"There aren't any places to live,
Andrea. Girls are pouring into
Washington all the time"
II can live with you until I get
something" Andrea said in a small
voice, looking at Beth from under
her lashes. Cant II"
And share my three-quarter
bed ?"
We've done 1t before" Andrea
murmured.
But you'd have to have a Job.
You have to get jobs through civil
service. Andy. That may take
months. What would you live on ?"
You have some money. Couldn't
you lend me a little-if I needed
it?" She caught her lower lip be-
tween her teeth. But I may not
need it," she added hastily. Il . i
have little. Some you don't know
about"
She got up before the question
trembling on Beth's lips could fall,
and said, Il called up Harry Cole
this afternoon and said l might be
staying over. He's taking me out
to dinner. If you'll let me have
your key, won't have to wake
anyone UP when I come in"
- Beth got up. There was fire In
her eye. Just minute, my lamb.
This intended move on your part
involves a lot of people. Peg Wood
ruff, for instance. You can't lust
write her to send your clothes and
leave her with that apartment on
her hands.
Andrea sighed. "Oh, Beth. what
kind of girl do you think I am
I've been looking around for weeks
for somebody to move in with Peg.
and there's a girl who'll be tickled
to death to move in tonight. I've al

Beth thought, "Everybody's been
considered but me-" She said. And
about Harry Cole? You don't give
a fig for him, but you'll let him
spend his money on you, and he
hasn't much. He spent an awful lot
on Saturday, and then again yes.

Hes very useful, darling" An

Besides, he likes it. Men pay to

they are, and nobody's ever fat

Of yourself"
Come on, Beth, have to change

later. Also stop worrying about
Mr.. Cole. I'll meet other men and,
hereafter, Ill take care that they
will have enough money so you
won't have to worry about my
bankrupting them"
Beth found herself suffering
like an angry hen, and was genu-
inely angry with herself and with
Andrea. Lecturing Andrea had al

years, and now she was doing Il

Beth threw a towel at her.
"As long as you do it, it's okay,
but let bad girl Andrea find herself

Andrea went of, wearing her
buff suit and Beth's brown and
orange jersey turban, Beth's beige
gloves and carrying Beth's brown
bag.
Beth tried to knit that night, but
she found herself adding stitches
where no stitches should be added,
and so she clicked of the radio and
the light beside her bed and lay far
into the night, thinking.
She thought Of Dennis Archer
and wondered why Andrea had not
mentioned him. And she thought Of
Jim and wondered why Andrea did
not think 1t strange that she, who
had been his best friend for three
years, seemed so uninterested In
him that she never asked questions
about him.
On the verge Of sleep, she was
awakened by the realization that
Andrea's presence In Washington
would mean that Jim would be
there, too. Perhaps he'd come every
weekend.
II Andrea were In Washington.
Beth found herself saying a little
prayer that Andrea would not be.
With the prayer was forlorn hope.
More and more Offices and bureas
were being established daily. Any
girl who could hold a pencil could
get job. She hadn't been entirely
honest when she told Andrea such

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

YOU'VE DECIDED to stay in
Washington ?" Beth couldn't keep
the dismay out of her voice. Love
Andrea as IL she were bone of her
bone, Beth might, but want her in
Washington she did not.
Disma.' made her thoughts any
thing but clear, but unconsciously
she knew that Andreas permanent
appearance would upset all that she
was striving for. She never thought
. of those little services, that combi-
nation mother and personal maid
she would have to be, as she always
was when Andrea was living with
her; she just thought that peace
would fly out the window.
"Yes. angel" Andrea said COM
fortably. won't that be nice for
both OF us? You said you missed
me, and / know I missed you. so
why should we be apart ?"
Beth let herself drop into a big
chair from which she surveyed An
drea with hopelessness.
Pm touched by this display of
slsterly affection" she said, but
not at all deceived by 1t. Give"
Andrea chuckled. You know
Beth, you're the only person in the
whole world who won't let me pull
the well-known wool over her eyes.
Not but what just said isn't true.
You're a grand person to live with,
and life is not the same with Peg.
She makes me toe the mark, do
my share OF the work, which YOU
never did. but there won't be any
work here"
Beth waited.
"Will there ?" Andrea asked.
Beth said she didn't know what
there would be. In fact, she added,
her imagination was too stunned TO
invent any picture with Andrea in
It; she just hadn't thought of An
drea as being any other place than
Pennington until she married Jim.
"Jimw Andrea lighted on his
name. That's part OF il. Beth"
She leaned forward, speaking earn
estly. Il =. have to be near
Jim now" For a moment Beth
thought she was going to say some
thing more, something important,
but Andrea said. Don't you see?"
Beth shook her head.

come down from Pennington.
