She found herself seated be tween two of ‘Norman's friends who sought fo make up for the jack of! Del Bigdliness shown by her hostess, But at length the boat docked ‘and Norman, his mother and Cilla whisked Judith home to her apart- ment. _ “Have a big rest,” Norman admon- fshed, “I'll be around here about Roon tomorrow .. . or today, ratier. Want to take you on a picnic; then we'll go home and hi dinner with agreeable to you?”, agreed Judith, part- ‘tng reluctantly from his embrace; anv program which tncluded him was more than agreeable. She walked out on the “under- sung jaw” of her attic after he had Teft. The janitor had kept her pot- ted shrubs and flower boxes watered and weeded. She stretched out in a wieker chair and looked up into the velvety blackness of the sky where stars . . . the color of Mathile’s hatr «+» Seemed neatly appliqued. Mathile loved Norman.

Perhaps, be mused, it wouldn’t be so diffcult weaning her away from the quick tempo of the business office, or the thrill of ad- venturing into the field with Big Tom. HEY watched the sunset from the staked off terrace of their future home, then drove to Nor- man's house. Mrs, Dale was busy ith a bridge foursome—“Judy,” ie apologized, “I'm so sorry ...
