SYNOPSIS Chickifv beloved and only daughter of an old-fashioned Gourde. Jonathan and Jennie Bryce, ex lerienees a wild sense of joy when Arthur Son tag kisses her on returning’ from "her first dance. He turns has attentions to Holly Bacon when he learns Chiekie loves him. Heartbroken, she starts on a business career. Chiekie' modesty causes her boss, Harry Lewis, to treat her stiffly. Sophisticated Janina • Knowles, a co-worker, gives Chiekie some very wrong pointers. Front a window across the way a young man starts a mild flirtation with Chiekie. She feels a bit lonesome since Mary her chum, has married Edward MePike, and she refuses Jimmy Blake's marriage proposal only because he is poor. Chiekie attends a party given especially tor her by wealthy Jake Munson. Bob and Ida Larkin and “Nicky,'' a bachelor, help create the gaiety which thrills Chiekie. Her flirtatious friend. Barry Dunne, takes her home unbeknown to the others. Her parents chide her for her late return and her father insists that he be permitted to meet her men friends In a resentful mood, she talks with Grandma Blake. GO ON WITH THE STORY By Elenore Meherin "If I’m any example, Chiekie. it’s the children that tell the parents where to head in.” "Yes! Maybe! But you take Jonathan—he thinks I ought to be the very same kind of a girl mother was. Stay at home night after night —be perfectly content to work and eat and sleep and never see any of the exciting things at all. He would not ask me to wear a hoopskirt or a bustle but he expects me to take all thosfe old ideas and just transport myself to the last century. Is that fair?” "Poor Jonathan! Don’t you see, Chiekie, that it’s only because he knows the old road was safe and led to a sure goal? How can the poor man know where the paths a girl takes today are going to twist? They run blind through a wilderness. Whether there’s a land of milk and honey beyond no one yet may say.” “Oh —you think we’re as bad as all that?” "Not bad—but terribly uncertain. Don’t be too hard on Jonathan.” “But just the same I think he ought to be satisfied with one life. Why should he expect to live two—his own and mine? And, anyway, I don’t think so much of those old days.” “No? Why?” "Well—well, do you know that Jennie never kissed a man but Jonathan and not till she was engaged and then only once In a while? Do you think there’s any harm in a kiss?” Martha laughed. "That depends 190 much on who gives it and who takes it, and whether it’s returned and taken again. You see, a kiss has such a way of weaving itself into an endless chain.” “I don’t mean that kind. I mean just one single kiss.” “That's an extinct variety, Chiekie. It went out of existence with the lavender and old lace of your mother’s day. The trouble with a kiss is this: It Isn’t a finality, but a prelude. A faint, sweet note that may at any moment and unaware melt into the crash of terrific and sweeping music. If you want to hear that, all right But If you don't, why listen at all?”

"I suppose, then, youV say a girl ought never at all to kiss anyone?" “I’d say that, but I know no girl would heed it.” Martha looked into Chickie’s flushed, eager face. Her own saddened a little. “So I’d say, instead, there’s no harm at all In one kiss, unless It leads to two. There's not much harm in two unless they lead to three. At three, stop!” Chiekie laughed and, going over put her arm around Martha's ample 1 waist. “Now, that's settled. I want to know something else. Did you ever hear of the ’Blessed Damozel’!’’ Martha sweeping the gold hair from Chickie’s neck, smiled. “Is that what he called you, Chiekie?” She quoted, softly: “ ‘The blessed damozel leaned out Prom the gold bar of heaven. Her eyes were deeper than the depth Os waters stilled at even She had three lilies in her hand And the stars in her hat. were seven.' “Don’t you know that. Chiekie? You must have studied it at school. Now wait. I used to know it all.” “Oh!” Chiekie cried rapturously. “Can’t you remember the rest?” To herself came the swift thought: "Poetry! He must be a highbrow.” Young Tommy just then dashed through the kitchen, grabbing a handful of sandwiches on the fly. He was ordered to halt. “Would you mind, Tommy dear—that old green book from my table.” “Qee whiz. Ma! Feller can’t come neear this house without having to do something. Gee whiz —criminee!” Before Martha could reach him he went flying up the stairs, came back, grining, giving her the book. • • • H”| ER rich voice brought forth glowing thf pictures and the L__J occasions of the beautiful lines. Chiekie listened wit a ripple in her heart. She took the tattered old green volume. "Lend it to me? Rossetti —is he a very great poet?” “Perhaps not very great, for he didn’t seem to know that beauty is only beautiful when its heart is truth. But he’s often very exquisite. Read the ones that are marked.” Mary went down the garden walk with Chiekie, whispering excitedly: "I knew it, Chiekie! You fell for him? He’s wild about, you!” “Oh, who, your eye! Jake Munson, of course!” Chiekie smiled sweetly: “No, Mary, old love, not Jake Munson.” When Mary heard the new name and head a little else, she shook her head wisely: “What did I tell you—settled down like me in less than a year! I see it plain as day.” “Like the deuce you do! I’ll have a' few years of freedom first.” Chiekie meant it. She felt as though a wonderous gate were swinging wide, inviting her into some joyous garden. She meant to enter: to loiter blithely along the happy paths. As soon as she was on the sidewalk she stopped short —a sudden clutch at her heart. A little roadster was at her door. He had come—already—without phoning. He was in the living room now Jonathan was talking to him.

She was half afraid to go Into the house. CHAPTER XVII To Kiss or Not I j HICKIE opened the door softf ly. half expecting some loud, I 1 precipitate talk to rush against her ears. Instead, Jonathan —quite a jovial, hospitable Jonathan —was coming down the hall. He said, pleasantly, “I was just going for you, Mr. Dunne is here.” Kindly like that, as though Mr. Dunne were his lifelong friend. Chiekie, standing on her toes, pinched his mustache, whispering smartly, "Well, smarty!” Yet she was so overjoyed and relieved to find no crude scene clashing In the living room that she became very magnificent and airy, sayirg, “Why, how do you do? I expected a phone.” Then seeing Barry Dunne, very snappy in gray tweeds and a glad holiday look about him, she ended payly, "It won’t take me a minute to get ready—gorgeous day, isn’t it?” ”1 thought we’d take a run down the country. We can have dinner later on when we get back How’s that with you?” “That will be very charming with me.” She winked daringly into

Barry Dunne's eyes. "But how about you, Jonathan, old dear?” She was immediately frightened at her flippant boldness and ran out of the room before Jonathan could answer. When she returned in a little* while, very shiny eyed and flushed, in a soft green hut and a black dress he only said casually, "Don’t stay too late. Now, mind you, it was all hours when you got to bed last night.” To her astonishment. Barry answered, "We’ll be home around 10 or so. We’ve both got to work tomorrow." Quite a master stroke Chiekie thought. As she took her place he gave her a quick, winning smile, helping her most gallantly. She wondered if the neighbors might be watching behind the curtains; if they were saying, “Now, who is that? If that girl hasn’t enough admirers'." He had an ”air’ about him,

inquiry: "That dad of yours pretty sore about last night?” "Oh —what makes you think that?” After all, had Jonathan said some bald, stinging things? “He didn't call you about it, did he?” “No—just put two and two together—my business, you know, lie keeps tab on you, all the time?” “Indeed, yes! I'm his little pearl, you know. And I think he'd be pleased to have me live and die in my shell without anyone ever once giving me the glad eye.” She spoke with hurried, earnestness, for this red head with his pleasant eyes, his beautifully set head, had such a clear, kind look of understanding. •'Well, he said, cheerfully, ”we can’t let him gkt away with that! Doesn't he like Jake?’’ “He doesn’t know him." “I thought you and Jake were old friends.”

“Why, no—Jake is Janina's friend.” Barry Dunne shot one of the quick, dubious glances he had several times given her. He said nothing. After awhile he shrugged: “Well, neither you nor I will be much of a friend to Jake henceforth.” “Will he be very furious?” “He will. He’s murdered men for less. I should worry!
