wasn't keen on it when started, but now -"
he broke off, went on eagerly: Il suppose it
would be asking too much for you to take the
afternoon off,"
1T is my afternoon off," she admitted.
1t was nothing short of miracle, she thought,
that it had happened that way.
Then we can walk through the park"
He beamed like small boy.
She thought: He'd like to have me invite
him to my home: he's the sort you would in
vite. He's starving for a fireside and home
cooking. ,Oon't, though -"
When they came out of the confectionery
it was raining - the slow sort of rain you
could tell had set in for the day.
Il suppose we could flip coin to see
whether to stay here until they throw US out,
or 60 back and sit under the SILENCE sign,"
he said. I'm movie couldn't look at you."
I'VE could go home" There! 1t had been
dragged out of her.
Swell! If it will be all right with your
family - they won't throw me out?''
mo - they won't throw you OUT
There was one last hope, a bare chance that
Sarita might be at the surgical dressings
rooms, though Tuesday was her day; bare
chance that Joan would be on Motor Corps
duty.
On the way out in the bus - she hadn't
let him call taxi - he said: IF don't have
to go back to the hospital first thing in the
morning. we'll take that walk through the
park. You'll take day off, can't you?"
I'm see what can d." Laurie said She
thought: IN do it, of course. believe this
is the most important thing that has ever
happened to me-" She felt light-headed.
/ kaosr this is it, she thought.
! HE Allen family was at home - en- n'asse.
Even Mr.. Allen had knocked off early from
the bank because he was coming down with
a cold. He seemed to dismiss all symptoms,
however, when he took up his duties as host.
"A Dick Chandler was in my class at COL
lege," he began expansively. If you could
manage the frailest link with Mr.. Aliens
alma mater you were made. Bill Chandler
couldn't: but for once it didn't seem to mat
ter; Lauie's father adopted him into the
Allen family on his own merits.
Laurie's mother, who welcomed everybody,
said at once as Laurie had known she would:
"Of course you must stay to dinner with US.
Laurie slip out to the kitchen; tell Eta May
to put on an extra place. and make plenty of
hot biscuits"
Joan followed her as far as the dining room;
demanded excitedly: Where did he drop
from? Where did you find him? How long is he
staying? He isn't married, is he?"
The father of triplets! Laurie snapped.
Darn the rain! Darn the poky little town for
having no nice club house. no hotel cocktail
lounge in which to entertain a man! Darn
such hospitable family! Darn - everything!
She had known this would happen. Yet she
had leapt right into the trap.
Joan giggled. He's honey, anyway! So
beautiful and bronzed. He's my typev'

we can. That's what want, more than any,
thing. It's nice outside; isn't there park or
something? Even soda fountain would be
better than this
why can't CO. I'm on duty; work here.
I'm sorry - I'd like to-" she let go with
smile. She thought: 1T isn't really me he's
asking, must remember that it's just any
girl. He's probably been in some off-the-
earth place for 50 long that he's desperate,
the way Sarita gets when she breaks down
and lets deaf old Mr.. Stevens take her to
movie"
''Ill wait outside, where can smoke"
It'll be nearly two hours she warned.
IN wait"
Over her filing cards, Laurie kept remind
ing herself that it was pickup, pure and SIM
pie; that even in wartime you should be
friend-of-a-friend, meet at party or be res
cued from something: unless you were fifty
and could use the big-sister technique Miss
Harper had perfected. She kept worrying too
that he'd get tired of waiting. And once she
wondered what would happen if Sarita should
drop into the library. Sarita would know
about inventing friend; she'd be alert to the
possibilities of turned ankle on the library
steps. Certainly she wouldn't try to scare
him away with "shhhh" the first thing!
AT FIVE minutes past twelve, Laurie took
time for quick inspection of herself in the
restroom mirror. Away from her sisters
more spectacular charms. she didn't do so
badly. Her blue eyes had a nice sparkle,
especially when accompanied by really
superlative smile, and her hair was soft
restful shade of brown which reminded you
of pine cones in the woods.
She re-did her lips made them the exact
shade as the frames of her glasses. He'd made
fun of her glasses; sometimes it was good
sign when man teased you about something.
She squeezed on her little brown hat, with a
momentary regret for the knock out new blue
ensemble going to waste in her closet.
The way his eyes gobbled her up without
reservations the instant he saw her, dis
PEELED all regrets. The way he took her arm,
marched her off down the steps, made her
feel as though she had known him always.

Its much too late for you to come back
alone, dear - I'll 60 with you," Sarita said,
sounding like martyr. MAY borrow your
raincoat, Laurie?"
Laurie was about to come out with an in
dignant: I'll wear it myselfr' when it oc-

go. I'd sit in the back seat with Sarita - or
even alone. I've lost him! As kne,c I Uoud

entire repertoire of ballads suitable for her
small, sweet voice.
IT SHOULD have been as good as show -
a tragedy, Laurie made dismal mental COM
ment - to watch the way Sarita and Joan
each unanswered all afternoon and evening
to distract their guests attention from the
other. They kept up an unending ping pong
volley, with Lieutenant Bill Chandler as the
ball. Exhausting even to watch, Laurie
thought
Joan got out the movie protector and
showed him her Motor Corps in action She
told him all about the courses from which
she had been graduated before she had been
allowed to drive the ambulance. She even
fired question after question at him about
medicine, usually an infallible way not to
win MD friends. Still Bill came up smiling.
Tomorrow" Joan promised proudly, 'I'u
take you down to see our ambulance"
About that time Sarita took the floor She
decided Bill must see Claytonville's new
museum. ''Such ducky old house at the end
