Peters and Elliott Reid, decide to
break the match up" to save mother
from herself." And then the fun be
gins.

agent, Allyn Joslyn. they lead the
staid chemist to believe certain color

selling novel are autobiographical.
They even manage to get him drunk
at an out-of-bounds night club and
endanger his highly regarded posi
tion on the faculty. Fate takes a hand
when Susan falls in love with the
young English teacher. Richard Carl
