“Oh, Bill’s talked about
you, too,” confided Elaine. “Bill
thinks you’re the gal that hung
the stars and polished the moon
and sees to it that the sun comes
up on schedule every morning.”
Color flowed into Cathy’s face
anci her eyes were starry.
“Too bad,” Elaine went on
coolly, bef.ore Cathy could man
age her voice for an answer,
“that Aunt Edith holds the purse
strings so tight and that she’s
so hell-bent on choosing Bill’s
wife for him. Of course. I sup
pose you think Bill’s a bit of a
wart because he doesn’t tell her
to take her money and go to
blazes with it. But Bill feels—
and I think he’s quite right—
that he is entitled to at least
a generous share.”
“Why are you telling me all
this?”
Elaine seemed tardily to real
ize the extent of her frankness
and for a moment her lovely
face closed up as though a cur
tain had been drawn, leaving
her expressionless
“Oh I dunno,” she said care-!
lessly.” Everybordy says I talkj
too much anyway. Could be j

The waitress came with their
order. Elaine fussed over hers I

and changed it. But eventually j

it was satisfactory, and the
waitress departed.
Elaine spoke after a moment.
“Your Major’s quite swell,
Cathy. I like him.”
I’m glad—only he’s not my
Major,” answer Cathy, striv
ing for a light tone.
Elaine looked up at her
sharply, her blue. eyes specula
tive.
“Is that on the level? You’re
not—overboard about him’ You
aren’t going to marry him?” she
demanded.
“Certainly not! He’s merely
a very good friend; we went
through a lot together in the
Pacific. I was a flight nurse
and we flew together a lot,”
answered Cathy almost breath
lessly.
Elaine studied her shrewdly.
“Is it true he’s disgustingly
ri'-u” she demanded.
“I’m afraid I wouldn’t knew,”
answered Cathy curtly.
“He’s a pal of yours and you
don’t know whether he’s a mil
lionaire or a pauper?” ex
claimed Elaine unbelievingly.
“All I knew about him was
that he was a darned good pilot,
and that, we were all working
for the same boss!” said Cathy,
and there was color in her
cheeks. “We all shared a com
mon lot whether we had millions
in the bank back home, or de
pendents who existed merely by
reason of the allotment checks
we were able to send home. Be
lieve it or not, there was very lit
tle time—and very little incli
nation—to sit down and talk
about what we had back home.
We were too darned ousy trying
to keep it—home and safe—to
worry about who was rich and
who was poor—” She broke
off, realizing that her voice was
shaking, and steadied herself.
Elaine had been looking at
her curiously, her head ever so
little on one side.
“Funny,” she commented at
last. “I swear I believe you
meant that!”
Thanks! said Lathy grimly.
“I didn’t mean to—to sound off.
But I get tired of people here
at home thinking we had
nothing to do out there but sit
around and make love and talk
about our social positions”
Elaine nodded thoughtfully.
! “I see what you mean,” she
said almost carelessly, her
thoughts busy elsewhere, as
was evidenced by her next
words. “Look here, if you’re not
in love with the Major, and
have no matrimonial aspira
S tions in his direction, dc
you mind if I make a few passes
at him? I believe I could dc
myself some good with him! 1
think he liked me at the dance.’
Cathy blinked, so astounded
that for a moment she could nol
catch her breath or manav
speech.
Elaine grinned impishiy
“You see, I can always tell
when a man could be persuaded
to like me quite a lot. I think
the Major could, and—well, it
I would be fun to see what might
happen,” she drawled.
Suddenly Cathy was swept
with a quite illogical anger.
“Mark is a very fine man,
with a wonderful future, and a
lot of ambition,’’ she said slow
ly and distinctly “I won’t have
you trying to make a fool of
him.”
Elane’s eyebrows went up deli
cately.
“Then you do think I could,”
she suggested gently.
Cathy’s regard took her in:
the shoulder-length hair that
was silken pale gold, curling
away from her vivid, oval face;
her great darkly blue eyes with
their long, gold-tipped lashes;
the exquisitely curved body in
its powder blue sharkskin frock
that set off a pale, honey-gold
tan so deft and so exquisitely
balanced one knew instantly it
came from a sun lamp.
“I think you could.” said
Cathy briefly, and added with
a little flash of her eyes.
“Only I intend to stop you. if
I possibly can.’’
Elaine pushed her- tea cup
away from her and folded her
arms on the edge of the
table and studied Cathy indo
lently, like a sleek, well-feed cat
with an eye on the family
canary.
“You don’t look the dog-in-the
manger type, Cathy,’’ she
drawled. “I would have thought
that one man would be
quite enough for you—espe
cially if the man was Bill.”
“I’m not in love with Mark.”
Cathy stated her position flat
ly. “But I admire and respect
and like him enormously. And
I don’t propose to sit idly by
and watch you sniping for him
unless you’re in love with him,
of course.”
Elaine pursed her lovely
mouth and then smiled.
“Oh—love,” she scoffed. “I’m
afraid I don’t believe in
love. Oh, being fond of people
and liking being with them and
stuff like that — but all this ag
onizing because the boy or forgot
smiled at another girl o rforgot
to telephone or seems to be
cooling off in his ardor that’s
Isomething to write gooey songs
about, or stick in the movies for
middle-age matrons to sigh
over. But not little Elane. I
know where I want to go, and
I intend to get there, and noth
ing’s going to stop me —Noth
ing as silly and mushy as what
you call love, anyway1.
She looked up at!” Cathy, and
before Cathy could speak.
Elaine gave her an impish grin.
“And to tell the truth, I be
lieve your Major is a realist,
too,” she said.
“I keep telling you he isn’t
my Major—”
“But you keep behaving as if
he were”
“And I don’t know what you
mean by calling him a
realist,” Cathy finished.
Elaine shrugged.
“Oh, I don’t think he goes in
for the lovey-dovey stuff, any
more than I do,” she explained.
“I believe that he would look
on marriage as something that
might be fun, and all that, but
not necessarily a life and-death
matter. I think he’s the sort of
man whf would say across the
breakfast table some bright
morning. ‘See here, my pet, you
bore the living daylights out of
me and I know you’re fed up
| to the teeth with me, so how’s
about calling it a day. while
you hop out to Reno or Mexico
jCity and buy yourself a nice lit
tle gilt-edged divorce?’ And I’m
the sort of girl who would say
'promptly, ‘‘Thanks a lot for the
idea. I’d love it.’ And nobody’s
feelings would be hurt in the
least that’s what I mean by
saying I think the Major is a
realist.”
I Cathy was staring at her,
shocked.
“Oh, but—why, Elaine, that’s
not true! Mark’s not like that
at all,” she protested.
Elaine looked a her coolly
for a moment.
“Want to bet on it?” she
offered.
Anger boiled over in Cathy.
“I do not! And if that's the at
titude you nave toward Mark,
then I’d appreciate it a lot if
you'd leave him alone.”
Elaine continued looking at
her, her lovely eyes cool, nar
rowed a little; and then she
nodded and scrubbed out the
tip of her cigaret and said cool
ly, ‘So you are in love
with him!”
“I’m not. Don't be silly ”
“Of course you are,” said
Elaine. “And I wmnder where
that leaves Bill! He’s pretty
crazy about you, believe it or
not.”
Cathy drew a long hard
breath and clenched her hands
tightly in her lap, fighting to
steady her voice, before she
risked speech.
