brownstone house in the shabby West Sixties was in no way different from a dozen other houses in the block, except that about seemed to hover the ghost of its

past gentility. Its high stoop reared itself in outmoded

pride, in of spite

the fact that beside the faded sign heavy entrance door announced to anyone who, in the rushing, noisy, traffle of the New York of 1939, cared to rand: "Board and Lodging-Transient and Permanent."

a world Beyond the door was where time stood still- refuge for those who ingized behind in the march of the years and now found solace in turkey red carpets, high cellings, tunnel-like drawing rooms and prismed chandeliers. Above the marble mantel hung a vast. painting of the withered old Indy who for so many years had mistress of the house-Miss Minnie. Miss

Minnie had left the house and everything in it to heavy-footed, Berce, funny Maggle Ryan, who had served her long the and well as cook-and weepily romantic Norah Taylor, who had been her maid. Miss Minnie hnd willed them her four

There was gentle Mr Van Diver, who had been engaged to the mis- Iress thirty years, waiting for her father's consent to marry, and for tels years after. Mr Van Diver's mind was failing and he some times asked for Miss Minnic, fur- getting she was numbered among the dead. Could they turn him out!

Taxes might be overdue and bills tired of unpaid but Norah never telling Maggie that the world and the people in it were incurably good and that all the two of them had dreamed for their children would une day come true.

She insisted that her boy Tommy. whom she had not seen for five years, would marry Maggie's Saralı Jane yet, and be rich as all get out. And why not, for hadn't they been 'Tolsed like twins, Maggie's" Sarah Jane they called her Sal al the night clubs where she sang her torch congs was a honest provocative girl who was the joy, and the despair, of her mother.

The permanent boarders, enjoying quiet golae of rummy one even -ing, under Ms Minnie's_imposing poriralt-were thrown into confusion by the sudden pummeling of the front door and foud erles of "Let me in!" Fanto the poodle began to bark shrilly, and Mrs Taylor, open- ing the door warily, was shocked to see a little man sprawling on the nor and shielding his face with his hands, while Sarah Jane, revolver in hant, proceeded to deliver kicks with extreme violence.

"Don't tell me that. A good girl doesn't talk the way you do, or dress the way you do," her mother re- joined.

Sarah Jane paced restlessly about the room, her vivid beauty lighting up its drab Interiar. "Now listen, Ria," she protested, "I act the way I please, but technically I'm still a good girl."

"Well then, what happened with your job in Atlantle City?" Maggie demanded.

"Oh. I had an argument with a bubble dancer about who had the best expose. I threw her down two fights of stairs," Sarah Jane answer- ed matter-of-factly.

Moggle sighed. "When that Mr Greenfield set about glorifying you, I had hopes you was made."

"So," fald Sarah Jane, "ld Mr Greenfield."
