one wet and WINDY night las
September, Dick Gregory was lock
ing up his house, on his way upstairs
to bed.
He turned out the light in the hall
and stood for a moment listening to
the staccato music of the rain
against che windows. It was then
that he noticed something odd about
the pane of glass in the front door.
There Was'a shadow on it, against
the light from the street lamp OUT
side. The SHADOW moved and then
stood still. 1t showed clearly the
slim outlines of a woman.
There came light tapping on the
pane. AS Dick went toward the
door, the tapping became louder,
faster-a nervous appeal.
He opened the door, and the lamp
light showed him the yelled face Of
the woman who stood there.
May he said. cts May Sey-
mour! Isn't it,"
With only a little throaty laugh
for answer, May Seymour stepped
into the warm darkness of the hall.
As Dick switched on the lights she
threw back the sodden veil from the
pallor of her face
eyes, it's the return of the prod

"but kill me no fatted calf, Dick.
I've come to see you on business,

She stopped and looked around
her. where's Glory" she asked

and led her into the living room.
He drew up chair for her near the

drenched hat in her hands and
looked down at it ruefully.

"Wait until you see herw Dick
answered, "you won't know her. ;"
May turned her face toward the
door as there came a sound of light
steps on the stairs and Gloria Greg
Ory walked into the room.
SO far as May could see, Gloria
was the same Gloria she had al
ways been except for a new look in
her eyes. There was a tenderness
in them :. a softness that had not
been there . year ago. The look o.
fulfillment that is only in the eyes
of mothers.
1t deepened in them, as she saw
the woman who sat holding ont hel
slender hands to the fore.
"Why. Nav! Nav Sevmonr" che /
cried. and nut her arms around her.

May shrugged her shoulders.
From ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, " she
said, stonily, 81 haven't any special
place to drop from these days. -
Gloria looked down at her sharp
". taking IN the wet rings Of hair
on her forehead. the look of strain
around ner eyec, the weary droop
of her painted mouth.
The year since May Seymour had
left town following the suicide Of
her husband had put its stamp IN
her face once so charming in It's
gayety and impudence 1t was thin

You're soaking, sopping, sizzling
wet" Gloria cried, 81 don't know
where you came from, but this do
know-you're not going out into
this storm again tonight! You're
going to stay here with us"
She turned to her tall husband
who stood, silent, in the doorway Of
the firelit room.
"You go and make some of your
famous coffee, Dick" she ordered
briskly, land I'll get some dry
things for her to put on"
May sank back and closed her
eyes. fNo, no." sh e protested.
please don't bother about me. I'm
going right back to the hotel"
But Gloria had gone. May could
hear her moving lightly around up
stairs. She could hear the sound OF

She drowsed.
When she opened her eyes again
he was back in the room.
"You said you'd come to see me

long body against the chimney piece.
His eyes questioned her.

Her voice, shrill and bitter, stop
ped as Gloria came downstairs. She
knelt down before May and drew
the drenched satin slippers from her
feet-pulled off the thin chiffon
stockings.
"Take these into the kitchen and
put them under the water heater,
she said, handing them to Dick. as
hat coffee ready?"
When he came back with the COZ

upstairs he could hear the low mur-
muir of the two women's voices.

When Gloria came upstairs ten
minutes later with the belated cof-
