 MT. Smith? I told him I had a job, that was all. Why?"
 "Oh, I just thought since you two had a cozy tea, you might have gone just litle way into the histories of your lives. Par ticularly since you seem to have found him interesting"
 "NonesenSe, Anne" Swift color flooded Daphne's smooth cheeks. He's married and you know how I feel about married men,"
 What's his wife like?" Anne asked casually.
 T don't know. I've never seen her. haven't seen him either since the day he engaged the place. He sends his check the first of every month. Anne, at first he used to write litle amusing notes about the place, but I didn't answer them be- cause of his wife. Now he doesn't"
 Maybe he's got twin," Anne preferred genially.
 If he hasn't, it will be all the same to me. Why are you always trying to find a romance for me? Don't you know that I can't afford any such luxury while I have to see Jennifer through? This year, I want her to specialize in some course to prepare her for work. Did I tell you she's coming to me Saturday,"
 Nov, isn't that nice2" Anne didn't sound very enthusiastic. Whats the matter with helping her to get job and helping yopr- self?" re
 "Oh, she's only 18 and want her to have a chance for some thing worth while. I have grand plans. I thought, when we decide what she's going to do, we could sublease my apartment and move back to the hall. We could com- mute and it would save money. I wouldn't mind and I know Jenni- fer will prefer the country. She's so unsophisticated."
 Anne toyed with her fork for a moment and said, "Daph, if I were you I'd drop the mother complex and consider myself for a while."
 Daphne pushed back her chair and rose. I'm late, darling. I've got lot of work to do because to- morrow I'm taking the day off to rearrange the apartment. Come by

late in the afternoon and I'll give you tea"
 When the doorbell buzzed at three the next afternoon, Daphne re- moved a tack from her mouth and from her perilous pech on table top, called over her shoulder, INC matter who it is, Maggie, I'm not at home to anybody"
 She gave a last inexpert blow at the defenseless tack, bent it and hung her print with complete disregard for it's safety.
 Pardon me, lady. Would you be interested in some homemade fudge or old spare tires? I'm sell ing these and also :"
 ". also charm," she finished for him as she descended gingerly to the floor. How'd you get past my faithful jewel, Tuck? I told her I wasn't home to anyone"
 I'm not anyone, Beautiful. The name is Air1sley, don't you re- member?"
 How could I forget when you've been under my feet for the past three years?"
 "At your feet,' he corrected.
 She looked at him speculatively, noticing his usual impeccable turnout. Then she slid forward comfortably in the chair that out lined her lissome figure and a pretty smile dawned at the corners of her mouth. It was a sweet mouth.
 Tuck liked it. He liked every- thing about Daphne. The dark gray eyes, the dark wing-like brows accenting the white transparency of her forehead, and the blue black softness of her wavy hair. He studied her smile doubtfully and said he suspected it would be grin if another girl did it.
 Tt is, she said gleefully, "be- cause you're going to woGlk for 9 change. You're going to help us move furniture. Jennifer arrives tomorrow and there's work to be done."

 "Ah, Jennifer, the baby!" Tuck's eyes found the photograph on Daphne's desk, the photograph of a young girl with the face of an an gel framed by blond hair ending in pigtail swung over her shoulder.
 Does she still look like ;that?' he asked.
 T guess she does" Daphne an- swered and appealed to him, but, Tuck, you know she's only 18 and she's not your type. Remember that, please. Your crowd my crowds pretty sophisticated and I don't want Jennifer running around with them" What brought this on?" he in- quired lazily. You're the girl I'm interested in. I don't want any girl but you"
 Daphne and two complete zeig- field Follies choruses," she replied and added, when the buzzer sound- ed again, That will be Anne"
 It wasn't; it was Jennifer.
 Not the Jennifer of the pigtail! This was young sophisticate with golden hair. Jennifer four inches

I had to come a day early because I'm going to a party tonight and had to get in in time to dig up man. Also, I forgot to pay the taximan."
 'T'll do it." said Daphne to Tuck after she had introduced them, and went to pay Jennifer's driver.
 When she came back, she found Jennifer stretched out gracefully on her lounge.
 Gan we have a cocktail right away, Daph? I'm dying of thirst but my troubles are over for to- night. MT. Ainsley is going to the party with me. I think he's sweet"

Anne Cockerell was 8 successful young commercial artist and her friendship with Daphne had begun in. the Johnstone Advertising Agency When Daphne was a lesser member of the copy staff.
 "You order ana TT; talk, Anne. "
 Anne ordered their usual lunch. '.Now talkl"
 I've been promotedl I'm full fedged copy writer now with two accounts of my own to handle ex- ciusively, an office of my own with my name on the door and fifty more month. Not bad?"
 'Bad?" It's colossal! From rags to riches, or, from steographer to career woman in five short years. Tell me, did you always dream that some day you'd be successful ad- vertising writer?"
 "On the contrary" Daphne de- nied. Do you know, Anne, I once wanted to be an actress? People are always surprised when I tell them that. I used to be fair at dra- matics when I was in college and I meant to go into the theater when I finished but" she sighed almost imperceptibly you know Jennifer had to be taken care of and Dad"
 Anne knew all about that; knew that at 19 Daphne had left college to come to New York to support herself. She had done it so that the small sum Tom Brett had left to his motherless daughters might be used to send the then 13-year- old Jennifer to good school.
 It had been five years since Tom Brett, hunting on his grounds in Connecticut, tripped over his gun and, dying, charged Daphne with the care of the flaxon-haired Jenni- fer. Daphne had done it well. Now Jenifer was finished at Miss Maid stones.
 From stenographer to career woman, Anne had said. Daphne thought of those first few months in the general office at Johnstone, then the transfer to a secretarial job where she had learned to write copy.
 Anne, she said, "if can do this in five years, I've a wonder ful future. I'm going to work hard and some day :"
 Some day you'll have a fat bank account and wake up being an old maid," Anne finished tartly. T wouldn't let this career angle
