Sue wanted to buy a dress with Ted's check, a very simple. inex- pensive frock. She was afraid that she might need the money for nec- essities. But Sarah had different ideas.
 Ted said that you are to spend every cent of that check on your self" she insisted. "A dress and slippers and hat. Honey, we're be- ing married! And neither of us thinks that we'll be taking the step again. You can't ever dress up to sec us to this stunt again."
 So Sue yielded to the charm of deep blue tucked chiffon after noon dress with 8 pink suede belt and A blue hat that was big enough to have a brim that dropped a Iit- tie. Sarah insisted on pink gloves that matched the belt and Sue re- membered gratefully that her own dark blue pumps were almost the shade of the dress.
 It's sweet and yet it's smart" Sarah approved. And you'll be supplied with an afternoon dress. You know. Sue" and her voice was little wistful, "I always dreamed that l would wear ivory satin. And now I'm doing it in a beige suit! You'll have to uphold the formal honors when your turn comes. Corrinne didn't even buy a new frock, did she?"
 Back in the room, dressing for the evening. Sarahs animation waxed high one minute, to be fol- lowed by a breath-taking silence the next. Sue, going up and down not hA, roommate had created, didn't have time to wonder if she would get a job. Or what she would do if she didn't. Something would happen, though. Something always did. That thought chased away the spectre that tried to slip in now and then.
 Ted Is getting the ring this morning. oh. forgot. it's afternoon now" She wrinkled her nose. remembering, We haven't eaten! Hurry up and put on a dress. We can go to that crazy basement place and grab some sandwiches and coffee. For an ordeal of any sort, especially n marriage, drink coffee. Ted took along another ring of mine to measure by. didn't have time to go with him"
 Sue smiled at her own reflection in the mirror as Sarah talked. She certainly had no intentoin of go- ing to the place which Sarah had suggested And she didn't intend to tell her about the embarrassment of the night before.
 You get ready. I'll run and buy some stuff" she suggested, planning to go to the nearest drug , store where sandwiches. wrapped in waxed paper, were reserved un- der a glass jar, and coffee could be bought in paper containers.
 Sue sat down on a stool in the drug store to wait for her pack ages. She wished that the waiter would hurry. She wondered why everyone who was ahead of her had to order some sort of whip ped -crea m m-nuts-and n fruit concoc- ton that took long time 10 make.
 Two men, leaning against A coun- | ter just in back of Sue. were talk Ing in low tones. She didn't pay much attention to them at first Then. because there was nothing to prevent her from listening, she lei their words register.
 "They'Ve even sent a lawyer out there to try to find the papers and I've got the things shut up in mS desk at home" one voice said "The deed to the whole thing! Lei them hunt. They'll never find 1t Of course that fool brother of mine thinks he has it. It was supposed to 20 to hmi and then the property | be divided with me. But he hasn't ! it. was too sln1s for him"
 Sue glanced al The man. A care ! less scrutiny that was anything but | careless.
