Nothing. Everythingl I've
worked for the MacNamara COM

writer's. Filing letters. Dictation.
I'm so sick Of offices and the
sound Of Notwithstanding to
work mornings and rushing home
again at night-that I don't see
how can go back to it.
I'm sick Of New York, tool I'd
like to get away and forget there
is such a place. That town you
were telling about-Forest City
sounds wonderful. You'll be glad
to get back there, I guess"
Wallace leaned forward. "You
can come along" he said. my
offer still holds. And that's some
thing I've never done before-ask
girl to marry me after she's re-
fused once"
The girl looked at him. What
she would have answered must
remai6 a mystery, for as Gypsy
was about to speak each of them
suddenly became aware of the
presence of a third person.
Standing in the doorway in her
crimson evening, gown, amazed and
disappearing, was Anne Trow-

"And instead you find me the

evening, is it?"
Had any of them been in a
mood to appreciate it, young Mrs.
Trowbridges discontinue would
have been amusing.

Why, you must be out of your

Gypsy's tone rose to a higher
pitch. THAT settles it'll" she de-
clared. "Anne, I'm not coming
back to your party. I'm going to
get out of this dress and into my

Tomorrow morning I'm going to
marry this young man-if he still
wants me-and leave New York
and forge there ever was such
a place.
If you and Phil want to come
with us to be married, all right. If
you don't-well, I'll get my land
lady and one of the other roomerS!''
Color was burning in Gypsys
cheeks. With head high she
rushed from the room and into the
hall. Then door slammed.
It was ten minutes later when
the girl emerged. There had been
transformation. Instead of the
fragile, flattering chiffon she wore
the tweed coat and brown beret
in which she looked exactly like

She stopped abruptly.
"Ohl I didn't expect to find you

young man who was blocking the
way.
Wallace wore his hat and over
