A ND Eve was concerned about
L n Dick, too. The building which
housed the theater was completed
and Dick left for Chicago TO clear
up some loose ends Of business in
connection with the building. He
was in conference at the company
headquarters for several days and
the time until his return seemed
70 Eve interminable.
Much would depend upon his
next job. Dick had made clear to
her before he left. It was scarcely
likely that the Chicago firm would
have another long contract in Lake
City Immediately. Dicks next job
might be in another city or even
another state. Eve again refused
to consider this possibility until
she faced the actual facts.
She met Dick at the station the
June morning he returned from
Chicago. How handsome he looked
as he swung down the steps carry
ing his Gladstonel
Hello, sweetheart" he greeted
her.
Darling" she murmured, kiss
ing him regardless of bystanders.
And in the taxi riding home she
asked many questions except the
one uppermost in her thoughts
where he was to work next2
Dick had brought her an ivory
cloisonne compact and she was de-
lighted with it. Always. she told
him, she had wanted a really beau
tiful compact and this was doubly
precious because he had chosen it
for her.
Dick unpacked his bag and Eve
poured a cup Of coffee for him.
Then 1t was time for her to go to
the Office. He drove her down in
the roadster.
Guess I can chauffeur for you
for some time TO come" he re-
marked. That is, If you still in
sist on going to work"
What do you mean?" asked Eve,
her heart pounding with suspense.
I'm not going to have anything
to do for a couple of months" he
answered.
KHARYA and Ray had returned
WI from their honeymoon, and
twice Marya had lunched with Eve
and Arlene when she was downtown
on shopping trips.
That morning she telephoned to
Eve at the Office. Now that we
are settled" Marya said, I'VE want
you and Dick to come out and have
dinner with us. We're inviting Ar
lene and Sam Holeridge, too. Ray
and I both like Sam"
When Eve repeated this invitation
Arlene protested. But Sam is like
" to be three sheets to the wind!
I wish Marya would ask George Bliss
instead. I can't think of a greater
inducement to matrimony than sub
hitting a man to the influence of
Marya's romantic bungalow. And
I'm going to wear my rose chiffon,
too"
Arlene wore it, enhancing Sam,
who called for her in long, power
full roadster.
Want the top DOWN." he asked.
Arlene agreed enthusiastically, and
they sped along Lake road, hatless
and wind-blown, with laughter on
their lips.
Marya, in bouffant pink batiste,
was a delightful hostess. The din
ner table was laid with light green
damask, ivory dishes, amethyst
glassware and Marya wedding sill
yer. The food was delicious.
Sam praised Marya's skill as an
artist and then offered to arrange
for the sale of her batik work at
the store where he was employed.
Il hadn't planned to do much of
that sort of thing" Marya said,
but it would give me the oppor-
tunity to earn some money for art
lessons. My ambition is to special
ize in child portraiture. Oh, know
I'll have to study years and years
and work very hard-but I don't
mind thatl"
Later when the three girls were
together Eve said. ''Marya, this is
a story-boOk housed I expect to
waken any moment and find out
that I've been dreaming. Surely
you have nothing to wish for!"
Marya, smiling serenely, an
swered. Nothing but a cradle with
a cherub in it"
