The nub of it is that Representa-

Nevertheless Representative Casey
voted for 4 continuation Of the Dies
committee. He continues to think
that there's un-Americ2niSm to be

Americanly investigated.
Remember-he was for the Dies

wasn't for the committees methods.
Antilles Groups Mistake.
The anti-Dies groups capital mis-
take was in trying to prove that Re-

They produced documentary evil

self into a chair.
But, on second thought, Romany
decided things weren't as black as
they seemed. If Cholly didn't care
for Dover, she wouldn't refuse to
talk about what had happened,
She hadn't wanted to talk about
Terry after breaking her engage
ment with him. And if Cholly
hadn't sent Dove away angry, II
she meant to go on seeing him,
there still was hope he would ask
her to marry him again and she
would break down and say yes.
Romany knew she couldn't keep
Brent Nelson from proposing much
longer. He'd been on the verge sew
eral times, and she had managed to
avoid the issue. She cighed. Won
dering what she would say when
the time came. What would be her
answer?
Surely he was everything to be
desired in a husband Handsome,
kind, successful. Conservative with
his money, but with it. all generous.
True, Just a short while before he
had thought he was in love with
Myra Noyes. But it was easy for
men to be taken in by the wrong
kind of women if they were daz-
Zling and clever. Brent had said it
was lone of those things" He'd
made up his mind it was time to
marry. and that he had never ex-
pccted TO meet anyone with whom
he could fall in love in the good
d~fashioned way.
Certainly she and Brent were
congenial. She had never been
bored a second with him, even when
they sat and talked for hours.
Romany doubted seriously that che
could ever love anyone with the
passion and depth she had read
about in books. Cholly was that
type-the sort who ached with af.
lection. Romany couldn't possibly
see herself being hurt very deeply
by any mans lack of affection, OF
his neglect. She intended to marry,
of course. But she was smart
enough to be practical about it.
Into her thoughts came Baxter
Tree. and she stirred restlessly. 1t
had been days since she had even
caught a glimpse of BaX. When she
called to invite him to dinner a
week before, he'd said he was
working on a short story and must
finish it in a hurry. BaX had prom
iscd to call her back, but he hadn't
done so.
Was it because Bax had no
money to take her out? Or had he
iust decided he didn't care to both
cr about her? 1t could be because
of Brent Nelson. q
If BaX hadn't called OF dropped
in for any of those reasons, except
lack of interest, it was silly OF
him. Romany made up her mind

Dove dropped his head to her lap
y Alma Si0ux-SCAFbZrr,

Dove dropped his head to her lap
again.
"Cholly, if you'll tell me you
don't love anyone else 1 think it
will be much easier"
She said slowly, as though she
were trying to make sure:
"I-don't lcve-anyone else"
He sighed, relieved. Then he
raised his head and took her two
little hands and kissed them.
II won't ask you to marry me
again. Maybe for a whole day or
two. But In not going to believe
you v'on't-some day"
Her eyes slowly filled with tears:
"You're-so sweet, Dove. So
kind and good. Just be my good
friend and let things always be as
they are now"
He reached up and kissed her
fercely.
You precious child! Do you
think I'm made of Wood?"
Il wish you WERE" Cholly
laughed shakily. Il wonder where
Romany is"
Does she always run out and
leave you alone with your spon-
sors?" Dove grinred, running his
hand through his hair.
"Invariably."
ChOlly was relieved that Dove
apparently meant to change the
subject
Dover raised her chin and looked
into her eyes. When Cholly dropped
her head, he said thickly:
II love you! I'll always love you
And as long as live therell never
be anyone but you. Whatever you
decide. sweetheart, always rcmem-
Der that"
Wien Romany returned from her
long walk, Dover had gone. Cholly
was sitting in their bedroom, dry
eyed, staring out the window.
What cid you tell Dove? Rom.
