though it were of great imPor-
lance what one ate.
The young man, whose name
was Phillip Kirby, drew up a
chair and chatted with her at tea
time. He was an electrical engl-
neer, Just back from the Pampas
where he had been assisting in 4
bridge construction job. He was
big. not handsome, but well-built.
His hair was rough and dark and
his eyes were strikingly blue
against the Drowned face. When
she looked away, Marcia tried 10
imagine that it was Bob who sat
near her - Bob whose hair was
dark also and whose eyes were
olue-BOb who would have Gov
cred her hand with his, and made
ceremony of dropping Jumps OF
sugar into tca-cups - Bob whom
she had left waiting for her in a
room all sweet with palms and
flowers and music.
She thought about him as she
dressed for dinner. Dusk had
swept the sea Of all color and
Marcia was lonely. Maybe she
could have made him love her.
That thought made her weak and
she sat down to consider it. To
! have had a chance and tossed it
away - to have seen a spire in
| paradise and refused to believe
that a whole city of turrets waited
beyond. D..
"Stopw She stamped at foot in
a fragile golden slipper. Bob was
probably driving along the Long
Island bay tonight, with a white
moon in the sky, wash of waves
against the shore, and somebody
who might be Sylvia or anyone
else at his side. Bob would get
over it. - "What does it matter
whom | marry?"
She wanted to sink back on the
bed and cry, but she didn't. In
stead she went down to dinner;
a slim, graceful figure in gypsy
skirted dress made of layers OF
gold and brown mousscline, with
a bodice Of gold, and half dozen
golden bracelets dangling 'on hel
arms. This night, when the trum
pet and the clarinet and the drums
swung into it, she danced, too.
Marcia laughed lightly as she
went from one pair of arms to an
other. She knew that the mer

She was heartless in their eyes

She had insulted their sex. They
wanted to punish her, but they

Phil. He was steady, reassuring
gay, and kind. She was glad when
he cut in.
There were acres and acres in
which to stroll on the deck. There
were squash courts and there was
a swimming pool; there were
! lounges and salons, and the sun
shone on bright blue water all the
way. More than once, Marcia
thought that she migth forget il
time. More than once she re,
minded herself that she couldn't
forget-that people couldn't rur
away from anyone who had set VI
residence in their hearts.

Pink eye" Marcia murmured.
Il hadn't thought of that
Don't think you can escape
the public, Marcia. The story
came over the radio-it's in the
Ocean News ard the whole
ships buzzing. Tell me-why did
you DO it,"
What did the paper say about
it," Marcia cOuntered.
Mrs. Jameson went on asking
questions and Marcia went on
lodging them as though they were
arrows shot from a vocal bow.
When she saw girl and two men
coming down the deck she wished
that she knew them and could ask
them to rescue her. One of them
was familiar. at that. A bronzed
face. long legs-the man of the
elevator, Hardly knowing that
she did it, Marcia raised her eye
brows imploringly. Then she re-
membered that she didn't know
the man. He was equal to her
request, though. He excused him
self from his companions, stepped
up, hat in hand.
GOOD morning, Mrs. Jameson.
| didn't know you were on board.
I'm sorry to intrude. Miss Gun
nlnrham, can we interest you in
some deck tennis? Or would you
prefer to throw Quoits?'
You can" Marcia answered
determinedly. You won't mind,
will you, Mrs. Jameson? Deck
sports are one of my chief rea-
sons for taking sea voyage"
When they were out of ear shot
she laughed softly. "Did you take

were sure and slow. 81 happen to
know Mrs. Jameson
The morning went faster than
she had hoped it would. There
were a few people on the ship
whom she knew casually. They
were polite but curious. She be-
came aware of the eyes that
watched her, the voices that stop
ped when she came near. She felt
her cheeks burn and her eyes
smart. After all, if she wanted to
walk out on her wedding, it was
not the whole ships business. She
became defiant and threw the
quoits so expertly she won the
set.
She wondered what the people
would do if she should suddenly
announce that she was sorry she
had run away, that she loved Bob
and Bob loved lots of people!
Only of course one didn't do such
things. One tossed ones head
high, put on a prettier dress, and
had tea served on the deck, drop

laughed with a sense Of lessening

They sat in their chairs, watch

watcr save when the lightning

"Camilla?" Marcia took up the
theme.

"And if it's true?"
"I'H drop out again. I'm due

Suddenly Marcia wished that
she was due somewhere, any
where.
AdecE steward came by, call
ing Phips name. "Radiogram for

Marcia sat quietly, while he ex-
cused himself and read it by the

weak and tired, as though it could
be moved only through supreme
effort. Yet if she stayed in bed
she would think.

Half an hour later, dressed in
a yellow flannel sports frOck
whose bic wooden buttons match
ed the brown of her polo coat and

dining room and sat down at her
place at the first officers table.
She was late and only two or
three diners remained. She had
sent a cablegram to her family
and had paused to watch the sun

with rose-shaded lights and rose

room had been prepared for the
brief and gala entertainment or
the wedding party and its guests
before the boat sailed.
There had been no wedding,
no wedding party, no guests. NO
bridegroom. She went into the
bedroom and sat down on one o.
the twin beds whose silken sheets
were so carefully turned back.
A maid came in and offered to
unpack. Marcia watched her for
a minute. Then she took off her
hat, ran a comb through the tawny
curls, powdered her tilted nose,
and outlined her lips with deeper
red. She put on her hat again and
went to the quarterback. Lean

ing from another deck where peO-
pie danced their way to sea, she
watched the skyline beyond grow
small in the dark distance. The
white buildings whose lights had
made the night bright for & long
time faded at last. A wind came
up and with it there was a touch
of rain. She began to walk,
around and around and around the
deck. If she could grow tired she
might be able to sleep. The o.
chestra had burst into swing
