when she and May have a- tiff
over the hemisomest movie
actor on the screen. GABRIEL
GL‘GLIEMO. And at midnight
.‘ilay packs up and leaves for the
hotel down near the railroad
station. "Footloose again!" she
thinks. not with triumph but
with despair.
(NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY)
64 ELL. where do we go from
here?"
May asked the question of
her own reflection in the mirror the
next morning, standing before the
oak dresser in her shabby little hotel
bedroom.
it was a dim old mirror. But it
was not too dim to show May the
two lines that. were beginning to
mar the smooth, white beauty of her
forehead and the shadows at the
drooping corners of her mouth.
Good heavens. was she getting
old? She leaned over and studied
her face with that cold and panicky
terror tint comes to the heart of
every woman when she sees her
first wrinkle.
Then suddenly she remembered.
November. her blrthdsy! She was
twenty-eight years old!
"And you can‘t expect a woman
of twenty-eight to look like a. flop
pert" May told herself. trying to be
cheerful and philosophical about it.
At her age most women were com-
fortably married and had homes of
their own—a. husband to wait for
at nightfall. a child or two to cuddle.
"But I have nothing . . . nothing
at all!" May thought bitterly.
The ringing of the telephone on
the wall startled her . . . brought
her back to the hopeless present.
Csrlotts‘s voice, still thick and
:‘.o.ky, greeted her when she an-
swered it.
"May darling.” it said so rapidly
that all the words seemed to run
together like one long word. "I'm so
sorry about last night. I must have

Won't you forgive me and come
back?"
All the time she was listening, May
was shaking her bond as if she
thought. Carlotta could see her.
"No." she answered with cold dv~
cislon, when L‘nl'luuu had finished.
“No. I can't come buck and out

Without waiting for Curiotln to
answer her, she hung up the re»
cclver.
As if the telephone cull had tilled
her with sudden his and mumgu.
she dressed quickly and urnt down
stairs.
“I'm checking out," she told the
clerk in the lobby. “ ‘11“ you please E

sat down to think. . . .
"I've got to get enough mOMY '0

"And enough money to DIY "1'

Then a. chllling thought struck
her. In the bottom of thst trunk
was Ulysses Forgan's letter to her!

May that she might hove asked the
