She was back in New York, with the pleasant days at Claiborne behind her and this. was-her. first, meeting. with David since his return. yesterday uda. He was different; sometiow. She had a feeling he was blaming her for all the unpicasant- ness of his cruise. She felt, too, that he was being deliberately woeful about the whole:thing: “Swanstrom expects the revised play script from Dixon on Mon- day,” David said quietly. Noel looked at him startled. “I was going to cali him this afternoon. How did you know? I should think he would have told me first.” “Well—” David's words came slowly. “I happened to be talking to_him and he mentioned it.” That wasn’t like Swanstrom, Neg! re | realized. So instead of phon- roducer as soon as she left David's she took a taxi to his Office. “Tl expect the world to come tumbling down on my shoulders if Dixon i a his promise,” Swan- strom told her when she arrived. Noel thought he’ would offer her the contract then, hinted at such. Even suggesting that if he waited too long, some other producer might sign her. “Tl. take that chance,” Swan- strom told her cynically. Both of them knew there was no other ve- hicle into which she might fit. But his mood changed quickly. He talked of her part, of how much he counted on a long run—of the other members of the cast. David didn’t call her but the next morning a huge box of flow- ers was delivered early with his neat writing inscribing the peni- tent message: “Noel, my dear one, it’s because I love you so much.” David, she decided, was over his pa mood. When the mail was ray up she found a charming note from Mrs. Marchand: “Allan and Lare coming down to New York for New Year's Eve. I'll call you when I arrive.” she wrote. Then she added, “I dread it so much, as the time for his going back | tom@outheaimericassdraws near.” Noel's spirits sank as she read that part of the letter. She, too, hated to think that in two weeks Allan would be going so far away. There was nothing important on her list of engagements to make the day interesting. Then she made a sudden plan. Using Her Head hg SEEMED foolish all the way down to the Pennsylvania Sta- tion, but she bought a round-trip ticket to Orson and learned she had only twenty minutes to wait for the train. Sitting, staring out through the train window, it the towns and fields of New Jersey, she thought. about the impulse that had driven her to this journey. She knew more than she cared to admit that an- other line in Mrs. Marchand’s let- ter had something to do with it. “Elaine seems to realize she made a mistake in not marrying Allan. I wish they’d decide one way or another. I want my boy to be py.” Elaine, Noel thought bitterly, al- ways ha octae what she wanted. a oo obviously she wanted. y three o’clock when rough the narrow, tw was aenensi walked t! gh streets of Orson, conte rived. so eae She sto} mt of one houge, smaller ae dingier than the rest.

David was substance, security— all the rest, make-believe and un> certainty. ‘Practically Cured’ lg, bo morning: a note came by «'\) messenger‘from David: “I woke up: with: a: beastly cold, and a temperature,” David wrote.

She thought he. looked. ghi . His face was tired and much older. Noel walked to the bed and touched his forehead. She was shocked at the dry heat of the skin, “I'm. so! psoas il,” she murs mured as asped her hand and held it hun; a y between his.palms, “You're like a visiting angel,” he told her, “It makes the room dif ferent — the whole world’ has PRI eerie, Noel. tried to make. herself ful.
