 CHAPTER xxIv
 Scott's birthday arrived at last. And Dana was ready for it.
 She had two surprises for him. She had invited three other couples in for dinner. And this time there would be no chance that anything about the dinner would go wrong During the past weeks her skill and confidence had increased greatly.
 She was having Sarah's dusky young granddaughter, Azalea, in to serve. Azalea would wear 8 crisp white apron and cap and she could wait on the table beautifully. Sarah had served quality" all her life, and her granddaughters were apt young creatures, well-trained In culinary accomplishments.
 So there wasn't a chance that anything would go wrong. This venture would re-establish Dana as a graceful hostess in her husbands eyes.
 An old, but becoming dinner dress had come back from the cleaners, rejuvenated for the occa- sion. It hung near Scott's new dark suit, which Dana knew, with Q thrill in her heart, would set off his handsome blondness with an extra air.
 Scott heard the first piece of news when he arrived home. Dana met him in an impetuous rush.
 "Your things are laid out in the dressing room," she said. Were celebrating your birthday with a dinner party"
 Great" exclaimed Scott. He seized her, kissed her squarely on the lips. "So you thought you'd surprise me with a party"
 And did!" Dana boasted.
 Scott picked up a big box he had deposited on a chair and started, whistling, toward the dress ing room.
 "what's in the boxp" Dana asked.
 Couple of shirts" he told her. A moment later he called, Look here, Dana, the alarmed cleaners have sent the wrong suit. This isn't mine"
 ''No?" Dana's voice was cheer ful. She waited.
 And then: "Dana!" Thunder and lightning in Scott's voice.
 she answered, walking to the door. @ little frightened dutter in her heart.
 Scott's face was white and stern. sThis is 8 new suit isn't it?"
 T didn't need a new suit. I won't have you buying clothes for mo. How do you think I feel when my wife wears her old clothes and then goes out and Jugs home 8 new suit for me?"
 And then all at once Scott made dive for Dana, lifting her high in the air for a moment. He put her down, crushing her slender body against him. Darn little idiot" he said, kissing her hard. Dana whispered, Please don't mind to much. I'll never do it again, if that's the way you feel about it."
 How'd you manage it?" Scott said, after 8 moment. "It's a swell suit and must have cost plenty" 1T sort of stole from the house. keeping money" Dana said.
 Hmm. Well, open that box, will you? See how you like those shirts I bought"
 Dana united the box and turned back the tissue folds. She stood staring down at the contents.
 "Scott, this isn't shirt. It's a blue chiffon dress"
 Realization dawned. Dana flung her arms around her husband.
 Darling goose. I didn't need it." T didn't need that suit, either" "How did you manage it?"
 Scott laughed. T sort of bor- rowed from the budget. I'm great budget fixer. Leave that to me" And how" Dana asked, "did you happen to buy this particular dress? I saw it in a window one day, and loved it."
 T know"
 ''How?"
