SYNOPSIS Wealthy Sam and Helen Snow object to their daughter Gabrielle'* interest in handsome Peter Par* son* because be ha* no social background. Gabrielle thinks their disapproval unfounded because her father started aa a roustabout in the Oklahoma oil fields before he made his fortune in oil. She becomes angry when her mother reminds her of her Uncle Gabriel's win. which stipulates that if Gabrielle marries before she is 21; she is not to receive hie money until she reaches 35 With her Boston terrier. Odd, Gabrielle goes to breakfast at the • drugstore where Peter works as an •it-a-week soda clerk. A talented pianist Peter cccaaionaily stakes an extra |5 playing at a dance. Gabrielle assures Peter that she really cares for him. “Just having you and a piano ia heaven for me. he tells her. and that afternoon Peter got his wish when he visited Gaby during his hours off. and Mrs. Snow was at a bridge. CHAPTER THREE Peter played the puna, running in a few extra notes when the mood seized him, and humming beneath hi* breath the whole time. All at once, seeming to understand the theme, he swung into Ito tempo, playing it rhythmically. And together they aang the words; all about love and moonlight, June and rases, a boy and a girt... Violet went back into the kitchen and evidently on out back for the outside door slammed smartly behind her. Suddenly Peter turned sad eaught Gabrieli* to him breathlessly. He kissed her on the mouth, long vibrant kisses, and Gabrielle gasped but her eyes were shining. After all. it really was June! Just before five, whim Peter bad to leave, Gabffielle asked aofUy and a bit hesitatingly; “Would you like me to meet you tonight at 11. Peter?" "Could you. Gaby?" murmured Peter, hie mouth ag a ‘"»t her hair. “11l manage it," she whispered breethlesely. Shortly afterward Mrs. Snow came bustling ia from her party. “I had Um- meat marvelous hands all afternoon," she toM Gabrielle happily. “It's a real cloisonne vaee,” she added in awe to her disinterested daughter, exhibiting th* prixo. "How doe* sbe do it?" ehc demanded of Gabrielle. “I think it's elHy,” announced the girl. “Everyone trying to outdo everyone else," “WeiV observed her mother dryly. "I notice when It'* clothe, or P* rt '.** having, you always get the be*. we can allow you!" Gabrielle smiled suddenly, reaiiz ing how true her mother spoke. “Score one for you.
