“Ducky, do you think it would be

dance with Bobby Foster?”
“Of course.” Helen’s quick beam
of approval betrayed her relief. “My
dear, remember that apple-green
upstairs? It could be made into a
lovely dress for you to wear. We’ll
fix ii tomorrow.”
But long after they had gone to
bed, Merry was awake tossing about,
worrying. Over and over she forced
recollections. Happy thought ot
Worth. She recalled the breathless
way he had kissed her, the gentle
ness in his good-by. She dwelt on
the little things he had said; the
he had spoken. She pictured
in the moonlight, handsome
romantic. But through it all,
rhythmic reverberation, a part
her mind kept repeating, “John
Viola Weiss! John and Viola Weiss!’
No wonder John hadn’t approved
of Basil Norton! If he went with Vi
ola’s crowd, he must have known
Basil for what he was. What could
John be doing tonight? How did she
know she could trust him?
She sat up abruptly, wide-eyed,

And again the little far away fear
came closer—>a fear horn of happi

so thrilling that Merry had been

what was this wonderful
they had found together,
so beautiful that it had brought
tears of reverence and wonder to
her eyes, so deep and strong that
the broad shoulders of Worth had
trembled beneath it, his clear gray
eyes flamed with it and his breatn
caught fiercely in his throat because
of it?
Oh, surely it had been love that
had stopped them so many times on
the way home that night to find
each other’s arms, that had held
them clinging to each other those
last moments before Worth had left?
It had been love glorified, intensified
—as beautiful and as fragile and
mysterious as the night that had sur
rounded them, She could not have
felt it so, if Worth, too, had not.
And yet, tiny icicles froze slowly
about her heart;—.why had Worth

As if

known no other refuge, she found
herself in them, his lips burning
with exquisite pain into her own.
And the little house was quiet ex
cept for a low hum of Mother’s radio
far back in the hall.
“Worth!” she whispered, her eyes
starlit pools, the symphony of young
love in her voice.
And Worth drew her closer, kiss
ing her tensely on her mouth, on
her cheeks, on her soft young throat.
“Darling*” his voice was a breath

Merry restrained it.
At last they sat down
each other and Worth bent

For a long time they were silent,

|Tjhe opening of the hall door broke
the spell. With’ whimsical under
standing their hands dropped. Each
straightened. They ■ smiled up
brightly and very properly at Helen
Millington, Who stood in the door a
moment later, who greeted Worth
cordially, retrieved a forgotten pat
tern and went back to her room.
Again Worth bent toward Merry.
“It seems to me I came here to tell
you something,” he laugher, his eyes
caressing her soft, bright hair, her
flushed cheeks!—even her small rid

“But since I have been here, i

“I don’t know why. Do you?”
And Merry laughted softly, sheer
joy bubbling over itself in her tones.
“I guess it’s a sort of paralysisi—•
of the mind,” she said.
■Don’t tell me it’s infantile,” he
warned with an effort at frown
ing. And their laughs mingled 'to

Worth flushed. “Well, j— No. I-—

And while She looked up at him,
wondering what he meant, he laugh-
