tracted Stephen Fowler four years ago—and held him steadily since then, Four years is a long time when one is young, and in love, and, a8 Judith stood there waiting for Steve, she wondered how much longer it would be before they would marry. Four years they'd known each other, and had planned {> marry for at least three of those. Oblivious to the passing throng, forgetting to be impatient at Steve's tardiness, Judith fell to musing about those four years. As clearly as if it had been day before yesterday she remembered their meeting. It was at a skating party arranged by “Virginia Bent, and it had been Virginia who had fixed the “date” between Judith and Steve. On the way home that night, snug with a robe in the 'back seat of Robert Bent’s car, Steve had talked with her in a low, bantering tone. “Do you remember the October of 1929?” he had asked. Judith laughed.” “I've heard my elders talk about it, Wasn't there & market crash?” 8he remembered his lugubrious answer. “Crash? Say, airplanes

crash sometimes, and automobiles’

crash frequently. But a market does something worse than that. I don't think there's a word for it!” Judith smiled when she thought of that. Everyone had still been talking about “the crash” then. Nobody—yct—was willing to believe in a depression. “But the reason I brought it up,” Bteve had said, “was because I...” “Well?” x > He looked down at her, and she had been unable to tell whether or not he was serious. “If I'd met you before that fatal October, I think we'd be Mr. and Mrs, Stephen Fowler by. this time.” 1. -. x

2 » 8 UDITH remembered that, standing “there in front of the big office building where she worked. In front of the .big office building where, because of the depression,

she had dropped from a position &s secretary down fe a job as typist -—and an overworked typist at that. He had taken her skates with him on that first night because, he said, he knew of the “only place in town” where they could be properly sharpened. And of course, once they were * sharpened, he had to return them to her.. That was the beginning. 8he did not remember so clearly all that had happened between then and now. There had been happy moments; but there had been tearfu ones, too, because they were in ove. She wouldn't have traded any of them. She wouldn't have wanted

to go back to that first day, and re-

Jive these last four years without Steve Fowler. And yet . . . yet she knew that they couldn't go on forever, being engaged and in love. Steve knew it, too. jp But he always wanted to wait a ~ Jittle while longer. It had been a blow to him when he had stopped being a sales manager and became & salesman with a quota to meet instead of a quota to set. Bub gradually he had forgotten that, and had started to work with a will. Gradually he was climbing back— but not fast enough to suit him. Not to the point where he felt he should marry. From the very first, Judith had ‘favored a marriage wherein she retained her job and helped out with the expenses. But Steve could never quite see it. Steve had always had the idea that a husband should support his wife wholly, and support

ence against economic conditions had turned him inward toward him-

self instead of outward toward the

girl he loved. ” FJ ® UDITH was afrdfid—and because she was afraid she had resolved to-make one final effort to convince Steve that her original proposition had been right. He had a good job with a promising future; and she had a passable job which would help things out until Steve’s future transformed itself into the present. It was. so utterly sffnple. It was so utterly sane. And Stephen Fowler must be made to see that it was both. Protectively, Judith’s mind clicked shut against that possibility. Days ago she had made up her mind as to her course if he still refused to k 2 ‘sensible. But she did not want to think about it now. She did not want to believe that he'd fail to choose between her and his foolish pride. “Hello, Judith . . . Darned sorry I'm late. Fellow dropped in just as I was leaving, and I couldn't get away. °°’ : Startled by Steve's voice at her shoulder, she turned ‘swiftly, and there must have been a part of her thoughts reflected in her eyes, for
