worn her white dress again, as
Wayne had told her it would be
formal with reception afterward,
but the artist had been a celloist
and libby could not appreciate his
music as much as she should. since
she honestly preferred juke-box
variety, even If it was not nearly
so cultured.
Wayne occasionally still took
Steena out. too. sending his chat
feur for her, as he always had.
That was all right, because Wayne
was free agent, as he proved by
dating as many girls as he liked.
No doubt also he had other friends
among his own social set. However,
libby did not 60 out any more
with Tommy. She told herself,
fiercely, that she wouldn't have,
even had he asked her-which he
did not. She had seen him a time
or two, exchanging only the most
stilted commonplace remarks,
when he called for Steena. After
the first few such encounters, Tib-
by took care to live up to the orig
inal agreement, made by Steena,
that if one of them had a caller. the
other two were to keep out Of

CHAPTER TwENTY-sEvEN

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN
THAT WAS the way it was after
hat first time that Tommy dated
Steena, behind Tibbys back, as she
persisted in thinking Of it, although
she had insisted so loftily that she
did not mind-from then on Tommy
continued to date Steena, while
libby occasionally went out with
Wayne.
Maybe it was the retributive JUS
tice Marg had talked about, when
she had said 1t would serve Steena
right-for helping herself to lib
bys uniform that time-if libby
helped herself to Steen.s boy
friend, but if so, 1t was a double
dose, for Steena apparently was
helping herself to Tommy, although
that was different, since libby did
not care.
Since she did not care. 1t was
peculiar that libby should feel so
resentful at some Of the smaller
incidents connected with this new
arrangement, for instance. the fact
that Tommy phoned Steena nearly
every day, as If when he could not
see her. he simply had to hear her
voice in order to get through the
day. He had never, in the old days
when he had been going with lib
by, wasted his time or his precious
nickles in that way. Nickles were
only small portion OF the rush he
was giving Tibby's roommate; be-
fore long, flowers began to arrive,
If not by the carload, at least In
astonishing profusion. They were
all for Steena from Tommy. Even
Marg complained that the apart
ment smelled so like a funeral
home. Tommy never had, as far
back as libby could remember,
sent her flowers. He was not the
flower sending kind. That was
what made it so astonishing, "a

necessity, was a bit thrifty. Al

bit resentful under such circum.
