SYNOPSIS Julie Allerdyce, 19-year-old daughter of Piofessor Allerdyce of the Ramsey Preparatory School for Boys, manages to get herself engaged to Dr. Richard Jessup, the most eligible bachelor in her little town of Fayette, New York. Tommy Jessup, the doctor’s younger brother, adores Julie, but he is still in college and Jxalic scorns him as a child. Everyone in town had always thought Dick would marry Millicent Dodd, a woman nearer his age. At a country club dance Julie meets Pete Waddell, a barnstorming aviator. He tells her there is a great future in flying for a beautiful girl. A few days later, MiUicent Dodd gives an engagement party for Julie. She is writing the place cards when Tommy bursts in to protest that it’s all wrong for Julie to marry Doctor Dick. MiUicent should be marrying Dick, and Julie should marry him! Millicent quiets him and sends him for Julie. CHAPTER VI Priscilla Allerdyce pressed her freckled nose to the streaming window pane. “It’s half past twelve, Julie. There goes Pop Lewis to lunch. You’d better hurry or you won’t be dressed.” Julie fastened the collar of her beige crepe and smoothed the folds over her slim hips. She adjusted a chic little toque on her head and replied, “I'm nearly ready. I’ll have to wear my old raincoat now. This rain! Damn!" “Oooh, you said a swear word!” Priscilla was pleasantly shocked. “When you’re Dr. Dick's wife, you’d better not talk like that.” "When I’m Dr. Dick’s wife. Miss Priscilla Allerdyce, I’ll do exactly as I please,’’ Julie informed her. This important information was lost on Priscilla who pressed her nose even more closely to the glass. “Here comes Tommy!” “Well, you can let him in. I don’t want to see him.”

“Can't, I’m going to the bathroom,” Priscilla answered conclusively. Julie flounced down the stairs. “Tommy, please don’t keep me,” she said rather more pointedly than politely when she opened the door. “Millicent is sending Peter for me in a few min . . .” “Millicent sent me. Peter’s busy.” He closed the door at his back with a new deliberate movement and stood looking down at her. “I came to fetch you. Also to ask you to marry me.” “Tommy! I didn’t know” “I haven’t very much now, but when I’ve finished Law School. I plan to go to the city. Judge Maltby has half promised to take me into his firm.” 1 He spoke between thin lips, outlined whiteiy at the corners. The rigidity of his pose echoed in the eold monotone of his statement. Julie’s eyes changed from grey to w-fion o. her look measured him. The softness that had come into her voice at Tommy’s words was gone when next she spoke. She spoke slowly and her voice was low but not soft. "I see now! You Jessups are long on sacrifices, aren’t you?” For an instant, meeting his gaze, returning steadiness with steadiness, Julie felt that she heard the clash of steel on steel. Something in her responded with an exhilaration she had never felt before, all'her senses quickening to the challenge. Then it was over and she said, “I'll get my raincoat.” She turned away toward the coate'osot, not trusting her voice to say anything more, not understanding she weakness in her that she was experiencing for the first time, a weakness that she would overcome if she i could keep from meeting his eyes i again. ' He was silent when she came i

back. Silent during the short drive to Millicent's house. But when she was getting out of the car, he »»!d, “Julie, if you marry Dick, you'll be sorry. Some day you’ll be sorry you made a mess of everybody’s life..” ’Everybody’ doesn't include me, Tommy. I mean to make a success of mine. I’ve started by minding my own business and minding it well. Suppose you try the same thing?” “That’s what I’m trying to do,” he said. But he didn’t say it until the big oak door had swallowed her. ♦ • • "If you marry Dick, you'll be sorry."

Jkv >4. I™ A Vll l f'W Wi l //\ Julie wanted to see herself in a trailing hostess gown, entertaining learned dignitaries.

The first time that Julie Allerdyce repeated Tommy’s words, she laughed them away. But that had been the day of Millicent’s party for her. Now, six weeks later, she thought of them again—not as an angry prophecy of Tommy’s, but as an unhappy conclusion of her own. Unhappiness possessed her. Unhappiness was strange to her. She had known moods that were anmoods that spent tb< inwlves without really getting beneath the surface of her emotions. But this was new. This was something that hurt, something that probed into your heart and found it empty, something that stripped the trappings from the plans you thought were glamorous. This was something that made you aware that you were helpless to make life as exciting as you wanted it to be. The May twilight enveloped her desolate figure in perfumed veils as she sat on the lowest step of the porch kicking pebbles aimlessly with the toe of her sandaled foot The wide tree-lined avenue was empty at eight o’clock on this Sunday evening. The Lewises, the Burtons and the Feltons had long since passed on their way to evening service. The car with the boys and

girls on their way to Althea Turner’s house for bridge and dancing had rounded the corner and was lost to sight. Sunday night was “beau night” in Fayette and Julie with a diamond ring on her left hand, Julie, admittedly the prettiest and most popular belle in Fayette, had no place

to go and nothing to do but read a novel from the circulating library. Os all days, Henry Schwartz had taken this one to fall out of an apple tree and break his leg! There was a good movie at tho Palace that Julie wanted to see. The young Ted Merriams had .“-aid, "Julie, bring the doctor over Sunday night We're having some people up from New York for the week end.” There was a skating exhibit at the roller-skating rink at Jarien. Oh, there were all sorts of exciting things to do. Julie had dressed in a frock that would be suitable wherever they might go.

At seven Dick had telephoned. “Sorry, dear, but I won’t be able to see you tonight Henry Schwartz fell out of a tree and broke his leg. I’ll have to set it tonight and I don’t know when I'll be through. 11l try and see you tomorrow.” “Broken legs! Babies! Mrs. Watkins’ twins! Tonsils! Measles!” Julie kicked the pebbles savagely and tried to encourage anger. It was no use, she couldn’t feel anything but unhappy. She got up and went indoors, ft was seldom that she had the little house to herself and usually she liked it. She twisted the dials of the radio until she found a program of chamber music, then she sank rlnwn in the depths of the worn sofa and closed her eyes. Julie had always had an escape. There was a silver screen in her mind against which she reflected the self-written dramas in which she played the star role. But tonight the screen was blank. Try as she would, she could not see herself as she wanted to. She wanted to see herself in a trailing hostess gown, sitting at her table in the Jessup house, entertaining learned dignitaries. She wanted to see herself in dashing sports clothes, lolling in an easy chair on the deck of a luxurious private yacht. When she and Dick were married, they’d travel at least once a year and they’d meet thrilling people. She meant to cultivate those travel friendships.
