Don't think that, Tony. The flight has nothing to do with it. IT had some bad news from home. One-one of my sisters is ill."
 Tony accepted the excuse be- cause he wanted to accept it.
 Too bad, I'm most awfully sorry. But I'm sure your sister cant be seriously ill, or they would have sent for you. Put some powder on your nose and we'll join the others. They'll wonder what's happened to us"
 Mary Lou hid her face in the cushion again. To join the others was the last thing she wanted to do just then. Tony got up and walked the length of the room. H. fidgeted nervously. That story about her sister did sound a bit thin, but it was no business of his-or was it?
 Look here, Mary Lou" and he Sd. down again. T should hate like the devil to think that you're worrying or my account. You know there's not a doubt in the world that I'll pull through this flight all right. You're sure you won't worry about that?"
 Mary Lou turned and wiped the tears from her eyes.
 No more than I should worry for any dear friend" she said with conviction.
 Tony's sigh of relief told her that she had said the right thing
 His blue eyes crinkled with that b2ntering smile
 Brace up, Mary Lou" He put his arms around her. You've car ried on this far . now carry on to the end won't you?"
 T will, Tony" Her tone cl~- rIed assurance.
 And now I'm going to kiss yod. Mary Lou. if I may" Tony said slowly, She never had seen him look quite so serious. Because I want you to know. if anything should happen to me, that I've never met a girl I liked better than you"

N NpNN A v WORRIES

For Mary Leu the next few weeks passed almost incredibly fast. Life was so full that she didn't have d moment to herself.
 Her days were spent in the gown shop, her nights with Tony. There were theater parties, dances. din- ncrs and more dances. Everyone professed delight with their engage ment.
 Mary Lou deliberately closed her eyes to the fact that the engage nent was not genuine. Tony's phrase. Let's pretend" had crept into her blood She refused to al lew herself to think seriously of the future. She lived for the mo- ment - and the moment was filled to the brim with such Joy as she never had known.
 | She felt like a racing car, dash ing headlong toward the edge Of some precipice. Vaguely she real | ized she would reach that edge soon, but she didn't know when . |. Did 1t matter?
 Did anything matter so long as 1 Tony was with her - as long as she could feel herself crushed in his arms as they danced could 1 look up and see his deep blue eyes tninkling down into hers could see his dear lopslded grin.
 Gradually. however, her happi- ness was shadowed by the thought Of Tony's flight Day by day t became more imminent. The news papers were full of stories about Tcny Tn Gay Girl. Tony on the 1 street, Tony at some social fun tion And her pictures, too the | charming Miss Mary Lou Leslie, to whom MT. Titherington recently has become engaged"
 Tony had promised Jerry an eE- i elusive story of the flight for bis paper. Jerry talked excltedly about it at the breakfast table. Mary Lou shivered. pushed aside her bacon and eggs. The flight was drawing too near - too terribly near. For afteruard - she trembled n dre4. of possibilities.
 And there was another fear thlt haunted Mary Lou's dreams. It was the dread that something might happen 10 Tony. the very dread that Tony had taken such precau- tons 10 avoid Planes did crash. didn't they? Even the best plan-s, : like Cav Girl She didn't dare to think about II.
 The days continued 10 slip past with amazing speed. Then. lm- possibly soon, came the day before TCry was 10 start.
 Most of that day, fortunately, was spent in preparation for farewell party at Jays studio that night. It vas to be q cheery. informal at- 1 fair. The studio had been turned into 2 miniature ball room.
 T wonder what Tony's swanky friends will think Of It" Jay laughed. T bet some Of them will throw q fiji"
 Let 'em throw it." Jerry re- torted.
 The guests. however adored the 1 "cuteness' Of the place And cho- 1 rus Of shrill feminine voices ex- pressed enthusiasm over Mary Lous new yellow frock,
 You're coming in for all the at | tention, Tony grumbled as he swung her around the dance floor.
 Not blessed girl had said any thing about my new suit"

Tolerance Lacking in
 America, Butler Says

New York. July IT (UP)-Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university, believes that nothing is so difficult in this coun- try as tolerance.
 In an address to 4.000 summer school students at Columbia last night he declared that it is impos- sible to obtain in this country a dis passionate and reasonably discus sion of any theories contrary to our own institutions.
 We have given ourselves over to such extreme partisanship that we cannot discuss them at all" he said. Sitting in the parliaments of Eur ope, for instance, are those who hold exactly opposite views from each other. But, unfortunately, they, too, are lacking in tolerance. and even at times preach violence"
