Just make 1t clear that 1 am AFRAID
for my girl, if he goes so fast. And
tell him, don't you, that you, too
feel he is both foolish and unkind
to his bride to endanger her safety
as he so often does?"
''I do thing so, Mrs. Lowell, and
will tell him and ask him just what
you suggest. If he is offended, il
will be with me, not with you."
ooh, thank you, Tony. You've
lifted weight from my heart. OF
course, I have spoken to him about
this, lots of time, but that's just the
trouble. A thing you harp on like
that loses all power of persuasion;
the same subject brought up by
another has far more force"
eyes, but you know old Corey is
going - see through us. I'll bet he'll
say at once that you put me up to
saying it."
Call right, if he does. Tell him ]
did, and tell him that you want to
add your persuasion to mine"
"And I do. quite agree that he
has no right to jeopardize his wife's
life, whatever he may do with his
own. A married man has response
bilities that a single man need new
er think about"
every we'll Oh, here's another
thing, Tony. I've had to put you and
Corey in the same room. You see,
we didn't expect Pete and Bobby to
stay the night. We thought they
wouldn't come until tomorrow
morning. So we've been obliged to
double up. I've given you and Cor
ey Malcolm's room. It's enormous,
with the best bathroom in the
house. You won't mind, will your"
''Not a mite Seems a pity to turn
Malky out, though"
''No, indeed, he's more than will
ing. Don't you envy Corey?"
well, just do. Every man at the
wedding will envy him, married or
not! Now, Mrs. Lowell, is there any
thing else I can do for you? Any
thing about the ceremony? You
know that's what I'm here for"
'You know more about your du-
ties as best man than I do. Don't let
Corey drop the ring, and all that.
Now, go over there; they're looking
for you. And send Miss Latimer to
me, please"
"There's a peach! Who is she? I'm
mad about her."
"Shes a perfect darling Don't
ever take her away from me-
Tony smiled at her, and crossed
the room to where Jane Latimer
was gaily chatting the bridegroom.
Mrs. Lowell wants you, Miss Lat
imer," Gaskell said. 'Come back
when you can, won't your"
eyes, indeed" and Jan-ran away.
81 don't know how I'll get along
without Jane" said Perilla; 81 think
I'll have to have her when I get
back. May I, Corey, if can get her
from mother?"
''You may have anything or any
body in the world that I can get
for you.''
'Now that's the sort Of husband
to have" said Hilda. 81 hope to
goodness that's the sort I get!"
"You will have, if you take me-"
exclaimed Malcolm, who, as they
all knew, was deeply in love with
listers friend.
'Don't bother me about it today"
she returned, airily. GIVE one we'd
ding on my hands now, and I never
consider more than one wedding on
any one day."
Don't take it too hard, DEAR"
Perilla begged her. ''I'd hate to
have you overworked to bring my
wedding off properly. Are you let
ter perfect in your part, Corey? Or
shall we have a rehearsal?"
ooh, have rehearsal!" cried
Jane, who had returned to the
group. They're such fun"
"But not a dress rehearsal"
Perilla decreed. "Come on, and
dress for dinner now, and we'll
have the rehearsal this evening"
So they all went to their various
rooms. Maiden, however, did not
appear until Gaskell was ready to
60 downstairs.
eco along" Corey said. IT was
delayed talking to Mr.. Lowell about
some affairs. You 60 on, and if I'm
late they'll excuse me-"
