"I rather liked It," Kay confessed.
Sally looked at her thoughtfully.
"Any drunkards in your family?" she

Kay read in a curious calm, almost

that she would be wild about him;

word Of explanation to their hostess;

cloud. She forgot it for weeks on

her widening activities, Of her oc-
casional contacts with Chick Rantoul
and others; but always it was likely
to return to perturb her. Once when
she was with Chick, he had been dis
cussing an advertising campaign
which at the moment engrossed him.

the subject; and Kay made q sug-
