With her is hand- ‘* some, dependable Philip Rogers, attorney for the magazine of which she is an ; associate editor and the man she is |! . soon to marry. She knows who is callt ing—Sandy Ammerman, daring, impul‘a aviator. Judy decided By intense , interest in Sandy was only infatuation when newspaper st linked him romantically th heiress Peg rdan. . Only question mark left in Judy’s now well-organized life is her secretary, Sara Fuller, jealous of Judy and obviously disloyal. :

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

- THE TELEPHONE bell pursued Judy and Philip down two flights ,of stairs, pealing steadily as though whoever was calling intended to ‘remain at his end of the phone until somebody came home to “answer. “It may be important,” Judy sugted

“gested. “Couldn’t be. I'm not on the other .efid of the line,” Phil answered. His voice was gay but his eyes were deeper, more serious than usual.

“Whenever your chest’s filled with medals I suppose the war’s over, sir.”

“Anyway, you've a train to catch.” Noting this, Judy suddenly introduced a new note into the conversation. “Phil, my darling, you may be the best buy on the market, but ‘there’s one word we aren't having ‘said when we stand together before the preacher. The word is ‘obey.’ It's too mid-Victorian. You think so, too, don’t you, down under your liver or appendix or some-| where?” : Phil's laughter was clear and ringing. He reached for her with strong arms, pulled her to him, and kissed her firmly, almost demandingly. For the moment the forgot || Sandy. As he released her she J; .smiled more radiantly than she had “for days. Phil was sweet. And devoted. And masterful. Maybe being| =& married to him would be more fun| than she had suspected. “I never knew ‘obey’ ever was used in marriage ceremonies,” Phil said. “You call your minister and tell him to cross it out.” “He knows better, but I'll warn him,” She agreed. “Some women— the kind who want to put up a good front before agreeing to, share a man’s home and doorkey—think it makes a man happy to have his pet poodle run whenever he throws a stick. If a woman doesn’t serve tapioca pudding because she likes to please her husband, what's the sense in coercing her into it? He'd get better meals at his club.” . Their conversation was gay and happy as they rode to the station. They had. the taxicab driver roll his cab onto the ferry which would carry them to the Erie station. Once on board, they left the cab and stood at the boat’s stern, watching the high lights of Manhattan- walk the sky in cyclorama. The harbor was strewn with little boats and far out some warships rode the waves. 2 2 2 JUDY LOOKED at the high lighted canyon whose walls were lower New York, listened to the

three musicians, who had come on board to play old songs and collect pennies and nickels. Because she knew She could never return this way with -the freedom and gaiety which she was taking with her, she felt lonely and clung more tightly to Philip's arm. Obey was a word one neither put in a marriage ceremony nor omitted. Obey was a code which 8 heart held or discarded. Maybe in time she would think of Sandy as a little .too rough-hewn, remember that his eyes never quite lost their laughter as surely all men’s eyes must do sometimes, not recall that there was special music in the low timber of his voice. Maybe . . . : She said goodby sweetly, told Philip she would meet his train the ~ next Tuesday.~ Then she found her compartment on the train and sat staring into the sky. Four more days of being Judy Allen and no-

body else, +The stars looked brighter as the frain rushed west from New York City. She had read somewhere that people had to travel 50 miles or more away from the artificial glow to see the stars in their

clarity. “Maybe Sandy had been remembering the wide and dark blue, where there were

his flights to freedom. ' She-recalled that, in a: recent newsreel, she had seen him alight- _ ing from his plane wi

Whereupon a dozen things that he had done, half a dozer attempts to see her, scrambled over the other reasons. “Maybe he wanted both Peg and me,” she murmured, half asleep. “And I do—like—Phil—a lot. I'd trust Phil!”

2 8 8 THERE WAS excitement at the low, widespread white house with its ngany wings when she reached it. Spring, soft and sweet and hyacinth-drenched, blew gently through the trees that were coming to flower. Cousins and aunts, already notified, had arrived. Mrs. Irvington Allen, having been deprived of a scalloped awning and red-carpéted steps at her wedding 25 years before, was determined that her only child should c have every thrill that accompanies romantic marriage. Pa True, Judy had sprung her forthcoming nuptials on the family rather suddenly, but Mrs. Allen was cerfain that she would manage the wedding easily. The old stone church where the family worshiped was two blocks away. .An open church wedding would be just the thing, since her husband would be for his fifth re-election as comsoon. : supporters would enjoy the lilles, the slim white candles, the smilax and the.pageant of the wedding party.
