Sandy came tiptoeing into the room
she now shared with Judith. Mid
night in late August with fine sum-
mer moon sending streamers Of light
across the bed. She stood a moment
at the window, the brilliant shawl Ra-
mon had sent half drsped about her
shoulders. She wore orchids in a
nebulous white chiffon that made her
look as though robed in fog.
She twined her fingers in the long
fringe of the shawl and smiled. Men
were like this-all Of them! That
boy tonight begging her TO run away

But she was glad about Ramon.
Eight months since that night in De

she had heard from him. In the end

letter full Of hope, but with one mem
orable paragraph:

in his.

back the bun of shiny, brown hair.

Judith hurried past her sisters room,
ignoring an inviting: "Come in! What
did he have to say? Be bit sociable,
won't you?"
Nothing. I'm tired She went
into the darkened room, lit the can
dies on her dresser. She felt quiet
and shaken and as though she should
look as pale as death.
She sat between the two lighted can
dies and stared at herself, turning
her head sideways, noting as though
it were a matter Of the utmost i'm
port the really beautiful hair line.
She pushed back the hair and studied
her ear, small, close fitting.
Abruptly tears filled her eyes. But
she smiled. Then she covered her
face. She whispered: HE knows
that / love him l told him
just as much as told him."
She took her hands down and
clasped them. Nice hands-he thought
she had nice, soft hands.
Her lips moved. She found her
self praying-an odd supplication :
Make me beautiful! Oh, give me
somethingl SOMETHING!
She hung up her clothes very
neatly. She asked: did be grow
red because / said that?"
She fell asleep. She dreamed that
Douglas came over in the morning
that he said: Il see that you love
