| nap before dinner. Mr.. Sembler Is
coming to see us tonight and We
don't want to be all tired out"
Kit slept easily. falling off into
the light sleep Of convalescence.
She woke suddenly some time later
and found that she was trembling.
She wasn't quite awake as the
awareneSS of her trembling fright
ened her: she remembered her
dream. She felt the weight of her
suhconscious depression. She had
dreamed that she was alone in her
apartment and she couldn't get out,
none could get in to her.
The summer twilight came into
the room through the windows and
the Girl fastened her gaze on the
reaSsurins view. clinsing to the
movement of her present security.
Someone moved in the doorway.
She turned and saw that it was
Jerry.
Jerry" she cried out to him.
He came to her swiftly, putting
his arms around her. She tremblcd
in his arms. He smoothed her hair
tendcrlv. It's all right, darling.
Whatever is the matter, I'll make
it right"
It seemed TO her then, with her
head against his strong young
shoulder. that Jerry could make
anvth;-~ :'-,'' GO Gag to him.
The nurse ratified the china on
the trav in her hand. so, we have
COMPANY" she said cheerily, pre-
tending not to see them draw apart
from each other. She arranged the
trav on a bed table and tucked a
napkin under Kits chin. Can you
imagine what our patient said to-
CAV. Mr.. Sembler? She says she
doesn't want to go home"
That's because I'll miss the
view" Kit told him. i've grown to
love the country"
Later. when the nurse had left
them. Jerry said humbly, Kit, you
can always have the country. I'll
build YOU a house wherever you
want it if you'll marry me-"
Jerry
~ didn't think it would be this
way when we first knew each
other. l never really wanted to get
married. But now l do. You're in
love with me. but you haven't found
it out yet. You'll discover it when
we're married. 1 want you to
marry me right away"
She shook her head. I'm not in
love with you, Jerry"
We've always eot along to-
gether. You won't have to work
any more, Kitty. We can play for
the rest of our lives. If we 60 on
as we have, I'll be satisfied with it
that way"
IF you're satisfied with it that
way, Jerry. III marry you when
ever you say"
Fran lowered the venetian blind
to shut out The hot July sun and
moved a SMALL lever that started
the electric fan on her desk.
"That'll make you feel better"
she said to the detected figure of
the press agent sprawled in the
corner chair.
His eyes remained closed and he
spoke in the voice of man tried
beyond all endurance.
In all my experience as press
agent, in all my dreams of the Per-
feet Situation. nothing like this has
ever happened before, and what
happens?
Fran concentrated on the letters
her secretary had brought in to
her; there was no reason for her
TO so on arguing with Ferris.
There was nothing he could say
that she hadn't heard in the past
hour.
She signed tie last of the letters
and said, Why don't you use the
story I'm giving you? 1t isn't every
sponsor who'd give star a sable
wrap to replace the one the mob
tore Oft her back. Honest to good
ness sable, Jimmie!"
Ferris groaned. she says I
should write about a present from
