THE horrible old woman grInned
at ME and said:
"'You see what love for fine clothes
has brought you to. You were willing
to give your soul for that dress--you
know 1t. So you deserve just as much
punishment as if you had really done

For some reason Mr.. winklehorst's
heart sank He didn't like to have
her sitting there talking that way to
him. 1t may have been because a
man isn't likely TO be in love very
long with the girl who is too easily
won. And then there was that dis
agreeable thought of the soap calen-
dar He could easily imagine what
his friends would say when they
found out about it. He would be o
public laughingstock.
AS If she had read his thoughts, the
girl began to shrink away from him.
This caused Mr.. Winklehorst's love
for her to reassert itself He forgot
everything but her wonderful beauty
and the splendor of her figure. The
delicate perfume from her rich gar
ments seemed to intoxicate him, and
he was determined to possess her.

He tried to reach out and catch her
but there was rustling of skirts
and Miss Darlington, the pretty steno-
grapher touched him slightly upon the
arm, which he had flung out, saying.

Suspended from the electric light
bracket above Addison Winklehorst's
desk was a beautiful woman with a
little calendar in one corner of the
card. 1t is what might be called a
haunting face that beamed down upon
Mr.. Winklehorst as he sat there look
ing over his mail. He could not, for
some reason. keep from glancing up
every little while and drawing a deep
sigh.
Presently he noticed that the lady
Of the calendar was bending forward
toward him and assuming lifelike pro-
portions. One of her dainty feet pro-
truded over the edge of the card and
faint, delicious perfume emanated
from her rich attire. Just how she
got down to the floor he did not know,
but he suddenly found that she was
sitting beside him and looking gladly
into his eyes.
