Gypsy.
"Oh, I hope you'll be 50 happy!
Do you--when are you going to be
married?"
1t was an awkward moment. Then
the girl at the door mastered her
confusion and laughed TREMENDOUSLY.
"In-I1l tell you all about it laterl
Have to runI"
CHE hurried down the hall and
- caught the elevator car just as
1t was descending. In another five
minutes she was in taxicab headed
for the pier.
Hurry" she told the driver. "I've
got to meet some one and I'm late" !"
do the best can, Ma'ann."
For two blocks they had the right
Of way and sped through traffic.
Then a changing signal light
blocked them. Gypsy glanced out
of the window and saw a clock in
shop window. The hands poir aed
at 10 minutes of IL.
But they're always slow about
getting people ashore" Gypsy re-
assured herself. II can make it yet
If I'm lucky"
At that moment the taxi jumped
forward. Gypsy sat on the edge
Of the seat, clinging to each side.
What was she to say when she
met Alan? Probably none Of the
pretty speeches she had rehearSed.
What would he look like? Would
he have changed? A hundred
questions seemed to be throbbing
through her head. Topped by the
one tremendously big, important
question-what would Alan say to
| her?
Folded away in Gypsy's handbag,
rather the worse for wear, was a
letter. She had read it several
times that morning. The letter
had been read and re-read fre-
quently ever since its arrival five
days before. The address was writ
ten in a bold, masculine hand and
the poStmark was Paris.
She knew the words by heart.
Dear Gypsy" Alan had said, sin
ten days I'll be home. I've Just come
from the steamship office and this
probably is the last note III be able
to get off before sailing. The boat
is the De Grasse and we get in Sat-
urday noon.
Believe me, it will seem great to
be back. haven't realized until
these last two weeks just exactly
how anxious am to see New York.
Anxious to see you, too, Gypsy. I
wonder If I'll know you!
1--WE been saving the best news
until last. Didn't tell you I'd sub
mitted some sketches to the Thomas
Advertising agency, did I? Well,
they liked them. We've had an ex-
change Of letters and the result is
that Monday morning, just about
torty-eight hours after landing, I'm
to report for my new job.
1t won't be much money at first,
but once they realize the excep-
tional talent of this young man
known as Alan Crosby of course
things will be different. Anyhow,
jobs for young artists are scarce. It
makes the future a lot brighter
knowing there's regular pay check
ahead.
"It certainly will be great to see
you again, Gypsy. Do your eyes still
have little sparks Of red gold in
them, and is your hair still long? !
hope so. Do you still like butter
cakes and long walks on Sunday
afternoons?
There are so many other things
want to talk about, but they'll wait
You'll have to tell me all the news
and I'll try to impress you with my
French. All thirteen words! Wen
have a party.
Thinking about home is going to
make these next ten days harder
than ever to wait. Guess I'd better
stop before I burst into poetry. So
long, Gypsy. I'll be seeing you! AS
ever-Alan."
