She has her own apartment. al- ready -ome good friends. One cf these is Cornelia, who has money but still works. Cornelia is threat- ening to give a dinner for Carol, and to invite Blake Thornton, Blake’s wife Irma spends most of her time at a considerable distance from her husband. Chapter 25 ABOUT IRMA i ie NOT so srre about mixing bus!- ness and pleasure, or getting Identified with Blake, even as casu- ally as that. Get some unmarried ones,” she laughed, “and let us look each other over.” “All right. It's your party.” There ‘was regret in Cornelia’s voice as she relinquished Blake. “What is his wife like?” Carol de- manded. “I asked Marge, but you now how much I got out of her.” “She's a vixen,” Cornelia said erisply. “It was one of those adoles- eent infatuations that boys have for beautiful older women, and she was Just low enough to gobble him up. Blake was twenty-two and she was twenty-nine; old enough to know better, but he looked like her last chance. I don’t believe she ever cared glancing at a mirror, and the hat fell instantly and rakishly into place. She said: “And thanks for the night- cap,” and was gone, leaving a swift | smile that lingered like music in the | room. OCKBROOK, according to the ad- | vertfsing folders, “nestles in the | cool heart of the Blue Ridge Moun- | tains, at an altitude of 2.675 feet.” It boasts “a superb cuisine, jewel-like lakes for swimming and fishing. a magnificent eighteen-hole golf course designed by Donald Ross. ...” | It has, too, its rocking chair squad- | ron of elderly women who wear | bouelé suits by day and quantities of | amethyst jewelry by night. | Irma Thornton was the darling of the squadron. Her bridge and “her ; clothes were faultless if unimagina. | ble, and she was enougb younger than the rest to flatter them with | her attention and to be flattered by ; their gratitude. Among these old women Irma was | a “girl,” and Irma’s faltering ego | preferred feeling young in the midst | of age to feeling old in the midst of | youth. That was why she chose to | spend her summers at Rockbrook. | She sat this afternoon 4: one of the | bridge tables; a still handsome wo | man exquisitely dressed in white. Irma’s clothes were her career and : her religion: she judged other wo | \ healers. Cornelia rose and stretched like a sleek cat. much about him—or about anybody, except Irma. Now her looks are go- ing, and consequently her nerves: her health can’t stand the rigors of ® Georgia climate!” “But .ouldn’t you think she’d be afraid to leave a man like Blake at the mercy of the vultures?” “Oh, he’s a martyr on the altar She knows he wouldn’t divorce her without some flagrant cause, and she Stays at home just enough to retain —er—contact. And she’s not apt. now, to find a lover to furnish the cause.” “They never had any children?” “No. She used to go around sob bing and bleating about it at first, but that was for the gallery. She’s always been neurotic.” “Sweet.” Carol commented grins ly, thinking of Blake’s taut mouth and the coldness of his eyes. “Very.” Cornelia dipped her lac- quered nails delicately into a finger bowl. “What’ll we do now?” “Go home, | guess. It's after nin and I'm still a little battered after day’s work. Why can’t you stqp 1 for a few minutes and see where live? I'll give you a liqueur for a uightcap.” “I'll be delighted.” HEY drove out in Cornelia’s road- ster, that was as trim and shin. Ing as Cornelia herself. it was dis couraging to reflect that she, who had so much, was groping too. She hadn’t even the excuse of compara: tive poverty to lean back on. She took in Carol's apartment at a glance, and nodded. “Damn nice. especially in view of what you had to work with. 1 wish it were mine.” Cornelia fingered her drink and smiled. “Not bad for a working girl.” “Oh, this was Pat’s parting gift. and the glasses came from home. In hale it slowly, Lord know: when I'll get any more.” “There's plenty available.” “Yeah. The only catch is in paying for it.” They talked lazily for half an hour, then Cornelia rose and stretched like a sleek cat. “I'll phone you about Friday.” Cornelia said. “What time, and who'll pick you up, and all the rest. And maybe we can have lunch in the meantime. She dragged on her hat without | Dence Saturday | | his orchestia. | The at meat values though they, to- gether with fresh pork and veal, are igher.
