"On the stage-a lot of new musical
shows are being put on, and I'm going
to try fox new job in the chorus.
Can't l see you SOON"
Sally arranged for a meeting for her,

moved swiftly, Sally told herself with
a smile.

gone to the Grand Central station to
meet her people, who had come rush

begun TO yearn for the luxury that
she had left when she married him,
and to feel cramped and uncomfort-

But I'll never go back to being just
parasite" she told Sally determined

daughters going to be taught to earn
her own living and amount to some
thing-Gibbs taught me what work is
worth, in making happiness"
Sally wandered about the living
room, restless yet not knowing what
to do. She had telephoned Green
witch, but had been told that there
was no news of her mother-in-law, and
little likelihood that she would return
soon from Europe. Sally had no
knowledge of where her friends were;
most of them would be out of town at
this season. At last. utterly weary of
her own unhappy thoughts, she tele-
phoned Lee Craig, and found the pref

"Oh Sally-fresh from the tombs."
laughed Lee. My dear, with you and
Keith Gilbert gone we've all changed
completely. Wilder than ever? No,
not at all; we're positively sedate.
Come on up to the studio, won't you?'
For the first time in her life. as she
dressed to go to Lees, Sally felt that
she had nothing suitable to wear. Her
clothes were shabby, although she had
tried hard to take care of them. II
was a chilly evening-and her only
presentable wrap was hardly warm
enough. Her sable scarf made her
cIinging black frock look rusty Her
clothes were not suitable for wearing
on a bus or elevated train, but she
could not afford a taxicab. Yet, re
Numbering the days when her maid

Sally turned to Lee Craig, who ha
sauntered up with a tiny carved ches
full of cigarettes.
Who is it that they're talkin

general chatter.
