CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE

my DEAR" Wayne said that
ame evening to libby over the in
Innate little table in the roadhouse
where he had taken her to dine and
dance, why didn't you wear the
flowers I sent instead Of those
somewhat wilted violets? I sup
pose you purchased them from
some bedraggled old flower vender
out OF pity in your sweet young
heart I appreciate such thought
ful gesture, but I like to see you
wearing rosebuds or orchids when
you are with me"
libby glanced down at the vio-
let's pinned at the rhinestone belt
OF her black dinner dress before
she answered. And then she did not
answer Wayne's remark about the
flower vender. 1t had not been a
question, so she need not answer
It. Let him think she had pur-
chased them herself. She did not
know what had made her, at the
last moment, remove Wayne's
rosebuds, pinned on the dark fur
OF her coat, to substitute Tommy's
violets. The poor things were be-
draggled, because they had stayed
In their waxed paper until that i'm

/ but she wondered II he knew. too,
that he had said he would build her
house. A house was not home.
I'D give you the world, my dear,
IL you'd let me-" he added solemnly.
Have you thought things over,
libby? You know you promised
not to keep me waiting too long"
He had warned her that he would
not wait forever, but he was too
impatient to wait even a short
while. He did not really expect lib
by to give him an answer tonight
this soon-but he could not help
asking.
He was more taken by surprise
than she when she said, Yes. "Ill
marry you, Wayne" Just a simple
statement, yet one that settled
everything.
MY darlingw he said, do you
mean it," That was not what he
meant to say, either. 1t burst from
him in his surprise.
She nodded her head, for again
tears had brimmed up into her
eyes.
He reached across the table now
to catch her hands in his. you
don't know how happy you've made
me-" he said. He saw the mist In
her eyes now. unmistakable. He
was moved by them. He thought
what other girl would cry at a
time like this 1t Is because
she is so young, so lovely. Because
she is still uncertain, he could have
added, since experience gave him
such insight, but he did not want
to mar his own happiness by ques-
uoning hers.
I'm glad OF that libby said.
She wanted TO make someone hap
Ply. That was worth a great deal,
wasn't It, even IL she we're not so
certain as to her own happiness
yet? Because Of that, and because
she must be honest, she said, you
said that 1t did not matter whether
was absolutely sure or not You
do remember saying that don't
you, Wayne ?"
She did not say the blunt words,
Il am not sure that love you," but
she knew he would know what she
meant. She could not say them, not
only because she would not want
to hurt him with them, but because
she was not sure. Maybe she did
love him. Certainly she admired
him and respected him. She knew
he would be good to her. She was
not afraid, now that she had made
her decision, to trust her happi-
ness to him.
He said. Il remember. And It's
all right" He did not put II into
direct words. either. He knew, bet
ter than she, that she did not love
him yet, but he was Just as conf
dent that she would In time. He
would see that she did; he would
indeed try TO give her the world.
This made him think Of some
thing else that he felt he must tell
her, in order to be honest with her,
as she Just had been with him, so
that there would be no misunder-
standing between them. That was
the way It must be always.

HOLLYWOOD, May 10.
A mn SHERIDAN, Hollywood's
y "oomph" girl, has been try
ing powerfully hard to be domes-
tic since her marriage to George
Brent. But, so far, she and
George have lived like a couple
Of nomads-traveling back and
forth between their respective
bachelor homes.
When Ann and George eloped
in January, they somehow over
looked the fact that each was
possessed of home designed
completely for single blessed
ness. Not long before her mar
rage, Ann had put the finishing
touches on a new house which
had been made TO order for her
bachelor-girl status. And George
had taken years lease on
place At only for the occupancy
by a single male.
This aimless wandering occa-
sionally seems a little futile to
two people who are anxious TO
settle down." Ann says, "but we
do something about IL on week
ends and get away from II all
at still another residence. We go
down to Newport Beach and live
on Georges boat"

its credit 6,555 hours and a total

of 101 girls.
The organizer, Mrs. Margaret

the unit by the bank. Meetings
have been held there on Wednes-
day nights.
Mrs. Margaret Stewart knitted
and donated a white Shetland
wool shawl which was sold, and
the proceeds, $90.45, turned over
TO the Red Cross. Upon presen-
tation of the check the Red

keep the unit working and this
was done.
