Monsieur Rigaud called for Polly
and Paul in his handsome car.

when the three had slowed them
selves snugly in the back seat and
the uniformed chauffeur had started.
that you've been to the big restau-
rants. I'm choosing a little place
very quiet where we can talk-which
is famous for a certain dish. l hope
you like the unconventional, Ma
dame?"
ooh, indeed. yes, I wouldn't for
the world see only IN side of your
beautiful Paris. So many Americans
go only to the Ritz and the other
~glittering hotels; l love the quaint
places"
They stopped far down the Grknds
| Bouleyards. Monsieur Rigaud did
not take a table in the crowded
| downstairs room, but led them up a
| darkish fight of stairs to a small
| apartment that looked 10 Polly more
like a parlor than anything else.
The window was hung with red
silk, the curtains drawn. The carpet
matched. A red velvet sofa was
! against the wall and most of the re-
| mainder of the space was taken up
with the table, set for three but hav-
| ing the look of an extra chair hur-
riedly added.
1t looked warm and bright and
very clean, but there was a vague
atmosphere of the clandestine about
it all. 1t seemed too horid, and
somehow unnecessarily private. 1t
puzzled Polly.
She liked Rigaud but was q little
embarrassed by his u~nconcealed adj
miration. He fairly ~caressed her
with his large brown eyes, managed
to make her feel his remarks were
addressed to her, though made to
Paul, framed lavish compliments and
in q hundred subtle gallautries paid
court to her as a woman, not as a
fe~llow-being Of mind and spirit.
She took refuge in laughs and
lightness, signaling Paul now and
then, to come to her rescue. But
Paul didn't seem to notice -. Per-
haps he was preoccupied with the
business of the evening. Polly went
bravely on, looking forward to the
end of the meal and her w release
when the men should begin talking
together.
The waiter came in with a mes
sage. Then Polly remembered Pau
had left word where they were din
ing, so that an important telephone
call should be transferred. He ex'
planned and hurried downstairs tc
the phone.
Rigaud suddenly leaned to her

Business friendships between men

origin, and nobody approves the in
fraction of custom more than the
business girl!
The obvious reason for the re-
making of an old social rdle to suit
modern conditions is the fact that
the women of the two worlds do not
adapt themselves to each other and
those who know both worlds know
that both sets of women are equally
responsible.
In the competition for husbands,
the outstanding fact is that the IN
tluence some girls have over their
office companions ends at the office
door, as the first letter make clear.
Plainly, business nor home life gives
any woman an advantage in the
competition for a husband. The bal
