the handsome figure of a man about town he had been when he became her step falhcr he was setting stoul and somewhat florid and his blond hair was receding al the temples but his spirit was buoy ant his nature restfully uncomph cited and his enjoyment of good fo d good sport and gay compan remained undiminished he was kind and fond of het his expres sion now as he looked bt her across lace and

meeting was still in the fu ture the feeling they had for each other was secure now but that was absurd she shook off frightening fancies her spirits lifted when the negro doorman opened the door for her merry christmas william white christmas miss graham it s nice isn t it luck fo certain the negro s face was slit by an ivory grin good times comin pretty soon the train from boston unless it was late was already in gay made her way through the concourse of the station toward the gate where john would be waiting expectancy gave wings to her feet she hur ned on jostling and being jostled heedless of admiring glances cast at her impatient of any delay then through people passing she saw him and reluctance checked her eager ness her flying pace slackened she advanced slow ly caught fn pan ic again walking mechanically all feeling suspended he did not see her he stood be side the gate his eyes searching cnrougri the groups that eddied pati him but vfes that john she hadn t remembered it was the overcoat he wore which made him look so tall she d never seen him in the winter before the new hat he wore was not becoming she didn t know him it wasn t that tall young man obviously ill at ease whom she had come to meet she couldn t move or speak to him she felt paralyzed frozen inside he saw her and smiled she start ed toward him as he started to ward her hello he removed his hat smiling diffidently hello her voice sounded thin and unnatural she felt her mouth stretch in a mechanical smile he bent to kiss her she hfled her face a redcap carrying luggage bumped into them so that his lips filanemgly touched her cheek we must and a taxi she did not look at him i didn 1 bring a i ar his hand cupped her elbow but she led the way a porter followed with his
