After dinner at the really charming old mill they drove to Mildred's stu- dio and lounged around talking in the big li¥ing room.

Butch's © :ar was parked in front of Adelaide's By Barbara Webb Copyright by Public Ledger house when Jimmy and Janet drove up. Adelaide came running to meet them. Butch following more heavily behind her. , "Howdy, howdy," Adelaide called, "Gimme a kiss, Jimmy--the one Janet won't let you give ther." She held out her arms and Jimmy kissed her on the mouth, "There," he told Janet, "see how nicely I can do it." "Quit petting my girl," Butch said d-naturedly., "I'd give yours a ig smack, but I'm afraid I'd get hurt--she's got a hefty right arm, that little queen of yours, I'll bet." Janet felt.a little forlorn. She hated casual lovemaking, she wanted her kisses to mean something when she gave them, but this all seemed so jolly and friendly that she felt fool- ish at being left out, Adelaide had her arm in Jimmy's and stretched out her free hand to Butch. 'When's the big party?" she de- manded. "What party?" Jimmy asked. _,"The one Butch wants to throw-- it's going to be the berries, cham- pagne and everything at Pussycat Inn--any night you want to go." "Sure," Butch chimed "in, "we'll shoot the whole works ary night you say. Saturday night's the big night --we all forget about Sunday--the next day's Monday 'after a party at the Pussycat." "What's the matter with tomorrow night ?" Jimmy asked, "That's Sat- urday, isn't it?" "I don't doubtfully, "Of course you don't--you don't know anything," Butch said, laughing heartily' at his own joke. "Let's call the deal closed. Addie and I will be 'réund for you about 10, no use going carlier--and put on your soup a fish, brother, they won't let you in the Pussycat without a black tie. Come on, woman--let's say good- night again." " know--" Janet began le caught Adelaide's arm and led her back toward the car, immy grinned. "I sure admire his techiriique," he told Janet as he took her up the steps of her home. "I don't suppose you'll want to see me before 10 o'clock tomorrow night, will you?" "No, I'll try to get in a nap before then. Adelaide never comes home from one of those parties before 3 in the morning, and I'm not sure I could stay awake that long without some extra sleep first." As they stood in the doorway for a moment Jimmy put his two hands on her shoulders. "You--you don't want me to kiss you, do you, Janet?" 'His face was close to hers and his voice was very wistful, Janet steeled herself. She did want | s him to kiss her. She wanted to lose herself in his arms.

As she dressed she looked at herself in the wavy old mirror, saw her clear eyes and faintly pink cheeks. "I look happy. Funay, I'm so many people these days, the Janet that wears a tailored dress to the office and works for a living; the Janet I'll be this afternoon in that Quaker dress while Mildred paints my picture; and the Janet I'll to- night when we go to the Pussycat Inn. I've never been to a night club -- and I've never tasted cham- pagne--" The day passed pleasantly, busily. Mildred was impatient to begin work and rushed Janet through lunch, into the Quaker costume, and on to the model's dais. All afternoon she painted like a demon, impatient with Janet's needed rest period, keeping her posing even after the light failed, When she was finally forced to quit she laid her brush down with a sigh, "It's going to be a reg) success," she .said soberly, "I've never painted so well as I have this afternoon--and ou, poor thing, you're all tired out. ok here, you're going to the Pussy- cat with Jimmy tonight, too, aren't you?" anet nodded wearily, Her back ached, even her fingers felt stiff where she had clutched the nosegay in position all afternoon. Mildred was remorseful, "Jimmy will never forgive me if I send you home look- ing like that. Listen do something for me, won't you?" A Change of Plan Janet promised, never dreaming of what was to come. Mildred went on impetiotsly giving Janet no chance to refuse, "You're not going.home at all, you're going to stay here, tele- hone. er, and then get nto a bath and pour ina whole bottle of bath salts, When you've soaked all this tiredness out-of your bones, Lucy will give you a massage and then i have some hot soup to sleep until I call you."

"Now Ill take care of Jimmy, you run along to your bath," Mildred di- rected. It all seemed like a marvelous dream to Janet, the soft scented water in the bath that Lucy got ready, the fragrant nightgown that Lucy brought her, the soothing mas- sage of her aching s with some smooth pungent oil, the clear hot soup, the soft comfortable bed--and then oblivion until Mildred shook her gently several hours later, "Up with you, en," Mildred commanded.
