Jack caught Sues hands as she made pleading gesture, and i'm prisoned them.
 This is serious. Sue. Promise me that you won't go near their house." His eyes were young and rather desperate. His voice was stubborn with pride. Please, Sue. Just forget It."
 "All right. If you don't want me to. of course won't. But, time to hear my plans? Maybe course, 1t wouldn't have after you knew about it. The whole thing had to appear to be spontaneous. I won't go. Not ever. Does that make everything ali right?" "Of course 1t does" He look ed relieved. I'm getting along all right where l am. I like the idea of proving that I can do some- thing with law without the fam | fly backing. It's more like 9 real battle. I'm having a grand time out of 1t. Don't worry about me"
 To Sues relief Jack himself suggested Arnold Pages name when she was telling about the proposed dinner party.
 ''I owe him sopething," he said. "I'm taking perfectly good sec retary away from him. He and Nancy will have to learn to accept the fact they are going to see each other at the same places. Then | there will be Ted and Sarah, Grace and her prize package, whoever he is. Jimmy ostensibly with Grace-really not at all .. Mrs Webber, and who else?" "Nancy's husband is out of town for a few weeks again, isn't he? Why not try Miles Roberts for an additional man? And then for the other girl. :"
 Joan Markley?" Jack asked. Sue looked at him and laughed. "I was thinking of her, too. wanted to mention her name. Now I'll think that you had secret deep and abiding desire to have her at the table," She was smil- ing and her voice was light, but there was a slender thread of seri- ousness in her voice .. so thin 1t was almost unnoticed.
 Sue" At the sudden gravity of his tone. Sue glanced up and met his eyes across the candle lighted table. "You know that there isn't anyone else. now or ever will be. As far as I'm con- cerned all other girls and women are just so many paper dolls. Get that in your head and don't let 1t leak out" His tone, too. was whimsical, but she caught the seri- ousness of 1t.
 t,ns n leaned forward little. "Why do honestly. But I love you so fright fully I don't even want you to talk about other people. And that is foolish, for l want you to be at tentive and nice to every woman in the worfld who crosses your path. And wouldn't like it if you made remarks like that to me. Whats the matter with me?" "Nothing. You're perfect. And what are we going to have to eat at the conquest?"
 Sue laughed. Anything you say. Got any ideas?"
 "Then let's have steak three inches thick and French fried po- tatoes and She started to disagree. a whole row of names of elaborate foods ready to roll from her tongue. Then she caught them back.
 "Why not?" she asked. "The men will like 1t and who cares what the women think? They'll enjoy 1t more. too. even If they would have had iced vegetable juices in jelly rolls and all sorts of creamed things that men despise. If weren't married to you I'd serve the steak to catch you. Since 1 am
 "I'd eat creamed codfish every meal if you asked me to-" Jack 1n- terrupted. "Then go downtown to n restaurant. Is that the door bell?"
