She went upstairs, but not to bed,
 She spent an hour brushing her hair. polishing her nails, cleaning her face carefully with cold cream and cold water ... putting her new clothes away in sachet powder.
 Before ten the next morning May Seymour telcphoned Glory. Hello, Lazy-bones!" she said in answer to Glory's sleepy Hello"
 i've been up for two hours" May went on proudly. "Bathed Nah Jongg already.
 Did you call me up to tell me you'd given your dog bath?" Glory laughed. T have something better to tell than that myself .. I've got a lot of new clothes to show you. Bought 'em yesterday"
 Well, doll yourself up in some of them and we'll go downtown and jazz around q bit,"' May said. I'm blue as .indiga .. and l don't know why. Found gray hair in my brush, for one thing, this morning! Think of 1t gray hair at twen- ty-five' :. What do you suppose I'll look like at forty?"
 Just the way you do now" Glory comforted her. "Brunets don't fade, May. And there's lot of good hair dye on the market when you really need it. What time will you call for me-"
 "Oh. about twelve" May said, and rang off.
 Glory set about the serious busl- ness of dressing.
 She had just finished by the time May honked the horn Of her car out side the house at noon.
 If anyone telephones for me when I'm gone, please say I'm hav- ing lunch at the Coffee Shop restau- rant with Mrs Seymour" Glory told | Ranghild, who was cleaning silver ! in the pantry She had vague idea that Stan might take it into his head ! 10 phone her.
 "Well, will you kindly take look at the Fifth Avenue kid!" May ex- claimed as Glory opened the door of the automobile and stepped in. That's the best-looking hat l ever saw in my life!"
 I'm glad you appreciate 1t. Dick all but killed me for buying it," Glory sighed. My goodness, to hear him talk you'd think I'd committed a murder instead of buying myself few clothes"
 That's the way with all the men, ," May sympathized as the car sped through the sunny streets. T tell you, Glory, woman has to fight for everything she gets in this world. I've broken John Of his everlasting ding-donging about bills though. Every time he ragged me for spending money l turned right round and spent some more, r. Now he's afraid to open hii mouth about bills"
 May set her painted mouth in straight firm line.
 What does a girl get out of mar riage but a few clothes and parties r and a houscful of furniture to keel
 dusted, anyway" she went on afte a moment. Nothing. else at all! But a mans marriage just double
 his interest In life. He still has hi
 business, and home and wife ol
 the side. Whereas a girl gives u1
 everything when she marries."
 Glory thought this over. Surel May hadn't given up everythin
 when she married Dr.. John. Sh , certainly had not given up Jim Ga
 rcwe, for instance. They still wen , around together as they had befor
 Mays marriage.
 Dr. John was mystery to Glory
 Didn't he care if his attractive youn |, wife and Jim Carewe lunched to
 gether two or three times q wee o while he, himself, was making hi
 calls? Or did he care so muc for May that he let her do as sh . pleased, so long as she was conter :. to be his wife? . Glory couldn d figure it out.
 May parked her car outside a
 automobile salesroom. o After the two girls had shoppc and lunched they decided to go bac = to Glorys hoiusc to look at her ne ', clothes.
 |, Glory was vaguely unhappy.
 Somehow or other she had had
 wild hope that she would see Stal
 ley Wayburn in the restaural s where she and May had just luncl ~, ed. When she had dressed thu o morning, she had been dressin H .,, half-unconsciously for Stan's eye ,n And she had not seen him. '" Look at that blue car there the window, Glory" May indicat' ,o a glossy little roadster in the wi ~. dow of the showroom across t
