Kay met Bob'S eyes, entreating his support; and he swallowed hard. "Why, right away" he told Pris- cilla slowly, not looking at her, still incredulously watching Kay.
 Tomorrow, should thinkl" Kay amended.
 "Then you won't be able to come to dinner Wednesday" Priscilla re- marked. "Too badl was just go- ing to ask you. A few friends. Goodbye, Kay darlingl I'll see you when you come home. Goodbye. Bobp
 She turned away; and Pat Nor- ris urged: What say, Bobl Let's drive down to Rawley's right now and look the boat over and decide what you'll need"
 Bob looked after Priscilla, who had gone to speak to his mother wonder, and his brow clouded an- grily. Then he turned to Kay as though about to speak. Her fingers pressed his arm beseechingly.
 Why of course, Pat" she said eagerly. There's time enough be- fore darki Get my coat, will you, Bob? Let's gol"
 When Kay first saw the little craft on which she and Bob were to be for days in such close con- pany, she had misgivings. It was so dreadfully small. Even on deck, room was at a premium. The cock pit aft was half filled by the wooden hood which protected an auxiliary engine against the weather. The companion led down into tiny cabin and galley combined as wide as the boat and not more than six feet long. Forward there was Q foc's'le, with two hunks, one above the other, on each side; and these hunks were narrow, and they merged into each other in the bow. A skylight in the deck gave some light and ventilation. The rest of the space below was taken up with cupboards and storage room; and the whole craft was scarce twenty five feet over all.
 Felicia saw the doubt in the other girls eyes; and she said reassur- ingly: There's more room than you'd thinkl You'll be as snug as kittensw
 Kay nodded and said, half-srnil- ing: "Yes, I should think we wouldl' And Felicia hugged her and whis- pered:
 We loved 1t, Pat and Il You will tool"
 This was late Sunday afternoon. when they had ell come togather to inspect the "Lark"; and Kay sought Bob's advice as to foodstuffs they would need, but he told her Abstrac-

 But when morning came, Bob was unable to do this. He had first to consult Doctor Fabre; and an emer- gency at the hospital somewhat de- layed him. Doctor Dakin offered Kay @ limousine and chauffeur; and 0enevieve kept her company, ad- vising this purchase and rejecting that and assisting in Q dozen ways. Later, when with the car well load ed they drove down to the shipyard, Genevieve closed the glass panel be- tween them and the chauffeur, as though she were about to say sorne- thing confidential; but she did not speak, and ct last Kay asked:
 Did you want to say something to me2"
 "No," oenevieve decided hesi- tantly.
 T know what you're thinking" i" Kay confessed. You're wondering why I'm going away with Bob. It doesn't look much like giving him up, does it2"
 0enevieve eyed her shrewdly, "What did PriS say to your" she challenged, and Kay nodded, her cheeks white with anger.
 That's the reason" she agreed. "she said-what everyone must be thinking, I suppose. Oh, in very polite terms, of course; but explicit enough for all practical purposes. ? Her head was high. T won't ever let her have him now," she whis- pered defiantly.
 "Thats how how much she wes really hurt" 0enevieve reflected. "But-do you think you can hold on to him9 Bobs hard to anchor, Kay"
 "At least," Kay insisted, "we1l stay married long enough to show her she's wrong about mel"
 "You don't have to prove that to your friends" the older girl assured her.
