Molly tiptoed to her daughter's bed, tucked in the covers and smoothed Ellen's fair hair away from her forehead. "It's fining to be a lovely day," Molly whispered. She was trying hard to be casual cas-ual but Ellen saw that Molly was frightened. Seeing that, Ellen became be-came determined not to share her own fear. Myra's asleep," the mothe .whispered -again.

Molly went on wistfully as if she were sorry for something. "Io you reallywant to marry Steven? Do you understand under-stand " She had never seemed more helpless. "Yes, I want to," Ellen Insisted. The girl's voice had risen slightly so that Myra stirred and woke. Bright sunshine came pouring through the window. "Happy the bride the sun shines on," Myra cried out and sprang from bed. The day was bright blue and perfect, a day cut from a picture postcard. Once Ellen was out ot bed and had breakfasted the terrors ter-rors of the night and those strange fears of the dawn were gone. She was not afraid now. She seemed to feel nothing but the strangeness strange-ness of the fact that this was her BOOTS AND HER OKve. RGMT . Mil tevx. vw&s coerce vo v hea WASHINGTON TUBBS fSf WF VA.

She and Myra dressed white Molly, happy and reassured, flew shout getting In their way and in htr own. loo.. Mrs. Clancy came flying up from downstairs with telephone message for Myra. who grabbed a negligee and streaked down after her. When Myra bad returned and had begun to do her hair all over again Mrs. Clancy was back with a message from Stetft. . He would be there at 10 o'clock. rpHROTJGH it all Ellen dressed ' calmly. A wispy chemise, a brassiere sewn with rosebuds, tiny white slippers. She bad never noticed before how small her feet were. She eyed her legs critically, standing on tiptoe away from the mirror which tilted at the wrong angle. They were nice legs, a little too long perhaps but then . She sprayed verbena on her shoulders and sniffed the spicy smell. Her slip next, airy as a shadow. Long chiffon stockings stock-ings and her garters blue because be-cause Molly had insisted all brides wore "something blue." The "something borrowed" was a fine, lacy handkerchief which Molly had carried when she was a bride. In Myra's case it was a string of pearls that were Molly's, also. For the "something old" both girls wore little Jewelled pins made from cuff links which had once adorned a bine-eyed, tawny-haired Charles Rosslter. page at the court of Queen Elizabeth. Eliza-beth. The "something new" was fthe dress, shimmering with opaque lights and recalling in its demure fullness and length a debutante de-butante of the 50's. "Something old something new Something borrowed something blueJ Ellen stood away from the mirror mir-ror and looked at the shining-eyed shining-eyed girl in the lovely dress. That beautiful, tawny-haired girl was Ellen Rossiter. This was her wedding day. Ellen wondered uncertainly If she should cry or laugh and knew that she did not want to do either. She thought she was composed and steady. She thought that now she was ready to meet anything any-thing but she did not seem to be herself. Nothing seemed real to her. Deliberately she made a test BUDDIES r it AMU. HIS FRIENDS - that, in this strange mood, she did not fear. Deliberately she thought of Larry. But Larry was. in- (bis disordered bedroom .with Myra and Molly running back and forth and chattering endlessly, only a half remembered pain. He seemed to be a bright and shining shin-ing creation of her Imagination. She had dreamed him. Larry was not real. JIrOLLY and Myra, wondering as they had wondered so often if it would not be better after all to wear street clothes in the car and chance finding a place to change in the small Connecticut town where the double wedding was to take place, did not seem real either. "It's nearly 10 now," Ellen said. "There's no time to change our minds or clothes either." "We-11. I guess" hesitated Myra. "Ellen, aren't you so excited ex-cited you could scream? So excited ex-cited you can't sit down and you can't stand up and you can't keep still either?" "No," Ellen said. After thought she added. "No." "Liar," Myra commented affectionately. affec-tionately. ''You can't fool me. Your, cheeks are simply blazing!" "There's the bell now," Molly cried. Ellen picked up her skirts and ran to the door. It was Steven. "Oh, my dear," he said, regarding regard-ing her. "You're too lovely to believe! I've never seen you look so lovely. No one has ever been so beautiful before." Ellen had never seen Steven look so well, either. He was handsome hand-some and distinguished, agreeable and charming. But he was.a stranger to her. She did not know him. She sat down beside him and began to talk, clinging to any commonplace trifle that came to mind. All the time she was thinking how odd It was that she did not know the man she was to marry. Bert came In after a while. Myra danced in from the bedroom. and then Molly. The chauffeur came for Ellen's bags and carried them away. Someone told her she must put on her bat. It was time to leave. Ellen walked slowly into the bedroom. She put on her hat and turned to go. All at once she knew that she would never see this bedroom again. She and Steven were not returning to the apartment. It would be dismantled before she returned from Europe. This part of her life was oyer, ended. Sho began to cry, slow tears at first that coursed her cheeks and dropped to her hands. Then the tears came faster and faster. She could not endure it. Honor and loyally, decency and pride. What were they? Steven had not the right to take her dreams from her. She flung herself across the bed In a very passion ot tears. She remembered only that' they must not hear her In the living room and forced her shaking; body deeper and deeper.. Into, the pillows. pil-lows. Her heels ripped the sheets but she did not know that. She wanted to beat her bead against the floor, to scream until, she could not think, to do anything that would obliterate the desperation despera-tion of her spirit. YY7HEN the first outbreak ot vio-" vio-" lence had worn out she still lay sobbing quietly, conscious that she must rally the strength to go on.. She beard the bedroom door open. "Ellen " It was Myra's shocked voice " what have you been doing? We've waited and, waited." And then, "Oh my darling!" Ellen's tears were spent. She sat up. "I can't go on with this. 1 can't be married," she said in a trembling voice. Myra felt that she must be wise for both of them. "Are you frightened, too?" she asked. "I'm shaking all over. I was so terrified terri-fied last night I couldn't sleep. I didn't want to be married. 1 almost al-most Jumped out the window." "Myra! Did you? I thought " "All brides feel this way. foolish. fool-ish. Nervous and upset and frightened. You do like Steven, don't you? Like Blm a lot?" "Why yes." Ellen answered slowly, beginning to feel the vise that held her, .heart loosen ever so slightly. "Then do something to your eyes. They look-terrible! I'll wait for you." Ellen did her best to repair the ravages of her grief and terror while her sister watched. They were In the living room again and then on their way down the stairs. -They stepped out into the glorious day. The limousine swept them out of the shabby neighborhood, out ot New York and on to the smooth road that led to Haley. Connecticut. They had chosen this small town in the hills because Steven khew a clerk who would withhold reporting the ceremony until he and his bride were far away ons the ocean. No one spoke of Ellen's long absence in the bedroom. There had been no time. But as they swept down the tree-lined, shady streets of the little village Ellen sensed that Steven meant to mention men-tion it. When they alighted from the car lie drew her away from the others. "I believe you were crying before be-fore we started," he skid gently. "If you want to stop right here there's no reason for going on. Perhaps you would father have more time to decide. Shall we wait until I return from Europe?" (To Be Continued) 1 JXte VMO A OM VitV-V .OOTj W rNOW0. WOT I WANTS TO KNOJ, 5P0T,Y BUT t S JtS UOVil SETUOUS A Ctt.N n J commit anv WAS That VOO r I -"Jf"!
