Richard, the charming well- tailored stepfather, returns from @ cruise with his wife and races to Nina’s side. Honey, Nina's gay, youthful mother, is wild about Richard and does not suspect the strong at- traction between him and Nina, David, a bright young auto salesman on a small salary, adores Nina but they argue over money matters, Chapter 39 In Richard’s Renault New woke up with the feeling that it was her birthday, or - ecgegaee or something wonder- ‘ul. She felt a little the way Hester must have, on the évening of that eventful Hunt ball: that she had been wandering round in a mist, trying to find her way, trying to make the best of it... but that, now, suddenly, everything was clear. Sunshine through the murkiness, and she knew where she wanted to go. Nina stretched deliciously, with- out opening her eyes. She felt alive and young, and excited, and calm, all at the same time, And resently—when her stretching fimbs encountered no obstacle— she knew that she was alone. A quick peek affirmed it. David had gone, It didn’t trouble her that he was still angry enough to ‘have left without a word. It simplified everything. She relaxed and shut her eyes again, and thought of Richard, and Richard, and nothing else. _ She went over everything he had said the night before: “God! How I’ye waited for this!” “I've been half-mad with wanting you -” and “I'm back, lovely. Tl make vou happy .. .” Of course, he wouid! She pondered on the queer, deadening effect of heat and dish- washing, and poverty that had ac- tually made her think she had got over him. She wished that last night could happen all over again, when she wasn't ive so hysterical, so that she could appreciate, to the full, the, wonder of his return ... still loving her, still wanting her, to the exclusion of everything else. And, although Nina didn’t dwell on the practical side of things, she cotildn’t help realizing how well the details were working out: they had to give up the apartment, any- way; and Gracie would be just around the corner, waiting to.com- fort David, to assure*him that Nina had never been the right girl for him. . to cook and clean and be merry about it, and, some day, ig him a marvelous wife, her- self. When Nina came to the thought ot Honey, she could think of no justification for what she was » plinniny’ to do, but just then the telephone rang, and it was Rich- ard.

What was he wearing .. . his black cremingnywy with the sil- ver dragons? Or had he—oh, sure- ly, he must have bought himself some new, marvelous things at Charvet, in Paris. Richard was talking in a low voice... probably from the tele- phéne closet in the hall... well, soon now, all that would be over. There would be nothing to hide. Everyone would know, He was saying: “I got a Renault, abroad. It'll be off the boat by noon + 44 We'll motor out of tewn this | afternoon for tea. I shan’t be here, this. morning, when you come, darling ... pick you up about 3:30 at'your'place...?" i ¢ “Yes . . 3:30, then.” . They said goodby, directl¥‘aftér that. He couldn’t talk, evidently; but Nina dressed for the ordeal of her visit to Honey, with her heart thumping wildly. She sang little snatches of songs, and raced But- ton around the block, so that he came in panting, and regarded Nina, from the coolness of the tiled floor in the Bathroom, with sur- prised and loving eyes. It had been nearly five months since Nina had been to the house on_74th street. She nadn't thought of anything except how happy she was, on the way over; but now, as she stood on the familiar stoop, as Bridget wel- comed her—red and freckled from her summer vacation—as she heard Honey's voice calling from above, Nina had a sinki feeling in her insides at the ee t of the bomb she was going to fling into this tranquil house. Tt grew worse as she entered her mother’s room and saw her, in a sea of tissue paper, surrounded by new finery . . . laughing . . . hold- ing out her arms. .. ‘Nina .. . Baby!” Nina’s “Honey!” was almost a! was burning But she mustn't think about it —yet. it was just as it hac always been, after Honey's yearly returns from Euro, of new clothes. Anecdotes...

Incessant telephone calls... Sometimes in the pasts Nina had felt a little hurt that Honey was always so full of her own trips, 80 eager to show off her new things, that she didn’t have much time to ask what Nina had been doing. Oh, she would ask all right, but usu- ally with her eye on her or her mind on something else and then she would say, reproach. fully, the next day: “Now, baby, you haven't told me a thing about yourself!” ... just as though it had been Nina's fault. oH, But, today, she’ was’ of it, When' Honey‘asked about \herselt and David,-Nina-said: “Now, this is sour day; ..» lets talk about you.” id that was what ney, really .wanted, The all i ee wo excite ONY OTOZ | for the that | badly, like Italian linen, and some marvelous old 5... and a dressing-gown for David, too...

Generally Democrats failed to ex- hibit the enthusiasm which for- merly greeted the President’s proposals and there is something of a spirit of rebellion in evidence. Meanwhile, the President’s strat- egy seems to be to state his ob- jectives and leave the problem to Congress. So far, the Congress has given little indication of be- ing,able to evolve satisfactory so- lutions to present national prob RECORD made of all of the communications relating to the merits of any ap- plication pending before the Com- [mission. He thinks this might stop the requests and recommen- dations which are often received by parties not on the record and similar suggestions which have been made after a case has been closed.
