said, II guess you have"

Kit shook her head.
because you-you're a working
girl, but you aren't common.
You've got a purpose in life, but
you aren't a go-getter. You have
a career that means a lot to you,
but you don't bore everybody to
death talking about it. I know
what that career means, Kit, and
that's one of the reasons why I've
fought for" He broke off, looking
embarrassed.
why you-what, Jerry?" She
was quietly insistent.
Jerry lowered his lids over his
eyes and toyed for a few minutes
with his lighter. "I'll explain that
later-maybe. What would y o u
say if I were to tell you that it was
because of you, and only because
of you, that I made Dad let me
take over the radio end of our ad-
vertising?"
Kit felt a chill of premonition,
but she refused to let it show in
her face. Deliberately she forced a
b~antering note into her voice and a
wide, frank smile of comradeli-
ness and said, "I'd say that you
were making up a speech to make
me feel good and that I couldn't
possibly believe a word of it."
"You would, would you? well,
maybe I could prove it,"
Maybe you could" she said
sagely. But, Of course! This was
the moment she had been waiting
for. !

Ter diners were muted, and soft
stains of music floated into the
room from the landing on the stair
wav where a stringed orchestra
played.
Jerry ordered a perfect dinner.
When it was over, Kit said,
Jerry, I think the time has come
to talk about other things than
sealing wax and kings. Things
we've both put off talking about.
We've been putting them Off ever
since I went to yolsr office Mon
day."
"You drove business out OF my
mind completely"
Nov I'm bringing it back" she
said, smiling.
when you get excited, that lit
tie bird in your hair wiggles. It's
a dove, isn't it?"
Kit bit her lip and struggled to
keep her impotence from showing
itself. She said, cts a dove. A
talking dove, so be careful what
you say. Consider it my chap

Jerry laughed at her nonsense.
It's cute. But 1 won't swallow that

"Really?"
"Yes, really. Kitty, I not only
like that little bird, but I like
what's under it, too"
She laughed at him. Nov, who's
kidding?"
His face was serious with the
impressive seriousness of youth.
I'm not kidding, Kitty. You're
exactly the kind of a girl I thought
you'd be-"
A chill ran along Kits nerves,
because he had said something
that reminded her of another face.
She saw it in the amber bubbles
of her wine glass. 1t was Vance's
face, and his mouth was saying.
That's funny. When I first knew
you, I thought you yer different.
