The Paris buyer for the store had sent over a dress one time which he sald was an exact copy of the model worn by Yvonne Coutant at the Long- champs races. The store designers had added four inches to the back and front and put on shoulder straps, and made of it a best-selling num- ber in the $400 class. And she, Joan- na, yesterday morning “Miss Twenty- seven,” had talked with her! Had talked and held her own with her! “Did you really mean that her hu band actually is here tonight?" she asked her companion “One of them. If I spot him I'll give you a nudge.

She began to wonder much about him. She had thought him old, much too old, but he danced with her and talked to her on the level of easy youth. She had ob. served earller in the evening that most of the men around the tables appeared to be much older than their women. But, she reflected, they seemed to be men who had a place in life, and so were more worth while than inconsequental younger men. And she rather liked the change.
