LOVE LIGHTLY
By MARGARET E. SANGSTER
SIXTH INSTALLMENT
Snopsis—Ellen Church, 17 years old, finds herself alone in the world with her artist mother's last warning ringing in her ears, to "love lightly." Of the world she knew little. All her life she had lived alone with her mother in an old brown house in a small rural community. All her life, first as a new baby, then a bubbling child, then a charming young girl...she had posed for her talented mother who sold her magazine cover painting through an art agent in the city...Mrs. Church's broken life...the unfaithful husband, his disappearance...and after seventeen years of silence announcement of his death was at last disclosed to Ellen. The news of the husband's death killed Mrs. Church...Ellen, alone, turned to the only contact she knew, the art agent in New York. Posing, years of posing, was her only talent so she was introduced to two leading artists, Dick Alven and Sandy Macintosh. Both used her as a model and both fell in love with her...but Ellen, trying to follow the warped philosophy of her mother to "love lightly," resists the thought of love. Her circle of friends is small, artists and two or three girl models. Ellen attends a ball with Sandy. While dancing a tall young man claimed her and romance is born. Now Go On With The Story.
The gray in the sky had lightened. The taxi driver, with a shrug, had started his fourth circuit of the park. But the boy in the taxi was staring into Ellen's eyes.
"Of course," he said, "if you'll marry me, I'll take a chance on that! On your not having anything to give, I mean. On your not falling in love. If you'll marry me!" There was assurance in his voice, as well as passion.
"You don't understand," she said atula. She shut her eyes and said over the words that she had said, not so very long ago, to Dick. "After all," she said, and she repeated the words, parrot-like, "after all, what's the advantage of marriage, as it concerns me?"
It was almost light enough now for Ellen to see the hurt look in the boy's eyes. Almost, but not quite. She said fiercely in her soul that he hadn't any right to look so hurt. This attitude that she was taking—surely she felt the pain of it as much as anyone! And then, too, she was saving him.
"After all," he said slowly, "married to me you wouldn't have to work, you know. Or to worry about financial things. Or—babies—not if you really didn't want 'em. And you could have all the privacy in the world, in the biggest apartment on Park Avenue—married to me, you could. How do you get that way?"
Ellen laughed, although there was no mirth in her.
"You sound," she said, "like a millionaire! How do you get that way?"
In his rumpled Pierrot suit, with his jaw squirer than ever above the dejected ruff, the boy made answer. His tone held a certain bewilderment, a certain difference.
"I forgot," he said, "that you didn't know my name. Odd, isn't it? To be arguing with a girl, trying to sell her your own especial brand of marriage, when she doesn't know your name. I'm—my name's Brander. Tony Brander, Anthony Brander, and you know what he stood for, was my father. I am a millionaire, you see...I got that way because my father cornered sugar, once!"
Ellen's eyes grew wide. Her mind was a confusion of words. At first the boy's halting speech didn't register. It was still just a slice of unisnt. It's only gold engraved paper. It's you use in shops. You buy love!" She wanted is the answer to all things I've been telling years." She wanted to "So that's the reason burned. Palm Beach, ing roads and digging wanted to say, "I love that—"I love you."
But she said instead,
"And so you want daddy? That's it!"
All at once the boy crescendo of feeling.

I'd be afraid t cause you'd slip out wouldn't dare take a why I want you to ma do it tomorrow. As so his voice—and much of had vanished from it!-Ellen, with something tion, fought for wordse even the boy, laboring t the spell of a vast em reach the depth that Ellen.
It was perhaps the agony of those depths t realize how necessary it talk. To say something brittle, if she must—that awful aching gap.
She made what was hardest effort of her calmly.
"Better take me home."
The gray in the sky had lightened. The taxi driver, with a shrug, had started his fourth circuit of the park. But the boy in the taxi was staring into Ellen's eyes.
"Of course," he said, "if you'll marry me, I'll take a chance on that! On your not having anything to give, I mean. On your not falling in love. If you'll marry me!" There was assurance in his voice, as well as passion.
"You don't understand," she said at last, in answer to that proposal—"You don't understand at all what I'm trying to say. Men? In my life men are just transients. They'll always be just passers-by!"
The boy's arm was around her, tight. "There's one man," he said "who won't be transient, or a passerby, in your life."
Ellen repeated again from the form-

isn't. It's only gold and silver and engraved paper. It's just something you use in shops. You can't use it to buy love!" She wanted to cry, "This is the answer to all the half-baked things I've been telling myself for three years." She wanted to say, foolishly, "So that's the reason you're so sunburned. Palm Beach, instead of building roads and digging ditches." She wanted to say, "I love you!" Just that—"I love you."
But she said instead, very flippantly, "And so you want to be my sugar daddy? That's it!"
All at once the boy's voice was a crescendo of feeling. Almost the taxi driver could have heard what he was saying, through the closed, shatterproof front window. But the taxi driver wasn't extraordinarily interested in this tall Pierrot, in this slim, small page. He was yawning, and wishing for coffee and wheat cakes and fried eggs.
The boy said—
"I want you to marry me tomorrow. I mean when it's actually morning. I'd be afraid to wait—to marry you in the ordinary way, after an engagement and showers and parties and a bachelor dinner! I'd be afraid to lay plans, because you'd slip out of them. I wouldn't dare take a chance. That's why I want you to marry me, and to do it tomorrow. As soon as possible," his voice—and much of the boyishness had vanished from it!—broke off. And Ellen, with something akin to desperation, fought for words to say. Not even the boy, laboring as he was under the spell of a vast emotion, would ever reach the depth that Ellen had reached!
It was perhaps the very breathless agony of those depths that made Ellen realize how necessary it was for her to talk. To say something—something brittle, if she must—that would fill this awful aching gap.
She made what was probably the hardest effort of her life to speak calmly.
"Better take me home, Tony," she long speech, Ellen wished that she might give up the effort, that she might just stop talking and let her head lie back on the broad shoulder beneath the Pierrot suit. "And, after you've had your coffee, sit back and go over the facts in the case. And if you still feel the same way about marrying me, by noon tomorrow, come around and we'll get down to cases. My name? It's Ellen Church. I've been forgetting that you didn't know who I was, either. You'll find that name below a bell at this—" she gave him a street number, "address. And if, after the sleep and the coffee and the thinking, you still want to go on . . . Well, a marriage license can be bad, they tell me, up to four! If we should happen to get together tomorrow, perhaps I'll let you买我 one. But if you," she was able, by gritting her teeth, to make her voice seem casual, "if you don't show up, I'll know you're completely normal again; I'll probably be that way, myself. No," all at once she was shivering violently, "don't kiss me—not now. Don't you dare to kiss me! If you come tomorrow, there may be years of kissing ahead of us . . . If you don't come, we'll have one less moment to forget."
Her heart said, "Oh God, don't let him stay away." It said, also, in swift panic, "Don't let him come. I can't pretend with him much longer. And if he comes, I'll never be able to do anything else but pretend!"
The taxi returned sharply through the dawn, and made for the nearest park exit.
Tony came the next day, slightly before noon, looking a trifle older than he had in his tousled Pirrot costume. Seeming less sun-hwoned, less sure of himself, but somehow more dear than ever—infinitely more dear! Ellen, starting forward to meet him, could hardly hold back her arms. They seemed to be on springs—on springs that dragged them forward, toward him.
Ellen—she wasn't looking quite so long speech, Ellen wished that she might give up the effort, that she might just stop talking and let her head lie back on the broad shoulder beneath the Pierrot suit.

even the boy, laboring as he was under the spell of a vast emotion, would ever reach the depth that Ellen had reached!
It was perhaps the very breathless agony of those depths that made Ellen realize how necessary it was for her to talk. To say something—something brittle, if she must—that would fill this awful aching gap.
She made what was probably the hardest effort of her life to speak calmly.
"Better take me home, Tony," she said. And, yes, her voice was completely steady. "And then go home, yourself. And think this thing out. You've got to think it out, you know. For if it all seems mad and impossible tonight, it will seem more mad, and more impossible tomorrow. I'm not denying the way you feel, or that it's real to you. But it may be just the way you're feeling now. I know you're not just having fun. I didn't mean that. You probably feel just as you do, this minute. I'm sure that you're not giving me a—a buggy ride! If we should happen to see a chapel right now, and a minister in the doorway, I don't doubt you'd take me into the place, and marry me. And I'm," she drew away from his swift movement toward her, "I'm afraid I'd let you get away with it.
"But now," said Ellen, "you'd better take me home. And then you'd better go home yourself, and go to bed and get some sleep. And when you wake up, have black coffee — lots of it. I'm not saying have coffee," she endeavored to laugh, "because I think you need it, because I think you've been drinking, or anything. You said you hadn't and I believe you. And—" It was such a park exit.
Tony came the next day, slightly before noon, looking a trifle older than he had in his tousled Pirrot costume. Seeming less sun-hwoned, less cure of himself, but somehow more dear than ever—infinitely more dear! Ellen, starting forward to meet him, could hardly hold back her arms. They seemed to be on springs — on springs that dragged them forward, toward him.
Ellen—she wasn't looking quite so vivid herself, as she had in the brief costume of a page boy. Her hair was parted demurely in the middle, and she wasn't made up. She wore a plain little dress of navy blue crepe, with white linen collar and cuffs, and small, straped black slippers. She was like a school girl in appearance.
"Well?" she asked.
The red rushed up under the brown of the boy's cheeks, but he managed to speak just as nonchalantly as she had. "Very well, indeed!" he answered. "Oh, very—"
And then, without quite knowing how they got there, they were in each other's arms, and he was kissing her oddly shaped winglike eyebrows. And she was quivering, close to sobs, against his shoulder.
For a moment they stood together, so. And then Tony spoke.
"I guess," he said, "that settles it! We will be married as soon as possible. How," his voice was close to breaking, "how could you send me home, as you did, last night?"
"This morning!" corrected Ellen.
Tony's face had a high, uplifted look. He paid no attention to the correction. "You had me worried," he said, "stall-

Hospitals and doctors have always used liquid laxatives. And the public is fast returning to laxatives in liquid form. Do you know the reasons?
The dose of a liquid laxative can be measured. The action can thus be regulated to suit individual need. It forms no habit; you need not take a "double dose" a day or two later. Nor will a mild liquid laxative irritate the kidneys.
The right dose of a liquid laxative brings a more natural movement, and there is no discomfort at the time, or after.
The wrong cathartic may often do more harm than good.
A properly prepared liquid laxative like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin brings safe relief from constipation. It gently helps the average person's bowels until nature restores them to regularity. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative which all druggists keep ready for use. It makes an ideal family laxative; effective for all ages, and may be given the youngest child.
