CHAPTER TWO
THERE WERE others at the
party, ^uite young ones, younger
evta than Thelma. They had been
considered infants when Donna and
her crowd were having their hap-
piest times at the Lakeside. Now
they were conspicuously present,
patently taking over in their turn.
Some of them were married and
one, whom Don* remembered as
a* impertinent <\lle brat, was the
mother of tw’^j. *
Mark Baniater was unchanged.
Donna, dancing in his arms, talked
*long in her old cheerful manner,
teasing, chaffing, gay in repartee,
to which he responded in kind as
he always had done. But no light
chatter could entirely banish the
nagging consciousness of all the
tragic changes time had brought.
Conversation among the girls
was different too, and for some
reason it made Donna, the unmar-
ried, feel old and wise and sophis-
ticated. Comparison of formulae
and baby weights; tribulations
with baby sitters: high cost of gro-
ceries; job injustices to which hus-
bands wt-r? subject—blatant triv-
ialities in a world burning with
terrific iscuea
Donna burrowed her head against
Mark's cheek contentedly and for
a while they danced in silent pleas-
ure. That, she mused, was one of
Mark’s best points; whether you
talked or whether you were silent,
you were sure of his companion-
able contentment. She glanced up
at him, a glance of approval which
froze suddenly on her bright face.
Mark was not gazing down at the
top of her head with his usual rapt
adoration. His eyes, deeply shin-
ing, were fixed off somewhere in
space, away from her. His lips
were curved in a broad smile.
Donna halted their rhythmic
movement and squared about to
face him.
“What are you laughing at?”
she demanded suspiciously. “No-
body said anything."
He drew her back into his arm.
“Was 1 laughing? 1 didn't know
it But there’s laughter inside of
me and I suppose it oozed out to
the surface.’’
“If you are thinking something
funny,,you ought to tell me. I
laughing, too.”
“It isn’t really funny and
nothing to laugh at either,
just grinning like a fool because
I’m so happy I can’t help it”
. He was supposed to be happy
dancing with her, Donna reflected,
and he was happy. Still, his was

Again Donna halted their danc-
ing. “Mark! No!" she cried joy-
! *
“Donna! Yes!" His voice, no
more than a whisper, was resonant
with pleasure. - J
Donna flung both arms around
, him and kissed him ecstatically.
“Darling, darling!” she cried. “How
wonderful! How gorgeous! I’m
proud of you!"
All dancing ceased abruptly and
their friends crowded about them.
“Congrats! Congrats!”
“Well, It’s about.time!"
9 “You promised I can be maid of
honor!’*
“What’s the date? I want to
make a note of it!"
‘Tou certainly were slow get-
ting around to It! You*ll never

“Oh, it hasn’t anything to do
with me," Donna cried gaily. "It’s
all Mark! He got a big step. An
enormous step! They took him Into
the firm! He’s a podner!"
There were handclasps and
shoulder slaps. There were con-
gratulations and moans of envy.
There were hints of favors to be
asked and jobs to be sought.
“A step’s a step, Mark, my lad,”
he was reminded. “Out of service
as well as in.”
Mark nodded cheerful acceptance
of wartime responsibilities of serv-
ice “steps” and they moved

“On me,” he said tp the
bartender. “What’ll you
parasites ?"
The party began breaking up
soon after. Donna clung to the
dregs of it as long as she could,
making excuses for delay although
Mark tried to hurry her. Someone,
she said, had to see that things
were wound up properly and she
was on the committee. The mar-
ried couples, she remarked point-
edly, tired of dancing much more
quickly than in their premarital
days. And of course baby sitters
doubled their rates after midnight
She reminded Mark of other years
when they had danced all night
and then, around four or five in
the morning, when borrowed maids
and rented bartender had gone,
had eooked breakfast for them-
selves, coffee and bacon and eggs.
