with his car so he will drive us over to Newark. You know him, don't youp He's the youngest part of the copper fortune and darling, He'll take us. He'd love to-"
 
 The bags were transferred to Ronnie's car, Judith took her place on the soft-cushioned seat and rec faxed. Bonnie was tall and Broad- shouldered and tanned. He was cut from the same college pattern that the eastern schools modelled best. Plainly he was in love with Milli- cent, who leased him @ little, laugh- ed with him, forgot him.
 Judith rode along, listening to scraps of conversation, contributing sentences, trying not to remember that back there in the city of sky- scrapers and traf1ic the man whom she loved, found sanctuary with al- other woman.
 Now the car was passing through the gates at the Newark airport and beyond, the great ship, with its cabins lighted, waited. People were saying goodby. There was 6 prevail | ing air of gaiety She glanced up. There were no stars tonight. There would be more rain,
 She was hoping that there would be Q message for her from Phil ct the airport. There was none, how ever. Every time Q messenger boy appeared she waited for him to come to her. None stopped. Oh sure- ly the telephone would ring before 1t was time to leave the waiting room, and 1t would be Phil-of course 1t would ring!
 It didn't.
 Were taking of, Mrs. Irving the junior pilot told her at last
 "Thank you" She remembered to , smile.
 So Phil was going to let her go out of his life without e goodby, So simply as this, life could end. She drew Q deep breath, threw her head high as though 1t had carried Q crown and would do so again, and stepped Into the ship. The motors were humming. Millicent was say Ing goodby to Ronnie.
 Then-an attendant came run ming. Mrs, 1rvingl Mrs, Irvingl" he called.
 "YeS, here I aml" Even to her own ears her voice was shot with glimmerings of wild, glad color. Phil had not forgottenl
 She accepted the message and held the yellow envelope carefully as the ship glided down the apron and took off. Up, up, up. It had cleared the lower buildings. It was taking on ceiling. Now, the towers of Manhattan, at the side, swung out of the dark night and the golden lights that shone below were part of the yellow carpet that covered the world. She held the message tightly afraid to open 1t, For a moment 1t was sweet not to know the contents.
 At last she tore the flap. A wild terror seized her. suppose-it was not from Phil Anne knew that she was leaving and quite probably Mil- licent had conAded in Bruce. It was strange that Bruce had sent no farewell token or message. Quickly she opened the telegram. When she saw the well-loved signature her heart became quieter. She read: Darling, don't know how I missed you stop forgive me stop you are Q jewel stop phil"
 She did not know what she had expected that note to say. After oil, there was little that 1t could say. She felt let down and tired.
 She would go to bed. She put on her rust satin travelling pajamas, and stretched herself on the cush- ions, thankful that this ship had sleeping compartments.
 Judith slept and when the stew ardesS called her half an hour from Chicago at 5 o'clock, she arose quickly, dressed and evaded news paper contacts ct the airport. Word that she was aboard had spread. The plane to the west did not leave until i2 o'clock SO she and Millicent hadsa leisurely breakfast of orange juice, corn mullins with marmalade, crisp bacon and coffee. They were tired Of waiting long before noon, and relieved to be in the air again.
 The ship climbed higher and higher, through blue sky and sun- light, while small towns and rivers became part of 6 miniature world far below. Tea was served. Dinner. Night began. The plane was due in Reno at i0:37.
 The sky had grown rougher as twilight came and they neared the Rockies. Judith felt the upward mo- ton, Sensed the ship being caught in e gigantic wind, shaken like & leaf, and set back again. Her spiri
