ChiclSie was always a little
shaken when JaniTia tore at the
fine silver garment she drapcd
about life, and now especially
about love. She saw herself
whimsically as a dried-up stalk, it's
leaves brown ana falling. She
laughed.
She began to wonder If they
might not scheme .someway to
hasten money and success. She
began to save a little.
Then a delightful thing happen

In q year, II she put away $25

Quite a stupendous sum to have

CHAPTER XXXVIII
STELLA'S AFFAIR.

Stella Wilson, on her way to the
dressing room, passed Chickie
desk. She walked with a kind of
angry violence that struck Chick
ie with curiosity. Half an hour
later, Stella had not returned.
A note from Janina dropped In
Chickie's lap. Wonder what's
biting the old girl now. Better 30
out and kid her along. You're
good at the soft stuff. Maybe her
life long suitor has given her the
ditch as I've predicted he would"
Stella was given to moods Of
frightful depression. Chickie was
tacitly elected by the four other
girls in the office to act as sympa-
thizer: to listen pityingly while
Stella poured out the grievance Of
her thirty years.
The office was acquainted with
Stella's furious wrongs. She was
brought UP with two older sisters
under strict Methodist discipline.
These two sisters were also unmar-
ried and still dependent upon their
father for support. -
They regarded Stella as "the
baby" Even at her present age

over her personal affairs. If she

she had a caller they saw that the

He began to walk again. Finally
he sat on the edge OF the bed
and kicked off his shoes. He was
cold, filled with uneasiness. He
got into bed and began to read.
The words brought no thought
to his crowded mind. He turned
the pages viciously, saying to
himself: '"Hell!'
He had a spent feeling-a
burning agitation as he went

'But when her ideals interfere

Chickie answered absently: "She

Her thoughts loitered deliciously
at the lighted altar, the candles

flowers. What a sacred moment
