CHAPTER Ill

Gary waited interminable minu- tes. it seemed, to: Ivy to come out of Lucretiirs room. A magazine lay on her lap. its pages unturned. She couldnotmadendsheoouldnot keep her mind from marching in e procession o! distributing thought;

Already she owed Jim Otliltimoe more-than $1,000 and bills wen coming in each day almost tutu- than she had time to write check-l to cover them. She was drawing on her own slender allowance t0 pity many oi them. Yet Jim ini- eisied that everything was coming along‘ as it should.

"It's alivays to h in the bitin- ning." he assured er. “but as 10118 as you've got me back of YOU. Y0"- lldVE nothing at all to worry about. I'll see you through."

Strangely that was no assurance whatever.

when Ivy came out she was not looking particularly happy. "Sit doim here," she motioned to C81‘! indicuting a place beside her on the davenport, Cary obeyed silent-

“Now what's all this I hear about Anthony Garth? Whatever it 15. Lou's taking it oreltv hard but it's not going to be fatal. It almost never is, especially when a wiimiin like her is still beautiful and there are plenty of men adrift — rich men, I mean."

“I met him at the track today," Cary said urihappily, almost wish- ing she hadivt seen Anthony at all- "I was reeling pretty low at the time. One or my horses was claimed ior a song."

"I don't know what that means." Ivy said, "but g0 on."

"He must have seen how I felt. for he aug sted that we get out of there w ere we could talk. We not in his car and landed on hi h stools with our elbows on e counter and some perfectly swell food in front oi us. Yon know ivhiit that. does to a. D6501! Some- times,"

“Yeah. I know." Ivy said. "Mixi- that what hanllcned?"

“Nothing really. We drovl home. We ivcre standing on the steps \\‘ll(‘i'i Lon came up with some friends. I guess it was quite a

“Better than I expected, but rot- ten encugh. She left no doubt in his mind how she felt toward him."

“I imagine!" Ivy chuckled. “But the nueszimi is. Cary. how much do u": liki! him? I mean is he likely in be coniiui: around again soon." Curr (‘iilorcd slightly, but she 'l!.‘~ ‘I'll’. “ 'e like him l lot, though it's

' Y serious. I may nee him . but not here." grinned. "I'd say from the ion on your face that you 1 . hiin more than a lot and that ' i very definitely will be seeing

Otherwise, why i: continue sending her fat checks each month after her mar- riage to Gcoree Tyle automatically stopped all alimony? But she look €\_'€‘l'_\'illlll§ he gave her and gave him only bitter hate iii iflllm."

Ivy lIZIIIGd a cigarett before she spoke. she looked at Cary through a. thin haze of smoke and said, "You're a smart girl, Cary You shculd have been a detective in- stead of so pond-looking."

She drew deeply on the ciiznretic and her eyes narrowed, “Tell me this. though. How are you going to keel) Anthony Garth from feeling something more than more sisterly affection for you? It’s sometimes difficult to keen a. man like him from falling in love and when tho!’ do-well, I'm warning you, they work fast. You're married to them and settled down in a vine-covered cottage before you can bat an eye. And how do you think Lucretia. is going to take that?"

“You've forgotten about Paul," Cary said. “I'm going to give him the right of way the next time we meet and that should make every- one extremely happy."

Ivy stood up and bent to cnush

the fire from her cigarette. she did not look at. Cary when she said.’ "Everyone but Anthony and you. Then she let the weight of her unhurriecl glance fa ullv upon Carl’. risshe went on. "I! I were you, darling. I wouldn't marry any man _1' didn't love. Your own moth- er did that three times and it brought her nothing but head- aches and UllllHDDlIIGSS."

"But I love Paul," Cary said, iueetiuz Ivyls eyes levelly. believing hm" own words.

“I'm clad to hear that, my giivect." Ivv said drily. “I‘m glad to near that someone loves someone rise. Where‘ do I sleep? I'm gm to bod nt eight so I'll be beau tomorroiv."

“There are twin beds in my room." Cary said, “I'd love to have you use the other one. Minefiq the one next to the double windows."

“Sn thoughtful o! you to grab all the frcshriirflvv said. but her mire was steeped with izood humor.

‘The ‘olenhone rang sharply, "I'll take it." Cary said.

Ivy yavmed. "It it's for me. I'm not in. ‘If We for Lou. she's all in. But if it's for you and it's a. date. take it. You need something Twelve you a boost. You lool: ter- l' P"

MANY TIMES in the "any diys of this? war,‘ battles were lost and _lives were sacrificed because there was "Too Little Too Late”. No words could be more tragic. They must not be heard now; “

A lot of money to raisegéksure it is. But iii can be done. It must be done. Have you gone the limit? "Cr, could you stretch the budget by a! greater effort; by real self denial, by postpone, ing the purchase of something you would like noW but could wait until the time when you can buy with a clear conscience?

Canada’s armed forces are fighting our battles. Shall we at home fail to give them every pos- sible support? They left their jobs, their homes, their friends for the discomforts and dangers which are ever present, prepared if need be to make the supreme sacrifice. Are lwe going to let them down? Are we going to increase the dangers . . . multiply the hazards . . . prolong‘ the struggle because of “Too Little Too Late”?
