Eileen, to be a stumbling block TOTO
PameIa, who Is suddenly raced with

"YOuve hit the nall on the head

not in sympathy with her, and l am;
SO you'd better hand over her check,
and tomorrow morning at ten I'll be
here to help her cash and spend it-if
necessary" She turned to Pamela with
a twinkle of anticipation in her eyes.
"How about it,"
Pamela smiled back her bubbling
smile, and then suddenly grew grave.
DO you think | could order by
measure?" she asked, and, remarking
the hurt establishment on Eileen's
face, continued in rapid but neverthe-
less halting explanation: you see, it's
Mr. Randolph. This is really his apart
ment, and he may be back almost any
any day. II don't want to miss
him. II wouldn't be out when he
comes, for anything"
Him." interiected Mrs. Milyuns, but
before she could make any further
progress along that line, Eileen was on
her feet and saying good-by among
these other things:
"Thats all nonsense. If Bobby
found YOU here just as he left you, the
first time he decided to turn up, he
might never appear again. But If he
finds you after two or three unsuccesS-
full calls and just one days shopping,
he will never leave. TomlinsOn will
have to throw him out"
"TomlinsOn couldn't" said Pamela,
with calm complacercy.
Gradually the sure shot made by
Miss Milyuns began to take effect. The
thought of new clothes-new smart
suits, airy evening nOthings, filmy I'M
dergarments, and solid-silk hosiery
stole Pamela from her intention Of
eternal vigilance and led her to say:
"After ALL 1 will go with you, if it
really isn't asking too much of you"
Nus was Mrs. Milyuns side-tracked
for keeps, and on the following morn
ing tie two young ladies were waited
downtown in Mr. Milyuns best limOu
sine and proceeded to open a chain Of
credit-accounts, on the bare say-sO Of
Eileen and in the name of Miss l. =.
Thornton, that spoke volumes for the
formers exclusive taste in fashion
able purveyOrs and financial ability to
humor it. Possibly the two would
have shopped up to the moment of the
present writing had it not been for
the fact that Pamela knew all about
money from the short end.

FINISHED shopping" said Pamela.

spent almost the whole check"
"'The whole checkT" exclaimed
Eileen. "Why, you haven't touched it.
That's the beauty Of charge accounts |
You can keep your checks to look at !
