CHAPTER XIX
 Dana looked up at Scott. Were going to be happy here," she told him.
 You've got the tense wrong, honey" he replied. we are happy here. Now I must dash, Dana. Do you think you can find something to keep you busy for while?"
 'With all that unpacking to dol"
 'T'll bring the travelling bags up.''
 After Scott had gone Dana set to work, her enthusiasm mounting. The area behind the paneling proved to be 8 small room with a window. The roll-away bed was there, and a large closet. Also a dressing table.
 The kitchen was not gloomy. It was bright. The sun was pouring fin at the window, and an extra brightness was achieved by light walls. The gas stove, like every thing else, was new. The kitchen cabinet was empty but there were shelves for everything and there was another larke packing closet in the hall.
 "I'll get some of that pretty enameled ware down town, prob- ably green" Dana unused.
 It was going to be fun shopping to equip her kitchen.
 T always wanted to be turned loose on a buying orgy in five and-ten. And here l am." Dana smiled to herself, thinking of the bills Scott had tucked into her purse on the drive in from the country.
 Re had said he'd probably need little change to start house-keep- ing. They had been rather large bills, Dana had discovered-much larger than he could afford to hand out carelessly like that.
 "I'll show him how long money can last" she thought.
 The packing didn't require much time, and, with her tour of inspec- ton completed, Dana was lonely. 'I1l do some of that shopping now" she decided irnpulsively. "I'll take 8 street car and have the packages sent out"
 Shopping was all she had antici- pated. Clerks entered enthusiastic cally into her mood as she selected kitchen spoons, sitter, measuring can, pans, baking dishes. It was surprising how much on small apartment kitchen could require. There was a big hole in one of the larger bills, but Dana told herself such purchases lasted for years and years. So many of the articles seemed essential to prepare the evening meal. She decided to take some of them with her and then have groceries sent out. Scott would be surprised to find dinner ready the first night in their new home.
 Dana came out of the store with her arms loaded, and almost bump cd into Bonnie.
 "The bride herself" Bonnie ex- claimed. His face flushed, but his tone was cordial. Let me carry the packages to your car," he offered.
 Dana read his amazement. She must look extremely un-bridelike, wearing an old dress she had put on that morning in the country. Her hand went up, mechanically, to tuck a wisp of hair in place.
 T came on the street car," Dana said.
 Bonnie made no attempt to hide his amazement. All the way from Magnolia street on the street car" His tone implied, What was Scott doing while you rode the street car?"
 Dana was sure that was what Ronnie was thinking. Mentally, she hotly defended Scott. Scott was a doctor, with patients to think of. Where would doctor be without his car? And Ronnie was only a rich boy with nothing to do but drive about and amuse himself.
 We aren't on Magnolia" Dana explained. Were close in, in an apartment"
 "IIl drive you hame," Bonnie said shortly. You can't carry that big package around on a street car"
 Dana relinquished the package with a sigh of relief. She had been foolish to try to bring things home, making herself looking ridiculaus to
