coat and stood in the tunic blouse
and skirt.
Jan walked around slowly. Then
she went over and touched her hair.

Her eyes were round with wonder.

He went into details of the plot,
and the excitement of the morning,
and when Janell heard he had selected
the clothes she went off into gales of
laughter.

Jan felt sinking feeling of disap-

Gary turned to Jan and slapped
