FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1987. “J wo’s Company By MARGARET GUION. HERZOG The Characters Nina, a nice girl with flaren hair, has fallen in love with her stepfather. Richard, the charming, well- tailored stepfather, pays consid. erable attention to Nina. Honey, Nina’s gay, plump, youthful mother, is crazy about her new: husb David, a young: auto salesman, crashed a party, met Nina and lost his heart. * Cordeli is Nina’s closest friend.

They might not have been so very much better than an expertly thrown together drink, but it cre- ated an atmosphere. “There,” he said at last, lifting his glass of amber fluid to the light. “A votre santé... ma belle.” He looked at her steadily as he drank. “You know, Nina,” he came and sat beside her on one of the love- seats, “you shouldn’t send young men out intc the night with heaven in their eyes... unless...” “Unless what?” “Unless you mean what you say, Why is that chap ‘good for you,’ Nina? ... You don’t want him.” She flushed. “So! You were listening.” coe overheard. Why,” he pet sisted. “is he ‘good for you’?” “Why,” she counteréd, “don’t you think I want him?” He smiled slowly. “Well, I don’t think I'll tell you why, just yet, but I’m—quite—certain, my dear. Now, will you answer my ques- tion?” Nina put her glass down, because it was shaking. “He’s so sort of . . . oh, | don’t know, natura) and wholesome, I suppose you'd call it j mad enough to be ent Richard was still smiling as he said: “You know, Nina... I think I could be—most awfully—good for you, too.” She said, quickly, softly: “You're bad for me,” and could have bitten her tongue. He took her hund, and traced with his finger, a little blue vein at her wrist, to where it disappeared up under the lace cuff. He didn’t say poy thing +». which ‘was much worse than if he had said a lot._He chose to leave her little, r= impulsive remark sizzling in the |" air, between them. The longer they kept silent, the larger it grew. “I'll have another,” said Nina at last, just to say—something. But when he brought her a fresh drink, she couldn’t touch it. He began to talk then, pointedly, of other things... the way people do, when there is something to be covered up. It didn’t occur to her, that he might be doing it on pur- poss. « only that he was tryin, help her out. on The room was full of it. Even the |“ old English clock in the corner ticked it out relentlessly: “You're bad for me. You're bad for me.” Nina felt that it might just as well have spilled the whole works: “You're bad for me because I love |. you, and I shouldn't!” Where vere her wits? She felt that if she couldn’t think of some ss 8 to un-say it, she would go ad. When Honey came in, a few minutes later, she had an idea. “Hello, angel.

That Frenchwoman’s fingers are always cold.” ina knocked on his door and went in... leaving it open. “How do you know? Does she dress you every evening too?” He was standing before a long mirror, chin up, tying his white tie; but when she came in, in her trailing chiffon, he looked at her in the glass, and let his hands drop. Somehow, with shaking fingers, she managed to fasten the two but- tons at the back. He smelled of freshly laundered linen, and an expensive soap, and eau-de-Cologre or powder or something he had patted on to his cheeks. When she had finished, he swung ben and took her two hands in is. “Thank you . . . sweet thing,” he said softly, and pressed her palms against his face, for a mo- hand me my combination, will Nina? . . . that white one.

Outside, in the tam, he drew Nina’s arm through his. “Well, now perhaps you'll ex- plain why you've been avoiding me lately.

And you'd really have to be a hermit to escape noticing just how much color’s being used. Even bath- rooms—those last strongholds of household change—have gone over to the color side in a big way. The people who make bathroom fix- tures are trying all shades and hues...dusty pink, mauve, blue and—heaven help us—black! Per- haps your bath still has the stand- ard white porcelain fixtures (most people’s do), but that’s no reason the room can’t be as color- ful as any other in the house. Be- sides, lots of people will always Decorator prefer the white fixtures. White porcelain sort of goes with wash- ing behind ears, scrubbing backs, and lathering chins. i But there are amazing things | isa can do to transform that ; throom. First, give your walls | a coat of nice, satiny washable | Paint in any of several lovely col- ors.

It can be white, or pale in color or—since it } covers such a small surface—it can be vivid. If you’re very dar- ing you may have dark red wood- work and a pale pink wall, be- | T 4 cause pink and red are very good | together this season—even if ten | years ago we wouldn’t have been | caught dead in such a combina- | tion. If that’s still too wild for you, imagine a pale pink bath- room with cream colored wood- & new combination too. Those small, old-fashioned rag rugs in bright colors are once more very smart for bathrooms. Then, if you top off with some | new window curtains—bright if ; your room is restrained in color: pale or white if the room is vivid and a few nice. towels, you'll | have a bathroom you needn't be | ashamed of in any contest. 1 CCCCOCOOOOEOOOOOOOOSOSEEOOOOOOEOOEOOOEOOOOOOEEE® TODAY IN HISTORY 1500—Columbus returns to Spain from his third voyage tojyoted at Rochester, the New World, this time fetter- ed and chained by the new gov-! ernor of the colonists of Santo Domingo, 1605—Historic Guy Gunpowder Plot—annually brated in England. 1781—John Handson of Md. elected President of the Congress of the Confederacy—from whence some hold he was our first Presi- dent. cele- 1872—To test legality of wom-!
