A@A-NN-@@~S saw d vision of herself sitting at Larry's side while he read her architectural reports. It was a lovely vision. A wistful vision.
 T do not" Jennifer continued. T think 1t is cute to find someone you like, someone who has the same idea of fun you have and take your chance. Also, l think just getting into car and going off somewhere to be married and coming back and telling everyone is fun. It's adventurous"
 "Jennifer BrettI It's twenty of ninel You'll have to catch a cab Here's your purse. Darling, I'm going shopping this afternoon and [ won't be home much before five. What time are you com ing?"
 q never make plans for Sat- urday afternoon" Jennifer called back over her shoulder, "but don't worry about me-"
 Miss Brett, you're just the type but you're so restlessl" Ann Cocker ell squinted her eyes, rubbed her hands on her smock and picked up her charcoal pencil. Nevertheless, you're a lamb, Daphne, to help me out on your one afternoon of. Just hold it minute until I fix up the shoulder line and I'll let you off,"
 Daphne sat motionless on the dais in silence that was unbroken for another 10 minutes.
 "There, now, think that will do. Come and tell me what you think of It."
 Daphne relaxed and stretched her cramped muscles. Then she stepped of the dais and walked over to the drawing-board.
 Its grand" she said. What time is 1t? I ought to go."
 "Your date isn't until seven and 1t isn't five yet, so sit down and stop looking like Cornell in one of her tragic moments. Any one would think you were about to make mess of your life. Stop dramatizing yourself"
 Please, Anne! Am I really doing that2" Daphne asked sur- prised.
 "Of course you are," Ann past ed tissue cover over her draw ing. It's not like you to do that and I think you ought to snap out of it. Get 8 new focus on the situ- ation. I admit that you are right but that doesn't make it hopeless or give you any right to feel like a queen of tragedy"
 Maybe you're right. Neverthe- less can't help feeling |. dram atic. Isn't it dramatic to have to say No to the man you love when you can't tell him your reason?" But you're not going to say No You're going to tell him that you do love him, that you do want to marry him but you be- lieve that you should both wait a little longer. Tell him you think it is only fair to him, that you can't leave your job at once, that you know he has work which should = oh for goodness sake darling you'll know what to say"
 That's just it, I don'tl It would be lying. It would be string ing him along and Larry is too fine to get that kind of treatment" Anne sat down abruptly, giving Daphne a hopeless glance. "Then, since he is SO fine and since you feel that he is part of you why not let him share your trouble? Why not come out flatly and tell him that the reason you won't marry him is be- cause you feel that you've got to take care of Jennifer. that you won't marry him until you have sum of money in the bank to take care of her independence of his help?"
 T wouldn't do that to him for anything in the world"
 "No, you wouldn't. Well, then, why not do something about Jenni- fer?"
 "What can I do about her?" Daphne said wearily.
 Anne didn't know any answer to that one.
 "I've done everything I know of. She's earning a good salary now but I don't know how long it will last. She's only IS you know and I can't expect much from her but if had couple of thou sand dollars to hang onto until she finds the thing she wants to do or marries some nice boy, I could tell Larry that we could be engaged. But where can get $2,000?"
