70 the expense and trouble Of hsv-
ing somebody cut II for you. See?"
Ann didn't exactly see. Tony
didn't believe marriages could last.
Perhaps not even theirsl The
thought made her a little sick.
Maybe ours viii be different,
Tony conceded as the silence grew.
Anyhow were getting married
Soon"
When is soon?" asked Ann,
practically.
"As soon as I can put aside
enough for the down payment on a
ring. Il won't be headlight. Ann.
Just a little glimmer."
They we're walking toward the
bathhouse now. Ann gave his arm
squeeze. II was so perfectly
darling Of him, thinking OF the
ring.
Later. eating dinner in the pa
viliOn. the first little rift in her
happiness came. Ann became con-
scious Of the girl seated at table
near BY. For some reason, she dis
liked the slim girl with the dark
eyes. There was no reason for this
except that her stare was SO bold,
50 direct. and at times a half
hooking smile about her lips.
When the girl and her escort
arose to leave the girl stopped be-
hind Tony. placing a hand on his
shoulder. Surprised" she drawled.
Hello" said Tony. He intro
duced Ann 10 the girl-Eileen Wal
lace-and her escort.
The name meant nothing TO Ann.
But she was amazed to feel a little
surge Of anger when Tony reached
up TO take the hand and continued
10 hold 1t.
WHILE Ann was talking to the
w girls escort, she heard Eileen
Wallace say in a low voice, You
promised to call. You didn't"
Busy as the devil-all day."
Tony answered.
Yes, know"
When they were gone Ann asked,
Who IS she. TOny?"
He lit a cigaret before replying.
There was a touch of irritation in
his voice.
I thought I introduced you
Eileen Wallace"
Ann. nettled. said, $50 you did.
But an introduction doesn't give
one the picture"
"Oh, you want a character
sketch" Tony said easily. We'll,
then-'girl- nicely sums
1t up. Look here, Ann, you're not
going Jealous on me. are you?"
NO." said Ann. 1 promise
won't. That is, 1 won't show it.
It's showing it that is so horrid.
I'd never be a shrew." She laughed
a little uncertainty.
Tony said, You're a little phi
loSopher. Ann" He reached over
and caught her hand, gripping it
hard. We may row like the devil,
but I'll always love you"
No" said Ann. Rows are out"
They finished the celebration by
Loving each other so, they couldn't
ever really row, Ann told herself.
At u o'clock Ann kicked off her
pumps and slipped into her sheath
like gown.
How you can keep up this pace,
Sarah grumbled sleepily, as Ann
crawled into bed, i don't. see."
4 won't much longer" Ann
launched her bombshell, I'm get
ting married"
Ann, you're mott" Sarah was
wide awake now. She reached for
the bed lamp and flooded the room
with a soft light.
No need to ask who the lucky
devil is. Are you sure? Tony's an
awful risk"
Hes going to settle down. Wait
and see"
oh. yeahl Well. when do I kiss
the bridegroom"
Soon" Ann said vaguely, re-
membering Tony had said. Soon.
CARAH. not too optimis ically,
- waited for signs of Tony's
settling down" They were not
forthcoming. Tony went blithely
and gaily on his way.
Ann explained Loyalty that Tony
had to have recreation. He was
working himself to death over his
new contract. trying hard to get
ahead.
But Ann was troubled. There
were shadows under her eyes. She
and Sarah almost came to an open
quarrel one night when Tony. as
sisted by an obliging taxi driver,
arrived at the apartment. I won't
have drunks-no matter who they
are-cluttering up my living room,"
Sarah declared.
