Road To Romance

Mary. "Glad you lived through the
ordeal Of signing up. Didn't think
you would"
Fran said hello In the manner OF
an old pal, explaining that after
their long telephone planning this
morning she felt like a fellow con-
spirator. Ken's battered coupe
drove them to Frans tried-and-
true drugstore counter for break
fast. Then began methodlcal
combing Of the town, stopping at
apartment houses Fran had listed
as possibilities.
Several hours sped by as the
trio went from one apartment to
another. Finally Mary cried out at
the sight of a neat apartment
house shining under fresh coat Of
paint.
It'll be eighty-five If it's cent"
warned Fran. But they parked and
went in. On the third floor they
found it. A corner place with large
windows, freshly painted white
woodwork and-wonder OF Won
ders-a real fireplace!
Mary tried to keep her voice
casual as she asked the price.
"Fifty-seven," said the woman.
I'VE furnish water, gas and linens
and no noise after ten"
Fran made the down payment,
whispering to Mary that she could
throw in her share after her first
pay check.
Tired, but with an exciting sense
Of achievement, they stopped at the
Circle for spaghetti. Ken promised
to move them the next morning IL
they'd put a phone in right away.
Now" he added, Il guess we
can relax little" his blue eyes
twinkling humorously, although
maybe it's dangerous to drop out
Of this mad pace"
"Ill say this for H." Mary ad-
mitted softly. 1T seems TO sweep
in the people you need at the mo-
ment you need them"
Then she felt twinge OF guilt
as Ken's face lit with a hopeful
light. She had not been thinking
entirely Of him-but of a pair of
strong hands that gripped her
shoulders and shook them at a mo-
ment Of hysteria--of dark eyes
that could fash with arrogance
and swift amusement. Had he for
gotten her when he left her abrupt
ly at the cafeteria door and walked
into the darkness?
Today the tunnel didn't seem so
bad walking through 1t with Ken
beside her. He laughed as she de-
scribed her desolation Of yesterday
feeling Of lost identity in the
lunch-pailed crowd.
You wait" he promised. in a
week or so this place will seem like
home to US"
Home was never like this" re-
torted Mary, pointing to one OF the
many signs in the great plant eau
tioning workers TO guard against
sabotage-against giving out in
formation Il think they're Just
trying to scare US"
Ken's face was suddenly sober.
IAN right. go on dreaming, little
girl" he said quietly. But don't
talk in your sleep"

don't know about renting apart
ments."
IF you want to look around,
this is the morning we could do il"
Fran said eagerly. you see, sort
of limited we MIGHT like the use
Of his car-when your friend called
this morning"
MY friend" Mary's voice died
in sheer amazement. But I'm
from Omaha. I have no friends
herew Even as she spoke a tiny
spark Of hope stirred within her
he hadn't asked for her phone
number hadn't even told her
his name; but :.
The hope died as Fran continued.
He said his name was Ken Grant
and to tell you he was the guy
who waited in line with you for
two days-from Chicago me-
chanical engineer-and he got your
telephone number off your applica-
ton blank.
"Oh!" Mary remembered him
now. A nice young man, intelligent,
entertaining even in the maddening
routine Of signing up. She had been
so wrapped in her own disappoint-
ment and unhappiness at the time,
she had scarcely noticed him.
"So-unless you put the Indian
sign on It. the plan Is now" Fran
was saying briskly. he'll be around
in 20 minutes, take us out for a
snatch Of breakfast and then cover
some Of the apartment sites before
lunch"
Il couldn't" cried Mary. II
don't really know him."
Don't KNOW him" echoed
Fran incredulously. when he Of
fers his name, his pedigree and his
carl" She slid off the bed and added
in a quieter voice. Comes right
down to it, guess you don't know
me, either-well enough to take
advise from me. Sorry. Well skip
the whole thing. I'll be seeing you
around" She turned and started
for the door. But Mary called her
back.
Watt" Her futter of laughter
was an apology for her confusion.
Il think-it might be "a very
good PLAN" she wavered. only
where I come from-we don't make
up our minds so fast"
Fran whirled about with a grin.
IT'S fast age" she said. Il sug-
gest you hop out Of that bed and
dress while you cogitate."
Fair enough" Fran's brusque
friendliness was warming.
Companionship right now sud-
denly seemed infinitely more desir-
able than the introvertive loneli-
ness Mary had been enduring for
the past few weeks. She dressed
hurriedly, splashed cold water from
the corner wash basin over her
face, slid a comb through the shin
ing lengths Of her hair. An apart
ment-doing their own cooking
might be fun. She realized suddenly
she hadn't thought OF the possi-
bility Of 'fun" for a long time.
Ken was waiting for them in the
sunny street before the rooming
house. a sandy-haired young man
with light blue eyes and broad
shoulders. dressed In careless
tweeds.
Hi, fellow slave" he greeted

A quick knock broke into her
reverie and, without waiting, a
lanky blond girl in Stacks and SUM-

the door.
Good morning" Mary managed
In a voice divided between surprise
and Indignation.
The lanky girl shut the door
after her and soberly scrutinized

of red-gold hair cascading over the
pillow. Then her long face lit In a
twinkling smile of friendliness. She
tipped an emory board lightly

relieved sigh. well could be

Mary's surprise grew into appre-

blond girl laughed and approached

girl. I'm Mary Dexter"
Il Know" said Fran. And now
that we've had a formal squint at
each other, I'll get to the point.
How would you like to move out Of
this hollow and weather-stained
gold brick we're rooming in and
take an apartment together at
Long Beach,"
Mary gasped. "Why-why-"
Don't let me rush you" The
ianky girl settled down on the foot
