 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER XXX
 Neither Scott nor Dana referred to the quarrel - their first serious one-next evening. Both were sec- retly ashamed of it.
 A week later it was as though the episode had never taken place, But a slight film of doubt had settled over the faith that had been like shining armor, protect ing Dana. Scott, too, had received Q jolt in the realization that Dana was not the one perfect person In @ world of imperfect beings.
 For almost a month Paula left them entirely alone. Paula was spending most of her time with the Richardsons these days. They were seen constantly together.
 Dana believed Paula had finally given up her attempt to make Scott and Dana more social minded" had realized it was im- possible for them to keep pace with a crowd that spent money as though it grew on bushes.
 Most of the other couples in their crowd generally played bridge for not less than twentieth. When Dana and Scott were present stakes were automatically lowered. Paula played bridge a great deal, lost con- Eistently. Yet she was one of those who were bored when playing for low stakes.
 Scott agreed this must be the reason that Paula has ignored them lately. You mustn't worry if some of our friends desert" " Scott said. "As matter of fact, I'm turning into such a family man that I'm bored outside these four walls. Look what you've done to me in less than a year, Dana"
 "Perhaps I should call Paula and ask her to drop in some night this week." Dana said. Maybe she's offended over something"
 Suit yourself" Scott spoke shortly, "but I should think you would know there's no reason for her to be offended"
 well, I wont then," Dana said. And was relieved over the decision, for some reason.
 Honnie's father died during the month. Dana and Scott sent flow CTS, and Dana wrote note of con- dolence, receiving one from Bonnie in reply. Not long afterward, news papers carried 8 story about the will.
 Scott read the report. Its hard to realize there's that much money in the world he said. Here we are, stretching dollar bills and wondering where the rent is coming from, and Bonnie inherits $i0,000, ,000."
 He added thoughtfully, "Ronnie was pretty gone on you for a while, wasn't he?"
 For a while," Dana said light ly. Bonnie fancied he had an aw- full crush, but you know how rich boys are. Some other girl comes along"
 "Or some man comes along" Gc0tt, said slowly. land meSSes things up"
 Scott, will you stop being an idiotl" Dana seated herself on the arm of his chair and rumpled his hair.
 I'm thinking what a different kind of life you would have had if you had married Ronnie," Scott answered thoughtfullly. "No bud get. No computing living costs and wondering where you can cut some more. Just one long, luxuri- ous fiing!"
 "You think that would be nving?" There was scorn in Dana's voice She added lightly, Don't forget Ronnie didn't ask me. I'd have been an old maid, probably, if you hadn't come along"
 '"Yes you would!" Scott pulled her down into his arms, kissing her fiercely. Dana could feel his heart pounding.
 ''why, Scott!" she whispered with shaky little laugh.
 T swear to you, honey, we'll come through" he said. 'I'll prove to you I'm not just a big bust. Though, God knows, feel that way at times"
