Sally thought it was rather
odd. the day after that near-aecl-
Gcnt that Dan did not telephone.
or course ne had sent his excuses
for not rcjoiniug the party
through Corey. But Sally rather
expected him to make them IN
person.
She kept listening for the phone
hoping each call would be one
from Dan. But the day wore on
without this hope being realized.
pcrhaps he would wait and come
ont 10 the house in the evening.
But the evening, which seemed
longer than usual too, dragged by
and Dan did not put in an ap-
,,aororcp Sally still felt de-
pressed. -..u.+
The following day, somewhat
reluctantly. she kept a luncheon
appointment in the city with
Babe. though only after leaving
strict instructions at home to
have every telephone call marked
down that came in for her. BABE J
wanted TO look at new fall taSh-
ions which were being temptlnglE
DISPLAYED. even though the late /
August sun was still so persistent /
in shops and windows. Sally /
mind was not on such trlvohtleS; /
She was anxious, only, to return
home for fear Dan might have
selephoned during her absence. /
She thought once or twice OF
calling him, but she did not like
TO call his office. If there was
no message from Dan when Sne /
got home she decided she would
put pride aside and call him at
his cousins.
"Were there any calls for me, .
AHson?" she asked, even before
she had pulled off her white hat
and shed her gloves and purse.
The maid replied that there had
been two calls for Miss Blair.
"Yes?" Sally said, her heart
lifting eagerly. Was one from
Mr.. Reynolds" Oh, dear. why
hadn't she stayed home, instead
of going shopping with Babe!
'Did he leave any message, ALI
sop"
'Tm sorry, Miss" Alison re-
turned. for she knew by this time
what young man her young mis-
tress was most interested Ill.
Both calls we're from Mr.. Por-
ter. He said to tell you he would
be out this evening right after
dinner. About eight-thirty, | be-
lieve he said, Miss Sally"
O "Are YOU sure there wasn't any
other CALI" Sally persisted. That
lift had let her heart down now
completely. !
"Yes, Pm sure, Miss Sally. l
took all the calls, myself, just as
you asked" AliSon'S look was
family reprcving. Her young
mistress ought to know her orders
would be carried out faithfully.
That's all right, thank you,
Alison" Sally made up for that
moments doubt by a sweet smile
of apology. But she just could
not believe that Dan would not
have telephone her. Probably
because she did not want to be-
lieve it. She asked the maid to
run her bath, slipped out of her
street clothes into cool negligee.
She would get freshened up and
choose one of her prettiest frocks
for this evening. Not because
Corey was driving out. But be-
cause, even though he had not |
telephoned, there was still the
hope, that Dan would come out, |
too.
But no, she would not-cOuld |
nOt-wait or hope any longer.
She would put in a call at Dams |
Cousins house. She asked Alison |
to lay out her things for her, the
cobwebby silk and lace under
things, the lovely coral organza
frock with it's rows and rows of .
tiny ruffleS. Once Dan had told |
her he thought she looked more |
like; princess than ever in that |
lovely dress. She wished, though |
