' HAPTER XXL “Everything’s all right again! Glenn loves me! We’re p.ing to bo married!" Fifth avenue was beautiful. The shops were beautiful. The flewert she bought, recklessly, were beautiful. The days were beautiful. The nights were beautiful. She tried to be cautious, to remind that nothmr was car* tain, that anything could happen, nut pho couldn’t, .. 1 0 * rn ". who ••»d so little, said W ait for me—don't let anyone else yteal you!’* It meant everything. It meant he cared, as she cared. He didn't even want to go to Europe, and leave her that little while. He * a '‘ l *b*t. too. The three months would be over soon. July, August, September. He’d be back in Sep. tember.,. Its father liked her too. There d be no need for them to wait, they eould be married right away. It would mean going back home, but as Glenn’s wife it would be different. <’on«tanre might even come bark with her English hu»band. They'd be "the young married set.” There would bo parties, dinners, dances. They'd come to New York often, as the Kcott'a used to do. They’d travel ... It seemed so near, so sure. Night after night she went to Tanja’s, sat around talking with Gladys and Ix»la and King until nearly morning. Khe knew that she did mo>t of the talking, the’ rhe talked too much. Already “Glenn” wa« a living personality to them all. King no longer rat in his comer and read Ho rat and talked, too. When eh,*rose to go, finally, he Went with her, walking the long blocks to her club. Sometimes they stopped at an all night coffee shop, and talked over their randwich and coffee another hour or two. She saw, in her own loneliness, her own need, his. "Everyone needs someone"- -as Blanche raid, long ago. King needed someone. Perhaps he even thought he needed her—he a ted that way sometimes. Hut if he dne«, he'll get over it, ►he told herself lightly. He’ll get over it! So she d.-mi«>ed King's hearta< hr if heartache it was -and tried, less successfully, to dismiss h- r own For as the days and weeks slipped by, and there tame no real v or<| from Glenn, ansietj* crept into her hrait again. Night after night she raced home from the office, waited, breathing hard, not from the rush, for the desk girl to give her her key and her mail. "You're sure there's nothing? ! s»ok under the T’s. Sometime* Miss Teiry gets my letters in her Ims. .. Nothing? Oh yes! I know you just gave me a letter, but that Wasn't the one I I was waiting for.” Then back to Tanya's, al! the joy pone out of the day. all the life an 1 light out of Fifth Avenue, the *hop window* blank a* dead eye*. She made a great joke of it. telling Gladys and Nula how Glenn never, never wrote, how a p eture of the Eiffel tower with "Here We are in that gay Parse," scrawled on it, was his idea of a love letter. Hut it wasn’t a joke. Rhe was hurt, and she was worried The davs grew warmer, then a belaterl sum mer burst upon them, and < nee more there was a vacation to think about. Against Mr. Bottingrr * advieg, she put hers off until HepGmber. "I'd rather have it when the heat is over. The time 1 really nerd a vacation is in the fall," »he told him. and In fart, the idea of being fr»« when Glenn got back wa almo-t Rs good a* a vacatit n. Certainly it wa* a tonic.

As always, the heat made her thin and pale. The family wrote, asking her to come home, at least for a week. One of Blanche’s friends had a cottage he The beach and Linda really longed to go for a week-end, but waa afraid. It waan’t time to tell yet, and Blanche would ask too much. Better to wait. Toward the end of August, just when she was expecting word of hie sailing, Glenn wrote that they were taking another month, and when the month waa almost up. and onee more she waited day after day for his letter, growing still thinner, working harder and harder to endure the wait, she got the news. It was the longest letter he had ever written her. She tore the envelope with clumsy, trembling Angers, began reading it in the elevator, on her way to lycr room. "End of a wonderful summer ... on our way home at last..." She skipped through that part. That would keep. “You may have suspected, from what I said about Ruth Wagner, one evening when her name was brought up, that I liked her pretty well." Suspected? What did he mean? Why was he talking about HER again? Linda skimmed ahead, feverishly. ‘‘We saw quite a bit of each other, off and on. last year, and, this June, Ruth and her mother happened to sail on the ship with dad and me—" Happened to sail . . . HAPPENED to sail. That would be what THEY'D say! “And so I don’t think yeu will lie too surprised when I tell you that we're engaged to be married, and very, very happy.” Linda licked her dry lips. She felt a little sfek, but she didn’t fully realise what he was raying She pushed her hair back from her forehead There's no air in this room, she thought irritably. No ventila tion. I’m going to move — She read on. About their accidental ... oh, it was funny! Their accidental meeting in Switzerland, and again in Brittany. And now i they were coming home. Not together, because Ruth and her mother were staying to shop in Paris, but he and his fa'her, on the Normandie. And the wedding would be in November, or December, ami he knew Linda would be pleased, and Ruth would want her to come and visit as soor a* »hey were settled. and renew old times, and he was, a* ever, affectionately here, Glenn Harrison McAllister. Linda tore the letter into four pieces ami dropped them into the waste basket beside her. Then she picked them up and tore .each piece into many little pieces and the tiny scraps fell like snow. And when there was nothing left to | '"ar, she threw herself on the narrow lay hen and wept aa she hadn’t ’ wept since the day that Grandma . I'ologne died, when she was not much more than a child. For now, as then, her world was destroyed. It would be easier not to fa-e the crowd at Tanya's, but f» had to be ' done, so in a day or two Linda did it. i “Had a letter from Glenn last night,” she said, and before anyone could speak, or ask any queations about it, she added quite limply, as if it were the moat natural thing in the world. “He’a just got himself -r.gage.!, to another old friend-” “Not CONSTANCE’” Nola cried “No' She’s married, and off on ner honeymoon with her husband by now No, another girt. Ruth Wag nor. I don’t believe 1 ever spoke of her, I feel rather cut up about it. l 1 never liked the Wagner girl end Cknn'a a swell person. She’ll never nioke him happy. Rut- there's *m'.r itig I can de about it. It's his funeral!"

But Linda wasn't deceived. She knew that they were just sparing her feelings, and they’d hash it all over as aoon as she left But when she said rhe was golne to go on home because she was tired Gladys wouldn’t hear of it. "What do you want to go all the way home for? Btay with ua, for tonight." "Or you ean stay with me’’ Nola said. "I've got room too.” "Listen, Linda—aren’t you getting sick of that damn old ladles home of yours? We can EASILY manage to take you in again, and we can all get together and have some fun.

She even forg>t wh.it she had noticed before, the' King was a little too interested in her.
