AT least you're very loyal"
There was an edge 10 Sylvia's
voice.
The moon had come up. and
now was pouring silver flood
over the pier where Sylvia and
Jack stood looking unhappily in
TO each Others eyes. There was
no cnchantmcnt. though, FOR the
two. They began walking slowly
toward the house.
THE lake is spooky at night"
. Sylvia said Her voice was stiff
with pride. Those cypress trees
look like ghostly old men dipping
their long. thin arms into the
water You're right. 1t would BE-
much more cheerful inside"
! AT least two people were glad
when the house party was over.
Mrs. Wentworth and Jill
The former realized the party
had been failure, so far as her
own matchmaking plans were
concerned. She was sure, how
ever. that no real damage had
been done TO Barry's romance.
Jack and Sylvia had been thrown
together only one day. When they
returned 10 New York and he
learned that Barry was seriously
interested in Sylvia. he would
step aside. Soon Sylvia would
forget the exciting rescue, and
turn to Barry again.
Meanwhile. Jill was congratu-
lating herself that, somehow, she
had successfully forestalled one
of Milo's inevitable proposal.
She was glad to be back in town.
Now. she would brush up a bit
on the happenings in the art
world.
There was Elise Woodwork,
who had sailed the debutantic
seas with her two seasons back.
Elise had turned definitely
"arty." Once. last year, she had
accompanied Elise to one-man
exhibition of pictures. The young
man "a newcomer 80 had been
sponsored by a rich, elderly wo-
man. whose name meant crowds.
Jill remembered that Elise had
said: When rich old ladies get
tired Of their Pekingcses, they
attach some poor young musician
or artist. and pull him around by
leash for n while"
But Jill couldn't picture her
cool. proud young artist being
pulled about and shown off.
And then. jill had an inspira-
ton.
She would call Patty Ralston.
Patty. who had swooned with de-
light over everything from the
newest tennis idol to the latest
long-haired idol smasher, in col
lege days. had at last got herself
tagged author" and was doing
book with an art colony as a set
ting.
Patty's friends were not only
authors, they were designers. dec
orators. and artists.
She would drive across town and
see Patty. who could always be
counted upon to speed life up.
if il ever ran down.
Pattv-a thrill chased up and
down Jilrs spine at the mere
thougEt-might have heard of
some one-man art exhibits!
