HE has to stand watch tonight. He asked
me to pinch hit for him.
That made three times this week Pierce
had had to stand watch. and always Brad
had appeared as substitute.
What kind of mirrors do you use?" she
said.
Il do it with leaves from the bitter tea OF
Admiral Noll.'
I'D rather stay home and be bored by

"Of course" - he shrugged indolently -
IF you want to go back on your word"
What do you mean?"
"You said if won anything from the back
of a horse, l could tag along. Remember:
Pierce does"
Unfortunately, she did too.
so as was about to say, he continued.
wear that new white number. Who knows?
You might awaken more than my platonic
regard"
There was an imperceptble hesitation in
her stride. How did he know about the white
and crystal gown she'd coveted so long, and
finally achieved? Did he have psychic powers
along with his other gifts?
"I'll wear green that will curdle your din
ner," she promised.
"A FEW minutes later she marched upstairs
to her bedroom and found Beth curled up on
the bed, struggling with Spanish l.
Hello. honey" said Beth, unwinding.
Don't you honey me- Why was my new
dress subject of conversation with Bradford
Noll?"
Beth looked at her with startled innocence.
Il don't remember exactly He's always pry-
ing me with questions about you

Il did tell him how you worked afternoons
in Dean Cranton's Office to pay for my tut
ton, and went without lunches to buy new
evening gown. Shouldn't of"
Hare How will you ever learn Spanish if
you don't know English?"
The babyish mouth began to droop, and
kitty's anger softened like butter in the sun.
well, darling, it's all yours for tonight.
Evening star., 1943-04-04

Kitty Her face burned, her temper burned as
she put her little buckskn mare into the final
canter Ahead of her Brad, riding easy and
relaxed tossed coin in the air and dexter
ously caught it. He looked back, grinned i'm
pudently and then widened the course of the
circle.
Furiously she closed the gap between them.
He'd get no advantage of position She want
ed none. This was more than game. 1t was
confused kind of struggle, mixed up in her
mind in the most crazy fashion as East
against West land against sea, man against
woman.
In the middle of phrase the music ceased.
They raced in together. kitty's little mare was
fast and handy, but the gray caught up Sud-
denly they we're riding knee to knee. She felt
the buckskin give way to the superior weight
of the gray Instantly it dawned on her. Brad
was using polo trick. Riding her off. As they
passed the chair, she leaped from her saddle.
Too late Brad was already in the chair.
She almost fell into his lap, and he reached
out steadying hand.
l'D LIKE to get up and give my seat to
lady, - he looked down his nose in mock
modesty Sc but the honor of the Navy,
you know
Kitty stalked out of the ring, deaf to the
hand they gave her for having stayed IN
there so long, blind to the white caps thrown
in the air For the first time in her life she
wasn't being a good sport ard she didn't
care Damn a man who boasts he can do
everything and then does it.
Angrily she turned in her mount and start
ed for home.
Hey. Wait minute, Red"
Don't call me Red" She didn't look up as
he fell in stride with her.
Want to see my price,"
NO But tell me- she said with poisonous
sweetness, chow was the polo at your ivy
college?"
Swell. Would you like to hear about the
time l was captain of the team, and we
trimmed the pants off Yale??"

He sighed. Can help it if I'm unbeat-
able? Now about tonight -"

But what? warn you, Beth, don't thwart
me. I'm in mood
Honey, you'll look like a Christmas tree.
That shade fights with your hair
That's just dandy" Kitty jerked off her
boots, slipped into mules and scuffed toward
the bathroom. As she passed the bed she saw
tear fall on Beth's book. Nov what?" she
asked.
Beth raised fearful eyes. Its beautiful
dress. but white washes me out. And I'm
going with the cutest boy - an aviation
cadet from the north base"
Kitty stared at the ash-blonde curls, the
wide gray eyes, the delicate skin.
''Okay, pet, she said YEARLY. You win"
Everybody won it seemed, but Kitty.
After she had bathed and powdered, life
seemed less grim to Kitty. She slipped the
precious gown over her head and regarded
herself with delight. Snow and crystal against
warm ivory. There would be other officers
at the dance Killing a cat by choking him to
death with butter might be unoriginal, but
it was smooth and painless procedure Brad
would be escort service only. He'd see!
Beth came in with florists box. This just
came for you." She stopped in open-mouthed
admiration. "Oh Kitty, you're gorgeous
hussy. Turn around.
Kitty revolved slowly. The long lines cling
ing to her reed-like figure added height and
dignity
1t was simple sophisticated bit of de-
signing, and if it didn't get in some pretty
deadly work tonight she was going to know
why she had wasted her hard-earned chips.
Suppressing quivers of anticipation, she
opened the box and drew out a perfect white
orchid.
Grand Canyon!" cried Beth, dropping
into chair He never got that in this town."
Kitty fastened the fragile bloom in the deep
red waves of her hair. She took a small facon
of expensive perfume she'd been boarding,
and applied it sparingly behind ears adorned
by her grandmother diamond eardrops. She
picked up her evening purse and wrap of white
broadcloth with golden epaulets.
Il feel so lily-of- -feldish," she said.
Dropping kiss on Beth's head, she went
forth into battle.
In HIS crisp white uniform, Bradford Noll
was no slouch for looks himself. Even Kitty
had to concede that he was constructed in the
best f1at-hipped, wide-shouldered tradition
of the Navy.
With one hand on the newell post, he
watched her come down the stairs.
''You look like Catherine of all the Russias
- with tummy ache" he said.
Don't turn my foolish little head with
iattery."
1T will be gaudy night" he said. We'll
make handsome couple"
mot after we get there. Well divide like
the amoeba." She put casual hand to her
''Want to see my prize?"
he pleaded. "No!' she said
