piness when she had walked into
the house with Staley Drum
mond's kiss on her mouth and
his diamond upon her finger.
For months and months she had
been trying to get him to the
sticking point"-the point of pro-
posing marriage to her.
He'll never do it." her best
friend, Susan Cain, had told her
in their heart.to-heart talks.
''Staley's almost 40--and a bach.
elOr as old as that is as slippery
as . cake of wet SOAP"
But he has done It! Last night
on the way home from Sue Gains
house he had asked her to marry
him, and before she had time to
say Yes" he had taken her in
his arms and slipped the ring over
her finger.
Looking back upon 1t now, it
seemed to Lily that he had been
too sure Of her. Too sure that
she would say Yes and fall into
his arms. Too sure that she
wanted him and all the things
that he could give her.

thought, her eyes on the gray,

money gave him. And yet
What Is it want?" Lily asked
herself. There's nothing that he
can't give me-"
without realizing it, that was
the way she always summed up
people - from the viewpoint of
what they had to offer her. What
could this one give her? What
could that one give her? And
she liked or disliked them &C
cordingly.
For instance: she liked Sue Cain
better than any of the rest Of her
girl friends because Sue had the
largest house and car of her
own. Because she gave more par
ties than anyone else, and be-
cause she knew more men.
