If fellows smart enough to
make use of the chances that

"Oh-just something. I've got
another funny question to ask, too.
VIII you tell me the truth?"
Maybe. Have to hear what it

The girls eyes met his directly.
"Will you tell me-" Janet said
slowly why you gave that purse
we bought to Dolores Calahan?"
A dark flush rose slowly in Jef's
cheeks. Had to get rid of it." he
said. you didn't want it,"
Then you didn't buy it-be-

he asked me to go to lunch with
him today. I turned him down to
come here with you"
"You mean-?"
His eyes asked the question and
hers answered There was a pause
in which the rattle of china and sill
verWare and the steady hum of
voices beat in upon them.
Listen, jeff said suddenly. st
don't know if I'm going crazy or
not. There's a lot I don't seem to
understand and I've got to get it
straight. Come on, Janetl I want
to talk to you"

moment to lose"
But we haven't finished lunch"
His gesture was magnificent.
Lunches can wait!" he said.
This is Important" He steered
her through the narrow aisle to-
ward the door. On the sidewalk
outside he signaled a cab.
But where are you going?"
Janet asked.
You'll see" They stepped inside
the cab.
Just head for the park" Jeff
told the driver. And keep going"
The cab started off with a Jolt.
Quite naturally, Jeff's arm slipped
about the girls waist. Quite natur-
ally his cheek brushed the velvet
softness of hers.
Janet" he said huSkily, haven't
you known you're the only girl in
the world 1 care about? There never
has been any other. Didn't YOU

but you all the timer"

she told him. And I thought I

"Sure!"

frightened about her.
Janet, you're so sweet. $3.50

His lips found hers, and all at
once the world became miraculous
and breathless and beautiful. The
miracle Of Jeff'S arms and Jeff's
kisses. The miracle of the girl and
the intoxicating sweetness Of her.
