me look at YOU"
Eleanor felt her cheeks burning,
and pulled in her feet in her bed

only knows what. Let me get some

Eleanor gritted her teeth. She
wished people would stop treating
her like an invalid. "Cigaret 2" she
inquired, ignoring Kits offer. Its
frightfully hot here, isn't it?"

Shade /. .. and peace and
heavenly quiet all night. One whole
night not to have listen to the boat
whistles or the trolley or the radios
that made the night hideous. How
she would love it. But she was
working against time, trying to get
her columns ahead for the two
months when she would be away
from the Office. She said: That's
sweet of you. But I am quite COM
Portable here, Kit. I don't like to
leave my own place."
Il suppose you don't-now. Have
you got lots of pretty little things

won't come with me, I'd better be
running alone. I'll drop in again
soon, if may. You'd better lie
down and rest now, Eleanor. You

Eleanor stood at the door with
her for a moment. Il wish | felt

something old-fashioned and vapor-
ish if only to please Phil. I've
got him trained at last not to walk
on tiptoes."
"Why spoil his fun ?" Kit asked.
would you like to have glasses
of milk thrust at you and pillows
tucked back of you when you don't
want either?"
II don't KNOW" the other girl
said thoughtfully, "but I think I
would. Most women do, you know"
Most women are full of sickly,
sticky sentimentality and refuse to
accept this for what it is a
mere, natural, biological function

Alta girl" Kit approved. "Nev-
ertheless, advise little rest this
afternoon. You look, as my mother
would say, sort Of tuckered out"
I'm going to write three more
columns, eat hearty dinner, and
make Phil take me to the movies
tonight"
But Eleanor did not go to the
movies that night.
Her baby was born at ten min
utes after midnight at the Wom-
ans hospital, with a minimum Of
effort.
When Eleanor awoke at eleven
the next morning and demanded
her breakfast, Phil sat across the
room, stu unable to speak.
The nurse said: mot until you've
seen your daughter"
A few minutes later Eleanor
looked down into the dark rather
dim eyes of her little daughter. The
baby's wizened, pallid face looked
like nothing human.

and put an awkward finger into the
thin. grayish hand of the baby.
''She is not! She's homely lit
tie thing" Eleanor said to her
shocked husband. Then her eyes
misted and her voice turned tender.
But all homely babies grow up to
be beautiful. She's going to be
breathlessly lovely and have a dis
position like her father. She's going
to have dark curls and flashing
eyes and marry the Prince Of
Wales"
Phil felt his heart close to break
ing because Eleanor was so beauti-
full looking down into the baby's
face.
He thought: That's all she need

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

WHEN THE door to her office
opened hesitantly, Kate Douglas
froWned. When she saw that it was
Phil Parrish who stood there, she
smiled quickly and said, "Come in,
Phil. Sit down and I'll be with you
as soon as finish this item"
She tapped on the keys of her
typewriter and, finishing the page,
pulled 1t from the machine and
added it to a stout pile of similar
sheets on her desk. She swung
around in her swivel chair and ac-
copied the cigaret he held out to
her.
"Too busy to visit ?" lie asked
Busy" she answered, "but not
too busy. I've been wanting to talk
to you"
He didn't look at her. II guess
you'll be glad to have Nell back"
Kate inhaled deeply and blew the
smoke out in a cloud that obscured
a view of her eyes. She said:
THAT all depends.
WnaC 90 you mean ~
I'm not sure / KNOW how to say
1t, son. Eleanor is a very capable
girl and I do need her, but I'm
wondering well, never mind
hear you have some pictures of
the baby. Got them with you ?"
He grinned. "Sure. When we've
got ten kinds + probably won't
carry 'em around. The novelty
hasn't worn off yet"
Proudly he offered her a fan of
snapshots. '"Taken when she was
just two months old, last Tuesday,
he said.
Kate looked at the little face lost
in a sea of blankets. II think she's
beginning to look like you," she
said, wishing she might have said
the baby looked healthy and dim
pied.
Phil gave her a glance that was
properly incredulous and thorough

nurse who really knows how to
take care of baby that she'll pit
her on a routine"
"a trained nurse? Won't that be
expensive ?"
He made a Xreat TODD Of study
ing the burning paper of his ciga-
ret. "Nells sold me on the idea of
using her salary for the nurse"
"Phil-how do you really feel
about it?"
He shrugged his shoulders. "I'm
old-fashioned, Kate. I think a
mother knows best how to take
care of her own baby, but I'm only
a man and I'm not supposed to
know about those things. Also,
I'm just a guy who's now in love
with two women-Jessica and Nell.
want the baby to have the best
there is-but I also want Nell to
be happy. I guess she knows best"
For a girl as young as she is,
Eleanor has a lot Of sense" Kate
said, making a pencil correction on
her copy. IF she were not to
come back to work, do you think
you could both manage on your
salary and bring up the baby in
that apartment 2"
A copy boy came in and collected
Kate's papers.
When he went out, Phil said:
'Kate, I've got a swell idea. 1
haven't told Nell yet. That's what
came in to talk over with you.
Fifty q week isn't much in New
York, but there are a lot of places
on Long Island where we could get
a little house. Places where there's
lots of sunshine and Nell could be
outdoors with the baby. She saved
money before the baby was born
and most Of it has been spent on
the specialist, but there's a little
left. Enough to move on"
"What about yourself? Rent and
lights and food and gas and rail-
road fare wouldn't leave you much.
And it's quite a trek in to the Of
flee. Wouldn't that be hard on
you?"
ut wouldn't be for long. I'm 60
ing to get to work on the novel
pretty soon. It doesn't matter
about me, Kate"
II can see it DOESN'T" she said
with a smile.
He said, "Nelps coming down to
see you tomorrow morning about
starting to work again."
"And what is it you really want
me to do?" she asked.
Phil caught his underlip in his
teeth. Whatever you think is
right, Kate. You're older than Nell
and you know more about these
things than do. I want her to be
happy. Some women aren't happy
when they're housekeepers. Other
women well, you'll know what
to do"
"Phil, I need Eleanor. And, as
you say, some women should do the
thing they want to do. TIL have to
think about it. have to think of
her as well as you-and the baby.
Tell her not to come down in the
morning. I'll stop by. I want to see
the baby anyway"
His face frightened. "I'll trust
you, Kate. And remember. I want

CHAPTER TWELVE


1T WAS HOT for October. There
was dust in the corners of the
rooms in the walk-up apartment on
Blame street. and the crash cur
tains and the Mexican blanket
looked soiled and heavy. There was
a film on the bronze and brass that
mad been Eleanor Parrish's pride
less than year ago.
She took a long sip Of the iced
tea on the typewriting table before
her and sighed, seeing the dirt
sitting in the rays of the late after
noon sunshine.
She had colored cleaning wom-
an who came in three days a week,
but it was impossible to keep a
place clean when dirt came up
from the floors and sifted in the
windows.
She put a fresh piece of copy
paper in the typewriter-she was
doing her work at the apartment
noW-and wrote:
Mrs. F. G. writes to ask if
brown and orange make an at
tractive color scheme for a small
living room. Orange is too full a
color to live with. It soon be-
comes tiresome. However, a COM
bination of brown and beige with
bright touches or orange -.
She thought of the ice-cold
oranges in the refrigerator and
pushed her chair away from the
typewriter. She got up akwardly,
hating her ungainliness, hating the
desire that forced her to quit her
work to go to the ice box and peel
an orange.
She divided the fruit into Sec
tons and brought it back to the
living room on plate. Phil's big
chair looked inviting and there was
a new copy of her favorite maya
zine that she was dying to read.
But it was close on to thirty
and the boy was coming from the
office for copy at five.
Well, she could read and rest for
three hours when she finished.
Things were slack at the Office and
Phil had been put on late afternoon
hours. He wouldn't be home until
after eight.
She finished the orange and sat
down again at her typewriter. She
answered the problems on interior
decoration and, swallowing her dis
taste, prepared her column called
Culinary Classics"-a column de-
voted to time-honored recipes.
The last 30 had been struck
when her doorbell buzzed. She got
up, feeling her limbs heavy with
fatigue, and pressed the button.
The envelope with copy was in
her hand when Kit Cranston
showed around the bend of the
stairs. Kit was Joe Cranston's wife.
Joe was a successful cartoonist
and he lived, with his bride, in a
heavenly little house in Bronxville.
Kate had taken the Parishes up
to meet them.
Kit was breathless from the
climb, but she looked cool and chic
and slim-in her wide brimmed
hat and dark, sheer frock. She had
an armful of blue and pink flowers
which she held out to Eleanor.
Peace Offering" she said, "be-
cause Kit hasn't been to see you
before. was in Europe, you know.
and when l got back, Dad and
Mother were here. Then l had to
