Josephine walked to the mirror over her

her so spellbound that she couldn't utter

appeared to be bruised and her hair was
every -which-way. The thought flashed through
her mind that it was no wonder Walter hadn't
kissed her. This was so shocking that she
went straight to the telephone and made an
appointment with her masseuse and hair

her in his arms He walked heavily across
the room with her, then paused uncertainty

Walter would kiss her. And something told
her in that shocking instant that Walter

silver, coagulated in an anxious little lump
when Walter, instead of kissing her, strobe

when water splashed down on her face like
blow.

know, is where am ~" Walter said sarcastic

Josephine hadn't been in New Hat Mood
for many months and this very feminine state
excited her. No longer was she merely the
efficient source of clever dialogue She was
woman, with vengeful need to look tenderly
beautiful.
All through that hectic afternoon she was
seized with telephonitis. another typically
feminine ailment During the tedious stages
of her permanent wave she rounded up a
number of acquaintance to meet her at
Antonio's for cocktails at five-thirty.

voice died as her eyes made wild survey of

This sort of logic was enough to throw

of biting Walters leg but she only nipped
him, as most of what she took between her
teeth turned out to be Harris tweed.
"She loves me-" Walter shouted.
LET me go! Let me go!"
He grasped her hair to yank her back into
position and Josephine gave heart-rending
screech and collapsed over his knees like
broken doll. She had horrid little sense of
triumph as she felt Walter gazing down on

her to her feet. Her primary
reaction was one of incredul-

hammered gentleman if there
ever was one. Her eyes were
fascinated by a little vein
standing out on his forehead.
Josephine counted on her
poise and sense of humor to
save the situation, but she
unfortunately did what most
of the unbridled folk did in
her movies. She said the
wrong thing: Don't be a
