FOUR-LEAF CLOVER

Really you should have mertensia and Princess Elizabeth tulips around it, with some Star of Beth- lehem for accent. And, MT Carter, if you please, look what found on the path! Isn't this a lucky omen?"
 She held up the clover leaf, and for the first time, noticed a vase of red roses on his desk. Meaning Lucia. She always brought red roses. Her idea of what the we'll dressed office should wear. That accounted for Rods cheerfulneSs now. Lucia had coaxed him into giving in to her. Probably won him over to penthouse--and make him like 1t.
 WITHOUT WARNING CONNIES EYES FILLED WITH TEARS
 Without warning Comics eyes filled with tears. She saw that she had been. vfsualizing herself, not Lucia, as the happy sharer of his house. Suddenly she knew that she couldn't go on this way! And Rod mustn't see her cry.
 Dropping the clover on his desk she said abruptly: I'm leaving, Rod. I hope you won't have too much trouble filling my place. Goodby."
 And she was gone. A descend ing elevator picked her up just as Rod reached the door, giving her q glimpse of his amazed expression.
 She was frightened by her rash ness. Giving up a good job-the only one she'd ever had! You don't 10 such things in these times, she told herself. She ought to go back, but she couldn't. What a fool to let Rod see she cared.

 Pulling a brown beret from her trim brown head, Connie joined the gardener, to revel in the au- tumn beauty and dream of how she'd love to landscape this charm ing spot-a rail fence at the back to shut ou the road below, and a riot Of Silver Moon and Paul Scarlet roses tumbling over it.
 A natural rock formation facing the terarce would be restful with artfully concealed steps and AL pine plants. She thought of the joy of serving informal dinners on the terrace Summer evenings; ice tinkling in glasses, laughter sound ing more musical because of the stiffness.
 The deaf old gardeners assump- ton that she was the future mis- 'tress of the house brought her back with a guilty feeling to the purpose of her visit, and while she was try ing to make him understand Rods orders, the taxi driver boomed that she had just time to make her train.

Good afternoon, Miss Gordon .'' Rodney Carter's fascinating grin | was missing. He was always 1 formal when irritated, and Con- | stance saw now he was in a rage. Rod fell, rather than flew, into rages.
 Ever since graduation from Middlebury three years ago, Con- stance had assisted Rod in the | management of the Carter~ Ad- vertising Agency and had lkarned to lift dense atmosphere by treat ing his sullen moods nonchalantIy.
 Don't let 1t throw you, Rod," she said, gently. I'm so punctual you're spoiled. Besides you're early to-day and that happens only when you're in a bad mood. So what? Tell mama"
 That's right. Treat me as if were a two-year old. It's being done"
 | Connie knew the answer to that one also. Rod had had @ bad evening with Lucia Harper. Lucia was his fiancee and bad evenings | with her were frequent. Connie resented taking the brunt of them. | We'll, you are childish at times" !" she protested, impishly, "even if you are the successful president of | the Carter Advertising Agency, Williams football star and Phi Beta" Reference to this last al- ways embarrassed him. You still think Williams has a betetr foot ball team than Middlebury, and that's childish-or senile. At twen- ty-seven 1t could be either."
 Flushing beneath his red hair, Rod pushed back his cuff, studied his watch, and boomed: Pipe down, will you, and let me talk? I want you to get the 9:50 to Larchmont. You've just time. Shift into high and step on it. Get a taxi to Dogwood Lane, number forty-two and tell Marcy to stop work until he hears from me. can't reach him by telephone and I can't go myself" D.
 So that was it. Another argu- ment with Lucia about living in the suburbs. Why will men who want country life choose to marry penthouse orchids? Constance wondered.
 LUCIA HAD AGREED TO
 THE HOUSE IN LARCHMONT
 Lucia had consented to the house in Larchmont only on condition that they spend the winter months in town. She probably regretted that concession now and, having been throughly spoiled by rich and doting father, she expected to have her way. Rod usually capit- plated, through Connie remem- bered with satisfaction the after noon Lucia had swept gracefully into the office in devastating Paris frock. a double silver fox worn with just right casualness and hat that displayed her lovely blonde hair to the best advantage, demanding that Rod cancel a con- ference to attend tea. And Rod had refused.
 Usually things ran smoothly at the office and 1t was pleasant work ing with Rod. His attitude was more protective than the three years difference in their ages war ranted and Connie liked to discuss her problems with him and follow
