 He opened the glass door of his office with flourish, and bowed Glory ouL quite as If she had been q queen, ..
 This was the only way 10 shop! No bargain hunting, no count ing out change! Simply to ask for what you wanted. and order 1t sent | home
 I'd like to see afternoon dresses something really good" Glory said to the saleswoman who came toward her across the gown depart- ment.
 She sat In a comfortable chair while the saleswoman brought in dress after dress. Finally Glory chose three .. peacock blue. a black velvet, and an old-rose crepe.
 "Ill try those three on. and see which one suits me best" she said.
 They were all wonderfully becom- ing.
 Glory couldn't make up her mind which one to buy. She was in deli cious despair.
 Madam is lovely in any of the gowns." the saleswoman declared.
 She knew her business, that sales woman!
 "Why does not madam take them all?" she asked carelessly. Tt is not every day that she will find three so perfect gownsl"
 Glory hesitated.
 But the price!" she breathed.
 "Only three hundred dollars for the three of them?" the saleswom- an asked in surprise. But that is nothing! They were twice that much at the beginning of the sea- son! They are a bargain those dresses!"

 In Q few minutes she came back with wide -brimmed hat of creamy satin.
 Here's a madam's hat" the mill liner said, setting it on Glory's red gold head. Simple but smart" The salesWoman was right! It was Glory's hat She graced it..
 "How much is it ?.' Glory asked.
 "Fifty-fve dollars" the milliner answered in the tone she might have used in saying two for a 1 nickel"
 Fifty-tive dollars! Glory wonder ed what Dick would say if she paid that much for a hat that hadn't a scrap of trimming on it. ..
 In the end she took it -- charged it to Dick.
 Next Glory bought the beaded bag she had seen in the show window. It was sS0.
 "Charge it and send it." she said. She gave her name and address with a feeling of Excitement. She had never owned a charge account before ip her life. . They were like wishing rings, these charge accounts. You simply ordered what you wanted ,. :. murmured Charge it" and 1t was yours
 On her way out Of the store Glory stopped at the toilet-goods counter.
 Idly she picked up lipsticks and eyebrow pencils in their silver holders. She needed neither. 1 Her lips were natural scarlet. And the black lashes, planted thick
