Rosemary.
But the outpouring forces couldn't be
stopped or turned aside.
'All the four years at college," continued
Bunny, "are like dream. All they amount to
is, l love you. They've been waste of time if
Il wish we had met some other way. l wish
you were girl on your fathers farm and a
machinery salesman or hired hand - just
man and you just woman"
Thank you, kindly" interrupted Rose
mary, but it was no use.
Il could see you alone then. could really
know you and you could know me. could
do something to show how care. Here we
are, dancing round and round and round -"
II can only suggest" said Rosemary that
we might walk up and down outside and cool
off,"
Hell" said Bunny. Stanley Harrison had
cut in.
who's the big blond brute?" Stan whirled
her off. 81 can't place him."
That was Bunny Cleaver," said Rose
mary strangely. IAN old friend"
The four year old date?"
e.. suppose so. He's an awfully nice fell
low, really. He hasn't been around much
lately. His fathers bank failed not long ago
in not very nice way and the man who was
to blame ran off - with Bunny's mother.
Bunny's being frightfully brave. He special
lied in chemical engineering; wanted to 60 IN
for special research work. Now that his money
is all gone -"
"Are you in love with the guy?" asked
Stanley Harrison sharply.
Il should say moi" Rosemary began nice
laugh that didn't get very far. She wasn't in
love, but laughing at Bunny wasn't just the
thing.
Because" mmmured Stanley Harrison in
her ear, I'm in fair way to take the tumble
of my lifetime and don't propose -"
What he didn't propose Rosemary didn't
hear, for just at that moment the lights went
from garish white to clouded blue What he
did propose was that they forsake the arti-
fetal moonlight for the real thing and take
spin in his car to. say, the top of the world and
look things over.
Six times Rosemary said NO, she couldn't
think of it. Then she said, why not?" After
all, she was leaving for Kansas day after
tomorrow and - why not, why not?
She snatched glance at her bright face in
the mirror of the dressing room. She snatched
her cape from the attending maid. She ran out
into the main corridor. Stanley started to lay
the cape about her shoulders. It caught on a
bit of wire from those forget-me-nots and
things. She looked piteously at Stanley. vib-
rant, eager, masterful, and saw Bunny Ceaver,
tall, blue-eyed, unhappy. She heard Bunny
saying, Hello, sweetheart" and meaning it
terribly. Her feet were nailed = nailed to the
floor. She shook her head.
Il can't" she whispered.
Stanley was furious. He said if she went
back to that fellow now, she was making
choice between the two of them.
Don't be ridiculous" cried Rosemary.
Its just this evening"
cts more than that. I'm older than you
are. know"
'Of course, can't help what you think you
know"
Choose, said Stanley Harrison.
There was no choice. Back in the gym the
lights went up. bright, and she was dancing
again with Bunny. He mmbled the words of
the silly fox trot tune above her head.
Bunny" said Rosemary sharply Il can't
stand it. You come outside with me this min
ute to nice quiet bench and tell me what it's
all about"
