CHAPTER XVII i No, it couldn't be. Julie just couldn’t come. "Edward," she told him. "mother's worried that she did the wrong thing, sending me up here, and she sort of want* me to come back, and stay with her until you’re really on I your feet—’’ He was changing into old clothes, to wear to the service station. He sat down on the bed, to take off hi* best white buck shoes. “Sort of slow on the trigger, isn’t she?" "What do you mean?” i "I told her all that. She couldn't see it at the time.” il “Mm ... that's what she said. She said she thought you were very sen- ' sible, and she’s sorry she was stupid about it Os course, she doesn't expect me to give you up, or anything 1 —what did you say? I thought you said something. And she said I eouid | bring you. too, only she just sort of wanted me to come, for a week-esd, or something, to Ulk things over—’’ "What things?" "Well—different things." “Do you want to go?’’ "Just that she wanted to talk thing* over.” "How about Bee’s tea And Mom's family dinner for us on Sunday? And 1 can't go anyway—not even for a week-end. You could, of course, except that we could use th* dough you'd spend and it's kind of unusual, the bride leaving in the middle of the honeymoon, isn't it? Though, of course, if you want to go—" No—it wouldn’t do. She couldn't leave Edward, not even for a weekend Not even to get away from his ' mother. “I eaa talk her out of it," she said. But could she? That was the question. • • • Meanwhile, Mari* kept thinking •f the Helene who had 'phoned Edward a few days before.... She'd made up her mind not to ask a single question about this Helene, partly because she wasn’t going to be one of those jealous wives, and principally because Be* and Mrs. Wilsoa kept bringing up the subject, wafting for her to ask questions. For two long days and nights she kept to her resolve, but on the next night Eddie was a little late getting home. “Helene Bhillsr limped in with a puncture just a* we were elosing, so I took her home. She'd like to meet you some time, honey." "Oh I That would be nice. I mean, if she'd like me. Did she mind very much — your getting married, I mean?" “Who? Helene?” He threw back his head and laughed. “That's good. She'd die at that! Gosh, baby, what would Helene Shiller want to get married for?" Marie drew back a little. Edward acted so queerly about thing* sometime*. Why shouldn't Helene or anyone else want to get married? Edward dismissed the nuestlon, once and for all. “Listen, honey—this I* a great big world. Helene was married one*—so she's got that eff her mind She—" "Divorced?" “You sound Just Ilk* Mom? Sure, why not! And nice, fat alimony—that stops if she marries again, so, a* far as 1 know, she's not looking for a husband.” "Just a boy friend.” "Just a little fun. She doesn’t have to look far either. A swell looking girl, swell car, swell apartment, good sport—” "Then what doe* *he want to meet me for? To see what you saw in me?" "Now, look here, Mari*,” he said firmly, "you're going to spoil a lot of things If you go sour on this. I’m no saint and I never pretended to be—l told you I was a loss in th* first letter I ever wrote you. What’s more I don't want a saint for a wife, and if you and I are going to get along—” She broke into tears—" Oh. Edward—l'm not really jealous—”

After the bualne** meeting eonte*tg' • era enjoyed, with first prlre being* awarded to Mrs. Edgar Gerlier and second to Mrs. M. F. Wort.iman. At i I the close of the evening a lovely!

"Don’t cry so—please, sweet! Besides, there's nothing to be jealous of. You're th* only girl I ever really loved—ever will. The rest—” "Oh. Edward —1 know. But don't talk about the rest. I don’t care a thing about them, but let's not Ulk about them. I'm—l'm just sort of worried—your mother doesn't like me. and I nearly go crasy, with nothing to do all day—" "Now be sensible! A minute ago you were all washed up from walking all over town trying to find an apartment!” “Yea—but that isn't anything. It's feeling that I’m useless her*— your mother won’t even let me dust without doing it over after me. and then she say* ahe'a tired!" "I wish you wouldn't pay any attention to her!" "Oh, that's easy for you to »ay. But it's ao hard for me. And I worry about Mom. It would be awful if she should come up Mom would say things” He sighed. "Let's try to forget our families for a while. We’d bhappy if it weren t for them. 1 wish w* were orphans I” "EDWARD!” “Well -I do!" It was unfortunate that Mr*. Wilson's family dinner had to be the very day after Bee's tea Each felt that the other should h.w* postponed her party And when Hee was talkmg about her plana, her mother felt hurt bee*use she thought someone ought to be saying something about the Sunday dinner It seemed queer that th* relative* didn't just drop in, but no, thing* weren't done that way in the Wilson house On Thanksgiving the Wilsons ate with Aunt Jessie and Uncle Bert Horton, and on Christmas day the Hortons, including Uncle Bert's sister Ada, and her family, ate with th* Wilsons. And on New Year's day, the combined force* of Wilson and Horton descended upon sister Ad* and th* Lemnke's. Now, th* holiday get-to-gether season being out of th* way. and th* next regular gathering a good eight months off, it took a lot of arrangtar First ther* was th* menu. Nothing but turkey seemed right, for they'd always had turkey together. First a Horton turkey, with bread and sage and onion stuffing, then a Wilson turkey, with tn- same Then a Iwmnbe turkey, with on* of Ada's experiments in the way of oysters or chestnuts, and the inevitable apology: "I know you folk* Ilk* your own reeipe for dressing, but I just thought I'd try something different. It read nice, but 1 don't know's it's turned out so good. It look* kind* soggy--” Wear ied of listening to her mother argue about “turkey or something else—maybe ham” while the was trying to strike a eompiomise between the four table* of bridge that she could afford, and the six that ■ho really ought to have. Bee cried, "Oh, for heaven*' sake get a turkey I Then you know they won't be disappointed!" “I would, only It seem* kind of out of place, not being a holiday. Ham i* always niee, only ham I* for Fa's birthday and this I* March. April. May, June--Jun* twelfth—would that be too soon for another ham?" "No, It would be wonderful I" Be* groaned. So ham it was to be. "Sunday all right for th* Ismnk«s?" Fop asked. ' "Y*«, if w* have it early. I told Ada two o’clock sharp. That gives Jessie and Bert time to get back from church, and Elwin and Irwin ean come, too. only they hav* to leave early because they're going somewhere els* later.” Edward put on hl* hat "You can .sav* a ham sandwich for me. I'm working Sunday. Nobody seemsd to remember, and I didn't want to interfere with the dear Urnnkes and Hortons and their ham. You'll have to have your reception for th* bride

■■■ 1 " ———■w alone. The bridegroom's going to be pumping gas!” Edward .held out for two days, and then, worn down by his mother'* red-rimmed eyes, her stooped shoulders, the patient patter of her feet as she cooked, and scrubbed, and polished and ironed for the feast that would lack the Prodigal Son, he broke down and asked for Sunday off. Marie was worried because he said that the boss didn't like it much. “Suppose he fire* you?” she asked anxiously, for she'd found a little apartment—really not bad at ali, for 922 —and all it needed was hi* approval, and the assurance that they could pay the rent. “Then I’ll tell him to go to—,” Edward returned brightly. "But if you do, we can't move!" , “No. But we’re a lot better off here than we’ll be in any place you .•an get for 9221" "But it will be OURS!” “Sure. After we get in and lock the door. You said yourself that it was just a housekeeping room, really, and we'd have to use the community bath, and come in the main entrance with the rest of th* family. Heck, we’ve got that here! “Now my idea is something with it* own entrance—and ita own bath. If you knew how I hated rooming! You don't know--you never lived any place but home. But I've had plenty of rooms. Had one in Hollywood the year I worked in picture*. “Everybody’s nose in everybody el**’* business, always meeting somebody in the halls bathroom door always locked when you want to get in 1 Say, I wouldn’t go through that again!” What do you think I'm going through now? The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she didn’t say thorn. He wouldn’t understand. There was one thing about all the festivities—it gave her something to write about to her mother. After all of Julie's clamoring for details, it was fine to be able to writs: “Bee gave a bridge tea for me at on* of the big hotel* thi* afternoon. Edward's working tonight, so I hav* time to writ* to you. “It was an awfully big affairfive tobies, really nicer than anything the girls gave for Sheila before she was married. I wore my red and white print, with a DARLING huge black hat I bought <! guess I didn't tell you I got caught in th* rain with my other black hat) and your clip, and Bee got a new black and white eocktoil suit that she ran use for other things, too. and her friend, Ritchie Huntsman (A VERY GOOD LOOKING BOY) sent us each corsages, her a HUGE bunch of whit* violets, and me a darling tight bouquet of red carnations, so Bee had the flowers on the tobies red and white, too. "We played bridge and then they served lovely tea or coffee or chocolate and little sandwiches and cake* and ices.” "TEA!" Julie snorted a* she read. "TEA!" But sh* read the whole letter over to Charlie, and when he said, "There, you see, the kid's getting ak.ng all right up there!” she felt better than sh* had for weeks She picked up the letter again "Edward's mother is having a big mob for dinner tomorrow—al) family, in honor of Edward and me. So all kinds of preparations have been going on, and beside*, Edward and I run around town every moment we get, looking for a place to live and I'm dead tired, so I'm going to say good-night. "You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find an apartment In this town—at least one that Edward think* is good enough for met So until I writ* again, the address I* th* same—car* of Edward's mother. "All my love, "Marl*." “Yes," Julie said again. “Ye*. I guess you're right, Charlie. I guess < I’m just a worrying old fool.” (To Be Continued) OwnlsM. ISM, »r BM tsMsra srssiwu. Im '
