other and another-a red one and
a green one and an orchid one
filled with frilly white moons.
The face above the dark frock
was wistful and white when she
was ready. She outlined her lips
in brighter crimson. Then with a
last look at the quiet telephone,
she ran down the stairs.
Her artist was waiting. He was
considerate and merry and kind.
He liked her new dress and he had
a lot to say about his work. She
listened quietly. A girl always
could listen. She asked a few in
telligent questions.
They went on to place after
place. Caroline never had seen the
dancing at the Savoy up in Har-
lem, so they watched it for awhile.
A new night spot had been opened
by a stage parsonage famous at
the turn of the century, so they
dropped in there. Twenty-One, the
StorH club, the Iridium room, the
Versailles.
They became a merry-go-round
through which Caroline moved in
her dark and shining dress. She
knew only that she didn't want to
go home. But after a long time she
was so tired she no longer cared.
The artist did not talk much in
the cab. He had found some ideas
for illustrations for a society novel
and he was busy tabulating them
mentally.
He asked the cab driver to pause
at, a news stand and bought some
morning papers. In the dim light
of the cab he opened a tabloid.
Caroline gave a small gasp.
There was Linda's picture, the one
with her face looking high at stars
or birds flying. and the halo hat
on her head. So Linda's engage
ment was a surety now.
Somewhere a clock was striking
three. Life went on. went fast or
slow, all depending on the one who
walked the path with you.
She looked at the head on the
story. Then she gave a small cry.
This wasn't at all what she expect
ed to see. 4

But the clock struck nine and
nine-thirty and ten and Terry mac
not called. Suddenly she knew thal
he would not. Whatever he had
wanted, he did not need e now
She must not sit here and weep.
She must not pine. She must be
gay, gay, gay. She must laugh and
pretend that nothing, nothing ever
was important. =;

He had said that he would be

Well, she had changed it. She
leafed through the Manhattan dl-
rectory, found the number a n d
