Tip ran away to call Joe, but Sally
still lay in the hammock. She did not
want Joe and Tip with them. She
had wanted to go somewhere with
Terry. for once. alone.
"Tired?" asked Terry.
Tired Of the office" said Sally.
Not too tired to dance"
Swell" said Terry. He leaned
over and kissed her, ruffling her
hair, as he always liked to do. 81

Sally. Nov that 1 have worked. /

That wouldn't be hard" laughed
Sally. '"Only-wouldn't you want

laughed. Il guess maybe that sounds
pretty serious"
Lets not be serious" said Sally,
rolling out of the hammock. She did
not like to admit to herself that this
picture Terry drew of married life
was not like her picture. Yet she
had always known that Terry thought
of women only as creatures to be
loved. protected and played with. She
knew that her own belief that every
woman should have a life and inter.

band, would shock Terry.
'One OF Us Might Change
YOUNG JOE MORRIS, son of old
L Joe. Warrenton's wealthiest citi-
zen. insisted on taking the four of
them to Chase City. where there was
popular roof garden. In vain they
protested the expense of the roof
garden. Young Joe had a larger all
lowance than he could spend and he
loved nothing better than spending
money on Tip, whom he had adored
since their early high school DAYS, Tin
received Joe's extravaganza and adj
miration as her due.
Dancing with Terry, Sally looked
UP at him and decided he was easily
the handsomest man on the floor.
She felt proud of possessing a man
at whom other girls stared with i'll
terest
Happy" questioned Terry.
Perfectly"
mot perfectly" said Terry. "Not
until we're married and on the way
to South America" Abruptly he
added. 81 don't like this waiting
around to get married and keeping
it secret Something might happen
one of us might change"
Sally laughed at him. "All the
more reason for waiting. if you're
going to find out you don't want me
after all. 1t would be so much worse
if we were married first and found
out afterwards"
Just the same" said Terry, 81
don't believe in long engagements"
1t was very late when they left
Chase City. They sang the whole
way home. and then Sally and Tip
said goodnight in whispers so that
Mrs. Warren would not wake and
look at the clock.
The next morning at breakfast Mrs.
Warren informed them that Philip
Page had called the evening before.
Just my luck" said Tip. 81 stay
around three nights out of the week
and nothing happens. but let me leave
and a good looking man comes to
call" =
He wouldn't have paid any at
tention to you," retorted Ray, her
twin. He spent the whole time talk
ing to Mother and Dad and most Of
it playing chess with Dad"
He seems to be a very fine man"
said Mrs. Warren. Coming from her.
this was great praise. for she seldom
approved of any of the men who
called at the Warrens'. He has
promised to find a place for Ray in
the circulation department of the
paper"
That's wonderful" Sally could nc.
be grateful enough to Philip Page.
Now Ray could help to earn his OWL
money for college in the fall.
Philip is very. much like his
father" said Mr.. Warren. 81 pred:c.
he'll make a success OF the paper.
He's put everything he has into ="
All the way to the Office, Sally re-.
joiced over the news of the break
fast table. Her father had found a
friend. and her young brother had
found much-needed job.
