I THE TOWN'S TRIANGLE
By June Reed Ruff
Defore Lucy Perkins came to
•*-*town, everyone was certain
Gus Beeman would marry Miss
Ida Bell. Gus had maintained a
half-hearted courtship for more
than five years.
And as Miss Ida often said, she
had a lot to offer Gus. The fine
old Victorian house inherited from
her parents, the stocks and se
curities, and a reputation with
out blemish.
Gus could do a lot worse. He
was not handsome or even mod
estly well off. He was portly, part
ly bald.
Miss Ida was content to bide her
time. Marriage was inevitable.
Then Lucy Perkins bought the
boarding house where Gus lived,
and the picture changed.
Gus still squired Miss Ida to
church on Sundays and remained
at her house for Sunday dinner,
but he was spending several
nights In the drab boarding house
parlor with Lucy Perkins.
It was an odd triangle, with
coy, overweight Lucy hiding her
age beneath a camouflage of drug
store glamour, flirting open ad
miration at Gus. While prim, flfty-
Ish Miss Ida became grimly pos
sessive.
In the end It was Miss Ida who
forced a decision. She invited
Lucy to Sunday dinner with Gus.
The two women occupied op
posite ends of the polished dining
table, with Gus and a roasted
chicken between them. It was a
proper meal, with linen napkins.
It was not until they retired to
the ornate parlour after dessert
that Miss Ida brought the conver
sation to the topic of common In
terest. ■
I “There are things we should
discuss." She sat very straight
| her chair. "I believe each of
pa should have our say." She
lacked at Lucy.
••What’s to say?" Lucy shrugged
Wle shoulders and lifted a pen-
IM eyebrow expressively. "I’m

in love with Gus."
Miss Ida smoothed her black
Sunday dress primly. *T’ve never
claimed to be ‘ln love’ with Gus."
The thought and the words em
barrassed her. "But I’m fond of
him.
Gus stirred uneasily and tried
to smooth matters with an em
barrassed grin.
"The time has come to make a
choice, Gus.” Miss Ida met his
grin coldly. "We have become
common gossip.”
“Shucks,” Gus gulped and
glanced from Miss Ida’s inquiring
gaze to Lucy’s hopeful expression.
"Ida,” he said soberly, “I al
ways figured you and me would
get married someday.
"I’ve never said that,” Miss
Ida reminded.
“You wouldn’t.” Gus smiled
fondly. “But that don’t change
facts."
“What can you offer Miss Per
kins?” Ida interrupted.
“That’s just it,” Gus grinned.
"Lucy here needs taking care
of.
“Are you in love with her?"
Miss Ida stumbled over the un
familiar words again.
Gus gazed down at Lucy’s dye
brightened head, and Miss Ida
knew that he saw Lucy exactly
as she did.
“I love her," he said softly.
Miss Ida turned away abruptly.
1 If he had said. “I’m In love with
i her,” there might have been
, hope.
) "I hope you will both be very
t happy.” She stood up to indicate
- an end to the visit. "And now,
- Good Afternoon.”
When they were gone the old
1 Victorian house assumed a hol
t low Sunday quiet,
t He looked different to Miss
i Ida. Older. She sighed. Perhaps
she had never really known Gus
1 at all. His unexpected decision
- bad changed his Image in he*
i eye*.
