IX.-EVE'S ROSY DREAM

For heavens sake, stop minute! quoth Miss Eve placing her small ands over her ears. But Julian Van paveer went on:
 Above all else, she must attract custom to the place
 Indeed" commented the young woman pertly. "and every once in a while she gets insulted for her pains.''
 'The salary will be $6O week for 6 start-with perquisites. If you make a hit it will improve, no doubt
 ''Poofr cried Miss Eve dramatically. sixty dollars weeN is very little good to me. Dyou realize l already owe about $500 for clothes? And what about my bridge debts, Julian2"
 He shrugged his Shoulders

 What exactly does :aat mean?"
 He narrow his eyes as he looked down on her, huddled babyishly in a corner of the taxi.
 Don't you understand that New York is dance mad at the moment That every rich and eligible man IS taking lessons? That night clubs are Ai"AiiS AorluHeS out ol BIued men of every age? How much more, then''- here a sly look deepened on his long narrow face-"how much more. then could a pretty, clever woman make q fortune out of such as these. In your capacity as social secretary of a high class place like Tredigo's, you'd mee, a hundred eligible men a week. u isn't difficult for a pretty, clever gifted woman to get gifts from men and still keep her own ways of life Yor've got the looks, Eve-and tn. cleverness-and you can dance ths newest dances like a South Sea Is lander or a dusKy maiden from the Earbary coast"
 Like a savage?" queried Eve, un. certain whether or no to be offended al this frank statement. Indeed, you flatter mel"

 She made little face as she dis mounted.
 "oh. how I hate crowd of women in the aggregate! l can stand them singly--sometimes battalions of them rouse a little demon in me, Julian! She flung an imploring look up at him. Tell me, why does woman-in a crowd of other women--always want to show her claws?'
 You're better here than in hotel, lrosaically remarker her escort, as hs paid the driver. He dumped the young womans suitcase down in the entrance haTl. Now run along and dress. I'll call for you in half an hour Ana meantime think over the secretaryship this new night club has offered you Believe me, Eve, that it's a chanceW
 Eve proceeded by the elevator to her room. Her thoughts were not entirely pleasant The attitude of Julian Van daveer-though amorous in way lad been scarcely lover-like
 If he hoped to marry Eve his urgent wish that she should accept this night club secretaryship was rather curious i The position woL~ be-well--not | rich men into a mellowed mood for spending money-thougn 1t suited Eve it ought not certainly to suit hus- band!
 But there were depths in Julian that Eve could hardly fathom. He appeared to be rich-to have plenty of money for i squandering round the theatrical dis triet Gf the city--and yet Eve could not discover the precise source of his , income. ..
 She arrayed herself in wondrous gown of black and gold. Il had been a gift from Darlington Bellairs, her | guardian. He was usually rather tight with money. But Eve knew how to handle him, she told herself.
 A feeling of well being crept over her. New York life was what she wanted. She must have it "perqui . | sites and all. What Julian Vandayeer i had meant by that strange word was probably Commission" Eyes dancing partners would be rich men whom she could introduce to Julian-he then would make some use of them-and Eve would get her share of the re- sultant spoil! Gambling at cards? A l flutter on the market? Companies that Julian was said to float? Oh, well, it didn't really matter--just so long as Eve was paid.
 And those eligible partners would nc coubt invite Eve out, to many a dainty little dinner tete-a-tete Eve was il past mistress at the gentle art of beg ging gracefully! Life took on a rosy i tinge
 She forgot her jealousy of Mary, ana the eligible backwoodsman she had re- gently pursued so systematically.
