 CHAPTER XLV
 Listen, Sheila," he said ab- ruptly, maybe you don't want to hear all this again but cant help it. You've got to listen to me. I love you! I love you and I won't take no for an answer this time. I'll get a job digging ditches if that's what you want. I'll prove to you l can earn a living. I'll give my money away, do any thing! You can have home in the country if you want it with a kitchen and gingham curtains and red geraniums in the windows. But, Sheila, you've got to marry me. You've got to-"
 Afterward when Sheila was in her own room she could still hear Dicks voice as he spoke those words. II love you, You've, got to marry me-"
 She had not answered. Doro- thy's gay crowd of guests had suddenly descended upon them, interrupting the conversation. There had not been another op- portunity for her to speak to Dick alone. Now it was time to dress for dinner.
 But Sheila did not want to hur- ry. She was in 8 magic mood. She was thinking about Dick who really loved her. Oh, he must love her! She had read it in his eyes, the tone of his voice, his manner. And she would have to give him an answer soon. What would she say?
 s Jeannette, the maid, had filled the tub. for Sheila's bath. It was a luxurious bath. delightfully."- scented, relaxing. Sheila fingered in Che warm, soapy water, realiz- ing that she was tired.
 But Jeanette was a creature who believed in promptness. She appeared with huge soft towels over ner arm. Are you Teauy, Mss? she asked.
 A little later, warm, dry, her body glowing, Sheila sat wrapped in a negligee before the dressing table. It was an elegant dressing table designed in the modernistic manner. There was a huge mir TOT with low shelves filled with silver and crystal bowls and bot ties of beauty preparations.
 (Which gown will she wear to- night?" the little maid asked.
 "I'm not sure," Sheila told her. Twill there be many at dinner?'
 Not many. Those whom you mot at the pool and a few others. About 20 l imagine"
 Twenty guests at dinner seemed large number to Sheila. She thought how the Samper fam lily worked and planned when three or four guests were coming to their home. But Dorothy had only to give few instructions and the work was done. Sheila had brought three even ing dresses all of them model gowns of Henri's design. There was a lovely yellow chiffon, lace trimmed; an apricot satin; and a lavender gown. Sheila preferred the yellow because it was more intricate and smarter. She de- cided to keep it until the follow ing evening.
 "I'll wear the apricot one" she decided.
