A look of peace crept into his eyes. "It's there, he said drowsily. "The hidden beauty. Ill find It some time." He was quiet for so long that Janie thought he had gone to sleep.

Of what use would Hughs money he or her own fragile beauty If she must stay In Mulberry Square? She wondered why she had become A dozen reasons, engaged to him. creditable to Celia, presented themselves. She overlooked the fact that she had been piqued at Carter Shelbys Indifference, that she had fancied Muriel was gloating over her. She told herself that It was because Hugh had loved her greatly and she had pitied him.

It gave her a feeling of power. "What a beautiful girl!" she heard a voice exclaim. "Is It Marilyn Miller?" a younger voice asked In a thrilling whisper. The pleased dreamy expression crept into Celias eyes. She smiled faintly. Her manner was detached. Inside she was simmering with excitement. If you were beautiful, you could take what you wanted from life. She discovered that the flap lrom Carter's gray envelope was not in her bag. It didn't matter very much.

He was smiling down at her, holding both of her hands. Was there a hint of apprehension In his eyes? She preferred to think there was not. "It's lovely to see you, Carter." The silver harp strings were singing. "When did you arrive? At seven." "Have you had dinner? "No." She was hungry. She hadnt thought of It before. The dining room was dingy. Carter gave an order. Delia removed her gloves, rested her elbows on the tatile, her eiiln on her folded hands. She smiled at Carter through a pink blur of light. He was looking at her hands. "You haven't" lie paused.

Her hand, released from the biting nails, tore at the frills on her blouse. She must not let him know that she cared. "I hope you will be very happy," she said. Thank you, Celia. He looked at her through the mist of shaded pink You are light. Ilis eyes softened. lovely," he said. Her hand fell away from the frill of her blouse. It pleased her to think that whenever he looked at Muriel across a table he would be seeing Celia as she was tonight with a knot of violets pinned against her scarf. She was able, through the diminishing surge of anger, to feel a little sorry for him. I understand, she said gently. She wore her "Saint Cecelia" expression. She ate another macaroon. She still felt sorry for him as the; walked, half an hour later, through the ornate lobby and out Into the mild spring night. Carter called a cab. "What address, Celia? he asked. I'll tell him. She settled back against the upholstery. A passing cab stopped for a moment beside the cab which Carter had called. Celia caught a brief glimpse of a profile that looked familiar. Before she could be sure, the cab had passed and was gone. "Where to, Miss?" the driver asked She gave him Aunt Lucys address.
