| they couldn't have made it. -
Judy parked her car In the
doorway. Diane was standing, the
baby in her arms. Her dark eyes
danced. her ivory skin glowed.
Darling" said Judy: ''You. look
wonderful" IT,"
Never felt better in my life" ."
Judy remembered the pale, wan
countenance on the hospital Pill
low and said, There was a time
when | doubted you'd ever be the
same" She reeked into the open
ing at the top fthe little bundle
of blankets. "Oh, Diane, isn't he
little" = 4 =.
''What'd you expect?"
But he's so sweet! Oh, oh,
look, he's smiling at me-.
Hes merely we'll fed, and
smiles because his tumlny feels
good. l keep telling Bill that, but
he doesn't believe me-" -.
She put the baby in its crib,
pointing to the stuffed elephant
on the dresser. "Bill, the fool,
thinks that's just right fer our
child. At the age of one,' he will
probably present him with Navy
bomber" ~ g..
After Diane had told her all
about how marveiously Bill was
taking her absorption in the baby,
even washes diapers when he
gets a minutew she asked about
Judy.
"You, my dear, look peaked"
Slightly" Judy admitted.
Whats the matter?"
Nothing"
Listen, my GIRL you're among
friends"
But the words stuck in Judy's
throat. She couldn't tell her.

wonderful baby. : \

"They won't, I guess" Judy
said. "Flycrs stay put pretty

+ YES" said Diane, a shadow
across her face. "And then | can
SIT home and wonder what's hap
pening out there. -
1t was Judy's turn to be tactful,
"How about that Guman salad?"
The baby cried. Judy said, oh
let ne hold him. On, goodness
he's so little. Here. take him. I'm
afraid he'll break" =
Diane lifted him casually anc
cxrertly from her arms. Just 9
