Thanks" said Brenda. Men
are funny. though. They get ideas
about women who go in for ca
reers or get fairly good salaries.
Most men are afraid OF women
like that, feel a hesitancy about
asking them to marry them. You
know-the wife making a salary
as large as the husband"
But you could stop working
after you marry. Then the man
wouldn't feel uncomfortable. You
could just keep up your writing.
and let the job 60"
Yes. / could" agreed Brenda.
Then she laughed and said, All
that's lacking now is the man."
Surely there must be plenty Of
men in New York who want 10
marry you" said Susan. "A girl
with your looks ought to have her
pick OF them"
ALAS, Susan, my sweet, New
York is full OF feminine glamor
and men know they can have
their pick"
They went upstairs to the room
in which Brenda's Grandmother
Leigh had spent so much OF her
time. They stooC in the center.
after raising the shades, and looked
about them.
II can almost see Grandmother
sitting there in the little sewing
rocker" said Brenda. Remember
how she used to look at US over her
glasses-a twinkle in her eyes ?"
Yes" said Susan. II remember
also how used to envy your hav-
ing her for a grandmother. never
saw either Of mine, because they
died before was BORN
Brenda walked over to the old
fashioned bureau and stood looking
at tinted photograph in a carved
oval frame.
That's the way you should wear
your hair!" she said suddenly.
Susan joined her. Like Grand
mother Leigh has hers in that pic
ture % she asked.
Yes. Coiled and piled high on
your head" Brenda turned and
studied Susan for a moment. "Sit
down here and let me see what I
can do"
Susan did so, and Brenda began
experimenting.
There" she said, when Susan's
wheat-colored hair was arranged
in the manner in which Grandmoth-
er Leigh had worn hers. You look
lovelyw
Susan peered at her reflection
and was pleased. ut certainly
changes me, doesn't it?'
And for the better" said Bren-
da. She got out her lipstick and
vanity case, and did more things
to Sussn's lips and cheeks. She
even touched the eyebrows a bit
with her pencil. This done, she sud-
denly took the jade earrings from
her own ears and placed them in
Susan's. 1--WE never seen a more
alluring femalel" she exclaimed,
standing back to admire.
Susan was speechless as she took
another look at her reflection. She
just sat there staring. Then. after
several attempts. she found her
voice.
II do look a little like Helen
Hayes. don't I? she said.

DO you suppose Bill would like

He'd be crazy il he didn't

Susan, her eyes shining. I'm go

Anyway. he's always suggesting
that I call Adam. almost throwing
us at each other"
"Of course" said Brenda. "And
since Adam likes your cooking and
never thinks Or you as an alluring
female, the two Of you just go
along, safe ana secure and a little
dull"
Susan was again silent. She just
sat, limp and unhappy, and
watched Brenda park the car near
a wide. leaf-strewn porch.
Il loathe women who are delib-
erately alluring." she said present
ly. They're so obvious"
And yet" said Brenda, smiling,
men go for them" She stopped
the car and raced Susan. Why not
have a try at II. anyway"
AT what-bAing alluring? ?"
Yes"
But I'm not the type. Brenda"
Don't be silly" said Brenda.
I'm take you ia hand tomorrow
not a day later and see what can
be done"
you mean you're goins-to
make me over?"
Something like that, yes. You
need just the right shade of lip
stick. something done to your
hair-and some Of those soft, dainty
orsandie things you used TO wear.
Remember ,"
Yes, but"
bill adored you because you
were dainty and feminine and cool
and desirable. You've got to be
that way again
That was when I was 16." said
Susan. I'm 80 now. and that
makes a big difference.
Listen. Susan Potter" said
Brenda. IAN artist has said that
the thirties are the years when a
woman is at her best. She jumped
out OF the car. Now let's forget
all about that. darling, and cook
our meal. I'm starved"
I'm hungry. too" said Susan.
Something in the autumn air does
things to appetites."
Right! And for the rest OF the
day you and are going to be kids
again"
Susan followed Brenda TO the
front door-stood while she I'M
locked it, She was experiencing a
strange conglomeration OF emo
tons. Some were oddly exciting. as
though she faced something big
and thrilling and some were
strangely fear-filled, as though she
faced a crisis in her life and might
not pull through.
The fun Of cooking the meal out
in the ancient kitchen, with its
huge fireplace and great wood
burning cookstove, and then eating
the meal lifted Susan's spirits. She
hustled about happily. thoroughly
and completely at home. And Bren-
da, watching her, marveled at how
quickly a culinary atmosphere
made Susan forget all her worries
about Bill and Alicia.
When the dishes were all done,
they went over the house.
II wish it wern't so big" said
Brenda. I'D really love to live out
here part Of each year, but it big
ness scares me. I'd feel lost"
you could close up part OF It"
said Susan. Live in the lower part,
turning that smaller parlor into a
bedroom, you know, putting a
bathroom downstairs"
Not a bad idea. Only I don't
want to spend too much money"
Susan eyed her. You could
bring your husband out here with
you. Men like big houses and hav-
ing room to do gardening, and
things like that"
But I haven't any husband
said Brenda
Il know, but you will one OF these
days. You can't stay single forever
