"Often A Bridesmaid”
CHAPTER I A CAR stopped outside. Aunt • Bet heard the talk, and the laughter. The crunching of feet on the gravel walk. She switched on the lamp at her bedside, and strained toward the small enameled dock, trying to focus without her glasses. It looked like half past four, but she couldn’t be sure. Half past four. What do young people find to DO at such an hour? Not that she worried. Aunt Bet was used to young people and their ways, she merely wondered. She recognised her niece Margaret’s voice and Sue Decker's shrill, half hysterical giggle, and made a little face as she turned off the light, and lay back on her pillow. That Girl! Everything in the world, more suitors than you could shake a stick at, and still breaking her silly neck to get Margaret’s beau! He was out there now, with Margaret, and that nice Joe Atwell. As far as Aunt Bet was concerned, Sue could have the Raleigh boy. Margaret would do far better with Joe, or any of a half dozen others. They were coming in now. She could hear the faint squeak of the front door, and the giggling as they tiptoed through the hall, on their way to the kitchen. Always giggling. She tried to think back to when she was nineteen, but she couldn’t remember the giggling and the silly nothings that amused her nieces so much. Still, they were good girls.'- Especially Margaret. And Margaret would clean up the mess in the kitchen later so that the maid wouldn't have it to do in the morning. Momlng. Aunt Bet sighed and closed her eyes. It was practically morning now. She’d be glad when all this Senior week festivity was over, but in two or three years she’d have to go through it all again with the younger sisters, Natalie and Barbara. For that matter, Natalie and Barbara were pretty well into it right now with Margaret Margaret handed down the suitors she couldn't use, making young ladies of them, especially the baby, Babs, before their time. And with all the boys to choose from Margaret had to pick out the Raleigh boy. Not that she was a snob, Bet thought with pride in he> own democracy but, when a girl has half the eligible men in a community at her feet, is there any sense in her picking a nobody who just happens to be good looking and pla v s football? - Ant Bet sighed and turned over. It was a question that had no answer. Downstairs, in the white, spotless kitchen, Margaret and the young man in question were busily cooking ham and eggs, while Sue and Joe balanced on the edge of Lire sink and shouted and giggled over the single highball they were consuming with two straws. "Good liquor,” Joe sad judicially. “But not enough of it," Sue said. "It's ail you’re going to get. . . . Hey, don’t drink so fast! Hey, stop! Aw, Maggie, look, she’s getting it all!” Margaret smiled, without turning, went on basting the eggs. “Can't help it That's all there Is.” "Oh, Maggie, don’t be stingy! You know there’s a new case!" “And I said I wouldn't touch it

noisy, giggling girl kicking slim, chiffon-clad legs on the kitchen sink. “Oh, pipe down. Sue." Instantly Sue slipped from her perch on the sink, went and stood quietly by the back door. Margaret frowned. Now Ken had done it again. Hurt Sue’s feelings Why couldn’t he see she was showing off just for him and give her a break? But no, he had to go of his way to be nasty. “Come on,” she called, rattling the coffee pot, making a lot of noise to cover the awkward moment. “Come on — everything’s ready. Joe, you bring the cups, and, Sue. there’s some jam in the .cebox. Get the hot plales, Ken." Sue came, but grudgingly. She couldn’t hide the hurt in her dark, mobile face. Her scarlet mouth drooped, she watched Ken broodingly, out of dark, brilliant eyes Ken watched Margaret. He watched every movement of her quick, capable hands, every turn of her fair, lovely head. She was. be thought for the thousandth time, the prettiest girl he'd ever seen. She was more than pretty — there • was something serene and satisfying about her. Sue was probably just as pretty, in her own way. Lots of fellows thought the was prettier, but he

eouldn’t see it. Too sloppy, for one thing, and too fidgety. Rumpling up her hair, malting faces, giggling at the top of her lungs. Why couldn't she be quiet like Margaret? Margaret had ridden in the rumble with him and she didn't look windblown. She'd broiled ham and fried eggs and she looked as though she'd just jumped out of a bandbox. He loved the way her pale, blond hair sprang back from her broad, white brow. Ho loved the way the quick color came and went in her cheeks. He loved her delicate slimness, her clear blue
eyes; he loved everything about her. He ioved her so much that it hurt He wanted to talk to her alone, he wanted to tell her, and the other two, Sue and Joe. sat, guzzl'ng second and third cups <t coffee, making more and more toast, smearing on more and more jam. Good heavens, weren't they ever going home? Joe yawned and the grandfather clock in the hall chimed the half '.our. "If that’s half-past 5, it’s time we were on our way," Ken said, giving Joe a meaning kick under she table. “That’s right," Joe said lySue wailed. "Oh, dear—and there s nothing left but the ball—" "And commencement," Joe said. "Commencement!" Sue snorted. "Yeh. diplomas and speeches. I can hardly wait." "Here's your coat. Come again some time, Miss Decker," Ken said, wrapping it over her shoulders and steering her toward the door. "Oh, all right—if you insls‘, meanie! Goodbye, Maggie, honey, thanks for the snack. See you tomorrow!” (To be continued) Copyright, King Features Syndicate, Inc.
