also because now she could look at

did not hurt to look at her.
Sandra knew Gordon was ap-

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

I'm SUSY ADAMS" the blond
girl proffered. "Belinda's mother"
Her Standardization was super.
6uous. Sandra knew who she was
Her appearance proved her identity
by bringing back the words Belinda
had spoken that late afternoon
when she stood before Sandra's
dressing table mirror.
Curly hair-big blue eyes"
The little girl had not said: Dim
Pies but she had touched her
cheeks with her forefinger, a ges.
ture that meant nothing at the
time. Now, gazing at Gordon
Adams wife, Sandra knew what
Belinda had been expressing with
pantomime.
The child's description had made
her mother sound like a round
pink-cheeked doll. Regretfully San
ara was learning that quite the op-
posite was true. Susy Adams
was everything her daughter had
claimed, yet instead of possessing
a shallow beauty she possessed the
sort that maddened. Women, be-
cause they wanted to look like her.
Men, because they wanted to make
love to her.
Sandra realized all this and felt
jealousy, hatred, fear and other
emotions, all bad, rushing through
her. 1t seemed she had been sitting
for hours in the dazzling blaze of
Susy's smile; however, only a scant
second had been necessary for
those unattractive thoughts to at
tack her.
Somehow she forced the muscles
Of her suddenly sore throat and
made them function. I'm Sandra
Edwards" she said.
"Of course! No wonder you
seemed familiar to me. You are
with Wakeman-Benet."
Sandra nodded, then again made
her throat grapple for words. But
I can't have met you, Mrs. Adams.
I'd remember you if I had. You are
a person." she found herself saying
unWilIingly, who is always re-
mcmbered."
Susy Adams smiled her pleasure.
A smile appeared on Sandra's lips
also, brilliant but thoroughly pro-
fessional. She found she could not
look at Gordon's wife for more than
a brief second. That blond lowell
ness hurt too much. Once again,
Sandra felt as if a human hand
were tight about her throat. She
glanced down at her own feet, then
began tying and untying the yarn
ankle straps of her Mexican san
dals.
Still flashing the dimpled smile
that made her so friendly and ap-
pealing, Susy Adams was saying:
ooh, we've never met. But I've seen
and admired you at the store. And
naturally l admire your clothes. l

Again came her flashing smile.

II seemed incredible, now that
Susy was a person, an exquisite
hesh and blood person. that she
could nave made such a mistake,
But, came Sandra's self-defense,
uh'il this moment Susy had not
seemed real. Despite the remarks
OF Brody, Belinda and Of Gordon
himself, Mrs. Gordon Adams had
seemed just an unseen influence,
unattractive and inhuman,
Sandra decided not to wait for
any quixotic overture from Spen-
ser. She would telephone him. make
nm leave Hudson's and they would

such a fool! And Gordon had been
such a fool! The red-haired girl
found herself d~espising him. Yet
she knew she could not so much as
move away from the swimming
pool so long as there was a chance
Of seeing him.
Susy Adams was making small
talk: How long have you been
here? ?"
Sandra answered truthfully, feel
ing that the blond girl did not real
ly care, but considered pleasant
conversation her duty.
But how al you be away from
Wakeman-Benet at this time of the
year? Isn't this a very busy sea-
SOM"
Every season Is a busy one.
That's my trouble. I've been too
busy" Quickly she explained her
nervous breakdown from overwork.
I'm jittery as a bat. weak as a
kitten"
Il can we'll believe It," Susy said.
I've lost count Of the number of
times you've tied and united your
sandal straps. Relax, dear"
Instead Of relaxation, Sandra felt
tension travel along her spine. A
casual endearment from Gordon
Adams wife acted as the sting of
a whip.
"Cigaret?" queried Susy, extend

toise decorated with a ruby deer.
Thanks, no. I'm not smoking

"Of course. How stupid OF me.
Still, a cigaret sometimes Gains

But it would not be the cigaret, she
said to herself. 1t would be Susy.

In response to that blunt ques-

mother. Shortly after she MUIR

Spring Fever Glands
AS to the glands causing spring
fever, it's hard to say. There may
be a sort of preliminary let-down
in their activity which corresponds
to the feeling Of spring fever, fol-
lowed by a surge Of gushing fervor
which corresponds to the later
nesting instinct. But we can't
measure those acuratel y and mere
ly have to guess.
In the middle ages in some parts
OF Europe, spring was marked by
the dancing mania. One warm day
the people Of a village would hear
far off the sounds of a pipe, and
down the road would come the
piper, and they would rush from
their houses and dance and dance
for days and nights until they fell
exhausted. Lucky are those who
can hear those pipes in these days.

Debatablc Question

Why this should happen in the
spring Is debatable. 1t doesn't hap
pen in the fall, or other changes
Of seasons. 1t may be the long
period of lack of sunlight, and the
enforced indoor life we lead in the
winter. It may be glands.
We cannot in these days ascribe
1t to the dietary restrictions of
winter, as was done with some
justice fifty years ago. Nowadays,
transportation and refrigeration
of food is so perfected that our
winter diet contains almost as
much fresh fruit and vegetables
as our summer diet. This means
that our supply of vitamins is
pretty even the year round, except
for the vitamins created by sun
shine on the skin.
Deficiency Disease
In other days, the vitamin de-
ficlency disease Of spring in chill
dron was rickets, due to lack Of ex-
posure to sun during the winter
months. But nowadays we have
found that what the sun did was
to create Nitamin d in the skin,
so we supply children with Vita
min D by mouth all through the
winter and our rickets problem is
almost non-eXistent. Some re-
mains, however. was even reDOrted
from sunny California the other
day-so eternal vigilance must be
practiced.
In older people in former times
a scrutfiness of the skin occurred
in the spring. 1t was probably
form of scurvy or pellagra due to
salt meat and preserved food diet
in the winter. The old ladies used
to say the scruff would get off their
hands when they could get out and
