at Noel with blazing dark eyes.

went on, restraining her anger with
great effort. Julian doesn't care

not looking up from her salad,

Tell me about it," Julian re-
Taxed and smiled.
At this juncture Noel became
very interested in her lamb chop.
It was her nature to be frank on
all occasions, but she thought the
situation she faced now would
Justify a bit of equivocation. After
all. she didn't intend staying at the
Peacock a minute longer than she
had to.

AFTER JULIAN IldO uISCOVS1CO
Noel as he came out of the Medical
Arts building. they entered the De
Luxe, a place for which Noel was
beginning to have a real respect.
She sat back and let Julian order,
luxuriating in the white-tiled clean
illness of the place. the clatter Of
the spotless dishes and the savory
odors of broiling steaks and good
food.
Now and then she stole a glance
lat Julian's dark face, his clean-cut
profile, and the slight suggestion of
"a dimple in his firm chin. It was
wonderful to be sitting here beside
him in this bright clean place. She
iclosed her eyes on a little dizzying
wave of happiness. Already she
was beginning to understand some
Iof the Joy of simple things. and
was conscious of a new apprecia-
ton and a!ertness of her senses.
Julian finished giving the
waitress the order. Then he looked
lat Noel. a troubled expression on
ihis face. Noel. I've been thinking
Iof you almost every minute since
Eyou convinced me that you actual
lily intended going through with this

"How fiattering!" she said light
lily, beginning to apply herself to

hoping she was not being too bored

on in his gentle admonitory voice,

Couldn't think of it" Noel said
smilingly. as she took sip of what
she was sure was the most deli

She hadn't tasted milk in ages, but

way, had ordered it over her little
protest, and here she was drinking
it. Really, I'm having perfectly

voice a little more boastful than
she had intended it to be.
"All right them" Julian suddenly
capitulated. But / insist on hav-
ing a full and complete report OF

Noel hadn't expected this. She
