Agony had forbidden Sylvia to have | anything to do with Fay any more. For all her 22 years Sylvia Starr was still helpless baby in the eyes of her maiden aunt and protector.
 They walked to Buchanan park.
 In the lilac walk the bushes were beginning to come out into leaf and the green iron bench where Sylvia i had sat with Fanny Phelps so many many times, was almost hidden from view. She wondered if he ever | brought Fay here.
 It was of Ranny that both Of l them were thinking as they sat down and watched the people who passed along the crunching gravel path, arm in arm. How do you like this hat, Sylvy?" Fay asked. giving the brim of her tiny green hat a touch with her long fingers,
 Stunning. Very spuzzy, indeed" answered Sylvia, admiringly. It really was a very good hat.
 
 I wore it to the card club last week." Fay went on.
 Then she added. slowly and delib- erately, T bought 1t for my we'd ding trip"
 sylvia's deep violet eyes darkened with wonder.
 Fay was wearing 8 new suit, too, smooth, slender garment of hun ter's green that matched the cum hing little hat.
 That's new suit you have on, isn't it?" she asked.
 Fay nodded. Yeah. l bought this for my wedding trip, too," she answered. T think it matches my eyes well, don't you?"
 Sylvia was silent. What are you wearing the things for your trous- seau now for?" she asked, at last. Its supposed to be had luck to put On the things for your honeymoon before you're married. Didn't you know that?"
 The other girl gave her a long look from her green eyes.
 I'm not so sure that I'm going to go on honeymoon for while," she said in a low tone. "The closer I get to matrimony the less I like the looks of it.'
 Sylvia could only stare at her. It was unthinkable that a girl could have Ranny for a husband and then hesitate about taking him.
 And, anyway, I'm not so sure that l care enough for Ran Phelps to tie myself up to him for life" Fay went on. She seemed to be talking to herself more than she was talking to Sylvia, I'm not so sure that Ran is the type of man who could be happy with one woman for very long-and I'm not so sure that l could be happy with one man for any length of time. See"
 Sylvia nodded.
 But your wedding day. It's only five weeks away" she said, finally. You'd better be making up your mind what you want to do pretty soon."
 Fay shrugged her slim shoulders.
 T don't suppose I really will make up my mind until the last minute," she said, outlining her mouth with her lipstick. Maybe I'll keep Ram ny waiting at the church., Who knows? I certainly don't. Some times I adore him and sometime I hate him with all my soul. Did you see him staring across the street at your house this morning when he was waiting to take me to church?"
 Sylvia nodded her head.
 Well, what was he doing that for?" Fay asked with q kind of anger in her husky voice, unless he's still crazy about you? I think he is-do you know it? I think he is"

 Is there a certain type of girl who wants a man just for the sport of taking him away from another wom- an? And what about the man who has given up the real thing for the imitation? Fay Shirley says that there is difference in q man want ing 10 make love to a girl and being in love with her. In the next in- stallment Sylvia begins to believe that man who jilts q girl pays more heavily than the girl.
