But, certainly at that mo- ment, she had been more than glad that she had.other guests invited for dinner. Moreover, she determ- ined whenever possible, to avoid further tete-a-tetes between Hen- derson and her husband. This she was fairly successful in doing. Her guest was never up remained downtown all day and, in the evenings, Barbara and Hen- derson were either out .at some function or she had friends as- sembled in her apartment.
