Don’t take a chance on the telephone." ( It was raining hard that morning and Beth had worn a beret and her ol<l raincoat. Her silky ashen hair clung to her cheeks and she couldn't have felt more bedribbled than when she went into ths station and made her way, through crowds being disgorged from incoming trains, toward the ticket window. She was edging around a family, complete with children, luggage, bird-cage and portable baby carriage, when she found her path obstructed by a gentleman who was toting two handsome calfskin bags. "Sorry," she said, stepping aside agilely only to trip over the portable baby carriage, lowing her balance. Down she went. Umbrella and handbag flew out of her hands. Her beret slipped over her ayes. She thought, 1 must look very prepossessing! A pair of hands In neat pikskln gloves lifted her easily to her feet. Someone chuckle!). Beth said coldly, "No one Is very graceful falling over a baby carriage." "No one but you. Mias Beth Kinnan," an easy voice answered. Beth collected her wits and got the hat out of her eyes. "Mr. Archer!" The pleasure In her voice was spontaneous. , "Thia Is the nieeat thing that ever happened to me in Washington," he aald, adding conviction with his warm smile. "And I’ve been here many times since last we met." “Have you?" she asked, trying to tuck up her hair, which was beginning to curl wlnsomely under her old beret She thought Then are aom* men before whom you want to look your best and he's one of them." She noticed his necktie, a dark maroon against fine linen, and his rough tweed suit, the'set of Ms hat above temples only slightly silvered.
