CHAPTER VI
81 don't want tea" Daphne
Brett said TO Anne Csckerell in
the round room at the Ritz, the
last week in October. "If you've
ordered il, you can call the waiter
back and tell him to brew some
thing more stimulating for me.
."You do?" Anne asked, her eyes
taking in the smart details of the
bright scarf and hat Daphne wore
with her usual tweeds. You don't
look in need of any stimulation"
Daphne permitted herself a
speculative, embracing study OF
the occupants Of the room before
she answered. Then she said cryp-
tically:
~ do, very much. need mink
coat, eight diamond bracelets, a
sheaf of orchids and a telephone
call from Clark Gable inviting me |
TO dinner. Then, maybe I'd feel
better" .r..
Anne folded her arms patiently |
and composed herself to wait for |
Daphne TO come out Of it." But
Daphne showed no signs of doing |
so,
= Lets start again, shall WEI"
Anne inquired after extended ST.
lence. Have you come to that |
time in woman's life when she |
thinks all is over? II so, what you |
probably need is sleep"
mo, !, think---I think I'm de-
velopins an inferiority complex"
Daphne eountered. do you, or do |
you not, think one is q social as
set?"
hT do not" Anne answered en-
phatically. "I'm glad you've
brought up the subject. I've known
for the last few weeks there was
something the matter with you |
and it turns out to be complex.
Why, ut this particular time when |
e&erythiug's going dandy"
Daphne, swallowed hard, II
don't know. never felt this way !
Before. Did the feeling ever come |
over you suddenly that you were |
nothing more than a dull lump Of !
clay? That your girlhood was gone
forever and il never had been |
much good anyway? That you felt
as though you were sitting out in |
the middle of a very large island
ell by YOURSELF"
Certainly" Anne said heartily. |
'lt's usually when my latest per-
manent is letting out its last feeble |
gasp. or I've had q cold, or /
haven't had a nice compliment
from a man in long time. Have
you tried analysing the the
thing"
."No, I'm not much given to self
analysis"
Maybe that's what you need. !
Il seems to me there are lots of
things you need. Want to hear
them2" |
Daphne tilted her glass upward
and nodded.
"Well. one thing you need is
new and exciting beau. The old
ones that you have are not
enough"
"Had is the word. Ny beaus
arc all coming around to see Jen-
infer now
vH"Really?" Anne asked. a bit
surprised. "How about Tuck?
Strange rs il seems to all of US,
IL appears that Tuck really has a
heart and he seems to have given
II to YOU" '..-.
al don't take Tuck seriously,
Anne. Maybe that's why he likes
me- I'cant see any other reason.
Pm not. the type you'd expect
THsk would care for, am To-
'iwhy not?f Anne asked, rea-
sonably.
2 Daphne twirled her glass by its
stSnder stem. "0h, I mean that
I'm sort of mouselike and you'd
EXPECT Tuck TO demand the gor-
eeous type. Jennifer is the gor-
geous type"
"Phooey." Anne said. inele-
gantly. you'd be il you wore
different type. of clothes. You
happen, to wear simple things that
don't draw attention to your good
looks. :. Oh. you've got them or,
you wouldn't have dozens of beaus
hanging around all the time. May
Re, on second thought, it might be
q good idea for you to splurge on

really can't afford. It's been
