 She sat down and answered Jacks letter, telling him all about the evening. of her worries and fears and loneliness. She didn't say that she had lost her job and was hunting another. There would be time for them to laugh about that later. She was confident now, while the clock hands touched the first
 hour after midnight, and then the second and third, that everything
 would be all right.

NANCY PAGE A Shower Curtain Screens
 Sun-Bath Terrace
 By Florence Ia Gankc

At the end of a hot summer business day Peter was just plain Tagged out. He had to use every bit of patience he possesd as ne picked up the receiver for the 'steenth call that day.
 Hello, Pete. How would you and Nancy, Joan and Peter Ike to come out to our cabin for the week end? We have just finished the furniture and the curtains are up so Nance and Dorothy will have lots to talk about. But there's $ something else I want to show you It's pippin. You won't want to leave when you see 1t.
 Arthur went on talking but Pcter's mind was already made up. It would do them all good, Nancy particularly. to get out in the open where roughlng 1t was not too strenuous. but where the noise and dirt of the city was gone.
 So he said. well be with you, Art. I'll call my wife to make sure but know l can say yes. for Us all right now. What can we bring out? Ice, melons. !e- mons, candy, magazines or what do you want that you don't have ?' Arthur insisted there was notl- ing. but Peter packed two big melons in his car for all that.
 And Arthur was right. the star attraction was the curtained-in terrace which made 6 marvellous place for sun baths. Pipe had been put up on the terrace and on the pipe was hung a curtain of heavy duck or denim. It shut out any view. but being open to the sky there was all the chance in the world for sun bath. A long reclining chair, n bathing suit and the sun bather was set. Every body exclaimed over the simplicity of 1t.

Sue reached for her pocketbook, opened it, removed Jacks letter, and started to tear the flap. The sight of the familiar scrawl on the envelope seemed to draw her back to her own world and make life right again.
 She put the letter down very carefully.

 She filled the tub with warm wa ter and lay in it a while, relaxing, letting the sordid events of the eve ming slip away. Then she found her best pajamas, cool, dusky pink with inserts of lace, and gay pink mules that matched. Ready at last, she sat down in the big chair again and picked up the letter.
 The letter satisfied every long ing of Sues. Jack hadn't changed. She smiled ruefully as she won dered what had given her the idea that maybe he had. He was com ing to her as quickly as he could. Perhaps he would have to stop lover along the way for a few weeks on the homeward trip. and If he idid, he wondered if she couldn't meet him.

 There was more of it. Jack was Ia darling, Sue told herself. She Dropped her chin in one hand and sat smiling softly for while. She lwould answer any summons ana never ask the reasons. It hurt to be so crazy about anyone. But II would hurt more not to be, she Unused.
