 CHAPTER XIX
 Were they engaged?" Cecily gave it a rot-that-it-matters inflec- tion.
 NO, they weren't engaged" said Marta. But, honestly, Cissy, when a man has been madly rushing a girl for months, if he's decent he'll force her to let him down, won't he? don't expect man to marry every girl he goes with. Like mamma says, they have to go to- gether for quite a while to find out whether they want to marry. But I do say that when man will do that twice in two years-just throw two dandy girls down flat, and for no reason at all-any girl who knows about 1t, if she has any
 
 We'll said Cecily, essaying course, if 1t was only that he sud- denly got tired of them. Maybe the girls didn't know the reason; but maybe they did and didn't like to tell"
 "No, sir. I don't think so. Bea told Lutie everything. Of course, -Bea did say that when she began to go with Barry he told her that he couldn't quarrel. That he had a complex or something about quarrels. I forgot whether she said complex or repression-but you know what I mean. He said a quarrel blew him out like can- dle. and he couldn't. But Bea said they hadn't actually quar- relod. She did say that they'd had an argument but that as far as she was concerned 1t was just foolish- ness. and she never dreamed that he was really angry. She said he just didn't talk. So then she came right in and didn't offer to kiss him good night = but she said she thought he would have, if she'd waited. A man can't get mad and quit every time girl doesn't offer to kiss him good night, can he?"

 "well, what if it was? Lutie said she thought, maybe, Bea had been flirting a little, trying to get him to the point of talking marriage. But. anyway, Cissy, what can girl do with a man who says he can't quarerl? It's swell for him, of course. But it simply means that he'd have to have his own way utetrly about everything-you know. I told Lutie that if the girls had had their share of gray matter they'd have let him out for air when he first pulled that cant quarrel line. What can you do with a man like that? Honestly! Just, Yes, dear and No dear around him all the time. Silliest thing I ever heard of"
 Cecily forced herself to stop thinking that it might be tolerable to "Yes, dear' and NO, dear around Barry all the time and said. Marta, promise me that you won't make a fuss at Gretchens' party. Gretchen has loads of friends. and I owe her ever so many parties, and"
 "Oh, yeah? Put that in the Uugh Huh department. The more l think
