SYNOPSIS
'Preparing to close her summer home
and spend the winter in France with
a great-aunt, Anne Vincent, a middle
aged widow, accedes to the pleas of her
adopted daughter Rachel, twenty and
pretty, that she toll her about her real
another. Anne, an unselfish, understand
ing soul, finds the task difficult, since
she feels Rachel is putting a barrier
l between them. Rachel learns that her
real mother was beautiful eighteen-year-
old Elinor MaUoy. deserted by her young
husband, before Rachel's birth. He was
i. killed in the World war. In desperate
S? financial straits, Elinor had agreed to
V-RacheTi adoption at birth by Anne.
whore own baby had died. Elinor sub
sequently had married Peter Cayne, a
' "wealthy New York business man, and
had a son. To soften the story for Ra
chel, Anne omits telling her that her
mother had been callous and selfish and
bad said: "It's odd your baby died and
mine didn't." Rachel goes fishing with
Bob Eddis, a local boy who runs a li
terary and does wood carving. She re
fuses his plea to stay in Rockboro and
marry him, instead of going to New
York. Departing the next morning, they
leave the keys with Mr. Kreel, a hen
gpecked neighbor, so he can enjoy the
radio. Reviewing the situation between
Sachet and herself. Anne is confirmed
in her belief that it is time for Rachel to
learn .more self-dependence. Rachel
makes arrangements to stay in New
York for the winter with "Pink," a
ikeen, vivacious girl absorbed in her Job.
CHAPTER III Continued
Anne opened her lips to say "Best
take your bags to Pink's so they
don't have to be moved twice," but
she changed it to "Very well," re
membering that Rachel must pow
make her own decisions, however
small. She added gratefully, "It'll
be a big help to have you with me."
"That's a joke, you know Grable
does everything. All you need is a
couple of frocks and a visa on your
passport Poor old Grable, what'll
he do with his Philharmonic tickets
this year?"
"You might go with him."
Rachel laughed. "And have him
tell me all about Brahms? That
would be a thriU! All the same I
mean to cultivate Grable a little,
he might find me a Job Just for your
sake."
With hesitation, because she had
so determinedly kept her hands off
this most important matter, Anne
asked, "Rachel, are you any nearer
knowing what kind of a job you'll
Hook for?"
"No, not a bit Pink will prob
ably think up something and force
me into it And I'll hate it"
"I thought from what you said to
Bob last night that you had some
thing definite in mind."
Rachel replied with ostentatious
carelessness: "Oh, that that was
on the side."
Anne decided to make a joke of
it "You and your secrets!" she
said, smiling. "All right keop out
of jail, that's all I ask." And she
would not notice that Rachel' 3 smile
was a little forced and anxious.
"Would you like to ask Pink to din
ner tonight if she hasn't a date?"
.she went on.
Yes, Rachel would like that. And
"for the rest of the trip if they talkid
at all it was of nothing with spe--cial
meaning.
Pink, it appeared, could come to
dinner and at seven; bsfcro they
were ready, she came bounding into
Rachel's rcom at the hotel without
ia sign of her day's work about her.
.Pjnk was small and thin as
toothpick, her nose turned up, her
skin was pleasantly freckled, her
hair shoe-polish black. She hailed

Southern belle of song and story in
every possible way. She did not
even have a Southern accent and
she was 100 per cent un romantic.
Her brain was keen and violent,
she spoke her opinions instantly and
acted on them as soon as made, and
she was quick to be kind and tol
erant and also to be sharp and hard,
but she couldn't cherish a grudge.
Anne heard her speaking to Ra
chel and in another moment Pink
tapped at her door, popped inside,
hugged and kissed her and said
how grand it was to see her, all in
one motion.
"You're coming to dinner with
us." Rachel called in, "and we're
going somewhere swank. I'll "get
enough cheap Italian dumps this
winter and don't I know it"
"I'm not dressed for a swell
place and we haven't any man. Or
have we?"
"No, we haven't," said Anne,
"but I don't think it matters, it's
early and you have me for chap
eron." The talk went on after they had
reached the roof garden which Ra
chel selected as their dining place.
Anne listened, amused, as the two
girls chattered.
"I tell you." said Pink, "this is
the women's day and the men's de
pression. It's the women who've
scrabbled .around and found some
sort of jobs when the men couldn't
find any. My part-time maid tells
me that practically every woman
she knows is supporting a husband
or a brother or a father. And com
ing into the white-collar class it's
the women who've kept the home
fires burning, they've made new
job when they couldn't find old
ones. Two big women's clubs have
built and furnished clubhouses,
though building is practically dead,
and they've financed them soundly,
too. Ladies, someone said the other
day, have found out they can work.
So here's the town, Rachel, you can
take your pick."
"Are you calling me a lady?"
"Not offensively."
"It's just what Rachel needs,"
thought Anne, watching the two
girls. "She sharpens and comes
more alive with Pink. It's much
better for me to leave her for
awhile." It hurt her unbelievably to
admit it all the more because she
was sure Rachel was glad of the
coming separation. She felt a lapse
or change in Rachel's affection, that
talk yesterday (heavens, was that
only yesterday!) had denned and
marked it out. "Somehow she re
sents being my child," she thought.
"I feel as though I'd been walking
along confidently and suddenly
stepped off into space. It must be
my fault part of it." She tried to
remember, to analyze . . .
The next morning Anne had a talk
with Hobart Grable while Rache!
took her passport for the necessary
visa. Hobart was gloomy and an
noyed about her going away for the
vinter. He twisted his kindly fea
tures into frowning disapproval
"It's ridiculous to let that old har
ridan work on your feelings," he
said, "and it's worse than ridiculous
to let Rachel live down in the Vil
lage and hunt for a job. She won't
find one, the town's full of girls look
ing for work, trained girls, smart
girls. Rachel's neither trained nor
smart. I don't understand youi
persistence in doing this. Anne, at
taken, and an old-fashioned gathering
was enjoyed by the friends and rela

gifts.

afi.. You' don't know what might
happen to Rachel. ' '
"I depend on . you" to look after ..
her?'; said Anne, 'with mild malice.
"Every month when, you pay her
allowance you must go and call on
her and her friend Fink. It'll do you
good, Hobart, to find out what the
yount moderns are thinking."
"I wouldn't go sear .'em on a bet .
Anne, It's unkind of you to go away
this particular winter,- I've taken
season tickets for the opera, Lily
Pons is coming back and there's a
new dramatic soprano from Nor
way who's the greatest Isolde living
today. Lotte Lehmann is going to
sing the Marschallin. too. I was
counting on you to go. with" me, as
well as to the Philharmonic. You
never consider me. I wish I could
stop hoping you might"
When she came away Anne won
dered if in the end she might be
driven to the shelter of Hobart Gra
ble's unchanging. loyalty just be
cause it was unchanging. But pres
ently she forgot him in meeting Ra
chel and trying once more to dis
cover, in the short time left what
wall had risen between them. It
was all as usual on '-the , surface.
They shopped together, Anne bought
the blue and chartreuse suit Rachel
selected, though she would have pre
ferred black with white, and she
gave way, under protest, to the red
lace dinner dress with velvet jacket.
Finally the moment of sailing ar
rived. Pink got leave from the office
and came down to the boat with
them. Hobart Grable was there, he
had filled Anne's cabin with flow
ers and fruit and candy and books,
there were telegrams and letters
and the usual grist of useless bon
voyage gifts. They had purposely
come on board at the last minute to
shorten the stupid wait before sail
ing, and Grable left first; he had,
he said, an appointment which
dragged him off. Then, as the warn
ing gong rang out Anne kissed Pink
and Rachel and told them to go
along, there was no point of their
standing on the pier to wave good-
by. She caught Rachel back for a
moment hugged her hard. "Dar
ling child, I hope you have a won
derful winter. Keep safe and well.
my dear. I'll be thinking about
you."
The two girls made their way
down the staircase and the gang
plank out across the pier. "I can't
help wondering,", said Pink grave
ly, "what was the matter with your
mother. I never saw her look like
that before."
"What on earth are you talking
about?" asked Rachel. "I didn't no
tice anything.".
"You didn't notice anything! You
didn't notice she! was crying" fit to
break her heart?" j .
"Pink, you're crazy I
"I may be' crazy, ;but I'm not
blind." - ; '- f y
Rachel was Intent on something
else. "Look, Pink, I want to stop
for a minute at this phone booth, I
want to look up an address. I
waited until mother was actually
gone but I don't need to wait any
longer." She seized that battered
dog-eared volume chained to the
desk outside the booth aid ran. it
through with rising impatience:

"If you're going to do any pro
longed phoning I'll leave you," said
Pink, "I'm due back at the office."
"I just want to get an address,
I'm not going to phone." Rachel
was scribbling it down. "I wanted

"It's an odd number on the right."
