suddenly and the blood flew
happily to her cheeks she
wanted to toss her head back
and shout: ooh, how l love
you, Douglas Keith" But
judith was bred in a home OF stern
repression. =
Sandy might stand on the pier IN
the moonlight and wait with nait-
shut eyes and frank, eager lips for q
mans kiss. Judith blushed, sc
kuovledging even to herself that sno
ioured. for the moment when TINS
dreamed-of joy would be hers ~nen
h. would turn with that high, sweet
look TRANSFERRING his face to say
@Jude, it's been you all along-AOO
I've been searching for. You notice
I've always come back to you. You re
the only one that counts-the only one
that lasts"
So now her heart waited. She
scarcely dared TO breathe, her eyes
lowered as before some sacredness ana
beauty.
With an almost fainting shock she
heard him say: Gee! what's tue
matter. Jude? You're awfully white.
~Oh! Am /? The moon-look at II
Its that misty light. Doug: Did you
hear that bird singing-and i saw
star flying"
Incredible tears rushed to Judith's
eyes.
sYou're not going to weep about il
are you? Gee, you're the nut, JUDE
The oldest things get your goat
That's why you're so different. Now
il you should ever love - holy
smoke"
Saving II as though Judith had
never the remotest notion of what love
might be.
She managed TO smile. all her nerves
strained and tingling: @Yes-every-
thing or nothing. that's the way loves
going to be with me. Doug"
~All the same here
enc. you're too tickle. You Ike
change. You wouldn't recognize ire
rnendous love il it was handed TO you
on a silver salver like the head OF
gohn. You wouldn't recognize it even
II someone offered it bald as that.
And You wouldn't want it You al
ways get weary"
sNot nv fault. Jude! It's your sex.
Won wouldn't care to see the same
fhow again and again, would you !!
Girls are like that-like light musical
comedies with a few sprightly airs
and a tune or two. That's all. No
thought behind it-no purpose-no
real emotion"
"Are we as bad as al thstT
Not you, of course.
Again Judith smiled. She thought
peryously: mot me? But what am l!
A kind Of third sex? Someone not 70
be considered when iove Is mentioned
Oh. II you only knew how I'd like 9
few Of those sprightly airs! J"
Aloud: "You want too much, Doug
You want a girl to be light and empty
as a bubble, deep as a well; change
able as flame, yet constant as a rock
You want the lure Of Magdalen il
the soul Of a Madonna. They don
make us that way. But II men really
wanted girls with depth, the girl
| would get the depth. Now, depth Il
| nothing but a detriment. We're empty
Doug. because you like US that way
/ Just 20 over all your own merry al
fairs. Isn't II always the flashy o.
the cute or the posey ones that fasci
I nate youT"
"A girl has 70 have appeal. Of course
But why can't depth and charm go TO
eether?'
Because, when a girl has depth sh'
isn't thinking about herself all tn,
time. She's impersonal" judith
laughed. Like me. you sea third
sexer! When a girl thinks then she
is sincere, and a sincere person for
gets to be coquettish. Then they don't
tickle you like feather! And you'd
rather be tickled than loved.
"You want your senses intrigued
and not your spirit plunbed. Right
am II"
"Nopel We want both. II may b
that you've got 10 intrigue the senses
before you can plumb the spirit. The
ideal woman should do both"
Where will you find her, Douglas"
"Plenty Of time TO look. No hurry
Jude. I'd have TO give you up. Ever
think OF that"
"Yes-often."
"wouldn't you carer
ooh yes, I'd cave" And she now
turned toward him with soft, pierc
ing laugh, her eyes all violet fire
I'd care, Holy smoke! You bet ID
care"
His lips parted in sstonishment, {
flare of ] d shooting across his cheeks
Then he stsmmered: 'Gee-well,
should hope you would "
Judith was glad when they reached
her door. For the last hour she list
ened by sheer force Of will TO all hi
plans.
He was going 10 New York. Thin
Of II. They were sending him on
trip 10 New York. Try out his stuff
there for a while. But he'd Be bach
