HER WINGS’’*

CHAPTER XIII The class, with the exception of the two girls, hurried outside. It couldn’t have been hotter in the sun than it was under the sun baked roof. Julie got out her compact and powdered her nose. Rita washed her hands, cooling her wrists, at a wash-basin. Julie caught her underlip in her teeth while she made up her mind. Then she said, “Miss Cartright, does it matter very much to you what time you have your lesson Thursday? I mean at ten or twelve?" “Not a bit,” the other girl said immediately. “Why?" Julie appeared to hesitate. “Well ... I have a hospital board meeting at one and I would have to call it off ... I wondered if you’d mind changing with me? I really do hate to miss the board meeting. I happen to be terribly interested in some projects we’re working on right now.” “Oh, sure, it’s quite all right. You come at ten and I’ll take the twelve.” “Thanks.” Just the right degree of gratitude. The two girls walked out together. crossed the field to their cars. To Julie’s borrowed, battered chariot, to Rita’s sleek, new roadster. Julie said, “If you had a swim suit with you, I’d ask you to join me. I don’t like to go alone. I had expected my cousin to meet me here this morning. We were going swimming together but it isn’t likely that she’s going to turn up now. She was due here an hour ago. Beastly hot, isn’t it?” Rita asked interestedly, “Where on earth were you going swimming around here?” Julie remembered Playland Park, a remote edition of Coney Island a few miles south. She passed it on her way to the field. “Playland Park,‘*she said apologetically, “It isn’t very nice but anywhere will do in this weather. The pool is fairly decent." Rita said, “If you’d care for a swim, why don't you come along with me? We’ve got a pool. Not very big but cool. We’ll have some lunch.” Julie selected enthusiasm rather than gratitude. "Swelll Are yer* quite sure it is convenient to take me along?” “Oh, there’ll be lots of people there. And I’ll be glad to have you. I’d like to talk over some things that Waddeli said today. They puzzled me and you might be able to help. I’ve been wanting to talk to you but you’re always rushing off after class.” She slid back of the wheel of her car. “You won’t mind following?” Julie lifted her hand in a signal to go on. Her own motor coughed, wheezed and settled into the perpetual asthmatic rumble Tommy was pleased to call purring. She forgot that the road was dusty, that she was hot. Heat couldn’t do anything to her to affect her appearance long. And her bathing suit was smart, becoming. She had no worries about her figure. She had no worries of any kind. Things were working out for her. She was on the way to the home of Cartright, the utilities king. Things always worked the way she wanted them to. Hadn’t Rita said she had been wanting to talk to her for a longjtime? Julie sounded her horn and almost scared the life out of a sparrow in the road. The Rattletrap bumped along the road from Clunesville in the dusty wake of Rita Cartright’s roadster. Julie’s left foot pressed on the floor

board to keep it down. The little car pranced about on the knolls in the road like a skittish steed. It could have stood on its radiator, it couldn't have disturbed Julie Allerdyce’s bright anticipation. They left the state road, turned down a lane passing between high field-stone walls which shut off the view of the property they enclosed. Rita turned her head and swung her uplifted hand right. Julie followed her between the high opened gates. Thus she entered the first of many backgrounds of the brief drama she was to play.

it SmJH W' '' th. M V •- SR ’ The suit fitted perfectly, tied demurely at the back of her fleck.

Her first view of the Cartright’s place was exciting. She was first aware of color; the greens of the lawn, the darker greens of the tall treas, the bright purity of the sky 'itke a painted back-drop for the whiteness of the spreading house with its slate blue roof were like canvas colors. Sbe had never seen a house like it. It was, she learned later, a California-type of house. Built of white-wnshed brick, it was designed for sunlight and space. It must have had, she thought, at least a hundred rrwms. It hadn’t Rita got out of her car and ran back to where Julie waited. Julie said, “It’s beautiful here.” “It is nice-ish,” Rita answ-ered, “We like it better than the summer place in Maine. It’s more accessible. Dad belongs to a flying club and we had to have a place where planes could land. Mother prefers hunting. Later, I’ll show you the hangar and the stables.” Julie followed her into a wide, cool hall. At first she thought it was the living-room. Rita said, “We might as well get into our bathing suits. We’ll get something to eat at the pool.” The two girls went up the polished flight of stairs. Rita opened the door to a bed-room. Julie saw the black skirts of a maid vanish through another door which she knew led to the bathroom. “You can change here,” Rita said. “Wilson”—Julie gathered Wilson was one of the maids—“will

take your things to the play house and we’ll dress there later. You re not in a rush to get back, are you? Julie said she wasn’t particularly. She wondered if Tommy would need his car. She had always made a point of getting it back to its place in front of Judge Platt’s office before three. Tommy had a class at four. Well— When Rita went out, closing the door behind her, Julie sat on a satin slipper chair. She almost sat on the bed but she thought better of disturbing the crepe de Chine cover, She surveyed the room interestedly, calculatingly. With her bare feet

she felt the velvet softness of ths deep rug. Her eyes swept the decorative details with appreciation. Some day she’d ha’ ea room with curtains of silken gauze, a bed with a padded silk head in place of boards. She took off her dress, and in her step-ins went into the bathroom. She’d never seen a bathroom before where there was paper on the walls, a carpet on the floor. She saluted the leaping dolphins, got out of her step-ins and cooled her body under the shower. Drying herself she was careful not to rub her smooth ivory skin too hard. She wanted an ivory not a red background, to her white suit. The suit fitted perfectly, tied demurely at the baek of her neck above the uncovered expanse of her back, beneath the soft mass of her loosened coppery hair. She looked at herself in the mirror. The slight, firm curves of her bosom, her slight waist. The long, clean line of her legs. She had heard no one in the bedroom, but when she went back she found a green silk dressinggown, a pair of straw sandies on the slipper chair. The sandies fit, looked new as though no one had worn them. Green was her color. She put the dressing-gown on, tying the belt tight about her waist and went into the hall, down the stairs.
