MhRRlED," SHE SAID. one thing. Promise me you wont rush off and get married tomor. row.' Her dazcd, anxious eyes, with their network of little wrinkles pleaded with the gay deep ones oi Honey Lou. She was pathetic somehow, as she stood there.
 q want you to be married in white satin and orange blossoms the way q bride should be married" she said earnestly. "A girls wedding day is the loveliest day of her life
 - and l want you to look the way you should that day. instead of running off to 2 justice of the peace in your everyday clothes. All the women in your family have had proper weddings - the Hunt 'rys of Kentucky, you know"
 In the end she had her way. and Honey Lou telephoned Jack before she went to bed that night, to tell him that they would have to wait until her mother and Miss Sadler made her a wedding dress, before they could be married,
 "How long will that be-" he ask ed.
 "A week." said Honey Lou.
 "A million years" he answered her.
 Honey Lou made the soft sound of kiss, with her lips close to the telephone. Ibid you hear that?" she asked, Goodnight"
 Margret and her mother were at the breakfast table when Honey Lou walked into the dining room the next morning.
 Margret was sipping black cof- fee and eating a grapefruit with no sugar on it. She had a horror of getting fat. and Honey Lou loved 10 tease her about it.
 Have some calorics," she urged her, now. as she sat down and passed her the plate of hot buttercd toast.
 Don't let me even look at the stutf," Margret almost groaned. If th>rc was one thing she liked more than anything else, it was hot but tered toast.
 That's right, Strong minded Marg!' Honey Lou said admiring- ly, Take care of the calories. and the fat will take care of itself! What if you were skin and bones like me-" she broke off a bit of the toast and popped it into her mouth.
 Margret laughed. "If I had skin and bones like yours I wouldn't mind,' she replied. You know you're a dream, so don't fish for compliments. Aren't you going to the office today?"
 For Honey Lou was wearing an old black satin dress, and her feet were thrust into her pink felt bed room slippers,
 She shook her head, and sat down her coffee cup.
 NO, I'm all through working down there. Jack says I mustn't go there again" she said in the hap py contented voice of a woman who knows that she is loved and protected I'm going to marry aacll Nallacll ill a week. Margret"
 She looked across the table at hor mother, why didn't you tell hcr?"
 q thought you'd rather tell her yourself" Mrs. Huntley answered.
 M&rgrct came around the table and kissed Honey Lou. Pm so glad for you" she said, and her face was radiant even though tears stood in her eyes.
 Mrs, IIuntlcy shook her head. q just can't get used to the idea" she declared. T cant seem to realize that Honey Lous going away from us"
 There was a tense little silence in the sunny room. with it's white it's red gcraniums, and its cheerful pretty breakfast table.
 Then Margret said the most sur priaing thing. She said 1t with her eyes fixed no the cup of coffee in front ,of her. and she said it slowly and almost without feeling.
 q don't know how Steve May hew is going to take this, Honey Lou. Pretty hard, I'm afraid"
 Honey Lou knew exactlys what she meant. But she shrugged her shoulders.
 "Pooh!" she laughed carelessly. How could it matter to Steve what I do? What I'm wondering is how Angela Allen's going to take t! That's what's worrying the life put of me-"
