 N"Don't believe all you hear" she advised. Then her tone dropped, became confidential. "I'il tell you how It was" she said. Rose has been stringing Terry along = you know all about that--for two years. She kept talking about careers and l don't know what all"
 s"f still don't see--" Susan began, but the other interrupted.
 Mrs Milton warmed to her story. Well. 1t was all right as long as Terry played tame duck" she said, rclishing the words. They would have their Sunday and Wednesday dates as usual and whenever the poor boy tried 10 be serious my fine lady would put him off and talk nbout her chances of making a trip tO Paris. Well, that was all right!' Mrs Milton paused for dramatic effect.
 "And then what happened?'
 Didn't some cutie from over in his neighborhood make dead set for Terry? He began to call up every now and then to break date. 0f course I knew what it was all nbout but Rose didn't. It would take house to fall on her. l was the one," pursued Mrs Milton with s0tisfac action, "to tell her which way the wind blew. My fine young lady didn't like the Idea of losing Terry. She went to q little trouble for n change nnd - well. you see what happened! They'll be married be- fore Lent"

 After Ben Mad gone Aunt Jessie got ID from her rocking chair. where she had been alarming stock ings, and followed Susan into her bedroom.
 "That's a real nice young man." she said with unwonted approval.
 Susan was brushing her hair and did nat reply. Aunt Jessie seated herself on the edge of the bed.
 ""Tisn't every girl has young man give up a chance to get ahead just for her." she commented.
 Susan tossed back her cloud of dark hair and stared her astonish- mcnt. "I don't know what you're talking about she said.
 Aunt Jessie continued 10 look mysterious. Do you mean to tell t2eS 8she demanded, Ben hasn't sfSid you about thht offer to go to Giaiifornia as n band leader?" i@lkz1llh, that" Susan murmured. "Yes, he did mentian 1t once or twice but tboughtgit was all In the air. Anyhow what have to do with it?"
 Aunt jessie sniffcd. "Plenty, ahould say. He doesn't want to go 60 far away from you"
 Susan was annoyed and embar- rnsscd. ft seemed indecent Co dis cuss this with Aunt Jessie.

 You could do n lot worse than that" she stated. He's real steady, sensible boy and it would be n satisfaction 10 me to see you settled"
 Let's not talk about it." Susan said with weary patience. She was angry at Ben for having conHded his hopes to Aunt Jessie. How like him, she thought! She was bewil- dcred, too. Every one seemed to be pushing her toward marriage. She felt a surge of rebellion.
