She answered him, grimly, "There
are several million women in this
country earning their own living, and
I'm going to be one of them"
His comment was a barking, "Hah I"
She lugged the box away to her room.
Bayard flung himself into chair and
listened to the cauldron of his own
hateful thoughts. Gradually they
ceased to bubble and stew. He could
hear now the muffleo beat of Leila's
sorrow. He resisted it for q while,
sneered at 1t, ragged at It, and then at
the cruelty Of the world.
Leila's sobs had stopped now and
Bayard listened for them anxiously.
Perhaps she had died of grief. A lasso
seemed to have caught him about the
shoulders; 1t was dragging him to the
door.
He went there at last, and listened.
He heard low whimpering, unendur-
ably appealing. He tapped on the door
and called through 1t.
Leila, honey love. forgive me. I've
seen the little gown. It's beautiful.
You shall have it-and a dozen like it.
Please forgive me and love me again.
And I'll buy you anything you want.
Please. Please don't keep me stand
ing outside your door. Honeyi Leila

through to take refuge with his Leila.
A moment later the doorbell rang.

had been fasclnatingly entertained.

her with the zest of n young lover.

and then, pulling her engagement ring
from her finger, placed it in his hand.
"What-what's this, Daphne" he
suffered.
"It's your ring. I'm giving 1t back.
The engagement is off-indefnitely."
"For heavens sake, why7 What

Nothing. Neither have l. But I'm

what are you going to do, Daphne?"
II don't know-but something"
Don't you love me any more?"
"Just as much as ever-more than
ever. And I'll prove it, too"
"Prove 1t by putting the ring back
on"
"Neverl Send it back and save your
money. That's what I'm going to do
with what I've bought. Kiss me good
night and go. please"
She left him outside and closed the
door as lovingly as she could.
While Clay waited for the elevator
to come up and take him down he
stared at the ring with sleeps eyes.

and laughed and almost spoke his
thought aloud:
Funny thing. I haven't paid for 1t
yet. Got an insulting letter from the

But Daphne was thumbing the tele-
phone book to see II she could find
Tom Duane's number.

now that the gown was lost, and she
said she had letters to write.
But when her mother and Leila had
left her she wrote only one letter-a
note Of regretful rejection to Dutilh.
She pinned 1t to the box and sent 1t
OF by a messenger. Then she tele-
phoned to Tom Duane.
She did not quite realize the temer-

Tom Duane misunderstood her, I'M

breaking an engagement at tennis.
He asked her If she would not meet
him somewhere for tea, but she said
that she preferred to see him at her
brothers apartment. His invitation
aroused her suspicion. Her Invitation
confirmed his.
Daphne's heart was beating excited
