don't think about It," he repeated. He
looked up, and as their eyes met, his
arm slipped about her, and he drew
her toward him. Her face was close to
his. He watched it change. And Just
before their lips met he whispered.
''We're sure Of this much, anyway.
Aren't we, sweet?" Her answer was in
her kiss.
Aunt Margaret wanted to meet her.
She suggested Sunday for early tea.
Dinner would be nicer, but the doctor
had been around again, and he didn't
think Aunt Margaret should be kept up
late.
"Doctor." Jerry said. II didn't know
Aunt Margaret smiled. you haven't
noticed. It's all right. But I'm not to
get excited Or to worry"
They sat In Aunt Margaret's living
room just at dusk. Shadows crept into
the corners, and Aunt Margaret, In
soft gray silk, was a dim figure in the
great leather chair as she rocked and
talked. The darkness was slowly swal-
lowing her up. Only her thin hands
On the dark cushions and her pale,
fine featured face stood out. Jean was
near the window, an elfin figure in the
eerie night. Jerry was smoking and
watching the shadows ON Jeans face
and throat and hair.
He had been a little uneasy about
this situation. Jean remembered Mer-
win Bailey too well. The incident Of
Genevieve Chance and Mervin might
have been the incident Of Jeans sister
and Mervin. Such things, Jean had
said, leave a mark on a young girls
memory. And now Aunt Margaret was
talking about Mervin. Her soft voice
droned. She was chanting her utany.
And when she paused, as a priest
pauses for the inevitable response, Jer-
ry watched closely.
He saw Jean hesitate; then smile.
"He-he was a wonderful young
man." she said evenly. Every one says
So"
Aunt Margaret sighed contentedly.
Then she reached to the lamp ON the
table beside her, switched it on, and

were lacking. Yet, as he stood before
her, Jerry knew she must have been
beautiful ten years ago. Or perhaps
i've. She could not have been more
than thirty-five.
He cleared his throat. I'm Jerry
Prentice. My Aunt Margaret is not
well. If there Is anything I can do"
She shook her head slowly. Watching
her, he had a feeling Of alarm. She
was not timid or uncertain. Whatever
purpose she had was not to be easily
turned aside.
IT'S a personal matter" she said
quietly. Her foot in its thin slipper
that was frayed at the toe stopped
tapping as she eyed him. She smiled
coldly. Her glance went past him
momentarily. He was standing beneath
the heroic sized likeness Of Mervin on
the wall. you're his cousin, then"
she said suddenly. you're not alike"
Jerry, who had never yet met a sit
uation that sent him stammering, felt
himself coloring. "We-we-no, we're
not at all alike. But about seeing Mrs.
Baily. Ii you will let me"
"Yes-I believe I will" She snapped

Late" she said. "and I want to tell you
what I have planned. I've made ar
rangements."
There were other nephews, she ex-
planned to Jerry. and several nieces.
She didn't want to be unfair. In her
will they were all to share alike. But
she would give Jerry his portion now.
They would need money to start with.
They were both used to it. It was
not as much as it might have been,
because Of poor Mervin's unfortunate
business venture, when he had been
taken advantage Of so shamefully.
She held out a square envelope to-
ward Jean. IT hope" she said quiet
~, ut will help you to keep the happi-
ness you have found"
Jean opened it and gave a pleased
cry. Then they both kissed her. They
went into the usual outbursts of en-
thusiasm and delight. But Aunt Mar
garet did not want this. Her eyes were
tired, her smile thin and forced. They
said their good-bys, and out on the
porch they saw the living room 60 dark
again.
In the car they rode in silence for q
while. Were lucky" Jerry said SOL

I'VE were made for luck, weren't we?'
The plans made progress. The
wedding, as Jerry had said, was to be
q good show. Jean wanted it that way
and her father, using heroic methods
and the last Of his credit, could see II
through. The ivy covered suburban
church, set in green lawns that would
be splashed with the first fall colorings
by late September, was ideal for 9
show. They were fortunate in getting
a Saturday. The church was much ir

There would be four bridesmaids and
q quartet Of ushers with manners as
immaculate as their h~aberdashery
There would be a minister who knew
Just where to put the CULVER in his
voice; an organist to wiring tears with
his FLUFFY notes; and, If the day were
clear, shafts Of midday sunlight through
stained glass windows. The elite o1
Rosewood would be there, and after the
ceremony the elite Of the elite would
be transported to the club for the usual
feast. It was deemed by those who
heard the plans, to be an effective
setup, indeed, considering the times
And the best Of 1t is" Jean said glee-
fully as she shopped, I'VE can live up to
it-for a while!"
Aunt Margaret heard of the progress
OF things at weekly intervals. Tea
would be served in her room-for Aunt
Margaret found the stairs firing of late
and Jerry would sprawl on the great
bed while Jean sat on the floor and
talked Of gowns Of orchid, bouquets OF
pink roses, and ropes Of autumn leaves
around the altar.
It was only a week off now. Jerry
and Jean ran up the porch steps to-
gether that September afternoon, and
Hilda opened the door. But not wide,
Hilda wanted to talk to them first,

I must tell her. It's a matter of neces-

and she smiled family. "You see you
didn't know the really important part"
she said. Jerry nodded duly, and she
went on. II have always wanted to
take care of him myself. But it Is
months now since my little business
went to pieces. My own parents car

hardly be interested. Do you see why
I must tell Mrs. Baily?"
Jerry sank on q chair near her. He
understood. He was for her with all
his heart. But he had to fight her. He
had to stop her. Mrs. Baily, I am
sure" he said sharply, would not be-
neve you"
Slowly, reluctantly, she drew a folded
envelope from her bag. As she held it,
frowning, Jerry could see the sprawling,
arrogant handwriting, all flourishes
and wide quick movement. "You can
read this" she said. And she added
meaningly, There r several more"
A few significant phrases danced on
the page as he read. The pomposity
Of the Handwriting made it worse.

she was keeping her nerve. you a

happen. He promised to send me
money at once And, of course, as soon
as my husband won his divorce, we were

before your cousin died."
Jerry saw her lips CULVER. He tried
to keep his relentlessness. But
phrases of that letter danced before his
mind.
Genevieve Chance smiled feebly. It
brought back the ghost Of her beauty.
II have told you because I thought you
could arrange things. I'd rather not
meet her. I'm breaking my promise to
myself, you see. You must believe that
it Is urgent"
Jerry found himself nodding. He
moistened his lips. II believe you," he
answered weakly.
She looked at him sharply. II have
been trying to buy a home. Next week
I am to lose all that I put in it. The
mortgage Is three thousand. Then I

"Ten thousand" said Genevieve

she arose. He hardly bowed to her

down again. It must have been a full
minute before he was aware Of Jean.

Margaret"
II didn't go upstairs. I was in the
next room. I thought there might be
something I should hear"
She stood beside him. He met her
eyes and looked quickly away. They
were narrow, shredly selfish eyes. He
waited for her to speak.

His answer came slowly. Hard? It'll

terview with Raymond G.
Twyeffort, Mems Fashion
Expert, for the Detroit
Times.
Her opening line is don't
worry about business this
Winter. This is an encour-
aging thought and appar-
emily the reason behind it is
that men are adapting more
color in dress. According to
Mr.. Twyeffort this will bring
back prosperity and keep
men young. Furthermore
"color will cheer men on,
pep up their morale, and
open up a billion dollars )
worth of new business as
soon as the National color
superstition is overcome
The expert points out that in
bird life the male is the more
colorful, why should not the
same thing apply to men?

ented and interesting daugh-
ter of Rep. and Mrs. Sol

sizes that this Winter men
