HTHERE, Peggy MacElroy knew you could
do it, said Priscilla Elder to me in the
New York apartment of VicN ingalls,. famous
fashion artist where we were celebrating my
success in a new play.
Vicks apartment was the gathering place
of people who were doing things. Priscilla an
old college friend had taken me there a year
before. Vicld's eX-husband, Ken ingalls, often
dropped in and Duff Richardson portrait

filled with expensive flowers At that time

consulted Vick about my longing to be a per-
son IN my own right, stressng the fact that
loved stephen, my husband, and our three
small children. She suggested asking Cato for
stage part and getting competent nurse
for the children.
She told me something of her own life
how much she loved Duff and that someday
she might marry him. The next day called
on Cato He remembered me and gave me a
splendid part. But when l got home ! found
Sue, our youngest, delirous with see let fever
couldn't even think OF gong on with my
part. SUE recovered and then came the
crash. Things grew darker in those days OF

for a minute admirng the expertness Of her
fingers and the bright smart figure that
emerged Then l went TO join the various
people who were talking There were some
new faces but the talk was still exciting and
refrcshingly non-domestic.
A young economist was explaining about
democracy and social worker was telling
about the psyche pathological results of I'M
employment. There was also some woman
there very ieweed who was talking of the
new poor and how she had economical by
making slip covers for the furniture in her
music room out of draperes
There was talk about Hitler and predc-
tons that the German people would soon come
to their senses, and people were laughing at
his race theories. There was talk about the
possibilities of repeal - beer was legal and
Vcki had some of the new large amusing
mugs There was talk about the Brain Trust
and also about plays, and books and music
and of course, painting.

inward dismay at the prosiness and detail of
my own existence. But it didn't hurt me quite

The crowd dispersed the model went home
and Vch and l were left alone. She sent out

for our dinner and while we waiting, she
said, There now, we can talk, how are you,
what has happened TO you, how are your ba-

yours"
First" I said tell me about you"
She sighed Just you me. Nothing's
changed Wasn't it awful during the bank
holiday"
Il don't know stephen and I felt rather
gay about il. Somehow when all the banks
closed knew nothing worse could happen
we had touched bottom, and the only place
20 go now was up We had eight dollars in
cash, and Stephen went out and bought me a
garnet pin and decided we ought to have
another child just because-we don't know
it was as if an added responsibility was the
only way we had Of singing who's Afraid
of the Big Bad Wolf"
