Going down town in the taxi later
after all their plans had been made
lSuwanee remembered that Elanda
had said not one word about her
own trouble. She seemed to have
completely forgotten that Greg Du
Pont had anything to do with al
this.
He disliked bringing the subject
up. Finally Suwanee asked her:
Elanda. since you have taken me
in on this may / get personal with
you and ask you a question:"
You know you can, Suwanee,
anything"
It was hard for him to 60 On.
What III you gong to do about
Greg? You aren't going to marry
him despite all this, are your"
"Oh, mol I never want to see him
again. 1t was just as though he had
never meant anything to me. Isn't
1t stranger"
1T is fortunate" Suwanee smiled
in the darkness. I'm happy IL isn't
going to break your heart"
II never cared for him-that
way she told him then in a meek
little voice. 1T isn't a nice thing 10
admit. but you know so much about
how mean ! can be now that IL does
not make so much difference what ]
tel you. / became engaged to him
because 7 knew il would burn Carmel
up. I've been miserable ever since
1T wasn't his money them"
Elanda admitted reluctantly:
1T was al first-before I got en-
gagged to him. ! thought I had 70
know people like that in New York
to get some place. Oh. let's not talk
about it nowlr
-All right, we shan't. Elanda. But
how are you going to let Greg know
that you know all about this? Write
him a note?"
II don't know. I feel as though
I'D want to kill him II I saw him
again. The rotterl"
Suwanee had been enjoying pretty
much the same feelings. The two
were nearing the apartment when he
suggested quietly:
Il think I better handle this for
you too. Elanda. Will you trust me
10 convey the sad news to Gregory
Du Pont the third that he is no
longer your future husband?"
Elanda felt so happy to be relieved
OF the job that II did not seem
strange to her at all. She cried joy
ously.
"Oh. Suwanee, would you? DC
you want his diamond, too?'
If you want me to return it,"
Elanda was like a little child plac-
ing her trust into the hands OF a
kind old father. Even the seriousness
Of the situation could not keep SUI
vance from grinning TO himself.
He had a particular reason for de-
string to meet Greg Du Pont and
have a few private words with him
He had no intention. however. OF
telling Elanda why.
As they drew up IN front Of the
apartment Elanda lost her nerve.
"Oh. Suwanee. I can't 60 in and
face Dixie and Bang! Ill act funny.
know I will YoYu go in first-aS
though you were making a call. Ill
come In a minute and they'll think
I've been to a movie o something.
I'll tell them I have"
lit wasn't going TO be so easy for
Suwanee TO play the game OF friend
illness toward Dixie and act toward
both Bang and her, as though notn-
ing had occurred. Still there was

only a few minutes after ten.
Bang opened the door. His race
lit with welcome.
Come on in. Suwaneel We have
Mt seen you in a week"
Suwanee looked at his happy. al
most homely face and was shaker
with a wave of sympathy. Poor.
naive old Bang Dixie came out OF
the bedroom. There were deep cir

che looked worried.
Hello, Suwanee." she seemed
nervous. he thought. Have you
seen anything Of Elanda this eve
ning?"
II haven't been to the studio" he
evaded.
Dixie sat down unhappily.
I'm so worried about her! she
hasn't been home all evening. Her
hat is here-the cne she wore thi;
morning. 1 can't imagine where she

Bang treasured her.
Now don't worry, Dixie. Elanda':
