more crowded than usual. Everybody was going somewhere. People had intent, serious faces and never once stopped to look aroimd. She marveled at them. They took so much for granted, so much that^e would never take for granted again.

She looked down the street. The Paramount was playing the new Bing Crosby picture, the one with Kitty Carlisle. The Rialto had two horror pictures, and the New Yorker was showing two westerns. The Nedick's on the comer across the street was busy, the customers standing three deep around the counter. The Chinese restaurant between 42nd and 43rd still advertised a thirty-five-cent limch. Hector's cafeteria opposite the hotel still boasted the biggest selection of pastry in town, and the faint sound of music from the dance hall on 45th mingled with the discordant blare of traflBc.

With a feeling of contentment she started down the steps to begin her shopping. There were some stores here where she knew she could buy clothes fairly cheap. Plymouth for underwear and blouses, Marker's for skirts and dresses, Kitty Kelly's for shoes. She found herself humming as she crossed the street. She had been wrong in what she had told Pop that morning.

She was home.

She leaned back in the tub lazily, a delicious languor seeping through her. The water was covered with sparkling, exploding bubbles, and their perfume hung heavUy in the air.

Somehow she had never felt clean after using it It seemed to leave a coarse layer over her skin.
