ARADISE DAWSON Santa took courage from “the philosophy, Because she wasn't/an egg, she'd gone behind Clive’s bagk | in the matter of the apartment. | She'd learned from experience that ; to hold a man you must make a background. Hadn't she lost one: husband? Nevertheless, she scarce- ly knew how to face him. She felt guilty. Her head bowed as in prayer, she was furtively lipsticking, her ear was pinched.

She'd followed Machiavelli’s prin- eiple—done evil that good migtt come of it, Could she trast him to credit her with the good? “Still keen on it?” he grinned at her across the table, i “Oo what?” She wriggled. “O, the apartment! :f youare. But no descriptions. 1 refuse to prejudice you in its favor.” | ‘Through lunch he tried to wheedle { information, “How many rooms? What's the rent?

Lawns in their spring attire shone vivid and un- trampled. Beds of hyacinths scent- ed the breeze with their wistful fragrance, Even artificial lakes contrived to look natural. “The home I’ve chosen, if you agree,” she belittled her enterprise, “isn’t fashionable, It’s on the West | Side. You must have guessed that from our direction.” “Which makes it reasonable” He glanced down at her slight fig- ure, “One has to live within one’s income. In a single room, if it were ours, I could be riotous.” A hall. A man in livery, He was hustled into an elevator aud shot up to the tenth floor. Produc: ing a key, she opened a door with an air of proprietorship. He passed as an intruder from room to room. Seven of them. By his standards the furnishings were lavish, In the drawing-room he noted a silver tray arranged for tea, Walking over to the window, he was dazzled by a burst of beauty—the Park like @ forest, blowy lawns, tufted spaces, glinting stretches of distant water. He glanced cursorily round the bedroom. Wrenching the handle of &@ cupboard he recognized his own suits. Before he had recovered, the doorbell was clamoring. The agent with the lease, no doubt. He was reluctant to make Santa look foolish, but this farce must be stopped. The staccato of exclamations. He retraced his steps to the hall, A scrum was in progress—Santa be- ing collared by. @ man and woman. The woman pointed an accusing fin- ger at Clive. “What are you doing?” Santa disentangled herself and became umpire. “He won't hurt you, Mummy. I’m his wife.” “Without our consent!” Mrs. Dawn appealed-desperately to her husband. “Did you near that, Eric? Our child's remarried and the ink’s hardly dry on her divorce.” Santa's father was removing his coat, He proceeded with his task unrefiidd. Mrs. Dawn strove again to rouse him, “Your child tells you she’s re-| married. Have you nothing to say?” | “Yes.” Taking Dis time, he held} out his hand to Clive. “You've won at last. You're a persistent fellow. My wife was responsible for the'| first mess.” “That's not true, Bric.” “You've done your best to man-| age us all,” he squeiched her. Then| to Clive. “You've taken a load off} my mind. I've lain awake of nights. | I'm grateful. So this is your new! home?” “We've rented it furnished,” Clive resigned himself to the inevitable. The reconciliation seemed com- Plete. Omissions of kindness were explained.. But at parting, with her unerring fmstinct for saying the right thing at the wrong moment, Mrs. Dawn perpetrated another break. “I must say, darling, the furn!- ture we gave you and Dicky fits in very nicely-and your other wed- ding presents look nice.” (Copyright 1992-1982, Cowtogsby Dewioa) How will Ctive take the know!- THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA HAS FOUND nate. colt Rte ville; No. 9, George McCampbell, West Palm Beach.
