 | "Again?" Corrinne repeated.
 He's been here once today. But I didn't think he would be back. l have to powder my nose." She grab ebd her puff from the bedroom dressing table and pulled lock or hair lower over her forehead. Cor rinne, even in her own unhappiness, noticed the deeper color in Sarah's cheeks.
 Don't get crazy over anyone, ever, Sarah. It just hurts you. Don't ever 1 believe anyone!"
 1 "Why Corrine ...." Sarah be- gan, when there was a knock on the outer door.

 Come on out, Corrinne,' Sarah called.
 "What did Ted want?" Corrinne asked. T know it isn't any of my business but. ...'
 "Yes it is. He wants comfort be- cause Joan has left him fiat. Doesn't want to be involved in scandal or something he thinks. But it isn't that at all. Joan used to love boy who haf hn' hand again. Ted's out, that's all. But he desen't know and 1t hurts him worse to think the publicity caused it.If he can think she would react this way now, he can console him. self by believing that she always would have been that way.

 Because he thought I was sisterly and comforting. that't all. And men want something of moon-magic and prarie fire and lightning flame in the girls whom they love romanti- cally. The very fact that he came. !. spells it. Unless. I can make him think I'm illusive instead of. .. .un- derstanding. Oh, I don't know! But Corrinne. Start at the beginning and tell everything. It helps."
 Corrinne talked steadily, emitting nothing. If she was to be helped she had to give her confidence. When she finished Sarah reached up from her stool by the fireplace and caught her hand.
 "You can't go back to him. Cor rinne. He has to come to you. And you can't go home. You'll stay with me. won't you? And meantime let's I put a detective on the case" NExT-Sarah Slade is sympa- ] thctic.
