Rosa R. Ray RAY'S PHOTO SERVICE Dept. 26-B La Crosse, Wisconsin OMa/>''< Mates One THE tV/AfAt£X "You're charming and you're beautiful, and when you see something thrilling, why — you're thrilled. Most people are bored stiff. The ones I know anyway. They're jaded. All except you." "That's funny," J.anie said, feeling as if the glow in her stomach was spreading all through the room. "And you know what? I'm not even married." "Cigarette?" Dick said then, and for the first time his voice sounded cautious. But Janie didn't care. She was having too good a time. And when they were flying home again she took off the corsage he had given her and flung it overboard. "Looka me," she said happily. "I'm throwing away orchids !" And then she opened her bag and took out the money that was in it. It wasn't much, but it would do, she thought, as she scattered that over the side too. "And look ! I'm throwing away money too !" They both began laughing then and Dick started asking her riddles and finally she took a deep breath and decided to ask him a riddle too. "I got one," she said. "This'll jus' destroy you. Now listen, you say to me 'Will you marry me?' Go on." "All right," Dick laughed. "Will you marry me?" "Yes !" Janie cried triumphantly. Then she was sorry when she saw the blank look on Dick's face. "You can back out if you want to," she said slowly. "I guess I tricked you." "But the funny thing is," Dick said, sounding as if he were surprised himself, "it's probably a wonderful idea. Would you really marry me?" "Would you really ask me?" Janie said wistfully and then she knew he would, even if he didn't answer her, for he took her in his arms and Janie felt her heart had reached right up to the stars themselves. There wasn't anyone like Dick, Janie thought happily, as he helped her into the big car waiting at the landing field. Why, even though they had come down from the clouds and were on solid ground again and the sunrise was chasing the moon and stars clear out of the skies, he was being just as sweet and romantic as ever. She would have known he was the only man in the world for her if Tom and Harry hadn't been waiting for her when the car stopped at her house. They were sitting on the porch steps and they looked as if they had been waiting all night and when she saw them her heart began going through settingup exercises all over again. For seeing them all together like that she knew she loved them all, the whole three of them. And it was awful after that, with the three of them fighting over who she really was engaged to. Janie didn't know what to do except sit down on the steps and cry as if she could never stop crying again. "I know I'm acting awfully confused," she sniffled. "But that's only because I'm so confused. Golly, everybody's confused, the whole world. You're all so wonderful I just don't know what to do!" They didn't know what to do either, except to try to comfort her in their different ways and the more they tried, the sweeter they were and that only made more confusion. "I'll tell you what," Tom said then. "You think it over tonight and then in the morning we'll all come to breakfast and you can tell us which one you really want." But it wasn't as simple as that, Janie thought, as she got into bed. She put all the dreams together and still they didn't make sense. "If I could only marry the three of them," she thought wistfully. "The four of us would make a lovely couple." She must have fallen asleep then without knowing she did at all, for the next thing she knew she heard their voices downstairs in the dining-room. Tom's voice, how certain it was, why, a girl could depend on a voice like that for the rest of her life. It would have been easy to decide then if she hadn't heard Harry, Harry who didn't take anything seriously at all, who could make her laugh at anything. But there was that other voice, Dick's voice, the voice with the golden ring to it, the voice she had dreamed of all her life. And in just a minute she would have to decide. Which one? Golly, the very thought made her tremble. But she couldn't wait any longer. Her future, the whole three of them, was waiting for her, and she had to make up her mind. Janie took a deep breath and walked slowly down the stairs. WHICH OF THE THREE MEN SO MUCH IN LOVE WITH HER DOES JANIE CHOOSE? SEE OUR NEXT ISSUE FOR THE ANSWER!

It's the ecstatic moment after they whispered their "I Do's." Deanna Durbin, a vision in her beautiful wedding gown, smiles happily into husband Vaughn Paul's eyes. 72 SCREENLAND
