on restoration, and he restored
with a loving and respectful hand.

modern, functional and fine. He
mad some business buildings to his
credit-a bank, an Office building,
as well. But the nearest he had
ever come to planning a hospital
was when remaking fabulous

an expensive haven for the very
tired, the very neurotic, all of
whom were also very rich.
Anyway, the thing was in it's

What it would cost In the end, was
another matter, as was the pro-

would be kicked around plenty be-

meantime Steve wasn't going to
put in his two cents worth of dis
couragement. When Hathaway was
hooked, he told himself, watching
her dark eyes, bright with excite
ment, then was the time to tear
up lot of plans and start from

His unrest finally communicated
itself to her and she made the nee
essary graceful social gestures
which would release them from

Steve looked at her moment
and in that moment saw her clear

her appeal remained. You can dis
