CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE RUFUS returned Dianes smile. “Seen Page lately?” "Not for several days. I called her today Rufus!" Suddenly she was an are of something different ir. his manner. "Rufus, you’re going to tell me—" "If she hasn't. Page ami I arc going to me married. Sometime,” he added. Diane put out both her bands to his "Grand, Rufus! Oh. 1 am very glad! I can take some of the credit for It. can’t I? You met her at my wedding!” Rufus laughed. "Yes. the credit's yours.” For more reason than Diane knew, perhaps "J m not surprised,“ Diane continued. "Page said something one day But Rufus looked surprised. "She did?" "The way girls talk together! She said she was thinking ol it!” She saw his face cloud a little. "She's had to think it pretty welt out It wasn't love at first sight with her. And she still has a tight ahead of her." "You mean with her family?" Rufus nodded. “It's postponed till after a trip they're taking. I was all for wilking in on them and giving them the facts, but Page wants to handle it and she thought it was a little cruel to spoil their plans for this jaunt.” Diane wondered swiftly if he were thinking what she was. That Page was putting it off because she did not have the courage to face it out. Plans for a motor trip were not so very important! "It isn't—" Bhe was going to say: "their affair." But she did not finish, realizing how empty the denial was. She w rink lad her brow, considering. She liked him so much that she hated having anyone look dm. n on him! "Rufus, maybe if you told Page what you taW me that day, told her family-" Their drinks had come. Rufus took a full swallow of his. smiled over his gtasx Hut his smile had no amusement in it "I'd be more acceptable as a son-in-law? At the coat of such compromise with myself, the position would he too dearly won.” 1 he shake of his head was almost angry. Diane remembered her anger when she had looked over the gathering at Mrs. Arden's table and awn them so entrenched behind their superiority of family. "I’m certain, now. that Bill’s family had to take an awful gulp to swallow me! And Dad and Paula. Dad's money didn't make any difference. Really, they don't think of money! Ami that's all I had Midi of me. I didn't see it that way at the time; if I had t'd have laughed at it. I'd have said it didn't make a darn bit of difference, not even if I went a Hindu girl—or like Tcpsy, wasn't it. who just growed.' As iong as Rill •wUd m i&j I wpat«w two.

Rufus, it SHOULD be that way!” By a slight lift of his shoulders Rufus the fact that it wasn't. “I thought," Diane went on, her lingers tracing the pattern in Uw paper dotly before her, “that what Bill and I were to each other would have nothing to do with anyone, outside. With Bill's family, or mine. That It would be just our two selves. Oh. no one interferes, it isn’t that! But it’s between us. something you can’t give a name— Why, sometimes I feel as much married to that fxnst Judge William Arden hanging in our living room as I am to Bill! To all of them, since his day!” She lifted eyes bright with defiance, finished, furiously: "What if I never find the real Bill, for all of them?” Now it was Rufus who put his hand out to cover hers. “You will, if you stick to it. I think you've the fight in you it takes!" Diane squeeze ! his hand before she drew hers away. "Rufus, you always say just the word I m«d to hear! And when I need to h*-ar it! I was ready to—compromise! Now I won't!” "Don't, and command me at anytime." Rufus answered, lifting his glaju to her. She lifted her own. "Pledged in coca cola!" Then she exclaimed: "Rufus! You said five minutes!” He looked at bis wrist, affected horror. "That’s what happens when you let a blonde get you in tow." "And we've been talking of me and my affairs, inrteed of you and Pag*!" "There isn't anything more to say of that than I’ve told you," Rufus answered brusquely. "Indeed there la," Diane asserted, the warmth in her voice partly her very real indignation at Page.; "I can tell you I hope you're awfully happy!" "Thanks," Rufus said. He put a coin on the check, got to his L et, a little abruptly. “Come along, my ally, before I lose my job." Hi* hand under Diane's arm. he rteered her before him through the maze of little tables. “Diane!" It was Mrs. Anlen, Senior. Allithen Matthewson rat with her at a table in Df ”te'a and Rufus' path. "Oh, helio!" Diane returned. 'Wave you met Rufus Kent?” Making it.sound a privilege, for Rufus, coat lean, his shirtsleeves wrinkled where he'd roiled them up and down, hla hair roughened, would not impress them favorably. “I've heard Bill speak often of you. Mr. Kent," Mrs. Arden said, cordially. In an equally pleasant manner Allithea Matthewaau acknowledged the introduction. But Diane raw tha withdrawing in their eyes.

Bhe said haatily: "I didn't know you were sitting here. When did you come in?"

Mrs Arden answered first "We Uiefl tp catch your eye.”

"You were very much absorbed," Albthea Matthewson added. "Yes. Rufus holding my hand," Diane thought swiftly, with some consternation. But she gave n«> sign of it. "Going home? My car’s just around the comer. 11l dnve you.” "We've a little more shopping. Thanks for thinking of it ” "Thanks, my dear,” repeated Mrs. Arden. "See you soon!” Diane flashed a smile at them, swung away airily. Outside the door Rufus turned to her. grinning a little. "The rear flank of the enemy?” He gave a slight jerk of his head toward the candy shop behind them. Diane knew that he had seen the way they had looked, giving a different meaning to finding her and Rufus there, absorbed in each other. But he was ready to laugh at it. so she laughed. But when she had left Rufus and was walking toward her car a sudden dismay struck her. almost halt s! her step. They, Mrs. Arden and Aliithea. were remembering, of course, what Mie had said of Rufus—“convincing as a lover." “Oh. Rufus." she cried aloud, contritely. "I've hurt your cause, before your light begins!" Her bomb had been a pebble, she realized, thrown into a pool that was not accustomed to having pebbles thrown into it. Perhaps. tor a long time rhe must sec the ripples breaking „-,t t ie smooth surface of it, even to its far edges! • • • When Diane read In the Post that Mr. and Mrs. Edward Winston and Miss Page Winston were going from the White Mountaim to Nova Scotia, she put the newspaper down with a frown. Rufus deserved so much better than that. August was passing in a succession of oppressively warm days and nights. Heat rose thick and acrid from the pavements; grass plots yellowed; the leaves cm the trees along the streets hung limp, yellowing and curling. Every morning Bill said to Diane, with solicitude in his voice: "Take things easy teday, darling It's going to be hotter than yesterday," She did not tell him that she never had felt more like doing things. She was ashamed for sometimes being irritated by his concern. It was sweet, it was sincere, she reminded herself. R was what she wanted, wasn't it? Bill was bringing work home again. "A fellow suing the Thorpe Wirefence Company for an infringement on some patents he holds,” he explained to Diane. But a new self-confidence in his manner made the preparation for this suit almost negligible; after a half hour's concentration on it he would push it aside and suggest that they drive down to the waterfront and find a breets.

CLINTON P ANDERSON 1 S. - l A ' 1J American Mnß Women- HmH Your Used Fats Are Still Needed I America * hometnakerv have saved and turned in over 600 million pounds of used cooking fats since 1942. This is an average of nearly 20 pounds for each family in the United States. It is a record of which every woman can be proud. However, it is still necessary to conserve every pound of fat. since the over all fat supply situation is little better now than it was last year when we were desperately short, particularly of industrial fats. Manufacture of many of the things we all use and wear in our daily lives requires industrial fats or the products of industrial fata. Used cooking Cals turned in by American women have been and continue to represent an important part of our total industrial fats supply. Every pound of salvaged fat helps meet the need. / ClsxtMi P AaScrtoa, Secretary es Agrxrttur*
