young and her blond hair hung about her shoulders

were Charles.
Before Charlie said a word she flung her arms
about his neck, crying in young, tragic voice

Hours had gone past uncounted and now
1t was midnight, whistles and horns, church chimes
and pistol shots and fireworks blended in the SYM
phOny which reached us from the diamond carpet

The cork popped nosily from the champagne
Charlie opened and we drank from bubbing glasses

our future together which actually to last only
a little longer, when our engagement

We forgot about time that New Years
Eve, sitting before the burning logs in his
rambling old house In the mountains En-
chantcd and absorbed in a world all our
own, we forgot that Rupert Hughes was
giving one of the most elaborate parties in
Hollywood history for us.
We scarcely touched the carefully pre-
pared dinner ON the little table by the fire,
where Charlie talked ecstatically Of the
future He would rush the building of our
home; he would take me to the Orient and
many strange and distant places on his

closed. This was love which would teach
me to understand the many-sded heart
of a man.
