Mona had succeeded in finding for Minnie Mead temporary position model in elusive cloak house, during the vacation of of the staff of regular girls, and had told their young protege to hold herself in patience until she heard from them again.
 q don't think it will be long before we shall have something encouraging to tell you," she promised the girl "In the meantime, if you need friend, do not hesitate to call on us at once"
 It the next day that the girls vigil was rewarded. Mona was the first to see the stocky figure of Fuller, as the banker, immaculate in frock coat and pearl-gray trousers, entered The Frivolity little before four in the afternoon.
 Fuers glance wandered past Mona, and rested on Mary who seated alone at table across the cafe She made demure innocent picture she sat idly reading a newspaper, and toying with cup of tea. Mona Fuller's eyes light as they appraised the details of her modish costume and pretty figure. Then he beck oned to the head waiter.
 'Who is that girl, Jules?"
 q don't know, sir. But, if you like will see if it can be arranged for you to meet the young lady"
 "She doesn't look like that kind of girl Jules-I mean the kind you can meet in public place without the proper introduction"
 "You are probably right. But we have re- gently introduced system here, sir. We have professional ntroducer, whose business it is to make persons acquainted with one another l mean in perfectly proper manner, sir !"
 "Oh, see' continued Fuller curiously "Quite an idea! We'll, don't mind If the young lady ", l ing to be introduced! But am afraid she is not the kind you think! !"
 Jules crossed to where Mona was sitting and explained the situation to her. Mona rose from her chair, and sauntered over to Mary's table. For several moments she talked to her, and would judge from the view of Fuller's chair that Mary was not in receptive mood In the end Mona walked back to Fuller's table.
 "Jules told me- Mr. Winters" she began, using the name under which Fuller selected to be known at the cafe, 'that you wished to meet the young lady at the opposite table!
 'Of course it is somewhat irregular, and the management insists that it know personally the persons who ask such courtesy, so that it vouch for them to the lady patrons Jules tells me that you are known here, and I have ex- plained to Miss Goodman this fact, and asked her if you cannot be introduced. She hesitated, will be frank, but I am quite sure that she will be delighted to know you!
 Fuller chuckled, and the next moment beaming his broadest smile, and lowing in his most gracious manner Mary received him with just the right degree of hesitation and coldness.
 When Mary Hartley chose, she could appear delightfully."- credulous and unsophsticated- and could carry out the deception in way that in- creased her charm On this occasion, she assumed the part of young girl anxious to see the gayer side of the citys life but fearful at the fascna- tion it held for her, and not at all certain as to whether she ought to remain in the cafe, or go back to her apartment. She explained that she was from small town in the upper part of the State and had come to the city with the idea of studying art-that her folks wealthy enough to allow her generous income, but wor- ried at the thought of her being in the great city alone without chaperone They danced once or twice and then Mary announced her in- tention of going home.
 When they parted before the apartment build ing, where the two girls had their home-ike little flat. Fuller prolonged his good-byes, and asked if he could call for her the next afternoon in his automobile, and take her for drive through the park She demurely agreed
