I CHAPTER XVIII Tod didn’t go back to Boston, after all. That ia, he went back that i following Sunday night but only to arrange things so that he might return to New York a few weeks later and remain there permanently. It happened, as these things so frequently do, accidentally and quite without premeditation in the Grand Central Station, while he and Whitney waited for his train to be announced. She said to him, her hand clutching his arm suddenly: “I don’t want you to go, Tod. I like you better than anyone I know, and there is no one, not even Jay, with whom I have such lovely times. Can’t you possibly arrange to live in New York, instead of Boston?” He grinned down at her and patted her hand, which looked small and tense against his coat sleeve. He said: “Not very well, nut, unless I can get my office to transfer me to the New York paper.. And all at once, looking down at her, as she stood there beside him, clinging to his arm in that crowded, noisy public place, he knew he was going to do just that. She liked him better than anyone she knew and had better times with him and she ' wanted him to leave Boston and come to New York. It was incon--1 ceivable that he should do anything ' else. He said so. He said: “I’ll do my | damnedest, Whit, to arrange things that way. I think I can manage it. ] In fact, I’m practically certain that I can.” No need to tell her that if necessary he would ditch his job and take his chances on getting another one. But, as it happened, it was not necessary for him to do that. A month later, he had arranged the transfer and was working on, a New York paper and living permanently in that city. Whitney was always to remember that summer as an interlude in her life that never seemed quite real. She spent it almost entirely with Helena and Jay and Ginny and Tod. Jay took a place on Long Island and invariably had them all out there for week-ends. The rest of the week was divided into long, incredibly weary days at the office and hot evenings, when freshly bathed and dressed in something thin and cool, usually a flowered chiffon dinner frock, she dined and danced with Tod or Jay, or more often both of them. She lost interest in her work temporarily, bought a blue jersey bathing suit with a halter top and lived for the week-ends at Jay’s place. Ginny was almost always along managing somehow to look carelessly well-dresed in clothes that cost practically nothing. She and Jay had established some sort of a relationship which was apparently more satisfactory to Ginny than it was to him. He was alternately gay and sullen during the summer and Ginny was usually the cause of his moods. One Sunday, when they were all driving back to town in Jay’s car, he said to Whitney: “I wish you would try to convince Ginny that there is no reason why I shouldn’t back a play for her this fall. She is a stubborn little wench and won’t listen to me.” Ginny said: “Perhaps you can convince Jay that I couldn't possibly let him risk the money. Anyway, I’m going into rehearsal next week .. “Exactly,” Jay’s voice was impatient. “Another small part in a show that may not last six weeks.” “I’ve been in shows that didn’t last six days,” Ginny pointed out cheerfully, “and survived them. The i trouble with Jay,” she continued in 1 her husky, attractive voice, “is that

he has too much money and be thinks that I haven’t enough and for some reason that worries him. He can’t understand, of course, that it doesn’t worry me at all but that being indebted to him, or anyone else, would.” • Giny never discussed the matter again with Whitney except once. That was later in tho summer. They had been swimming and were lying stretched flat on their backs in the sun. She said: “Six years ago I was terribly in love with Jay but I thought then I had a fair chance to become a great actress. I know now that I was wrong about that but I still like the theater better than any other life I could possibly have and I like belonging to myself ... financially and emotionally and every other way. And the only way you can do that is by not depending on anyone for anything. Jay can’t understand this, of course, because he has never tried it, himself.” Whitney thought: "I know what she means by wanting to belong to herself ... but I wonder if it is ever completely possible. Apparently it is for Ginny but I doubt if it ever will be for me.” As late as September she was still thinking of herself as belonging to Scott. And hating herself a little for it In October, Jay gave up the place on Long Island and moved back to town. Helena had the crisp linen covers put away and the red sofa recovered and bought new records for the phonograph. “Dinner at Eight” and “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” and all the scores from As Thousands Cheer. Whitney bought a Schiaparelli suit with an astrakhan collar which she wore with a dark gray felt hat. In November she began to receive the income from a trust fund her grandmother had established for her when she was a child and she bought a gray baby lamb eoat and a copper-red evening dress and began buying a dozen pairs of chiffon stockings at a time and spending more money on herself than she ever had in her life. She always dressed very carefully now and took beautiful care of her hair and skin and Jay told her that she was looking particularly lovely that fall and Tod said she was “outstandingly handsome.” She thought it was sweet of them to bother to tell her anything. She thought she would have given one year of her life gladly to have Scott say that she looked nice... to have seen his eyes as he said it, looking at her in that familiar, stirring way ... as if they loved to look at her, as if they thought she was by far the most desirable young woman they ever had the good fortune to rest upon... But Scott did not come to New York again. He didn’t see her in the Schiaparelli suit with the astrakhan collar or in the baby lamb coat or in the copper-red evening dress. November was a lonely month. A long, incredibly dreary month. A month in which just thinking about Scott and that day last June could stir her so profoundly that she was afraid to be left alone long at any one time and went feverishly from one excitement to another. Tod suggested going to New Haven to the Yale-Harvard game but she wasn’t enthusiastic. She felt she was done with football games and college dances and riding in rumble seats with young men in raccoon coats. Tod wanted to go to Cambridge for a couple of games but he didn’t want to take her and he wouldn’t go without her, so those plans fell through too.' And then it was December. They discussed going back to Boston for Christmas . . . they talked about it tentatively for days . . . but in the end. Hester Prentice was ill with a slight at-

tack of grippe and did not feel equal to seeing anyone and Adam wrote that there was no need of their coining back just for him . . • that some other week-end would do just as well, and they were all a little relieved to have the thing decided that way. Neither Tod nor Helena nor Whitney had really wanted to go back to Boston. It was a good party. But then it should have been. Jay had spent plenty of money to sec that it was. He had chosen one of the most exclusive places in New York to spend New Year’s Eve, invited perhaps a dozen people and the result was expensive and noisy and gay. The band swung into a South American rhumba. A dark girl and a man, both Argentines, circled and turned and twisted in each other's arms on a square of polished dance floor, in the golden eye of a restless spotlight Pink camellias glowed against the pale green of smilax down the length of the table, and at the far end Jay leaned close to Ginny, his face narrow and absorbed, a little angry. She was shak- | ing her head, her eyes quiet a little . compassionate. They had said all these same things so many times ! during the past few weeks. Even so far back as the summer they had i said them. And the show she had opened in, in November, had proved a flop and she wss going on the road , with a stock company which left New York the next day ... and now in the few minutes of what was left of the old year, Jay was continuing to say them, his face exigent and sullen. Helena, looking very handsome in | a black velvet frock, was listening absently while the man who had I brought her to the party told her exactly why he preferred Nassau to Palm Beach as a place to spend a three weeks’ vacation. She was thinking: “In Rio de Janeiro it is ten o’clock in the evening and very i hot . . . Gage is probably having a : late dinner in a white linen suit, his 1 hair still damp from his shower. His hair is almost black when it is i wet, but when the sun shines on it it I is red like mine .. The band stopped playing the rhumba and slid into a foxtrot and the Argentine professionals left the floor and now it was filling swiftly i with dancers. Someone asked the 1 girl next to Tod to dance and he waited until she had gone and then walked around the table and sat down beside Whitney. She smiled at him and he said: “Would you care to dance this or shall we just sit here?” She said: “I would rather just sit here but if we do someone else will come along and ask me and it will be difficult explaining. Let’s dance.” They danced well together. As two people do who have danced mneh together for years. Dancing with Tod was as easy, as natural, as without effort as was the rest of their relationship. It was not in the least like dancing with Scott... Somewhere, tonight, Scott was dancing too. Probably at the Copley Plaza. It had been just a year since they had danced together there that last time . . . and had left the ballroom and gone to Brad Lewis’ apartment. And had not gone in. The music beat about her. Pounding at her. Suffocating her. Washing over her like waves. Tearing her to bits with its wistful, twisting melody. A golden-haired saxophone player stood up and sang into a microphone. Tonight, she thought, pressing her eyelids together, breathing lightly, painfully, if there was any place where I might go and be alone with Scott for a few minutes, ’ would go. Nothing would stop me. Nothing on earth. , (To be continued) Copyright. 1937, by King Features Syndicate, Ira.
