morrow. 1t was hard on Mercina, it was hard
on Frank, who even in the moments Of his ex-
ASPIRATION, realized how authentic was her
dilemma.
"You have simply got to make up your mind,
darling, that you can't be two things. in this
particular situation at least at the same time"
"I know that darling, and don't want to
be two things. want to be your wife,"
After that life would be the perfect dream of
romance that it can manage TO be for two
people who are in love. Then along would come
an evening something like this:

multitude of my shortcomings" ill.,,

"a and Nay-ANeav Story gy Fmme Hwr@

TT was six days bfore the termination of the
= month that. a restless, narrowed, lovesick
young man, yearning for word from Mercina'
met up through mutual friend, with young
woman from Mobile, Ala, named Libby Iced.
She was an agile red-haired girl, fresh from
the laurels of considerable local dramatic trl-
umph in Alabama, who, having captured the
enormous interest of the dean of New YORK
theatrical producers. was about to be featured
in a forthcoming musical production.
They met these two, Frank Conway and
Libby Iced, and five days later, he was asking
her TO go down to the City Hail and marry
him, and she was replying by throwing her
arms around his neck and kissing him soundly
and roundly against the lips.
"You are sure you aren't making mstake'
sweetheart" he asked her. you have so mucn
to lose-your career-your future"
"Ah guess all am maxim a mistake honey"
she said in q Southern lisp that was adorable
to him. ''but you CANT have everything in this
life and want you more than anything can
think of. Come on, honey, let's hurry. Lie
is short"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-03-16

AND then the next day the usual overtures
of telephones and tears from Mercina, and
forgiveness and tenderness from Frank.
But slowly, surely there was wearing against
the nerves of the two of them the strain OF
the situation.
Marry me today. Nero, and let's end this
awful uncertainty"
"It's no use. Frank, let's try IL apart for .
month"
Strangely on one Of these outbursts, they
both decided quite seriously, to experiment ON
this last. There were tears, grim determination
experimental fervor.
Promise me- Frank. II decide can live
apart from you permanently, after the month,
you will understand"
st will, Mercina, If it kills me-"
"And the same applies to you, Frank. II
you find that life can 60 on without me, by
the end Of the month, you are to be frank and
will understand. Don't let me hear from you
for the 80 days, and at the end Of that time
I viii call you up"
Curiously, and because Of the strain OF the
months that had gone before, this pact was
kept between them, and the experimental days
became the experimental weeks, and the ex-
perimental weeks heightened into the month.

~HE was one Of those girls in the clever
position of being able to debate between
her mind and her emotions the adVisa-
biIity, the pros and cons, the yeas and
nays of marriage.
That is she had business college degree
economic independence, and an earning ca
pacity that exactly tied that of her on-and-on
f1ance On-and-off, because Mercina, who was
26, was finding it difficult to reach a decisive
state of mind about this idea of marriage with
q thoroughly personable young lawyer Frank
Conway.
There were after all countless considerations
which made it somewhat more complicated than
is usual for young woman like Mercina to
settle the matter of her marriage. First, she
had not only been earning her own living. and
a good one for over period of six years but
there was every reason Tor her to believe that
within the following six years her already wen
established earning power could double itself.
The point was that during the six years, she
had been wearing 500, tailor niade suits, $18
shoes, $25 hats, correspondingly expensive lin
gerie and had taken on as matter OF course
the habit Of lunching at the towns smartest
restaurants and had snappy expensive business
conferences over the dinner tables of the best
hotels.
