followed him up the tagged walk.
Together they went around the
little fairy-tale house, peeping in
at all the windows. The rooms
were as quaint as the house it.
self. They were filled with lovely
old-fashioned furniture, bright rag
rugs, old pewter ware and flow
cred chintz curtains.
1T belongs to an artist and
his wife who have gone to New
York for the winter" Gus told
her as they looked in at the little
kitchen with its rows of shining
pewter and copper pots. its glis-
tening china, its ruffled shelves.
Behind the house there was q
neat little yard that sloped down
to a wall that overhung the tiny
brook.
IT never saw anything so
pretty as this in my life" Bobbie
declared az she and Gus leaned
over the stone wall side by side.
IF l had a house of my own
I'd want 1t to be just like this"
Not Her Desire
OF course, she didn't want q
house of her own. Nothing was
further from her desires. What she
did want, just then. was a career
the thing that Gus had Just prom
ised to give her, if she would
put herself into his hands. A
career in pictures. What could
be more wonderful? Who could
ask for anything better? All at
once, as she stood there above
the whispering little brook, Bob
bic felt dreadfully sorry for all
the women in the world who
couldn't have a career in moving
pictures. For all the women who
had to spend their days in little
houses, in little back yards, in
little apartments. For women
who had to do all the dull homnIy
tasks-the dish-wa shing, the
bread-baking, the bed -making, the
marketing, and the mending!
Terrible jobs, those!

with happiness that fairly hurt.
A contract! A steady salary! A
chance, at last, after all these
months of -waiting-wait-
ing. It seemed too wonderful to
be true.
Her voice came at last, small
and suffocated.

Bobbie nodded.

spreading it out over the table.
Then it must have been Andy!
"And l missed him. Bobbie said
to herself, and wondered why her
heart felt so heavy, all of a sud
den.
Then an automobile horn broke
the Sunday stiffness Of Las
Palmas Street, and she forgot all
about Andy and his long-distance
telephoning.
She pulled her little red felt hat
down over her eyes and ran out
to Gus.
Deserted Studio
The Magnifica studio was as
silent as a deserted village when
the big green car rolled into it's
paved courtyard.
Gus unlocked the door Of his lit
tie office on the ground floor of
the administration building, and
showed Bobbie in ahead of him.
On his desk lay a heap of bright
colored GARMENTS. Among them
Bobbie caught sight of blond
wig, with long blond braids. At

remark was going to lead her
that afternoon.
Gus laughed. "All right, well

I'll show you just where to start,

All Set
Bobbie wondered what he
meant, as she took off the blond
wig, the white muslin bodice,
the blue skirts and the wooden
shoes OF Dutch Gretchen. In
five minutes she was back in the
little white sports dress and the
tiny felt hat that had been
