Suwanee was surprised to get a
summons to bring the baby back
SO soon. Bangs voice on the tele-
phone shook halfway between mirth
and relief.

done with my daughter"
Great Scott!' Suwanee laughed,
Il just got into the house this min
ute. Is everything fixed UP 80 soon?"
Never better. All quiet along the
Potomac. I'll come right up to get
her"
"Oh. no. I'll prirg her down"
Suwanee offered quickly. II always

mo" Bang thanked him. Il want
to leave the girls by themselves.
They're having a little CAB fest.
There are a few things TO explain
to you. too. Suwanee. You must
think we are all crazy down here
We'll, it was a bit Of a shock. But
Elanda was so serious I couldn't
spoil her plans. I knew there was
nothing TO Id"
Suwanee was being gallant. Yet
he was burning with an almost fem
mime curiosity for the details OF
the matter. Bang went into the
bedroom.
I'm going up 10 get the baby.
Dixie. Meanwhile I hope 70 good
ness you uphold the family honor
and clear Elanda's mind OF all
suspicion. This has been a tough
few weeks. I don't want TO have to
go through any moro theatricals to
help save souls"
Elanda got up and put her arm
around him.
"Oh. Bang. you are a sweet old
thingl ! thought I was saving your
happiness"
She laughed Historically and kiss
ed him on the check
Tits too good 10 be true"
Elanda stammered. Being like this
together again."
When he had core after kissing
Dixie in the loving shamed-faced
way he always kissed her before
ANYBODY else. Dixie wiped her eyes.
And YOU thought Id give up a
man like that for a Park Avenue
skirt hound?"
1t was an inelsgant expression.
But Dixie felt like talking inelegant-
ly about Greg Du Pont. It relieved
her emotion. Then she grinned and
stretched out haDpilv.
Now we'll dish the dirt. I'll tell
you my story. first and don't inter-
runt me
II guess both OF us were trying
to be missionaries. You we're acting
SO silly and SO high hat and unlike
ouT old Elanda that I thought I'd
have 10 bring vol Gown to earth.
NY plan wasn't quite worked out
when I bought all the clothes and
flirted with the men In the restau-
rant that night. I knew that man.
I remembered him well. He Il 4 Wall
Street lawyer and went with one Of
the girls in Scarties. I wouldn-.
have talked with a stranger-or
dnced with him. Even to bring yen
down to earth. Too risky. 1 have
no desire 10 dance with a gunman.
For a few DAYS after that you
were more like rnur old self. But
after v1Il -. a~q6eed - Gree I
know I had 3D. do something. Oh.
Elanda. I know tfat egg 50 well.
He made a big PLAY for me when
] was on the stage and I knew
several terrible woTaen he was mix
ed IN with.
The very day after Won brought
him down here ne called me and
kidded me about being married and
asked me for 4 date. Then he said
if I ever felt like stepping out he
was the boy 20 take me. I didn't
think then I'd ever call him.
But when you got engaged to
him-the next day-a tough looking
jane called on me and threatened
70 kill YOU II I didn't break the
engagement. She meant It, too. He
had gone to see her and said ~
wouldn't make any difference with
them. ~ II he dio marry YOU"
Elanda gasped and began 10 weep
again. Dixie put her arms around
her protectivelv.
you don't need TO CRY about II
now. Andy. I promised the girl /
would try TO break II up. she agreed
