SYNOPSIS NANCY was pretty, a GAGE, and a blue-blood, even though she did live on the other side of tne railroad tracks. But Nancy just couldn’t help falling m love and becoming engaged to handsome ERIC NELSON, whom she had met at Edith Harcourt’s. a rich school chum. Nancy's pride causes her to break the engagement when she nnd6 that Eric's mother is a laundress at the Harcourt’s. Unable to stand the tension of her enforced separation from the man she loves, Nancy goes to live in San Francisco. Here she meets Jerry Hall, a man about town, whom Nancy starts going with when she hears that Eric is interested in another girl. Nancy’s father is suddenly injured and Nancy, now without funds is forced to take Jerry into her confidence. He tries to impose on her trust, however, thus compelling Nancy to work out the enigma for herself. Through a former school chum. Sue Martin, who works in a big department store, Nancy gets a job. She then goes to live with Sue. Edith Harcourt journeys to San Francisco and Nancy, visiting her, meets Richard Adams whose sister. Chloris, is interested in Eric Nelson. Richard and Nancy become good friends. Nancy later meets Eric, at her request, and he tells her he is in love with another. Nancv suspects the girl is Chloris. This suspicion is confirmed when Nancy attends a birthday party of Chloris’s and sees Eric, who is now her fiance. Nancy is distraught with unhappiness. CHAPTER XXXVII Chloris drifted back into the library, humming a little tune. She stood before the mirror over the mantel and smoothed her hair Yet her expression was not a happy one. Disappointed, Nancy decided, because Eric wouldn’t stay over the week-end. Whatever the reason, she seemed keyed to a higher pitch than before. She sat on the arm of Richard’s chair and blew cigarette smoke down his neck. She chattered continuously, asking questions whose answers she did not wait to hear. Until about an hour later, when the telephone rang. Then she became a frozen image of concentration. Before the maid who answered could repeat her name she had flashed into the hall. Her voice came, muffled, with little, broken exclamations. •‘Well, I WONDERED Will you? Will you truly?” Then with a sudden, deeper tenderness, “I know you do! Goodnight!” . v Even in the midst of her own fierce pain, Nancy was surprised that Chloris was capable of so much emotion. Richard, smiled. “She is upset tonight. They’ve probably quarreled.” “Eric has the patience of a saint,” sighed Auntie. “Sometimes I wonder if he is firm enough with her.” “If they only knew how “firm” Eric Nelson could be! But perhaps he wouldn’t be with Chloris. A changed girl returned to them. She took a cushion and sank upon the floor against her aunt’s knees. Her boyish, satin-clad figure was a splash of crimson beauty against the dull background of the older woman’s gown. But she sat quietly content. staring into the fire, lost in dreams Dreams Nancy could imagine, of. o! ekeyes, firm arms and lips pressed madly against her own. The memory swept her to her feet.

“I’ll have to go.” Chloris, rising, held out her hand. “I want to see more of you Nancy. Will you have time to lunch with me some day?” Nancy responded, drawn and repelled by opposing tides of emotion. Back in the safety of Richard’s car she permitted her tense muscles to relax. And hearing her weary little sigh, Richard asked: “What was the matter, Nancy? You didn’t have a good time.” “Yes, I did. You were so nice to me and your aunt is lovely.” “Chloris wasn’t herself,” he apologized. “I know her so well. Her gayety was forced tonight. Overdone.” His voice was worried. “That sister of mine is a problem. She needs guidance, but with a lot of rope.” “I imagine so,” Nancy agreed. Hesitantly she added, “She didn’t seem as happy as I had expected her to be.” “Oh, Chloris is swayed by a million moods and fancies. But the wisest thing she can do will be to marry Eric Nelson. His stability will give her just the balance she needs. Nancs said nothing and Richard added, * , A prince of a man. Don’t you agree with me?” “Yes,” she said faintly. She did. she had always thought so. There was silence. Nancy was so absorbed in her own feelings that she was not considering his. She was startled when he said earnestly, “It made me very happy to see you in my home. tonight. You so thoroughly belonged.” “It’s sweet of you to say so, Richard.” “Sweet of me? My dear, I wanted to say so before all of them.’; They had reached her rooming house and he lifted her oift with eager arms, whispering. "Is that all you have to say to me?” If only he wouldn’t make love tonight. While every nerve was quivering with a fresh realization of all Eric had meant to her. “I’m very tired, Richard.” “You’re evading me, Nancy. I know you think you are still in love with the other man. If I thought you were I would leave you alone. But I don’t. It’s the memory of him that is hurting you. Little intimacies . . . Details that torture long after love has flown.” “But, oh,” she gasped, determined to be honest with both herself and him. “The memories are so vivid. The very idea of loving any one else hurts. I’d only be remembering how KE kissed me.” Richard patted her hand. “Never mind! I’m confident you’re half over it. And think how comfortable it would be to love me, Nancy. What good times we could have.” He added boyishly. “At

any rate, you haven’t asked ME not to love you.” His tone was so cheerfully unsentimental that Nancy could easily have loaded all the weight of her unhappiness an 4 humiliation upon his shoulders. But she was beginning to realize that there are some troubles no other human soul can share; problems no one else can solve; crosses which must be borne alone. And she could not encourage him with the voice of her first lover still ringing in her ears. “My heart is a battered old wreck, Richard. I’ve nothing to offer any man. Not even you.” Next day he sent her a thin, little book entitled “Love Songs.” by Sara Teasdale. And one he had underlined. “My first love gave me singing, t My second eyes to see. But, oh, it was my third love, Who gave my soul to me.” Nancy, reading it that bright Sunday morning, wondered if such a .thing were possible. She had loved Eric and lost him. She had tried to love Jerry and failed. And Richard was such a darling. Then she came upon a shorter poem called “Joy.” “I am wild, I will sing to the trees, I will sing to the stars in the sky. I love, I am loved, he is mine, Now at last I can die.” “I am sandaled w.ith wind and with flame, I have heart-fire and singing to give, I can tread on the grass or the stars, Now at last I can live.” It left her breathless, starry-eyed, and she rose and laid the book away. Because she would not read
