle of slip
pered feet on glass-smooth floors.
Honey’s eyes danced. “Sounds
like a snore* narty!” she said hap
pilv, and Win smiled at her as he
took her hand in one of his and
Celia’s in the other, and led them
across the terrace and into the
house.
There were five or six couples
present, Celia saw at her first
glance. Two men were standing
beside the big music machine
one with a half emptied highball
glass in his hand. _
