Gregory of Cairo and Nance of Carbondale visited Sunday with the, former's daughter, Rev and Mrs. Austin Rednour and children. M.r. and Sim Griffith are at a candle-lighted table for two in the egg-shaped dining room of a hotel across from Central Park. The dining room was on the highest floor.

The table to which the head waiter directed them was near the glassed enclosure at the front of the room. Outside the rain still flung silver magic and the lights of the park swung in the mist like distant yellow balloons. Judy looked steadily' at' 'Philip as -he said: "Darling, I've 'Been 'trying to explain 'for five' minutes 'that -I want td marry you. I'love you, if that -helps -any." 'If that helps any. Of course it 'did.

-Especially wh'en sbmebhe -whose'''tail, -lean strength was- a Gibraltar in- the midst of 'storm said the which every girl wanted hear. But how could -she forget -'eyes that a mountains and 'hair that defied hats-'and. "-How could she slide'-one man's picture-out of the frame in her heart to let another's in? 'She liked'Philip and had kh'owri him for so long. She 'had- been expecting this 'question arid knew that life -would be safer, -more serene, and happier landings in' the 'end. Judy knew her answer.

'But first she had. a' to ask. "Sara?" ''is 1 of no importance to 'us, Judy," -he. answered. ''My plans her di'dn't- amount to row of beans.

'It 'was. you I warited to -see wh'en--! eaine up town at noon." "About what?" She sipped some cold tomato juice, for the tea hour had slipped into the dinner hour while they lingered. "The book has gone to. press, carrying her by-line over your story. You can object or pass up the incident.

Your editor doesn't know about it. Your own corrected proof sheets came in too late for her reading. 'But that other question, Judy dear? The one about -marrying me?" A stream of old songs had been floating'softly from a string or- -chestra in 1 the corner. Just now someone was crooning unfamiliar words: "Breeze, that, blew my gal away, "I've 1 had the blues all day; ''Since early morn." The words-had been wistful and nostalgic when Judy was around 10 years old, wearing her curls tied up with a bright blue ribbon. Yet something in" the revival of the 1 'old song was perennially new and sad.

CHK looked into Philip's eyes, her own grave aiid a'little wet. Phil was splendid. Yes, Bark, fell, 'young, correctly handsome'in- a virile way, wealthy, 'popular, yet -not" quite as wide-shouldered, never as slouching, or-as another man who-so short a time ago had said, "I love you." Oh, you'could put all the-good adjectives in the world in a hat, shake them up, and anything you pulled out.would suit Philip. Furthermore, he' was dependable. He was reliable.

He. had a sense of humor and a fortune. He would always provide beefsteak for his table and leggings children. And Sandy was gone. Sandy who-used his-plane- as a jitney, first'for one heart, then another.

Sandy, who was bringing Peg "through. 'Her smooth cheeks deepened -th'eir color as she remem- 'bered she had proffered a love Sandy no longer needed. Philip's eyes had not strayed since he ''had- -asked- his Philip's voice was as gentle as he'repeated his'-question. With a -quick determination -Judy'-swung the'-door shut 1 on the compartment'in her heart marked 'Sandy. Silently she flung a'men- 'tal Key'out'of a great glass'-window, into the budding leaves of the park.

Sandy had been infatuation, youth -that never quite- left you. Philip was love. Security. Uh- 'failing devotion. 'Hoots.

In the fraction of a moment while she 1 made her decision. Her face was white now, but her eyes deepened their purple shadows as she smiled at Philip. "I'd 1 love marrying- you; 'Philip'," she answered quietly. She saw new radiancy in his eyes and felt a swifter beat in her' own'pulse. Oh, surely you couldn't be in love with two people at once.

You might love two men at once. But to be in love with both of that was different. Maybe a man 'could carry a double devotion. A woman couldn't. She laughed softly when Philip, who was asking the waiter to bring the check, looked at'her 1 inquiringly.

She gave him a foolish answer. She was-thinking th'at-sh'e should-have known long ago that Sandy was only Pierrot or Harlequin, adding moments' of-' gaiety as he flew-against the-wind. 'Philip was the husband eveiry- worrian wanted. Suddenly she wanted'his arms around her, his lips against hers. Somehow, words she must let him know she loved him, that the past and Sandy would not cross-the Rockies so far as she was concerned.

Philip matched her mood. He had-his long, swift roadster parked downtown. They took a taxicab to its address, climbed into the car and -followed the Hudson 'river along the Speedway to the Georjje Washington bridge that swung in silver mist against the rainy night. They crossed the bridge and rode far up the Palisades. TWHEN 'Philip swung the car around to start home, Judy sighed happily and sleepily.

The mood stayed with her until she had undressed, bathed, given her russet curls one hundred upward, outward strokes and flung her windows to the darkness and the rain. 'People forgot things, all things, she murmured, slipping between soft white sheets. In time, 'no. memory mattered. Sometimes you forgot where the hurt had been, why it had been.

Now she need not face the embarrassment that would come when people learned that she followed Sandy, only to discover he and another girl were winging their way to the western coast. She felt relaxed and protected when she fell asleep. It was around 3 o'clock that the low ringing of her telephone wakened her. She stirred, hearing it from a great' distance at first. As sleep left her the sound increased in volume.

Slipping into rose mules and flowing rose negli- gee, she started toward the telephone. With her hand on it, she paused. It would be Sandy and she had closed the gates of her heart to him; She must not answer, must not let him win her again. And yet The bell rang with a last desperate appeal. (To Be Continued).
