delusions you'll just have to put
him right, that's all.
IT DID! Didn't you hear me
shouting I never wanted to see
him again? Or did I imagine
some of that nightmare?"
"Oh, THAT! He just thought
you we're hySterical-which you
were. OF course he isn't going
to give up right away! You
can't blame him for that. You'll
just have to make it little
palmer, honey. You'll have to
stop pretending that you just
don't want to marry anybody"

"All right, you don't. But
make it clear that in particular
you don't want to marry him."
"Yes, I suppose so. Gee,
I wish I didn't have to face
him!"
Well, it had to be done.
She met him, after dinner.
and they went for a ride, be-
cause there was no place to
talk in the house. And as might
have been expected, he drove
right out to the beach, to the
very spot where he'd asked her
to marry him and she had
well sort of agreed.
Mary give me another
chance! I won't rush you, dear!
I will wait forever. Just don't
pass me by as you have, dear.
I can't bear that"
Please, Milt, don't make it
hard for me. I've told you
how I feel. I'm just a natural
born old maid. You'll be glad
I didn't marry you."
Dear, you must leave that to
me, then. You will love me.
promise it. After we're mar
ried."
She closed her eyes. Now was
the time for it-she'd have to
do it.
Milt, I do appreciate your
asking me. It's-it'S a mighty
big compliment for a man like
you to ask a girl. But. L just
don't love you. II could never
marry you, Milt. Never!"
He started the engine. Then
turned it off again.
MARY, I can't believe it. I
refuse to believe it, Do you
mean that you'll never he any
thing to me, after-after all
our friendship"
He means after all te'I done
for her. all he'd spent on her,
all he'd promised.
She hardened.
I'm afraid not. Will you
take me home, pleaSe?"
It was really over. He wasn't
going to argue any more.
Life flowed back into her
body, warmth into her cold,
clenched hands.
They were almost home now.
-Four blocks, three blocks, two
blocks, and there was the house,
and the front door, and escape.
He opened the door with his
latchkey. It was still early.
The Misses Frick and two young
men were playing cards in the
drawing room.
"Good night" she said softly.
She meant, Goodbye"
But he said, Goodbye"
And she looked up, questioning
in spite of herself, he answered,
isn't that what you wanted?
I only want to please you. My
life is finished unless you will
share it with me. I don't care
to live without you."
"NonSense!" she whispered.
''You know you don't mean
that"
His protuberant blue eyes
gliStened, grew moist. "Yet, I
dol"
NONSENSE! Goodnight"
Goodbye, my dear"
She ran up the stairs.
Margot, curled up in the arm
chair. looked up from her sew
ing. Lose him?"
"T certainly hope so. I made
it plain enough. He didn't take
it very well, though. Says he
doesn't want to live without me.
What's that mean. do you sup
pose?"
Suicide" Margot answered,
biting off her thread.
"Oh, don't be absurd!"
I'm not. I'll bet you my

two imitation coral bracelets
