1T WAS that enchanting
L thing. an absolutely per-
feet New England Summer
day, and Dorothy Conderman
wanted to do something about
II.
Doing something about II
meant. OF course, shooting off
with Bridge In the new con-
vertible coupe his father had
given him as a graduation
present, Bridgeman Mapes,
who lived over on the next
hilltop.
Practically all the nicer
houses in Bentham Four Cor
ners were on hilltops. She
had fallen in love with Bridge
in kindergarten, had alter
nately disliked and adored
him all through grade school.
and, now that he had become
a man, had discovered him all
over again.
He had been home three
weeks now from college, and
the question in Dorothy
Conderman's mind-almost TO
the exclusion OF everything
else-was: Why doesn't he
ask me TO marry him?
She had no more doubts
now where she herself was
concerned. Her question had
a core OF excitement and i'm
portance beyond anything she
had ever known.
Because behind Il doomed
the next biggest thing in her
life: Her adjustment to her
mother. Would her mother
let her-could her mother let
her - could she force her
mother to let her-marry
Bridgeman Mapes?
HEART LEAPS
She stood on the wide
rambling old front porch and
her heart leaped when she
saw the fash OF Bridges car.
In another minute II would
be over here in front OF her
and Bridge pushing the door
open and inviting her in with
that pleasant slow somewhat
cryptic smile that was so like
her fathers.
For long time she hadn't
been able 70 figure out either
her father or Bridge. Had
felt that she either liked both
OF them better than anybody
else in the world. or else that
she was afraid OF them and
was never going TO he able 10
get close TO either Of them.
Her mother. OF course. had
had a lot 10 do with il.
"She lives your life for
you,r Bridge had said. And
Incidentally - she doesn't
like me. She thinks I'm
going TO want to marry you"
That was while they were
still in their early teens)
"And probably j am.
And she thinks that Just
possibly you might be willing
and she'd hate that, be-
cause she'd have to share
YOU"
"You don't know q darned
thing about her." Dorothy
had said.
II don't know her as we'll
as you do, but I see her In
better perspective. Do you
know that she doesn't like
your father ."
They had their first i'm
portant quarrel on account Of
that question: bitter one.
That she should lump them
together in her thoughts.
Bridge and her father. dated
back 10 a bright Winter day
when the two had stood side
by side bareheaded in the sun.
their faces turned away from
her at the same angle.

of the house and said some

Dorothy's father was rich
man. He owned two factories.
one here and the other in
Melton; so that he had 10
divide his time between the
two places. and he rented
little furnished house there all
for himself.
He had had II now several
years. Much of his real life
was spent there.
Tt's given me one of those

said. just as Bridges lovely

up the hill and stopped be-
side the two of them; had
she seen IL start?

Her mother went white.

that I've-I've really not had

NO" he said, as one started
on something who meant to
see it through, "but, look
don't you always do the same
things for them? The things
you just mentioned Couldn't
Christine do them for you?"
Christine was the maid.
The suggestion seemed to
snite the Summer day into
stiffness and to turn both the
women a little rigid. Dorothy

quietly. Couldn't Christine
do them for you?
