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 Vo£cl-7aiUlaHex^ CHRISTMAS, GREETINGS M Wishing You An Old Fashioned - American Christmas Dr. E.

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 happy reunion to celebrate the age-old tradition of Christ mas. Short though the days, long though the nights, the glowing background of Christ mas makes all hearts light. Recalling now the happy relationships of 1945 we wish you the choicest blessings this holy season can bestow. C. J* Jenkins Tax Collector r PEACE° o . 1945*
