Il will If ! can get someone to
stay here with me, and there is only

and that's Claire Stanhope. Surely
you remember her, when We went to

tated before he said:
Yes. l remember Claire STAN
hope" he answered. slowly
We'll, did You know that she
works in the office"
Yes, ! heard SO, ut I've never
met her in all the two years tina
I've been there"
Again there was slight silence.
David put his arm around her and
drew her close.
"Lyn, there's a good deal of gossip
about Claire
We'll. ! don't care" Indignantly
flared Lynda. Il like her much bet
ter than that would-be vamp. Emily
Andrews. whom you seem to think
is plate of ice cream, sweet enough
to eat"
1t was then that David made his
first mistake in all his long friend
ship with Lynda Fenton.
"Lyn. you're not jealous of Emily
Andrews, are you?"
Heaven forbid What reason have
/ to be jealous of her? You have
shown me that you don't particular
ly care for her. don't like her.
She's a poisonous little cat, il you
ask me, and If there is any gossip
about Claire. I'll bet she is the one
who started it,"
This was SO near the truth that
David did not answer, until he said:
Il suppose it would be good
thing to keep this house as long as
possible. My father told me yester-
day that he had good offer for
ours. l persuaded him to hang onto
it. as ! know the money would all
go to gambling houses If he sold It,
Look around very carefully for the
right kind of a girl to stay here,
though. Id think a long while before
| took any one in to live with me.
l suppose I've been unconsciously
thinking of asking you to come and
live with me some time. ever since
the first day We went to school to-
gether. Some day. dear. We will
either live in your house or mine.
Did it ever strike you, Lyn, that
neither of us knows very much
about girls in general"
We'll. / suppose about the best
way to learn is to herd with them"
answered Lynda.
David said nothing. He had a
habit OF silence--which Lynda had
always loved. Strange, she felt that
angry mood come over her now at
his continued silence. Vaguely she
wondered whether she we're getting
too sensitive. She did not know that.
although David had told her he
loved her. and that her lips We're
still burning with his kiss, she was
jealous of Emily Andrews.
