contest conducted by just such mag
azine as she was reading.
The photograph Of her upon which
this triumph had been based, greatly en-
larged, hung prominently on the wall Of
the living room. In it her firm shoulders
were draped in a precariously informal
seeming piece Of silk, her hair was
dressed to its utmost effectiveness, and
the celebrated, the appealing eyes re-
garded the world with an innocent and
tender surprise. Her mouth the pho
tographer had softened in shadow.
She nodded to her father, and in
stantly returned to the page before her.
Eldreda, he knew, was cross because he
wouldn't send her to California in order
to complete the success already so
auspiciously begun. Sending her West,
he had discovered, was not a simple
concern of transportation; it included
clothes; the right clothes; hotel in
Los Angeles, the right hotel for, per-
haps, month; and then she would be
off, or rather, on. At least she, sup

"Well," he replied pacifically, "it's too
nice an evening for ructions. Things
are going too smooth for that" The
smoothness Of "things" brought Miss
Conifee back to mind; and, after mo-
ment's forced hopeful consideration, he
spoke of her to his family.
"Now, take Miss Conifee-"
"Who's she?" Nanine demanded.
"That's his stenographer," Eldreda
explained
"She is more than that, Eldreda," he
patiently corrected her; "Miss Conifee

shortly, and then began again with a
