pleaded Byrd. IL haven't the slight
est idea what YOU mean"
"Well. you'll know III you ever get
father to put along your plans for
mein threatened Pat.
Listen to me, Pat" said Byrd,
fiercely. "India's been telling you all
sorts Of tales. I've told you she's
unreliable. and IL you're going to
start running around with her and
taking her advice, I'm through. I'll
write father right this minute that
you're coming home tomorrow night.
I mean it,"
India hasn't said q darn thing"
said Pat. stubbornly, but a dark
glow leaped to the roots Of her hair
Just as il used to when she was
caught in an untruth. Pat always
gave her friends the benefit Of the
doubt ever against her family. when
IL came to n test Of her friendship
for them. But when something SER
ious was about to happen 10 the
family. then she threw loyalty and
everything else 10 the winds.
"Well?" said Byrd. waiting. the
potato masher still clenched in her
right hand.
Pat pretended to be warding It
off with both hands.
"Now. don't 60 and get all steam
ed up o.er nothing" she said. as
she saw little beads of moisture
breaking out on Byrd's forehead.
But give me credit for good eye
sight and some brains. The first
night I'm here. Larry and | sur
prise you in Jacks arms and then
ycu make an engagement 70 take
care OF a little business matter,
and you meet Chef and do your best
to edge me out of the apartment be-
fore he comes"
II was all perfectly true. Byrd
put down the potato masher and
turned away. She was on the verge
of ~hysteria. Suddenly Pat realized
that some worry was stopping those
slender shoulders of Byrd's and
that she was deeply hurt and un-
happy.
Pat ran to her impIlsively, put
ting her arms around her sister.
Pats flaming hair seemed
tarily to absorb the lighter tones
Of the heavy strands that coiled
like ropes around Byrd's small
head.
"Come on, darlin', tell me what's
bothering you Something is" urg-
ed Pat. holding Byrd still closer.
II can't" said Byrd. bound not TO
give way. but wiping her eyes fur
lively. II think its going to be all
right, but ! want you to promise
me you won't listen to any gossip
you hear about Larry or me. You'll
probably hear enough from that lit
tie snake"
Then suddenly Pats whole atti-
tude changed.
IF India says one more word
about you or anybody else" she
broke out. "Tm through with her,
and I'm going to tell her so"
Chef and Eddie W~orthington ar
rived first.
Eddie was a sresh-cheeked boy,
with frank eyes. beautifully even
teeth, which protruded slightly and
gave a faint lisp. and curly. brown
hair. He did odd jobs for Chef q
the bank.
Pa fell for him on the spot. He
had a smart. slangy line that i'm
pressed Pat as the most cosmoroli-
tan conversation she'd ever heard.
They had just started to play
bridge when India arrived, but for
the first time that Byrd could re-

gullible. She believed every word Of
il, Every single word.
I'D love it," said Pat. Nothing
to do but doll myself up and sail out
Of the house every morning and draw
my pay envelope every two weeks,
just like n mani"
well, father'd never let YOU do IT,"
snapped Byrd. II think it would be
terrible"
81 suppose you'll do your little best
to curdle il for me-" Pat snapped
back at her. "All right. You start
something and I'm going to tell him
n thing or two thatll open his eyes."
Byrd stood rivetcd 10 the floor. She
was shocked. Here they were quar-
rcling. rs they used to quarrel years
ago. when their battles had narrowed
down to IF YOU tell on me, I'm going
to tell on you."
"What in the world do ycu mean?"
asked Byrd. soberly. Her voice was
low. for she had made up her mind
to hold her temper.
Didn't / say you'd stepped along
since you're married." derided Pat,
in a loud voice. "HOw dumb do you
think l am. Stupid?'

AT the annual convention Of this

said Byrd, waiting.

"Well?" said Byrd, waiting.

he came into possession Of a vanity
case Of mine and Marcy found ii in
his dress suit pocket and is raising
cane about il. Jack came to me TO
ask if Id help straighten the thing
out, and you see how | succeeded"
There were tears of irritation and
worry in Byrd's eyes. Why had she.
of all people, ever become involved
in such a mix-up?
well, my advice. Unconscious"
said Pat, with all the wisdom Of the
ages, is to 60 right 10 Larry ans
tell him the whole story and let
him punch this guys face
But you must see, Pat" argued
Byrd, "that it's up TO me not to
cause n breach between Larry and
Jack. Not right now. Jack has
threatened 10 take a position in Chi
cago. and that would leave the whole
burden on Larry's shoulders, debts
and ALL"
Chef telephoned shortly after they'd
gotten back to the apartment TO say
he was bringing one of the boys down
at tn bank, Eddie Worthington, with
hi mfor a game Of bridge.
Pat was all excitement. The pros
pect Of n new man. like a new dress,
sent galloping thrills up and down
her back.
They'll be here about eight" said
Byrd, starting to peel potatoes for
their dinner.
'India's going to drop in 4 little
while this evening. too said Pat.
1--WE can take turns cutting I'M"
While Byrd fried the lamb chops
and mixed the salad. Pat made the
sandwiches and squeezed the lemons
for a midnight lunch.
Pats tongue ran on necessarily
about India.
India thinks you learn more in
practical things working in a big de-
partment store. You meet the incest
people. She watches all the smartly
dressed women that come 70 her
counter and then goes and buys
in n few weeks it's the smartest thing

Marcy grabbed Peter out cf Pats
arms and started upstairs with him.
"You needn't bother to come down
again" said Byrd to her, icily.
Were going"
But Marcy continued upstairs, as
If she hadn't heard her at all.
Byrd knew she had to make some
explanation to Pat.
But she was SO completely upset
by Margy's behavior toward her
that she couldn't for the life Of her
even thing what she was going 10
say TO her. She couldn't gloss over
the whole thing lightly, for then Pat
would seek an explanation from
India. She would have TO say
something definite.
What in the world could she tell
her? Anything but the truth, she
decided, for Pat would Immediately
draw her conclusions then about
Larry and the entire crowd he ran
with. India could give her a lot of
misinformati0n, but she wouldn't be
likely 10 involve Larry in her scan
dalous tales.
They were spinning down the wide
emu under a blue sky, in the
bright sunlight, when Byrd cleared
her throat.
"You must have heard some Of the
conversation | was having with
Marcy" she began.
Conversation ?" jihed Pat. ct
sounded more like a hair-pulling
match"
Byrd ~shuddered. Her blood ran
cold II Pats blunt words. but that
was exactly what ii was. And before
Byrd had been married, she hadn't
even talked back to her mother.
II was just as dumbfounded as you
were with the way Marcy carried
on continued Byrd.
"Well, you let her get away with
Il. I'd have laid her out as flat as
yesterdays pancake" said Pat, her
face all screwed up as if she were
concentrating on a blow below the
belt.
Jack Duncan spends all his eve
nings anywhere but at home and
Marcy has never known just what
TO do about il. ! suppose she rags
him to death when he IL at home and
she watches every girl like n cat
when they 70 out. Just recently he

Byrd's place ut the table. she sat
at her elbow, silently watching the

that there was an attractive boy in

thought Byrd. Poor Eddie was 50

to enjoy the skirmish.

she said, yawning and getting up.
Eddie chortled vigorously
India started the Victrola and
broke Up the bridge game. Eddie

sausage in the ice box said Byrd,
as they started again for the kit

India sat rlowering behind n
magazine, while Byrd and Chef att
tempted to carry on the converse
ton.
They could hear Eddie and Pat
bowling delightedly at each others
quips.
"No matter how thin you cut II.
it's still bologna" Eddie called to
them. Only he pronounced it "bo-

And she made another wry face at
Eddie.
"What you need is fresh air," he
retaliated, impertinently.
With a frown and a jerk. India
went to the telephone ard called n
taxi and. with another jerk and a
slam. she went into the bedroom
and put on her hat. Without n
word. she slammed the door behind
her as she left.
There was a startled silence in the
room.
"We1l pay for this" said Byrd,
ruefully.
