CHAPTER FIFTEEN

ELEANOR CLOSED her eyes
and breathed deeply of the per-
fumed water that surrounded her.
She lowered herself deeper in the
tub in Kit Cranston's mauve and
silver bathroom and gave herself
up to the physical pleasure of
warm water.
A maid knocked at the door and
said: "Your breakfast tray will be
up in ten minutes, Mrs. Parrish"
Eleanor said: '"Thank you, Anna.
I'll be ready. Is Mrs. Cranston hav-
ing breakfast with me?"
"No ma'am. She's in the garden
with the baby"
Eleanor dried herself with a
warmed towel and slipped into a
negligee. Then she sat down at
the dressing table in the guest
room of Kits house and brushed
her hair thoughtfully, prolonging
the enjoyment of every moment.
The sunshine poured through
wide windows curtained with white
ruffled dimity. It splashed pools of
gold on the beige rug and sparkled
on the mirrors and cleaning furni-
ture.
Eleanor arranged herself on the
chaise lounge as the maid came in
with tray. She lifted the covers
and shifted the delicious aroma of
bacon curls and toasted rolls. She
ate hungrily and opened the folded
newspaper. But her eyes drifted to
the view from the window and
touched on the wide, blue sky, the
fresh green of Mays budding trees,
the early flowers in the garden.
Kits laughing voice drifted up
to her and, with an attuned ear,
she thought she heard her baby's
voice.
Suddenly she was impatient with
her own laziness. She was lonely
for the baby that she had not seen
since she tucked her away. the
night before in the empty nursery
She. dressed quickly without
thinking, for the first time since
she had come to Kits house week
before, Of the shabbiness of hel
last years knitted sports suit.
Kit was dangling dilapidateC
teddy bear over the side of the
baby pen where Jessica, roundel
than she had been when Kit hac
brought them up to her place g
week before, made valiant effort
to stand UP.
Eleanor stood beside the pen. She
said: Am I being merely a fono

mother or does my daughter look
better than when she came up
here ?"
"Betterw Kit said, leaning down
to kiss the back Of the baby's neck
where tendrils of corn silk curled.
"She's turned into beauty"
Jessica, with wide dark eyes
picked out Of her fathers face,
looked at her mother solemnly.
"She's not bad" Eleanor muir
INJURED.
Jessica was turning into a beau
ty, fragile, doll-like creature at
eight months with dark eyes and
pale, gold hair and a solemn little
face.
Kit said, I'm in love with her.
Joe and would love to have you
stay here as long as you can,
Eleanor. We think the country has
done her lot Of good. {.
Whoops! Little girls shouldn't try
to eat grasshoppers." She removed
one from the active fingers.
Eleanor laughed a little. IT

beginning to think there is some
thing in it."
Kit sat back on her heels and
gaZed at her guest with an incred-
ulous expression. Eleanor Par
IRISH, do you mean to tell me that
you preferred to live in that walk
up?"
Eleanor nodded. "It's been a hold
on city life, in a way. Also, I had
been expecting to go back to my
job, but it looks now as if it were
really out"
Kit allowed her curls to be
clutched in small fingers and looked
up at Eleanor from a rather unusu-
al position saying, "Job? There
isn't any better job than this one
I was just cut out to be a mother
or a nurse maid. I simply can't see
any other point Of view. What
would you want a job for?"
"For all of us. don't want Jes
sica to grow up without advan
tages. Also, I'd like a few for my
self. I'd like home like this ant

"You and Phil both are young
Phil will get somewhere, some
1 day."
Eleanor looked away silently

Eleanor looked at her sharply

tip-toed out.
Eleanor had uncorked the wine.
Celebration ?" she asked quietly.
"Why not?
"Phil-did you know Kate can't
take me back now?" Her voice was
quite ordinary, devoid of any un-
usual expression.
He nodded.
"In three or four MONTHS" she
said.
Don't you care, Nell?"
She said slowly: "Of course
care. But I'm not going to let it
get me down. If Kate can't take me
back then, I'll get something else.
I suppose you're going to say that
I'm still surprising you because I'm
not in the dumps"
He shook his head.

what every other woman does. I'm

the red wine into glasses. "I've got

mo, honey, no raise. They're

Eleanor's eyes widened with sur
prise.
"Out to the country" he contin-
ued eagerly. well, not the country
exactly, but Long Island. Some
place where you could fuss around
house. A real house with clean
walls and floors and lots Of win
dows."
His wife put her fork down and
waited.
II know you're wonderful about
taking Jessica out every day, but
those three flights Of stairs are too
much for you, honey. If we were
out in the country-on Long Island
you could put her out in her
buggy and let her lie in the sun all

There was something in her face
that stopped the eager flow of his
words.
He began again. "You don't like

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

PHIL PARRISH came out of the
subway kiosk and consulted the list
in his hand. He had already pur-
chased three of the four items that
comprised the list. The tiny rec
rattle reposed in his pocket. The
bottle of chianti was tenderly
clutched under his arm and the sin
gle bright poinsetta in clumsy
pot occupied his other arm.
There was yet the matter of the
kitten. The kitten was an inspira-
ton. And there was a litter of
furry, animate kittens at the
butcher shop.
He had decided on the kitten aft
er Kate told him of her visit that
morning.
A fellow could find an easy ap-
proach with a kitten. He could say,
'Now that our family is getting so
large, we'd better get proper &C.
commodations for them. A baby
and a kitten need a lot of room to
play in. A house." Then, very cas-
ually: II happened to hear about a
little place today out on Long
Island that 1 think would be about
right. A whole house, Nell! A
nursery for the baby and a fire.
place for the cat to sleep by. A
real kitchen and park. You could
have a garden. And when get
the book done we could get a car
and You and Jessica could come to
meet me every night. That's the
real life for family man."
Suburban life!" He could al
most hear Nell say it.
He decided against the kitten I'M
til he had talked to Eleanor.
Poor kid! Hates news would
have been bad news to her. He
should have come home earlier, but
the staff had been sliced and he was
sticking pretty close to the job.
Anyway, the chianti and the flower
would cheer her up.
BY the time he had climbed the
last fight of stairs and stood at
their door, his heart was aching
for her. Already, though he could
not see 1t, her white, strained face,
sick with disappointment, made
him ache with sympathy.
He opened the door.
The scent of something succulent
cooking struck him pleasantly.
These days he was having a sand
Wich and a glass of milk for lunch
and the thought of a good dinner
drove his sympathy out of mind.
Quickly it returned when he did
not see Eleanor in the living room.
di!' he said experimentally.
Hello, darlingw Eleanor, with a
smile, came out of the bedroom
with a freshened baby in her arms.
would you care to see our debu-
tante? She's just leaving for a big
party and we thought you'd like to
look over her little fannelette eve
ming dress"
Relief was almost a lump in his
throat. He kissed her, thinking
her a great little soldier, and took
the fragrant baby out Of her arms.
She said: you can have her for
ten minutes and then tuck her
away. Dinner'll be ready very
shortly. I'll have look at it."
After he'd put the baby in her
crib and told her all the news he
thought, she'd like to hear, he
pulled her little blanket under her
chin and said: Lucky chap who
takes you to dreamland tonight.
You tell him your old man is jeal-
Gus. I'll bet you'll be the prettiest
girl there.
He thought he saw the baby

Nova Hamilton of Baltimore,
