jhe georgetown heram wednesday arltu 3rd 1946 h spike heels by alici duane at ccluta syndicate wnu features ll never forget my disappoint 1 ment the first time i saw kitty barlow s brother brand he swell kitty would say the awellest brother in the world i remember hearing swell used that way for the first time by kitty about her brother before we wen using swell when we still thought it was pld fashioned blang for fobh lonable kitty used to ray her brother was wonderful or great but one day she burst into my room with a bon of candy it was rainy a chilly winter afternoon too bad for arty outdoor exercise and you jtnow how gloomy a girl schooi gets- under conditions like that sn kittys box of candy as natiirall a godsend hes the swellel egantest brother in the world she so d and of course i agreed i was thrilled with the easy way she rolled this ntw bit of slang off her tongue and i was hungry for some candy any way i d come to think a lot of brand just because he was so nice to kitty it was funny of course when i really seemed to know him so well but i never met brand till id been ont of school two years and was twenty they lived m california and brand went to school and col lege there and he was on a bus ness trip in south america when we were graduated from murchison s so kittys father came on alone for it her mother had died by that time then kitty went to college near home and i went abroad to study art for two years even then brand and i sent messages to each other through kittys letters we felt like old friends because kitty was always swapping messages for us and quoting as to each other when i came back i went straight to visit kitty i d promised to spend christmas holidays with them then i saw brand for the first time standing on the station plat form beside kitty and didn t they look good until suddenly as they were running forward to meet me i realized that brand was short kit ty is shorter than i and he didn t seem much taller than she i can t tell you how my heart sank no real reason then of course for it to behae like that for i really didn t care how tall or how abort brand was then well we had a ga ten days that first evening we talked over plans for the whole visit kitty had a lovely step mother who seemed t want to do everything to make kitt and brand happy are jou all set for the fincy dress dance on new years ir- asked kitty and of course i was tm going as a spanish dancer i have a costume i got n spa n i said old lace mant ma full skirt painted fan and the d nek i est spike heel red slippers you ever saw well said brand and alroad i was conscious of his eyes on rm most of tht time well he siid we 11 look good together won t we i m going to be friar tuck brown robe rope girdle and all i m going to wear sandals w three days before the party i got away by myself and went shopping before i went i took one last look at my spikeheeled red slippers my lovely tortoise shell comb my beau tiful painted fan you see i had decided to wear another costume the spanish one wouldn t do without those spikeheel shoes and they d ustmakemetootalifoc brand in his monk s sandals so i decided to be a nun with nice flatheeled suppers under my long skirts i managed to get the costume and sneak it in and when i tried it on by myself that evening i decided i really looked very sweet and de mure in it and a lot shorter the party came at last and with out saying anything to kitty or brand about my change of plans i dressed intjay dovegray costume with my white veil and wimple and my little white mask and went downstairs there m the hall look bag up and waiting for me was brand he didnt have his mask on but i would nave known him any my he wasnt friar tuck in stead he was in spanish costume dressed as a toreador with those highheeled boots that stage torea dors wear he looked beautiful wait ing so eagerly he knew me even in my strange costume and white mask that made me look so little he looked at me as 1 stood a little shyly beside him not just across at me as he would normally not up to me as he would have if he d worn the sandals and i d worn those spike- heeled slippers but just down at me and then 1 lost any bit of re gret i might have had for my gor ceous spanish costume well said brand quizzically yes i answered shakily i mess we both had the same thought i stuck out one flat heeled round toed soft
