SY NOPSIS Lily Lou Lansing. young and pretty telephone operator, gives up her opportunity for an operatic career to marry wealthy Ken Sargent. Ken's mother wanted him to marry the socially prominent Peggy Sage and threatens to hare the marriage annulled. Ken and Lily Lou are stranded, hut she assures him she will stick by him regardless of what happens. CHAPTER NINETEEN They had an apartment in a building on Filbert street, on Russian Hill. (At night they could sit in their window and look out all over the bay. see the lights on the other side . . . pick out Lake Merritt . . . watch the flash of the light on Alcatrar.. .. . Lily Lou knew every nook and corner of her apartment. She had the rented linen and silver by heart. She thought the rooms were beautiful. and certainly they were nicer than any she had lived in before. “Can we afford it?” she asked, a little frightened. "Sure, it’s much cheaper than the hotel.” They had been staying at the St. Francis. Ken had insisted. He said it would be just for a few days and they might as well start out right. It was thrilling for Lily Lou. The crowded lobbies, the long dining rooms with the scurrying waiters, the snowy tables, the people who all seemed rich and well dressed. Their room was nice. too. so large, so luxurious . . . Lily Ix>u would have been very happy, if she hadn’t worried. Site wrote long letters on the hotel stationery ... to her mother, to Bess, to May ... to the boys, John and Earl . . . think of it! The youngest lainsing, sitting in her own room in a hotel like that, writing letters headed “Hotel St. Francis"—as if it were nothing at all! But the answers from the family depressed her . . they were so careful, so restrained. All but Bess—“l’m sure I hope you'll be happy.” 1 Bess wrote, “and don't you mind | chat anybody says. You've got your own life to live, and you’ve got just as much right to a home and husband and babies as any of us, so the family can just shut up about that “Don’t you care what Ken’s family says, either. They may think they are the last word, but you can’t tell me that any big business man is as good and kind as dad, and as for mother, we wouldn't trade her for any society woman. Don’t you let them lord it over you. You’re just as good as they are. I only hope that Kentfield is all you think he is. You deserve a real man. Lily Lou. and I only hope he t„.ns out to be one!” Lily Lou winced at that. She couldn't just make some pelite answer. Bess would think she was changed already. . . So she wrote, with something like candor: “Yes, Ken's famliy was angry enough. Not very complimentary to me. But Ken broke with them when they tried to separate us. . . ." “Tried to annul our marriage” was what she ought to write, but she couldn’t quite do that. Instead. she added another paragraph: ’■'You don't have to worry about me It is true that Ken lost his job , with his father, but the very day he kft his father’s office he got a job, i

and a better one. at another place.” Pitting that into writing made her feel safer, somehow She hastened out to mail it. That would show Bess the sort of husband she had. "He really is old for his age.’ she thought, determinedly, listening to his accounts of the office, at night. He really did seem interested and enthusiastic. She was foolish to worry that it wouldn’t last . . . They had been in the apartment about a week when Ken came home a little late one evening. “Dad came in to see me,” he said guardedly. Lily Lou pretended to bustle about the tiny kitchen. She stirred up the mashed potatoes, fussed with the biscuits she had heating in the oven. “What did he have to say?” she asked, when Ken just leaned against the kitchen door, watching. Ken yawned. “W a n t me to do anything. Lily Lou? Oh. he didn’t have much to say. He's trying to talk me out of it, of course.” The dish with the mashed potatoes leaped in her hands. “Trying to talk you out of what?” “Oh. out of marriage, I guess.” He laughed nervously. Lily Lou was silent. A little pulse over her eye began to throb. She put her hand over it. Tjied to go on eating Then Ken came over to her, put his arms around her. loved her. The chops congealed on the plate. The coffee cooled in the cups. “Lily Lou. nothing in the whole world could make me leave you—” “Or be sorry you married me?” “Ko, honey, nothing—” She laid her cheek next to his. "I believe you. Ken.” And afterward she thought, “That puts the responsibility up to me.” They were so happy. So happy that sometimes she was afraid. Afraid it couldn’t last, and she couldn't bear it if it didn’t. She took care of the little apartment herself, went out and bought flowers from the venders on the streets. Came back and arranged them carefully, sorting and-choos-ing with happy care. Red gladiolas on the library table in the brass opium bowl, great double-flowered white stock on the highboy in the little square hall, spicy white pinks with threads of purple in the Holland glass bowl on the table between their two silk draped beds in the large rose and walnut bedroom. May and Raymond came to dinner on Saturday night. “This is something like,” Raymond said, trying out the deepest armchair. He lit one of Ken’a cigars. Since their marriage Ken had taken to smoking cigars Lily Lea knew, with a queer little lump in her throat, that it was because he thought they made him seem older. . . . Queer how much of his boyishness wzs slipping away from him. “Some day I'm going to have an electric icebox." May was saying. She loved the little cube*, pored over the recipe book that went wish it. “I'd make all kinds of frozen desserts if I had one. I could fix them in the mornings—” Lily Lou showed her everything with proud pleasure. Her new clothes, not many, but nice. The pigskin dressing case with the dark red fittings, that Ken had given her. . . . It was a lovely evening. After they bad gone. Lily Lc.u : realized, with a little shock of pain

“W that >t was the first company 'hey had had. They had been so happyalone that they hadn’t missed anyone. but that wasn’t the way tn do. . . She knew that. . .It was the way May and Raymond lived. A little timidly she asked Ken if there wasn't someone he wanted to have for dinner and bridge “Sure. Maybe some night next week." “Who, Ken? Who shall we have?" “I don’t know, honey I'll think of someone—” “Let's have it the first part of next week!" She planned happily. Filet steak and green peas. Or was filet too expensive? But long before she had made up her mind, something happened, something that filled her with foreboding of tragedy vo come. Ken was late again He hardly touched the beefsteak pie she had gone to so much trouble to make “Headache?” she asked, anxiously “A little. Yes—it docs—” She sang to him softly after d.n ner. Little love songs, folk songs that he liked. She thought he seemed happier. Some time during the night she woke. She heard a queer, choking, strangling noise. “Ken—Ken—is that you?” He did not answer. She went to his bed. reached nut to him in the darkness. She felt her hand wet with his tears. Ken . Ken crying. Lily Lou grasped the head of the bed, for support. The floor seemed to be giving way under her. She was afraid she was falling, failing through space, with the wind rush ing by her closed eyes. But she knew she wasn’t. . She wasn’t the kind who faints, or finds comfortable ways out. She was just standing there, grasping the bedpost for a moment because she felt dizzy. There was no gaping dark hole to swallow her up, the way she wished it would. And Ken was lying face downward on his pillow, probably hating her because she'd waked up and knew he had sobbed . She what to do. Min | utes passed. Long, miserable min- ‘ utes. The funny, strangling sound ' had ceased. She was suddenly desperate with loneliness. Anything but this ter--1 rible shut-out feeling . . anything but that, . . . “Ken!” Her voice was hardly 1 more than a breath. “Ken—it’s Lily Lou. . . . Are you . . . awake?” She waited, and there was no answer. Presently she crept back to bed. They were a little furtive and ' unnatural in the morning.

Today he propped it up in front of him. read while he ate. There was something husbandly and settled about it.

But the paper comforted her ... he must feel settled I and satisfied if he could eat his breakfast and read that way . . . sort as if the honeymoon were over maybe, but settling down . . . the loving husband. . . . He looked up suddenly. "You’re awfully pensive this morning." “I thought you were reading.” | He struck the paper aside. “No. I wasn’t reading.” “Another cup of coffee?” she asked hastily. He glanced at his watch. “Sorry, have to be on my way." She went with him to the door, accepted his rather absent-minded kiss. After he was gone she practiced for an hour or two . . . scales, I breathing exercises . . . felt better. 1 What a super-sensitive idiot she was turning out to be! Next thing, if she didn’t look out. she’d develop nerves like May. or a weak back. like Boss, and have to take pills. . . . She laughed a little at that. Decided to go down town and do a little shopping. She wanted some black darning cotton, for Ken's socks, and a new lipstick At the perfume counter in a drugstore on Grand avenue she walked right into Peggy Sage. No time to back out, to hastily look the other way. Peggy saw her, seemed to I shrink back, too. Then with a nervous little laugh she held out both hands. “The bride! To think . of meeting you here! My dear. I’m so glad to see you. Do have lunch I with me. I'm alone, and starving—" i laly Lou gulped. “I'd just love 1 Jo, but—” 1 i She never finished the halting ex- i ruse. Peggy Sage hooked a small 1 bnt determined arm through hers. I Before she knew just how it hap- I pened they were seated at a table 1 in one of the Russian tea rooms, s just off the avenue. i “The Russian soup, with the sour 1 cream?" The waitress’ pretty s | Slavic fa-e was close to Lily Lou’s. She must have asked twice. 1 ! “Yes. please." Lily Lou murmur- t I ed hastily, though she hated sour t cream, and didn’t even want soup. The orchestra dinned happily, f just back of them.

was smiling across the table. “Tell me all about it," she invited. “You mean about our marriage? There isn’t much to tell. We . . . we made up our minds one day and were married the next ard . . . that's about all. . . .” “Most romantic thing I ever heard in my life." Peggy exclaimed, piling sweet bu ter on rye bread, nibbling as she Hiked. “I moan it was the most exciting thing. Why, I was never so surprised. Not at anything . . . Why don't you try this funny conserve? It’s good really. . . . And I said to Ken, ‘I certainly do wish you luck, boy!’ and I do. my dear, and if there's anything I can do. ..” “That’s awfully sweet of you," Lily Lou put in, stiffly. She made a pretense of eating her salad. She felt awkward, and ala disadvantage. What rotten luck to bump into Peggy Sage, of all people. . . . And what a ninny to let herself be dragged off to lunch this way. Peggy just invited her to pump her about things . . . well, she wouldn’t find out much. . . . “Are you going somewhere exiting this summer?” she asked, and then settled back, pleased with herself because Peggy fell into the trap and rattled on about Maine, and somebody’s camp. Lily Lou almost enjoyed her lunch. She admired the bright dishes, the colorful carvings, the strange Russian frescoes in the room. She studied Pegffy’s printed silk dress, decided she wasn’t so terribly pretty after all . , . her nose was really too large, and her eyes were too sharp. . . , “No, let me!” Peggy's birdlike little hand closed over the check the waitress had left on the table with the dessert. Lily Lou held her comer of it firmly. She knew it was silly, but she didn’t want Peggy to pay for their lunch. She wanted to pay for U, hagoelf. “Please—” she begged —*ffee me have it—” The eagerness must have showed in her face. “Just as you like,” Peggy said indifferently.
