■GIVEHER WINGS"

SYNOPSIS Juli* Allsrdycs, 19-year-old daughter of Professor Allerdyce of the Ramsey Preparatory School for Boys, intends to get herself engaged to Dr. Richard Jessup, the most eligible bachelor in her little town of Fayette, New York. Tommy Jessup, the doctor'* younger urother. adores Julie, but he i* (till in college and Julie scorn* him as a child. It wasn't that Juli* just wanted to get married, but she couldn't face the appalling future of boredom of growing into her thirties like Millicent Dodd, who had nothing to fill her time but charitable enterprises. CHAPTER 111 Something that Julie would never in this world have admitted was a sympathetic twinge that stirred in her when Millicent Dodd came into her mind. She wriggled into her scant elastic girdle, snapped the garters on her stockings and said defensively, “Millicent’s had thirty-three years in which to get Dick and it’s not my fault if she can’t." She slid her feet into black velvet sandals. They were beginning to look shabby, it was good that her organdie would cover them. She wouldn’t have to wear shabby sandals after she was married. She held her breath while she pulled the orange frock over her head and the tight waistline slipped into place. There was a succession of rattling groans, a creak and a cough in the drive followed by the screeching sound of an ancient car coming to an abrupt stop. Julie tied a black velvet bow in her burnished hair and smiled experimentally in her mirror as Priscilla hurled herself toward the front door in the lower hall. “Hello, Prissy, is the duchess ready?” Julie heard Tommy Jessup’s voice and made an angry moue. “Poor Millicent!" she purred as she came down the stairs. “Is she really terribly ill, Tommy?" Tommy didn’t answer her at once. Apparently oblivious to all her golden loveliness, he regarded her quizzically with hi« crooked smile

and one eye-brow raised in the way that annoyed her most. “So the role is that of Gracious Lady,” he murmured while he held the evening jacket that had been made out of her old black velvet. “Not to you,” she said shortly, “It would be a waste of time.” Tommy didn't deny it as they skimmed the road lightly but noisily for six miles out to the country club. The little car jerked—it wasn’t the kind that swung—into the drive leading to the club-house. The dance had begun. The parking spaces around the elub-house were already filled. Knots of black-coats-and-white-fronts had gathered on the verandah. Most of the girls were still in the dressing-room Julie was glad they arrived at the moment they did. The early gossip session in the dressing-room was part of the evening’s pleasure. The little ecstatic screams of recognition, of admiraI tion, the under-current of excitement, the tingling feeling that something was going to happen just because there was an orchestra playing below and you wore your prettiest dress. Not that anything ever did hap-

start a flying school. Name’s Waddell.” “Well?” Julie waited, no further elaboration being necessary. “Not married. About thirty—old but good-looking in a hard way. Nita says he doesn’t look quite a gentleman but you never can tell about aviators.” Julie said nothing. She was thinking of the ever-interesting, ever-exciting prospect of a new conquest. Swiftly, feeling very virtuous and a bit resentful, she put the thought from her. The girl who was soon to be "the doctor’s wife,” a dear and beloved bride, a leader in the young married set, would hardly be interested in another man. Already she saw herself presiding at beard meetings, giving little dinners before such dances as this, giving advice to girls her own age. Kindly, thoughtful, wise. She got up suddenly and inclined her head in a gracious nod of farewell to Dorcas. Dorcas gazed after the departing organdie with a puzzled expression. Pete Waddell saw that organdie figure coming down the stairs. His hard blue eyes followed it through

Julie strained away from that embrace. “I know who you are. You’re the Griffins’ aviator. How do you aviate? I mean are you a mail pilot, a transcontinental pilot or what?" “The little girl is romantic and she's been reading story-books," he grinned. “I'm a plain barnstormer I’ve got a little plane over at Clunesville and I'm opening a flying school. How would you like to learn to fly?” “Drumming up trade?” she inquired coldly. She could see why Nina thought he wasn't quite a gentleman. “Why not?” he answered easily. “Only a hundred dollars for twelve lessons. Think it over. There's a great future in flying for a beautiful girl. Opens the road to fame and fortune and all that." For one brief moment a picture flashed into her mind. A great fixture in flifing for a beautiful girl. Her mind clicked over it like a camera shutter. Almost instantly her attention was fixed elsewhere.
