THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Don't you think It's about time we
went down 70 the old cafeteria
where they have the corned beef
and cabbage? or, II you'd like
something fancier, I might even be
able to manage that. Not too fancy
of course"
Toby's voice was regretful. I'D
like to Bill-but I'm afraid / can't
tonight"
Some other boy friend ahead Of
me. huh? You're certainly getting
to be a popular girl. Toby"
Il really do want to see you, Bill.
Call me again. won't your"
We'll, from where I'm sitting, it
looks very much as though 1 would.
And I hope to have better luck. So
long, Toby"
80 long. Bill"
She put down the telephone. Har-
riet, busily manicuring her nails,
looked up. WAS that the Bill you
introduced me to-" she asked. THE
one We met on the street that day?"
Yes. Bill Brandt"

thought. If it wasn't for Clyde

petition
"DnL'S one of the incest people
II in the world" Toby assured
her.
HIM" There may have been an
answer on the tip of Harriet's
tongue, but if there was, she kept
it to herself.
Clyde Sabin telephoned later and
then arrived at the apartment. He
wasn't at all the sort of person
Toby had expected him to be. In
the first place. he was older-well
into the SOS, surely. From Toby's
10 that seemed middle-age. Har-
riet was %.
Sabin was tall and broad-shoul-
dered and very we'll tailored. Not
at all handsome, but rather nice
looking And he certainly tried to
be pleasant. Toby thought perhaps
he tried little too hard. Maybe
that was the reason she didn't feel
at ease with him. She couldn't
think of any other reason.
Sabin repeated Harriet's invita-
ton for Toby to join them for the
evening. Let me call up Tom
Garside," he said. 81 know he'd
be glad to come along. Toms a
nice fellow, too. You'll like him"
But Toby made it plain that she
preferred to stay in, and when the
others saw she meant it they gave
up their urging.
THEY left finally and Toby went
i to the window and looked out
Dusk had settled over the street;
in half an hour it would be dark.
Already Manhattan's electrical
splendor was in evidence, though
Toby could not see it. Nearby
buildings, bleak, unlighted, closed
in about her. They assumed gro
teSque, mena cling outlines.
Toby turned her back on them
and walked from the window. Down.
stairs a radio had begun to play
a tune she had often danced with
Tim. The music was being broad
cast from some place where there
was gaiety and laughter, soft lights,
couples dancing as she and Tim
had danced.
A sudden sense of loneliness swept
over her. Why had she insisted on
remaining at home tonight? Why
hadn't she gone with Harriet and
Clyde Sabin? Or with Bill?
Yet she knew, even as she asked
the question, why she had not gone.
She was waiting to hear from Tim.

concerned with her own affairs TO
notice. ''Clyde's coming tonight
she exclaimed jubilantly. Il found
a letter from him when came
in. He's going to get IN town
about o'clock and he's coming to
take me to dinner. 1 don't know
whether to wear my green dress

vised. 1T makes you look as

But, honestly, I think it would
do you good. You've been IN the
mouse SO H1uCn ldG6ly.
II just don't feel like it Harriet.
I'd rather not"
We'll maybe your. change your
mind later" Harriet suggested. She
eyed her roommate uncertainty.
Something was the matter with
Toby; she hadn't been bit like
herself lately. Harriet suspected
it had something to do with Tim
Jameson. He'd given Toby such a
rush tor a while. Now he was gone
and Toby didn't seem to want to
talk about where he was or when
he'd be back. All she had said
was that he was out of town. Har-
riet was inclined to hope he was,
and that he would stay there. Any
one who made Toby look so miser-
able was good radiance!
1t was half an hour later that the
telephone rang. Harriet answered
and then lowering the instrument,
put hand over the receiver. Its
for you, Toby" she said.
For me?"-The words were the
barest echo of the song in Toby's
heart. Tim was calling at last!
He was home again and all her
silly worries and fears had been
for nothing. Oh, she had known it.
She had known it all along!
CHE took the telephone and said,
~ trying to keep her, voice as
steady as possible, Hello"
But it was not Tim who an
swered. For an instant Toby didn't
understand the voice on the wire.
She only knew it wasn't Tins voice.
There was a pause, and then she
heard herself speaking. She said,
trying to stife he appointment,
"Oh, Bill-how are yoU ,"
1t was odd that she haus t rec
ognized Bill Brandts voice. Only
she had been so sure-so very sure
it would be Tim. Toby suddenly
realized how long it had been since
she had seen Bill. Almost two
weeks. except for brief encounter
on the street. Until lately she'd
seen Bill two and three times each
week.
He said, ooh, I'm getting along
all right. How's Americas most
popular advertising model?"
Toby laughed. Something about
the way Bill said things almost al
ways made you want to laugh. st
really don't know, Bill" she said.
rs she an acquaintance of yours?"
I'll say she is. Toby Ryan, her
name is. Skinny little thing, about
as big as a minute. Maybe you've
heard of her?"
Never" Toby was emphatic. But
If I ever do see her, I'll remember
she's a friend of yours"

THAT'S right. Give her break.

way, how about giving me one? 1

andria and Fairfax companies
gained control
Virtually all Of the fire fighting
equipment from Fairfax and
three companies from Alexandria
responded to prevent the blaze
from reaching houses. Several

Taft's contention is tn It the

that cruises are already booked
by the hundreds and thousands
of people, whole hotels are sold
out in Florida, and the winter
resort season threatens to be
bigger and start earlier than
ever. Clothes are gay-cottony
lovely. The Dalmatian theme
lends itself we'll to beach
clothes, and nearly every ward
robe will have little bolero
jackets with shorts, banded and
bordered cottons. and so on.
Out Hollywood way or at Palm
Springs to be more exact,
there's a fad for wearing gaudy
cotton jackets over halters and
shorts. They're worn open
down the front, and belted.
Sometimes plain shirts are
worn this way, for variety.

WIFE IS OLDER
Dear Miss Fairfax:

OCnK NAASO II @A AOAs
Gas a constant reader of your
column, may 1 ask your advice?
A young man has asked me to
marry him. We have both been
married before, but the question is
I am 10 years older than he is.
He has travelled extensively, and
now wants to settle down. We
both love each other very much
and desire a home and children.
81 know I could be very happy
with him. but wonder if the diff
ference in our ages would cause
him to regret this step later on,
when he meets attractive, younger
women. "A READER"
Congeniality of tastes really
counts more than a difference of
ages. Do you both enjoy the same
things: Reading aloud, theater,
walking, helping around the home
and making it attractive. dancing.
card playing? If it's just a case of
fascination, 10 years difference
if the woman is older-might be
risky.
Disraeli was very happy with a
wife who was considerably older,
and George Eliot" England's
foremost Victorian novelist, was
happy with man more than 10
years younger. Bishop Pinckney's
wife is said to have embroidered
his christening robes. and Mary
land never had a happier couple
than the Pinckneys.
So, my dear, it all depends on
how congenial you are.

The summer sun is a tonic to
certain point; then it tans and
dries the skin so that little re-
conditioning is quite necessary. If
we have done this by having a few
good facials and a pack or two,
the skin will be in fairly good con-
dition, provided we have been
using our cream faithfully. but as
we know, we all are a bit careless
at times, so begin now and see
what can be done that may make
a marvellous improvement in your
appearance.
It IS not difficult to recondition
the normal or dry skin, but the
naturally oily skin is one of the

SHALL SHE ACCEPT?
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
II was so happy in my engage
ment to Tom. 1 knew he was a
widOwer with two little children,
but that didn't count, 1 cared so
much for him. He gave a beau
tiful engagement ring-a large
diamond, at least full carat, with
smaller diamonds on either side.
It looked to me as if some initials
had been rubbed out, but that
didn't count either
Last Sunday we went to my
Aunt Minnie'S to dinner. She was
a friend of Toms first wife and,
when 1 showed her my engage
ment ring, did she snort! She took
me to one side and said: That
was Elvira'S engagement ring and,
if a man can't buy a new engage
ment ring for his girl, l don't
think it promises much happiness.
He was very stingy to Elvira.' And
now, Miss Fairfax, that has
spoiled all my pleasure in my en-
gagement.
is IL wrong IOr a man 10 give
his first wife's engagement ring
to his second wife?
&C. NIX"
Not wrong, certainly, but it may
be lacking in sentiment and sug-
gest certain hardihood of tenn
permanent that might be difficult
for a sensitive girl to accept. You
can answer this question better
than I can.
I have known women to be
happy wearing a first wife'S
clothes. Other women find that
impossible. To which type do you
belong? Are you sensitive, or are
you more practical and not easily
impressed by these reminders of
your fiance's first wife?
