THE sun, rather strong and
healthy for October, shone
through th aouthern window
onto Nina' fair hair. In th morn
ing she never bothered to brush
th little individual curl over her
finger, but combed it and combed
It vigorously, until It stood out
like a halo of spun sugar. Her
brown eyes her father's brown
yes looked more arresting than
ever, with her blondeness, when
he wore it this way. Honey used
to say: "If all right, darling, you'll
make success of marriage. You
look too beautiful in the morning!"
Today, her pajamas were of soft
green velvet, and she had a
springy look to her, like a slender
daffodil with her yellow top.
She was finishing her second cup
si coffee, and was pulling, de
liclously, on her first cigarette,
when her stepfather appeared in
th doorway.
He looked nice in the mornings,
too, apparently . . . well-groomed
and refreshed. The beautifully
tailored suit was brown, this time.
"Good morning. Er ... do I just
ome in?"
"Of course. Good momlng, Rich

Th chair at th head of the ta

t the aide. A bit of tact and nice
feeling that Nina appreciated.

Richard rose, courteously, and
held out a hand.

eould tell that my wife ha been

Nina thought: "I band it to you,
old man."
Bridget blushed and bobbed
little curtsy, looking Immensely
leased. She went To the side
oard, gathered up a doily and
some flat silvr. and proceeded to
lay a place ... at the head of th
table. As she pulled back th arm
chair, invitingly, her glance at
Richard was perilously verging on
the arch.
"Well, now I feel that I've been
officially welcomed into the fami

and this time Nina said it

He looked at her, steadily, for a
moment. It was impossible not to
realize that he was appreciating
her beauty.
"It would make me Immensely
happy to feel that I had won you
over, too, Nina."
She gave a little laugh that
didn't sound quite natural, some
how. "Oh, m . . . Well, you'll Just
