"My Love is new" by Iris BENNETT

SYNOPSIS On a sunny day in June, lovely Constance Darby is driving to her home in Northwood with a song in her heart. Terry Cannon, whom she had loved as long as she could remember, was returning today after an absence of six months. He was assistant athletic coach in an upstate college and would not ask Constance to marry him until he was well established. As she drove along, Constance hoped he would forget all that, remembering only that he loved her, and propose now. Stopping for gas, Constance meets suave, sophisticated Gordon Keith, Northwood’s favorite son, who won fame as a newspaper correspondent and radio commentator in the big city. His car has broken down and she gives him a lift to the home of the wealthy, aristocratic Howards. Ostensibly, Gordon was returning home to write a book. What he refrained from mentioning was that he had been involved in a scandal in New York and was also broke. Upon learning Constance is in need of work, Gordon hires her as his secretary. This beautiful, blonde girl attracted him greatly. Matthew Darby, a high school teacher and strict father, disapproves of his daughter working for Keith, fearing for her reputation. But sweet, gentle Mrs. Darby says, "It will be an experience for Constance.” Terry is home. Constance missed seeing him but while he was waiting for her, Rosalind, her rebellious, 18-year-old sister, made a date for Constance and Terry to go dancing with Bill Stanton and her. ■* CHAPTER 111 The sisters had always shared the same bedroom. After dinner Rosalind went upstairs. Constance cleared the table, dried the dishes, talked with her mother, and then went upstairs. Rosalind, wearing a pink negligee and pink “mules” barely clinging to her naked heels, was sitting before the dressing table painting her nails a deep crimson. Constance sat on the bed. Rosalind said, “The only reason father is letting me go to the Red Slipper tonight is because you and Terry are going. I saw Terry first and told him 1 had a date with Bill and we wanted to dance. When is father going to get it out of his head that I'm not a kid anymore? I’m getting fed up with it.” "To him, I suspect, we’ll always be kids.” “Oh, I know. But he isn’t always asking where you go and what time you got in and if you had anything to drink. 1 just want to have a good time. And I’m going to have a good time and nobody is going to stop me! He criticizes everything I do, what I wear, the boys I go with, and how much lipstick I use. I’m sick of it!” Constance smiled. She had heard this so often in the past two years. “But you're still in school, Rosalind. When you’re out and have a job and earn your own money, he’ll treat you differently.” “Just wait until I’m making my own money. I won’t take anything from him then!" “He doesn’t mean to be unkind. It's just his way. He’s old-fash-ioned. He doesn’t want us talked about and you know how people talk.” “I don’t care what they say aboul me!” Her nails finished, she looker at them approvingly and ther looked at Constance. “Look whai they say about the girls in the Hills I’ve heard terrible things aboul them and it doesn’t hurt them. Be cause they’ve got money, that’s why But I’ll get there. In the Hills, I

mean. They have everything, don’t they? Avis Bailey buys all her clothes in New York and Paris.” She hugged her knees and sighed. "Gosh, it would be marvelous if one of those boys fell in love with me and took me to the country club." Constance was tying her old blue silk negligee around her slim hips. Htr eyes scolded. “They have their world and we have ours. We don’t belong. You’d realize it if you were with them. They’d make yon feel it. There’s only unhappiness for you in the Hills, Rosalind.” But Rosalind gave her merry little laugh. “There’s gold in the Hills 1 Do you think I like dancing at the Red Slipper? I hate itl But

there’s no place else to go. My eyes bum from the smoke and the boys drink too much and the girls don’t know how to dress. It’s terrible. And the crowd is noisy and common. But the country c1ub....” She stood up. “I wish I had been bom somebody else.” “You can be me tonight,” Constance said cheerfully, “and wear my flowered crepe evening dress.” The red mouth puckered. “You’ve got Terry. He’s all you want. I guess if I knew somebody like him, I’d be satisfied, too.” Constance dressed quickly, her fingers nervous. The white pique evening frock was a year old but Terry had liked it last summer. Sitting at the dressing table, she slid a wide gold bracelet over her wrist and then gave her lustrous hair several quick strokes with a brush. For an instant her face between the two white lamps interested her. For years she had looked at herself between those two white lamps. The child Constance with her yellow hair in pigtails and freckles who had hated her thin face and prayed to be beautiful so that Terry would love her and ask her to marry him when she grew up; the sixteen-year-old Constance, cheeks red from the wind that January night, who had whispered to her reflection, “Terry loves me. He kissed me and told me tonight.” Th* door bell rang. Rosalind

opened the door and listened. “It’s Terry He can't wait to see you. I’ll be down in a few minutes.” She knew that he would be waiting at the bottom of the stairs Picking np her white coat* Jnd small white bag, she went into the hall. In the dim hail light Terry looked up and saw her slim white figure topped by shining hair. For a moment they just looked at each other with happy eyes. But the next moment she was in his arms, feeling his firm, warm mouth over hers. “You look wonderful!” he said finally. “Lord, it’s good to be home, good to see you." Each time he went away she was afraid he might be different when

be returned. Each time she lived in the agony of fear of girls who wait that his greeting might be casual, his kisses cool. But he was the same tall Terry with bronzed hair and brown eyes and swift smile. From upstairs Rosalind asked with sweet sarcasm, “May I come down now? I don’t want to intrude on a love scene.” And then came down, her dark curls dancing, the little train of Constance’s flowered crepe frock trailing on the steps. Terry said, “Hello, kid,” and kissed the small, vividly painted mouth she held up to him. He laughed. “I hope you don’t ki6s all the boys that way.” He put his arms around Constance and looked at her. “It wasn’t my idea to go to the Red Slipper tonight but this young one waylaid me, cried on my shoulder, and said if we didn’t go, she couldn’t.” “Don’t talk so loud,” Rosalind said. “Father will hear you.” The bell rang again and Bill Stanton, immaculate in white linen, came in. Mrs. Darby, hearing four young voices in the hall, came out of the dining room. Everyone seemed to be talking at once. Her hand in Terry's, Constance thought. “This is my whole world, my family and Terry. They are all I ever wanted."
