everything would come right for
both of them.
"I'm going to live in the country

"Any pians, Cherry? Aunt Alice has

"That's sweet of her, Valerie.

"Good for you. I hope you enjoy

Cherry grinned. "I'm going to.
I've made up my mind to it."
She went to London early in the
day with Lane. Each had an ap-
pointment to have her hair washed.
Cherry tried a new hair style. Lane
came into the cubicle to have a
look at her. "Cherry, it's ravish-
ing."
With Lane's help she bought a
new hat to suit the hairdo. It was
fun to be out of uniform and dress-
