Road To Romance

we really should go TO bed. but I'm
hungry as a bear. How about a
milk highball and a couple Of
crackers?"
Sounds good to me-" Mary
agreed.
The girls went into the kitchen
cite; Fran got out the milk whRe
Mary reached high on the shelf
for a box Of crackers, Mary sat
on a chair while Fran dangled her
long legs from the porcelain top
table.
There's really no place like
home" Fran sighed.
"And home isn't much without
you" Mary quickly added.
Fran started to make a wise
crack and then her eyes met
Marys. There was something shin
ing there that stopped her. A look
that was unfamiliar. a look that
she hadn't seen in a long. long time
Fran had come up the hard way
and there hadn't been much time ir
her life for sentiment. She had al
/ most forgotten in her daily fight
for existence that such things still
did exist as true devotion, ano
warm affection deeply rooted. She
remembered now that same look
in her mothers eyes the last time
she saw her years ago. She real
| lied for the first time how much
her friendship really meant to
Mary and how much Mary's friend
| ship had come to mean to her The
vast difference in the two girls had
| forged bond of understanding
that was new and thrilling to Fran.
She had seen so much of the other
side Of life. The cold side. the hard
side, the struggle to keep afoat
and still be decent and self-respect-
ing in a country where decency. II
seemed sometimes, was an out
worn virtue. The girls ate in ST.
lence. but Fran laid an understand
ing hand on Mary's arm. This little
| gesture, this touch, that a month
ago would have seemed silly and
melodramauc to Fran. now spoke
a thousand silent words.

After the girls we're in bed they
both lay with their eyes wide open
for long time, but neither OF them
/ spoke. Fran had found something
new in life that she had forgotten
existed, and Mary had found some
thing that was going to mean more
to her than anything else-the true
understanding Of a loyal friend
The sea was washing the shore now
with a soothing song that came
through the girls window borne on
the winds Of a perfect tropical
night Finally with the hrst gray
streaks Of dawn the girls fell into
a deep, peaceful sleep.

Mary couldn't help laughing. and
it seemed wonderful to have Fran

IL Fran had stayed away much
longer she would have been sunk
in a quagmire Of depression.

face, but she forced a smile.
