% Perhaps I do" He dropped her
hand and looked hurt.
Don't get sour An affair like ours
wears thin like a silver spoon"
~s"Or an old shoe" Palmer added.
He was being difficult now and she
had wanted to let him down easy.

you had been more elusive" she ended

I can't help it. I'm not elusive and
you'll always be sure of me. But best

He smiled Wistfully into her blue eyes.
-" ITS not as definite as that" she
demonstrated. But I wanted you to

Genevieve pressed the elevator but

back going out the doorway; saw the
young women's envious glances and
smiled to herself.
Stepping into the elevator. she went
up to her room She felt rather
mean about the way she'd treated
him, but sooner or later he'd have to
know, and certainly, if she didn't
want him, there was no use keeping
him dangling. What If she had had
her first date with hin-a corn roast
and she could still taste the sand.
Yes, and what II he had taken her
to her first dance at Highpoint Beach
Club What II he had taken her to
her first prom at Harvard. 1t still
didn't alter the fact that Drew Lil-
yard fascinated her.
Poor Palmer Genevleve thought as
she hung up her coat and hat in the
closet. He could learn lot from
Drew. Drew who kept woman in
terested by never letting her know
Just where she stood. Always leading
her on by making her think he was in
love with some other woman. Finesse!
That was it and Drew had it.
She didn't expect to hear from
Palmer, but Wednesday he called.
"Sorry I was such a sorehead the
other night, Genevieve," he said.
"Have dinner with me Saturday eve
ming, won't you?"

THURSDAY evening she had supper
