 Hasn't 1t though? It's a night out not fit for man nor beast. It feels like rain and if we have rain over these frozen ruts it will not be any fun getting around New ] York"
 Speaking of getting around"- Jennifer looked up from the tea she had poured for Daphne Tuck is taking me to party in the Village tonight"
 Daphne had not had her tea, her nerves were jumpy and she was tired. You're not going" she said flatly.
 Come off it, Daphne. Any bodyd think I was an infant in swaddling clothes who couldn't keep her eyes open after 6 o'clock"
 That isn't the point" Daphne went on coldly. "The point is that you've got to get to school in the morning and know that crowd in the Village. don't hap pen to like them. For that mat ter I don't happen to like your going about with Tuck all the time. told you that. His friends are entirely too sophisticated for you. You are not going out with Tuck tonight"
 Anne watched Daphne blow up with some amusement but she didn't say anything until Jenifer had left the room, swinging out airily and with disdainful glance at Daphne. The girls in the liv- ing room heard the shower run- ming in few minutes.
 Alta baby!"
 T didn't really mean it, Anne, but oh, I give up! I'm really annoyed at Tuck. He knows she's only 18 and he has deliberately dis regarded my wishes. I don't want her running with that Village crowd. She's too pretty, to eager, too prone to fall for that line of living our own-lives. She goes out with him and stays late and I worry about her.

 Anne thumbed the pages of fashion magazine. T think Joe Dokus writes drivel and I've busi- ness problems of my own. Also, I think women have too much sense to waste their time on such trivia. Now this Larry Smith mat ter is important. He affects your state of mind. You were all blown up with anticipation because he was going to call you. Then he didn't and you began to get that itch to be near the telephone. You didn't know what was talking about half the time. Then, when you've decided he isn't going to call you, you de- velop grouch that affects all your friends. So isn't that an important matter?"
 Daphne leaned back in her chair and looked at the ceiling. she sigh ed. You women!" she said.
 The telephone rang in the bed- room. "I'll get it." Jennifer called back.
 Its for you, Daph. It's Smith,"
 Daphne bounced out of her chair. Anne couldn't hear what she said but she could hear the purr in her voice.
