THE GETTYSBURG TIMES, TUESDAY, MAY 24, 1932. FACE THKEB II i You Can't Marry by Julia Cleft-Addams SYNOPSIS: "You can't take my pob away from me, it's kept you from iitarv- injr." Georgit Townsend to her ooiuin. Jenny. She ban persuaded Jenny to say she--and not Georgie--is married to Eddie Townsend. ao Gcorgie san bold her job.

But this causes misunderstanding between Jenny and Garth Aveney. Chapter 33 BLAZING LUNACY Jenny tried to explain Gratton Patching's friendltoess to- Georgie when she had carried to the chocolate and was perched on Georgie's bed. drinking it. "So I ttiink I had better go and sea him every day until he says he is tired of me, don't you?" she concluded. Georgie had collapsed into her pillows to amazed merriment.

"I suppose so, but really, it's not much good asking me--you seem to know exactly how to manage him! I can't hope to improve your technique!" Jenny stirred her chocolate, stifling a sigh. Georgie was not being catty, she was genuinely of the opinion that Jenny was maneuver- 'ing herself into the millionaire's favor so that she might get some benefit or other, "He may leave you every last cent he -owns, Jenny-wren," Georgie was babbling. "When he does, don't forget old friends, will you?" "It's not remotely likely that he will leave me anything." Jenny masked her distaste. "He has his nephew. You say yourselt Mr.

Aveney is taking over the high command." Georgie's eyes were full of amber gleams under the soft lights. While her cousin had been in the kitchen, she had undressed and put on pajamas of coral satin. She sat hugging her knees, her bare feet pushed under the eiderdown, her silken pillows heaped up behind her. All around her room spilled its luxuries. Jenny's gaze travelled from one colorful heap of clothes to another, from dressing table -to wardrobe.

wouldn't be room for my little camp-bed here now," she said "You're more comfortable to--to the other room, the new room, surely?" defended Georgie. very comfortable. It has turned into a pretty room, hasn't made the curtains and put them up; I suppose you saw. At least, I cut them into the proper lengths and Eddie sewed them on the machine, it amused him a lot. He's very domestic, isnt he?" -Gcorgle tossed her head back, and the bright, short, locks that had screened her eyes, fell away.

It was as though she let's get it into words, all this that hasn't yet been She stared straight to front of her. "Eddie and I have separated for a year, Jen. We're pretending that everything went according to our original plan and that he is off to Mexico for a year leaving our mar" riage secret and me at Matchtog's. The only difference is that--that Instead of our week's honeymoon here, we are to have none at all." "Oh, Georgie! But--" "He doesn't want one." Jenny was silent. "No.

Ill be honest." Georgie frowned, still staring ahead. "I'll doesn't want our honeymoon to be furtive and short. A part of me agrees with him, the part that's proud to be his wife, the part that puts him before my job." "The best part of you." coral satin shoulders shrugged. "Best or worst--I don't know! Anyway, another part of me, which may equally be best or worst, says that it would be sheer blazing lunacy to throw up five thousand a year and go traipsing off to the outermost suburban darkness and live on bread and--" "And kisses." "You're sentimental, honey. You always were.

So is Eddie. It's you he ought to have fallen to love with, not me." She leaned a little towards Jenny. "I swear I won't let mystelf be jealous of you, lambie but you must see that it will be a heroic feat. You're so absolutely his type. His last words were that he would keep in touch with you let you know where he is to be found throughout the year.

In case, I suppose, I change my Her laughter was very near tears, "I rather hope that he will stay with Mrs. Bigger," said Jenny quietly. "She's definitely good for him; doesnt get on his nerves. As for me, I don't fancy he wants to see me again. He only likes me because I believed I could cure him and make him the Eddie you knew and loved.

If you don't need that Eddie back again, he won't hurry about getting well." Georgie pulled aimlessly at her eiderdown. There was nervousness to the movement. "If Td had the nest-egg in the bank that most people think I have --instead of an overdraft and a old Whitcomb, six-year-old son of Mrs. Gordon Whitcomb, of Boiling Springs, drowned "about 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon when he slipped and fell Into the lake in Boiling Springs park, where he was fish- tog with several other small boys. FRANKLIN COUNTY TAKES SCHOOLBOOKS TO STUDIO been such a fool with my money I would have thrown up the job and gone with Ed?" "No," said Jenny gently.

"I think that there would still have been something to you that would have tried to get both independence and marriage as well. You're generous, dearest, but you're greedy, too." "You wait--" cried Georgie, clutching her as she slipped off the bed. You wait until you are to love yourself and find that your man only wanu you on ius terms--" There was no sound from Jenny, she stood quite still, smiled even; but Georgie was suddenly con- "Jenny?" "Well?" "Are you--to love With--with anybody?" "No." Jenny, still standing, indifferent- by the gleaming bed, still smil- ng, said-it again. "No." "You're very vehement about it." "There's no other way of con- you, Georgie." "How do you mean--oh, I see! But I wasn't getting at you and Sddie," explained Georgie, with the arge simplicity that Is sometimes better than oceans of tact. "I got the one wild moment.that were interested to Garth Aveney." "I think we had better both turn to.

You're getting imaginative." Jenny's smile felt nailed to her face. Oh, to be alone! "Yes, I must sleep. I a heavy date tomorrow. Sorry I was such a fool about Aveney. Only--" She stopped pummelling her pillows and turned inquisitive, amber eyes upon Jenny and her smile.

"Why did you ask me is you could give me and Eddie away FINED $4 FOR CONVERSATION Chambersburg Discovered conversing from a fire escape of the Kink street school building to her daughter in the county jail. Mrs. Olia Sagle, of Washington, D. was taken into custody Friday evening, and prosecuted by Sheriff L. H.

FIFTEEN CALLS Waynesboro Waynesboro firemen answered 15 alarms during the month of April, according to the report submitted to council Friday night by Fire Chief Howard E. Poper. Three of the alarms were out of town.

The fire loss in Waynesboro amounted to $70. him? It Tas such a amazing suggestion, especially now he's boss, that I naturally wondered--" Jenny smiled steadily down at tray she carried. "I didn't realize this evening that he-had-been'told I was 'Mrs. -And I forgot I was supposed to be, and I had myself announced as 'Miss And--" "Oh, that's all?" Georgie slumped cosily back and yawned. "Oh, well, that's nothing to worry about --heaps of married women use their maiden names.

And Aveney would probably only think that you were so newly-married that you were shy." "Also I was under the impression," Jenny ploughed on, "that you had told him about yourself and Eddie. I thought you told him that first night when we met him, with Ryder Vale." "My dear kid, I don't confide my love-affairs to perfect strangers!" Georgie's yawns were getting franker and franker. "It's unwise --and in this case, it would have been suicidal. Imagine the situation when I discovered, as I should have by the end of the "evening, that this perfect stranger was the Old Man's I knew was to take over from the Old Man to the near future! No, no, little Georgie may be all kinds of a fool, but she isnt that kind yet!" She snuggled down under the covers, stretching her- long limbs, one hand under her cheek. Jenny rubbed her smile away--no need to keep it there, achingly, now that Georgie was so nearly asleep.

The big question could be asked with a pretense of indifference in one's voice only. She turned the words over in her mind. Supposing she said quite simply "Garth Aveney wanted you to marry him, didn't he?" Or would that appear pry- tog--? She had opened her mouth to ask it when Georgie's drowsy murmur took shape. "Good thing you haven't fallen for Aveney--he's marrying Brigit- the actress, as soon as she's free. I forget who her last husband was, but she has just divorced him.

Turn the light out at the door, honey, as you go." (Copyright, Julia Cleft-Addams) Jenny learns the secret of Aveney's testing Georgie's loyalty to her employer, tomorrow, and realizes she may have misunderstood his attitude.
