CHAPTER XXI

Ann received orchids at the shop the following day. The satin box was tied with a wide ribbon. There was note enclosed.
 "I'm a little hay about last night but, if my memory serves me at all, I again owe you an apology. Forgive me for behav- ing like 8 clown. Let the posies tell you that I mean it." The card was signed, Steve"
 He called at o'clock, blithe as a spring breeze, cockily sure of himself. He invited Ann to go to the theater with him and, while she could see no harm in acccpt- ing, she hesitated. It would be fun to see good play, but not so much fun to see it with Steve. Now if it were Paul With the thought of Paul, she made up her mind. She declined and hurried on before he could argue.
 The flowers were gorgeous, Steve" she said, "too gorgeous for a working girl. Thank you for sending them to me"
 Did I, or did I not, owe you an apology?"
 "Oh, you were 8 little difficult" {"
 "So sorry"
 Let it go."
 All right, will. Now about a show"
 "No, Steve
 He was not accustomed to fem inine rebuffs. Say what's the matter with me? An I poison or something?"
 Ann could scarcely tell him that she was merely a new adventure to the bored Steve Claybourne, she could not explain that he only persisted in his attentions because she did not respond in kind, that he would not think of introducing her to his mother, that their paths werO 50 widely separated that they could never meet. So she said the obvious thing.
 T don't go out with anyone but
 That did 1t. He said, "oh, ] see"
 She said, "Goodby, Steve" and hung up the receiver.
 The weeks rolled on and Ann did not see Steve Claybourne again. She almost never thought of him. Her life with Paul worked itself into pattern. Each Sat urday night they dined together at an inexpensive restaurant and went to a moving picture show They were utterly companionable The slightest show of sentimen- tality was studiously avoided.
