wondered why, after several years as! Hallowell & Benton's most highly paid designer of private homes, Lance's salary cut had left him so completely without funds for ancing their own home... . But just how had he expected to pay for all this [in the beginning? . She almost asked him, but caught herself up in time to say very quietly; “Then, Lance, if my suggestion seems too imphactical, perhaps you will tell me what you~ think we ought to do” ‘Lance - leaned his elbows on the table, his face slowly flushing.

“Well, I—this has all caught me|

‘sa suddenly. . . . I'll have to havej - time to see what I can arrange. ... It’s damnable, Janet, that it had to happen now—after the .invitations are all out gnd—everything.” Janet sald steadily: “I suppose the invitations could be recalled— and everything.” . He was silent so long that sh thought she had hurt him beyond speech. . . Then he said incredibly, stilt without lifting| his eyes, “You mean you’d—be willing to postpone the wedding for awhile?” 2 ad 2

What I'm asking myself is whether I have a right | to let you in for marriage with’ things as | they are. It's—surely you see what a risk we'd be taking. And the responsibility would be all mine.” : © “Oh, yes,” Janet said gently. “I'm beginning to see.” “But, Gaslin; you don’t see. I can tell that from yaur face. . . . Really, Janet, don’t you think - youre being rather ¢ unreasonable ~ about this?” | “I have told you that I will have! | Aunt Mary recall the invitations,” Janet said. “Oh, let’s get out of here,” Lance cried, getting abruptly to his feet. | —As they |went out into the crisp | September| air, Janet could not believe that |it had all actually hap-, | pened.

But argue! | with herself as she might, her sense | +. of hurt and humiliation persisted. ‘| On the way home they talked about everything but their own af- | fairs and finally about Cynthia and : | Timothy Benton.

ANET lasked, “How old is he really, Lance, and what is he like? T've never seem him, you know.” | “Well, he’s a big bruiser, dark | and well set up—so ugly he’s almost | handsome, About 43, I should say; | but he seems to have crowded enough ~ into 43 years to last some men 100 \ —mining [in Peru, drilling oil wells Tr Mexicp, construction work in + South Africa, and the war.

i i ELLING Aunt Mary was not so

hard as she had imagined. The
