NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER VII
Larry Smith wasn't married. He
lived at Brett Hallwith his mother
and his aunt.
Daphne said. Lets have frogs
legs for dinner and something gala
for a sweet
Not for me. Ny figure means
too much" Jennifcr answered
promptly and stretched her 1.-the
form full-length on the lounge.
"Why the sudden Celebration
Daphne couldn't tell her that
she was suddenly light and gay
inside her-lighter and gayer than
she had been these last two
months. She couldn't say that it
made her happy to know that
Larry Smith wasn't married. She
took her happiness into the kitchen
and ratified her pans and plates
noisly. She knew that would keep
Jennifer out Of the kitchen and
she wanted 70 be alone to think.
She wanted TO think of her own
stupidity and to SAVIOR the knowl-
edge that he had dropped in to
pay her, Daphne, n call.
He must have, she reasoned, be-
cause he didn't know Jennifer.
But now he had seen Jennifer.
For a brief moment the thought
Of Jennifer's overwhelming beauty
depressed her. Then she set her
mouth in the determined line she
sometimes found there when she
had a difficulty problem at the
agency TO overcome.
Let Jennifer take what was hers

Not that she was in love with
Larry smith
She dismissed the thought in
stantly as being ridiculous. And
admitted that he was the first man
in her life that she had wanted to
know, wanted TO make her friend.
The first man 10 whom she had
been instantly attracted. The first
man she had ever known so brief
ly and never been able to forget.
Even Anne had sensed that.
She thought of Tuck Ainsley
and a small frown puckered her
smooth forehead. Could it be pos
sible that she had had her mo-
ments when she thought of taking
Tuck seriously? Tuck was dear.
He was challenge to her. She'd
introduced him to so many at
tractive girls who had raved about
him yet he VISA devoted to her
as devoted as he could be. And
he had asked her to marry him.
well" she said to the salad she
was mixing, IF someone like Lar
~ Smith doesn't come into my
life. I'll probably marry someone
like Tuck some day"
"How was the job today?" she
said TO Jennifcr when they were
seated at the candle-lit table.
Usually she avoided the subject
since Jennifer could be so ex-
plosively unhappy about it. To-
night her sense of well-being
spread to tolerance even of that
unpleaSantncsS.
Lousy" Jennifer said concise
