THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1930 PAGE SEVEN LOVE SHY - ) Installment Forty "WEDDING PREPARATIONS Janet left the office on Saturday with all of Mr, Smithers' best wishes and congratulations. accompanying her. He expressed himself as well | » 1 2 Pleased with the use Janet had made 1of his wedding present and promised bo come to sce it some time after she was married. She gave him the @&ddress of the apartment, wrote it 'tdown for him very carefully, and 'wondered why he chuckled so when he read it. ' 1: "I had a little note from your fiance this morning," he said. "He 'gave me your néw address, tdo, and asked me to call. Tell him I had the note and I'll surely accept his invita- tion 'as well as yours, my dear." He chuckled again and shook hands with her with such beaming good nature that Janet went away feeling puzzled. But she forgot about his strange manner in the excitement of the preparations for her new y home. On Sunday she had Jimmy measure all the windows in the japaftment, and then cut material as | [she measured each curtain. "These yellow one will make the kitchen look so cheerful," she told jhim "and I'm glad you like that soft |green theatrical gauze for the living room. Don't forget that you're to |come tomorrow night to paint our {table and chairs." "As if I could forget," he scoffed igently. "I couldn't forget anything-- not Monday when I. paint furniture, nor Tuesday when I unpack dishes, nor ednesday whefi we get the place 'all in order, but, of course, I might forget Thursday--" By Barbara Webb "All right, forget Thursday. I'll just move into this darling place and keep house by myself." : 7: Theyw had ~decided: to he married very quietly Thursday = morning, Jimmy having proposed to take the rest of the week from his work 'for a honeymoon. They. planned to 'go at once to their apartiient in accord- ance with Janet's wishes and to leave for Maine Friday night to spend the week-end with Mildred and John Westlake. "T only wish sometimes that mother and father were going with us when we go to:the church," Janet said, "Have them if you wish, sweet," said Jimmy, "only I just thought it might he. nice if: you-and.l.got this wedding business all over by our- selves." pecially since your father can't come. But you know, Jimmy, while I'm per- fectly happy and all that, I do sort of wish sometimes that we were go- ing to have a real wedding, veils and all. I guess every girl does." "Well, the next time we get mar- ried" said Jimmy, we'll have a big wedding with all the trimmings, but this time I just want you all to your- self, unless, you object too much--do youz" "I wouldn't object to anything you wanted," answered Janet, her mouth full of pins, "but it did surprise me that mother took it §0 quietly. I'm sure if I ever have a daughter I'll want. to be there when she's mar- ried." "Of course you will, and I'll want to look the man over very carefully that your daughter marries, she can't throw herself away on a poor garage hand--take those pins out of your mouth, I want to kiss you." Janet obeyed and was properly re- warded for her obedience. "Are 'vau always 'going to 'do what I tell you?" Jimmy demanded. "Whenever it's as casy as that," she retorted. Monday Jimmy came and painted the furniture, painting also a large | "I suppose so," Janet sighed, "es- | Prince Rupert Wants an Even Break on Peace River \ sweet, we won't keep the minister waiting--or anybody else." So Janet leaned against his shoulder and watched the traffic slide by. Nothing mattered when she was with Jimmy, she thought, though it- did seem awiully queer for the to be going away out on Lor town New York.

"Married in green chanted Jin paint brush, They were like two-happy children | and Jimmy felt sometimes that he could not bear such happiness as | they knew together in these last days before their marriage. Wednesday they,went to get their marriage license, giggling as. all happy young couples do over the questions they had to answer, "Tell me, Janet," Jimmy said very solemnly as they came down the steps from the Courthouse, "don't you ever have fits?" "Fits of stubbornme€ss, but not fits | of foolishness like a certain young man I know," said Janet saucily. | She sent" Jimmy home early that night and called her mother inte her | room to see her wedding outfit. it | lay neatly spread out on her bed, a trim grey-green. suit, a tailored | blouse, smart brown shoes and a| | | yviolet-colored hat with. a wreath of pansics around the br "Jin says the hat is only suit- widow," Janet said dream- ily, "but I don't care, it looks nice on me and it really goes awfully well with my suit, don't you think:" "It's a very nice outfit," Mrs, Lane agreed, "and Janet, your father and I haven't given you a present yet, but since it's something for you to wear tomorrow I think I'll get it and give it to you now." Janet waited in some excitement until her mother returried with her father, bearing a.long white box. "Whatever can it be?" she asked shaking the box as she used to shake presents when she was. a child. "Open it," her father commanded Janet tore off the string and lifted the lid of the box, then gave a long | "Ocooh!" of admiration. With tears | in her eyes and hands that shook she | lifted out a lovely silwer fox fur and placed it around her shoulders. "Oh Mother, or Daddy, it's just wonderful. I wanted a fur and I knew I couldnt have one. Oh, you darlings, you shouldn't have done' this--but I love it just the same." "lI guess we can give our only daughter a nice present if we want to when she's going to be married," Mrs. Lane said, sniffling a little. Mr. "Lane" cleared his" throaty "It's really very becoming, don't you think, Marie?" Janet ran to the mirror, The beautifully silvered fur madé a soft frame for her face and fanet knew it would sct her suit off to perfec- tion, "Jimmy said he was going to send me orchids ahd' sweet peas for my wedding bouquet, won't they look lovely against this' fur? Oh, you're just too good to me," and she hugged them both until they were breathless. Thursday morning dawned clear and fine and sunny, Thefé was a tang of auttmn in the air when Janet ran to close her window. "In two hours Jimmy will be here," she sang under her breath. "In three hours I'll be Mrs. James Warren, Jr. | Oh, how funny it all seems." | She 'was ready when Jimmy cate at hdlf-past 9 and Jimmy's eyes told her how lovely she was. From the crown of her hat to the tips of her trim little shoes she was what Jimmy wanted his bride to be. She kissed her 'father and mother good-by, try- ing to choke back the lumps in her throat as she did so. It would never do to have a red nose at the church where they were to be married. "Hired a car for the day," Jimmy said fionchalantly, pointing to a very shiny new roadster parked' at the curb. "That's nice," said Janet absently. But when they had driven through the city Streets for hzlf an hour she looked "up at him wonderingly, "Wherever are you going, Jimmy? 'Fhis isn't the way to the church." "Oh, I thought we'd take a little ride first, you don't tind, do; you?" "No=1 dagu't-mind=only I don't think it woud be very nice to keep the minister waiting." "Neither do 1" said Jimmy, and then with a happy laugh he leaned over and kissed her, - "Don't worry, | sen, | umbus s |'ships jon sailors, whom sages credit with the discovery the nerican mainland five centuries before Christopher Co- hmbus found an island of the Indies, are literally wing nautical footsteps afte another 500 vears since his historic voyage 1492.
