L AURETTE was dining alons In her apartment, while oubide the tempo of a New Year’s Eve cel ebration grew in intensiUr. It was quiet, sitting there by can- dleli^t, a beautiful moment to re flect back over the 12 months Just ending—except that tonight was so crucial! Tonight the vigil would end, the problem would resolve It self. But which way? It was a strange thing they had done. Just a year ago tonight, while all New York was going mad welcoming the Nfw Year with rau cous gaiety, they had been sitting In thb very room—yes, Harry over there in the big arm chair and she, Lauretta, in the very chair she oc cupied at this moment "Laurie,'’ he used to call her; not "Laurette,” the name everyone ebe used, but "Laurie,” the convenient abbrevia tion he had invented. ‘Tm a failure, Laurie,” he had said. "Five years on thp same Job with nothing; to show save a thhw ning head of hair and an almost empty bank account” laurette remembered how she had tried to comfort him, and then ttie bombshell: "No, honey,” he had said flatly. *lt’s no use. We can’t be married, for I’d merely be faMening a mill stone around your neck. Tm leav ing—having you right now!” She had cried, protested, and then he bad agreed to make a game of It ns parting words, stm vivid, were: ”If you’ll wan a year, Laurln <lea^-rAjrear from tonUht If Fvh sueeeeded.

She remembered the questions their friends had asked. Where was Harry? Away on a long trip she had replied, at flrst. Then she ^ad ceased to offer excuses, and of course the friends stopped asking questions. Only once bad there been word of him. and then only vary feideflnite news. "I saw him getting into a cab on Market street,” Bill Collins had told her upon returning from a trip to San rranebeo. "At least I think it was Harry.
