Yesterday: Somehow, with aching heart, Judy lives through Dwight’s wedding, wishes him well, but she wonders. 3 if he will be happy with Marvel.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN UDY saw Jack Hanley almost - every night. They played monop“oly at the Bells’ house, although Bill continually complained that if the stakes were seafights and pro-

motions instead of real estate and|

railroads, he'd like the game better. They danced at the club, and went to see movies, and dropped in at parties on the station. Judy was scarcely aware, she told herself firmly, that Dwight Campbell was now Marvel's husband, and away on a honeymoon with her.

Then the Campbells returned.! And to everyones incredulous sur-| prise, Marvel leased a house close to the station. “I should have thought! she’d take the royal suite at the Coronado,” said Diane. “She had that before. Maybe a house is a change.” “But such a house. Actually it's small!” : ] * The Navy was soon to be undecieved about Marvel's house. Small it might be, but she was bent on ‘making it perfect. Things arrived from exclusive shops in Los Angeles and San Francisco. There was whisspering of antiques, of an interior decorator, of amazingly intricate glass curtains, drapes and over- ; drapes. Judy tried not to be curious, not to want to see Dwight. And then the invitation came. A house-! warming. Judy turned it over in| her fingers. Marvel should have called, as a new bride, on the Ad-| miral and then in order on each of the wives of the officers next in| : rank. But Marvel was doing this! her own way. ’ Judy thought of the meticulous Navy gradings. The numbers that even in officers of the same rank | determined once and forever who! called on whom first on arriving at a new station. This might seem ridiculous to people on the outside. Probably it seemed ridiculous to Marvel; if she so much as knew of it, which Judy dogbted. But there were good and sufficient reasons for the

law. As a matter of fact, Jack Han-|

ley,» who had graduated second in his class at the Academy, outranked Dwight. s ” 2

T was a pity that Marvel should begin at once to flaunt tradition

~ and custom. Dwight had been careful about making his way from the first. He had accepted sage ad-

vice, done duty on a battleship as soon as he graduated. He had re- - guested transfer to a destroyer at the end of his three years, and for first shore duty chosen postgraduate work at the Academy. Now he was on the Texarkana, and his career was set. passed over. But he ‘wouldn't. At

had been no danger. Jack’s career had not been so cut ‘and dried. His choice of flying, his success in it, removed him from the - groove. And now his faith in dirigibles, his desire to get back to them, . was setting him still further apart. - Her mother came in and found her still with the card in her fingers. “Mrs. Alcott did not comment about the calls Marvel hadn't made. She

“Like!” said Judy. 7 “I expect the new house is very ‘beautiful.” “I am curious,” Judy admitted. At that, she might not have gone if Dwight hadn't come to see her one evening. He explained that Marvel was tied up in a beauty salon downtown. “I stopped by on my way home, but she said she'd be hours. I've wanted to talk to you, Judy.” The pulse in her wrists was leap‘ing, but she managed to speak to

UDY said slowly, “I don!t see how * J I can tell Marvel anything, It’s "her own business. And she—you'll pardon me, Dwight, but—I don’t * think she likes me very well.” - “Nonsense!
