pain. She felt the blood rush to her
head and leap in her pulses. and yet
when she finally stood up and Allen
handed her the notebook and pencil,
she was very white.

light as his own. Then with a hardly
perceptible little nod, she went out
of the room.
Her brain was whirlins. She felt as
If she must be dreaming. that she
hadn't actually experienced that mo-
ment in Allen Norris office. For in
that moment all her vague ideas
about love had suddenly crystallized.
She knew now what love could mean.
In the instant that her fingers had
touched those of Allen Norris she
had experienced a moment of blind
ing revelation. She knew that she
cared for him.

she told herself over and over that
this couldn't be true. 1t simply wasn't

| She had chtlls and fever whenever
he called up-she blushed inWardly
every time he said anything nice to
her-she was faint with happiness
when she realized that he was In love
with her. In short she had all the
normal emotions Of any average girl.
But never once did anything OF her

| She Knocked him when he was seri-

| Her girl friends knew and under
stood her attitude perfectly. She was,
and always had been. a person shy and
reserved about the things she felt
most.
She shrank from expressing her
feelings too openly. Afraid Of seeming
over-anxious for his affection, she re-

the coming season are navy blue,

Other designers, however, have con.
sidered a full skirt, apparently, neces-
sary in a season like the present. So
you will find some suits with numer-
Gus wide pleats. others with short cir.
cular skirts, some with side pleats and
some with front pleats. One thing
seems reasonably certain, and that is
that the we'll dressed woman will al
ways wear her tailored suit with some
sort of high necked blouse beneath.
Tweed seems to be the favorite
medium for the new Spring suit, but
bear in mind that great strides have
recently been made in the making OF
tweedS. They are now as varied In
tone and color as they are in weave.
There are diamond patterns and zig
zags, herringbone, irregular stripes
and interesting notified effects.
