she repeated. "Oh, Rolf-you were
therel"
well, I'm not denying it. I don't
see that it's anything to make such
fuss about, though. Is there any
thing wrong in going to see a show
once in a while? For Lord sake,
Janet, what's the use Of pretending?
Things can't go on this way"
NO" she agreed. They can't go
on this way.
He looked at her, surprised at the
quiet tone. Rolf hated scenes, as do
all men. Was Janet really going to
be sensible about this?

Don't you see, Janet? You know
rs we'll as 1 do that our engagement
doesn't mean anything You don't
want to get married. If you did,
we'd have been married months ago.
You think more of that job of yours
than you do Of me-"
She was listening now. He saw
that her eyes had filed with tears.
How can you say that?" she inter-
rupted. There was hysteria mingled
with the protest in her voice. 1T
isn't true, Rolf! Oh, you know it
isn't!"
So there was to be a scene, after
all. The young man froWned.
Il don't know anything of the
sort" he said shortly But I guess
you were right about it. 1 can see
now we'd never have made a go of
it. You and are different, Janet.
We don't even like the same
things!"
The girl started to speak, but
whatever she meant to say was lost
IN a half-escaping sob.
You never care if you're having
n good time or not" Rolf went on.

go places, see things and know
what's going on. Sitting around
