CARING us all for spite? What else
is it but cheap, nasty splitter"
'It's a great deal more than spite"
Bayard groaned. do you think I'll
accept favors from a man who has
been counting you and got caught at
IT? I'd rather starvew
swell. l wouldn't" Leila averred.
"And I'm not going to starve. And
I'm not going to let you commit hari-
kari on Wetherell's doorstep Just to
spite him. l tell you again, once for
all, there was nothing wrong in Weth-
erell's behavior, absolutely nothing.
It's outrageous that you should accuse
me of such horrible things"
So Bayard was coerced into having
his life saved by his enemy. 1t was
one thing, however, to consent to deal
with Wetherell, and another to devise
tolerable reconciliation.
"Well," Bayard sighed, "beggars
can't be choosers. If I'd saved my
money / shouldn't have to take Weth-
erelrs money"
Bayard called up the president of
his company at the office. His grafton
made a huge success. Bayard began
to smile to himself, to wink at the
spectators, and finally to share in the
apparent rapture of his distant ear
tO-ear.
The end of the matter was that when
Bayard left the telephone he was a
new man. He had cunnlngly raised
his chiefs hopes to the highest de-
gree, yet withheld the name of the
English agent. He explained that he
intended to take Leila's advice and
use his knowledge as lever for his
own advancement and Clay'S.
Clay and Bayard sat down to make
figures, and the talk grew too tech
meal for the women to endure. After
hearing the first music of Bayard and
Clay chanting In hundreds of thou
sands of dollars Daphne stole out I'M
needed and went up to her own room.
Mr.. Chivvis was sitting by win
dow in mournful idleness. Mrs. Chlv-
Wis was stitching away at her en-
broldery. She was cheerful-for her.
She told Daphne that she had found
a market for her needlework; the
prices were poor but they were real.
She advised Daphne to get to work
with her.
Daphne had not the courage to say
that her brother and her betrothed
were about TO become plutocrats. She
said only that she was very tired.
And there Is no more exhaustlng drain
on the nerves than their response to
unexpected good news. 1t is more
fatiguing than bad. She was sur
prlsed and shocked, too, to find how
snobbish she was all of a sudden
about the petty earnings of Chivvis.

with his finn because Of the huge
orders he brought in. He took all
the power that was accorded and
grasped for more. His most reckless
audacities were rewarded with sue
cess. He rode a tidal wave and swan
with II so well that all his progress
seemed to be due to his own power.
Bayard astounded Dutilh with the
solution Of that old account, and with
cash payment for new gowns in
celebration of his new glory. He did
not forget his own people. He tele-
gaphed his mother a thousand dol
lars and almost slew her with amaze
ment he telegraphed his father sim
ply the price Of a railroad ticket to
New York and q 5eremptory sum-
mons to take the first train east.

The cousin painted 1t well and illu.
minated it with elaborate initials and
an allegorical figure of a young lady
in Cubist negligee. 1t had the tradl.
tional charm of a tavern board. In
fact, their shop was to be a tavern for
women in search Of sartorial refresh
ment.
Troubles mustered about them as
weeds shove up In a garden faster
than they can be plucked out. Ex-
penses undreamed of materialized In
swarms. Everything was delayed ex-
cept the demands for their money.
The petty-cash box, like a sort of per-
verted fairy purse, emptied itself as
fast as 1t was filed.
The petty cash was the least of
their dlsmay. The grand cash was the
main problem. They had stitched
their fingers full of holes and piled up
reams of fabrics. but the total was
pathetically tiny.
One thing was instantly demon
strated. They must give up their plan
or go into debt. Indeed, they already
were In debt.
"We've got to take the plunge" said
Daphne. "Td rather die than go on
paying a years rent for an empty
shop"
IL know" Mrs. Chlvvis fretted,
gnawing her thin lips, ''but it's risk.
You'd better ask your brother"
"NoT Daphne stormed. 'Pm going

troubles. He doesn't know / have any.
And Leila is 90 busy with her social
business that she never asks me what

been kept down so. He never could
get ahead. That was what we were
saving up for-to get little capital.
And then the war came along-and we
had to spend our savings. That same

that he could give you a small fortune.
/ don't believe you could do better
than to put that into a business"
"Neither do IT. Daphne cried.

Finally Daphne, claiming the ma
jorlty of the power. voted en- bloc for
''Boudoirwear, and claimed the vic
tory. Mrs. Chivvis surrendered with
the amendment that Miss Kip"
should be at one side, "Mrs. Chivvis"
at the other. She bribed the assem-
bly, by promising that cousin of hers,

many designs had been composed and
destroyed they agreed on this legend /:
