When A Girl Marries
By ANN LESLIE

Hes silent because he's forgot ten, Anne Men do forget. And so very easily. l know you don't ap- prove of Evy. any more than I do, So just now I don't dare interfere too much. But this morning I made Phoebe promise to stop using that horrible ip,st:sk lip And hoW noys Jets lets concerned about now-how to find Betty" ..
 Have you any news?" I asked eagerly.
 Virginia shook her head
 Nothing. No word from Betty Nothing from Terry I, I phoned An H up something to do. Except Jim, we're Betty's nearest and dearest and of course Jtm's. absorbed in his own affairs now" I felt so happily close to Virginia that I ventured to be absolutely frank.
 I'm afraid Jim won't .like that very well. He almost hates Anthony Norreys.'
 "Gold old Tonyl How absurd for my handsome brother to be jealous of him.. But, Anne. you're blushing! shot was right, then-Jim Is jealous!" 1 Virginia threw back her head and | laughed, and In great confusion l put my cold hands to my cheeks-and |
 Through my mind ran a confused recollection of the half dozen oc- casions I had seen Anthony Norreys Each time I had felt strangely happy and at peace. Why was suddenly unhappy now and torn by restless | feelings?
 | CHAPTER CXxXv.
 "It doesn't hurt men to be jealous" | declared Virginia, smiling at me all most wistfully across her luncheon | table.
 Jim isn't jeaIous-he hasn't any cause to bel" I returned all the more firmly because I didn't understand my own blushes. But he doesn't won't approve of our turning to him for help in finding Betty"
 But Tony is the kind of friend people in trouble do turn to- in sisted Virginia.
 Well, he's coming now. We'll make the best of it. And if get in Ia row with Jim over it you'll defend me!'
 why tell Jim % asked Virginia cynically.
 "Oh, I wouldn't deceive Jim''- "I wouldn't have you. You're hon est little Anne. I've always known that"
 As Virginia spoke we smiled a, each other in the beginning of un- derstanding. --
 You knew that even when you like S9lu STdVely- Virginia gave me honesty for hon. esty.
 T don't know whether it's reserve or coldness-people call it both-but I can't make friends easily or trust too quickly. Friends hurt us too much when they have the power That's why I think it would do Jim a lot of good to be jealous of Tony
 You mean you think Jim is the sort of man who would admire his wife all the more because he thinks she's attractive to other men?'' l asked.
 Before Virginia could reply the
 maid announced MT Norreys," and we ended our discussion by pressing it down and eXtinguishing it's very embers the way a man puts out a
 ciearette-only the cigarette is smol<- ed to the end and our discussion had hardly begun.
 Even while I was greeting An , thony Norreys I. wondered if I could , ever persuade Virginia to ease hel | heart by telling me in concrete fash. ion just what she had meant by .'l can't trust too quickly. Friends hurt us too much when they have the , power"
 , Was Virginia remembering Pa,
 against Jim? An atmosphere of peace came into ! the room with Anthony Norreys. Vir ginia's troubles-and mine-seeme et , worry over Betty began to lessen . Now that this thin-faced, worn-look | ing man, with his ice-blue eyes ana q warm voice, had come to our aid : felt sure we should find Betty Q Boyle.
 And you say there's no clue? Tn, f Vocational Education people hay, : lost track of Betty: there isn't a sis1
 of her over at her apartment, and to v day there isn't even word from Ter
 ry-poor lad. I That was how MT. Norreys sum = med it all up, and I repeated afte }, him: n There's no clue; not the least stg1 = of a clue" D He smiled at me gravely, like
