knew he had purposely forgotten.
"Just what" he asked her coldly,

she whispered. That wasn't quite
true, although the impulse had been
of the moment. She glanced up at
him briefly. saw the anger in his
face, and looked away again.

you did it deliberately. and I'm
just curious to know what the idea
was"
She faced him. Her blue eyes as
she looked up at him now, were
dark with anger and defiance.
You'd just announced your-en-
gagement to her, and she was
trying to make a fool Of you'll" she
burst out in a low voice.
He stared at her for a moment,
color creeping up across his face.
What concern is that of yours?"
he wanted to know. He picked his
hat off the hook with q fierce ges-
ture.
1T was just an impulse. I couldn't

Gladys to say such things about
Court, even If they did seem to be
true. She wanted to believe at least
that Court was different under
meath.
Lets not talk about it any more"
Impending Disaster.
Court and his bunch didn't come
back into the Cozy Nook for some
time. April had gone and it was
May.
1t was the night of the Kappa's
spring dance that the crowd came
In again, a soft fragrant May night.
Cynthia, her dark loveliness &C
cented by a clinging soft rose chif-
fon gown, was beautiful. Court was
very handsome in the black and
white of his evening clothes.
Although 1t was very late, and
Evening star., 1941-05-06

ticed her yet. Court was saying
something that had quieted them
all. :
Cynthia, here, has promised to
marry me, after graduation-this
summer, perhaps. We're engaged"
We'll, say! This calls for a cele-
bration!" one of the crowd shouted.
Does this mean you're definitely
out of circulation, Cynthia?" Ricky
Sullivan asked. His dark eyes
smoldered as he looked at her. The
announcement had evidently been a
surprise to him and Mary felt
sharp stab of pity for him, and a
feeling that she was sharing his
diSmay and futility.
Cynthia Is Coquettish.
"Of course not. Ricky, darling"
Cynthia cried with a trill of
laughter. She tipped her head
coquettishly and slid one of her
nervous, grasping little hands about
his neck. She pulled his head
toward her and kissed him with de-
liberate slowness on the mouth.
Their eyes held. as their lips parted,
and the hush in the booth became
intense.
Mary Crews was aware of Court
struggling to keep the pain out Of
his face and unable to hide 1t In
his eyes.
And she did something then Of
which, afterward, she was terribly
ashamed. She set down a glass of
water in front of Cynthia so alb
ruptly that it tipped and spilled all
over the other girl.
Cynthia wriggled out of the booth,
her face contorted with anger and
contempt. Look what you've done!"
she cried fiercely. You stupid"
"1'm-1'm so dreadfully sorry"
Mary Crews stammered.
Court was on his feet also, flush
ing with embarrassment. Please,
Cynthia" he protested.
I'll have you f1red!" Cynthia went
on, in a loud furious voice.
The manager Of the Cozy Nook
hurried up.
1T was just an accident" Court
explained quickly.
Accident nothing!" Cynthia
blazed. 1T was deliberate!"
1T was all my fault" Court told
the manager firmly. I logged this
young lady's elbow, just as she set
the glass down" His jaw was set
in a resolute line.
Cynthia flung her wrap about her
shoulders. We're leaving at once"
she said. The rest of the group
rose from their places, uneasily,
and stragged toward the door.
They were all somewhat embar-
rassed at the ugly scene Cynthia
had made.
Court Demands Explanation.
Mary began to sop up the spilled
water from the table. She was
painting with nervousness and ex-
citement. Little beads OF perspira-
ton stood out on her forehead, and

he didn't"
Glayds, eyeing her companion
knowingly, picked up a towel and
dried a glass. You've been stuck
on him the whole four years we've

She sat the glass down firmly and
picked up another. And beneath
the snobbishness of him there's not
a thing that's real and honest"

four years she had been In moth

the hurry and confusion in the Cozy

AS If in response to her thoughts,
Courts cream and chromium road
ster slid to a quick stop directly
before the neon sign of the Cozy
Nook. In the fiery glow of the sign
Courts crowd piled out and drifted
In, two by two.
Gladys, the other waitress, sighed
and muttered darkly, Here they
come! Now we can do some hus-
tling"
Mary scarcely heard the words.
A familiar breathlesS feeling was in
her breast as she waited for her first
glimpse of Court. 1t was terribly
silly, and yet she couldn't help it.
''If it was any one but mel" she
chided herself fiercely sometimes.
But I'm so ordinary, so plain and
practical, that it's just not right that
I should feel this way about some
one who doesn't even know I exist,
and doesn't even want to know it!'
1t wasn't quite true that Court
didn't know she existed Rather, it
Just didn't interest him particularly
She remembered very we'll the first
time he had come into the Cozy
Nook, where she'd gone to work as
a freshman for her meals and book
money She had stared at him in
astonishment, while her heart
crowded into her throat.
"Why-aren't you Court Dollo-
ver7" she'd said at last.
Courts Memory Revived.
He had looked up from the menu
card, his dark eyes yelled with in
difference, and he'd smiled rather
vaguely.
Il guess you don't remember me-"
she began uncertainty.
I'm afraid don't"
She had made one more attempt
'I-we used TO play together every
summer when you came out to your
grandmother Dollover's farm. Re-

but still void of cordiality Il do
remember. Your name is Mary,
isn't it,, Mary Crews?"
1t had ended there. He spoke
pleasantly to her, of course, but
then he spoke to all the other
mattresses too. Oh, yes. she was
we'll aware by now that Court was
snobbish and that he was in love
with Cynthia Carter and that he
was going to the university not to
learn anything, but to have fun,
and because all his friends went.
But none of this mattered to Mary
Crews. She loved him.
She started forward now, to take
their order. She was always the
one to wait on their booth, because
Gladys seemed to understand how
1t was.
She could have reached out her
hand and touched the fine brown
softness Of Courts hair as she hesi-
tated there with her trayful of
glasses Of water. They hadn't no
