The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-01-05

Jack and Sue strolled leisurely down the street. They forgot the unpleasantness behind them for a little while and paused to look in shop windows and make foolish remarks about nothing. They stop ped at the corner drug store for a hot chocolate and realized that 1t had been more than two hours since they had seen Sally Bradley and Joe Raynor turning into the Becker driveway.
 "The party must be going in full swing by now" Jack said, smiling. "Corrinne is probably very gay and getting a kick out of thinking that she has put us in the shade" 'Corrinne's funny" Sue answered. "She isn't quite grown up" She didn't tell Jack about the clothes she had sent back, or the taunting remarks that Corrinne had made that morning. But she was remembering the emerald she had pawned to help Corrinne, the time she had driven a taXicab for her and the trouble that followed, al- though 1t had all worked out for the best in the end.
 "I'm tired of being patient Griselda, she said slowly, after n while. "f guess Corrlnne and l aren't going to make up for long time"
 Angry at your sister" Jack asked teasingly.
 No. Not any more. That's what | makes 1t seem so strange. I'm just hurt" She told him about the clothes, after all. She knew that she shouldn't. Jack wouldn't for get as easily as she would, only she didn't thing she could this time, | either.
 They left the drug store and | started down the stret to the hotel. | Tho night had grown much colder. It was late fall and tht wind was a little wild, little sud. Sue pulled the collar of her coat more closely around her neck and thrust her hands deep into her pockets. The side entrance of the hotel was half a block closer to them than the main one. Few people ever used tho side one. The street was narrow and dark.
 "We might as well take the back way" Jack said. Within a few feet of the door they noticed car parked. It moved on as Jack and Sue came along. Two or three feet. | Then two or three more.
 Frying to get out of our way" Jack murmured. Let's keep on walking and circle the block. Say that looks liko my car"
 Sue nodded. "Yur're restless aren't you, Jack"
 Not exactly. didn't like the idea of Foster. that's the fellow at the office. taking my car.
 And that one that moved out has all the ear marks of being mine. Stlll, Foster must be all right. He's tho senior partners nephew"
 Tho car speeded up and went on as Jack and Sue came.
 "Not caught that time" Jack said. He laughed. Something rotten in Denmark
 The lobby of the hotel was par tially filled with people. There was an air of gaiety as though n party come place was Just breaking up. Sue waited near the elevator while Jack got the key.
 She saw u woman's figure, In n dark coat leave a telephone booth md cross to the back entrance. It looked oddly familiar. She could not quite place her, though.
 Jack came Just then. Sue won- dered If she would always feel the same breathless thrill at the sight of his tall young body, swinging along so carelessly; the frank gray eyes with their laughter wrinkles. Would the time ever come when she would be so used to him and he would be so used to her that the glamor would go She hoped not?. She wouldn't let 1t happen, she said. It couldn't, anyway!
 Jack too, noticed the girl.
