We'll. it wasn't your let ter" observed Sadie. Her face was scarlet. She pour ed herself another cocktail, drop ping her cigaret on the rug and twisting her toe on it angrily as she stood up.
 The dirty bum!"
 Honestly, Sadie, if 1t hadn't just happened that the girl he showed 1t to was l. and the girl who wrote it was you. you'd never have thought thing about it.
 Well. maybe I wouldn't. Go on what did he have to say? Told you I was blackmailing him, I sup pose ?"
 Ashtoreth coughed.

Some shack" she observed. If I do say it as chose the stuff" Ashtoreth stood in the middle of the room. There were heavy cur tains drawn across the windows. and an odor of stale incense hung like a dark cloud over the place. The furniture was heavy and ex- pensive. And there was a dread ful abundance of lamps. Well, ain't it some little cab- ir 2" demanded Sadie eXultantly, pulling a slken tassel that hung beneath a rose shade that looked like a huge inverted mushroom.
 There were mulberry hangings and plump satin pillows. and foot rests with fat cushions Ashtoreth felt a sense of oppressive luxury and thought that such a room must make a woman lazy. surfeit- iEg her with indolent ease.
 Wouldn't your mother just love it, thought" Sadie was saying. ''I thought of her when I bought that velours suite, Ash. Oyer-stuffed just like your mother loves And that's a sort of velvet tapestry on the back. It's real refined. think"
 Sadie patted her velours lovingly
 Guess how much it cost. Ash"
 "Oh, ! couldn't I never bought any furniture in my life" protest | ed Ashtoreth. "Mother'd adore | those lamp shades. too. She's sim ply crazy about all shades of pur- pie and rose" Lovely. ain't they?" agreed the proud possessor of eight purplish chiffon shades And see my rug. Ash"
 "Oh, my."
 If Ashtoreth's exclamation was intellectual, Sadie probably laid it to awe.
 Just as soft as moss" she mur-
 mured.
 And indeed it was. So, for that
 matter, was the divan. And so were the chairs.
 "Sit down." instructed the com- l placent little hostess. 'No-look in 1 the bedroom first. It's just like the movies"
 She led the way in

 Sadie was cutting two oranges and a lemon.

But Ashtoreth had wandered into : the living room. Books. she reflect l ed. were conspicuously absent. Though there were magazines on table behind the divan.

And If don't make the rest of them james look like bunch of pikers! Sit down. Ash. Here's to fun. old dear" But Ashtoreth scarcely touched her lips to the frosted glass. Fun, Sadie!" she echoed. Now for heavens sake, tell me about it."
 Sadie took a carton of cigarets from the table drawer. Did you read" she giggled about the movie actor who said his most embarrassing moment was when he took the blindfold test. and the guy forgot 10 kick him?" Talk about embarrassing mo- ments! My gosh. Ash. never was so embarrassed in my life as when I busted in on you and little pal, Holly"
 She drained her glass and lit cigaret.

 ''Oh. old things - he's awfully keen about archaeology"
 "Arche-what?"
 ''The study of old things" ex- plained Ashtoreth. Ancient peo- pies and their customs. and arts"
 "Oh. And how long since you been studying this arche- business? demanded Sadie suspiciously.
 Ashtoreth remembered her all- night session with Cleopatra and the last of the Pharaohs.
 II don't know much about it, she confessed. with 8 maddening little air Of superiority. so that Sa- die could hardly have guessed how little she did know. But my name. you see. Is Egyptian. and I suppose it rather interested him. Did you know" - and Ashtoreth gloated just a little-'that mother named me for the moon goddess of Egypt? Mir. Hart seemed to think it was beautiful idea"
 Yeah" Sadie scoffed. And what joke that used to be before you got a boss that's awf'lly keen about archaeology There was day. Miss Ritz. you didn't have such regard for your mothers TO- mantical nature. However. let by zones be bygones. as the poet says. Go on with the dirt"
 Well. he noticed my ring. and then he commented on my name. And pretty soon we were sort of chatting-you know how it is."
 "Yes. I know" agreed Sadie dry ly And pretty soon he asked you had you a date for dinner"
 "Oh. mol" Ashtoreth assured her hastily. 'He gave me some let ters, and that was all there was to it. Then this morning he called me in again-he'd just had your let ter. Sadie = and 1t was natural enough. really-he was curious. He asked me what thought of it."

Ashtoreth leaned against the door
 II certainly never Imagined you'd have q room like this. Sadte." she avowed. My dear. that's the pret- tiest satin puff on your bed"
 "Eighty-five dollars!" proclaimed Sadie. fondling it tenderly. "Oh. gee. I've been spending money like l was crazy. Ash.'
 Suddenly she became sad. Come on in the living room." she suggested. and we'll have . good old talk fest. Let me show you the bath first. though. It's all green, Ash, with orchid enamel. And I've got tAe cutest towels you ever saw" +r
 Honestly enthralled. Ashtoreth exclaimed over the rubberized shower curtains. where morning glories climbed against the sheen of lovely green. And the tub, tint ed so delicately 1t looked like a pool of clear green sea. The tiled floor was of the same color and the walls were lavender. Sadie had violet bath salts in great crys- tai jars. And perky little curtains at the window of orchid orga ndy.

 "Adorable!" she cried. T never saw such 6 darling place in my life"
 There were cigaret stubs in the sink and on the electric range. A dirty saucepan on the table and . percolator streaked with coffee. Soiled dishes were piled on one side, streaked with bleeding egg yolks, and cold. fat bacon.
 Its sort of messy" apologized Sadie. Look. dear. did you ever see an electric cocktail shaker? If got any Of that bum gin left we'll have a little drink. and you can see how it works" "Oh, no. thank you" Ashtoreth protested hastily. Honestly, don't care about cocktails. Be-

THIS HAS HAPPENED

 Orchid-whose real name is Ash toreth Ashe-has met, in strangess fashion, with an old friend-Sadie Morton.
 It was Hollis Hart, Ashtoreth's employer. who first called her Or enid, because she was so exquisitely heautiful-but that. really. is another story.
 Sadie Merton also had another name. The name was entirely sa- dies own idea. Mae de Marr" she called herself, because Sadie, she said, was an awful dumb-sounding name Maybe she was right
 Anyhow, as Mae de Marr. she inspired considerable Don QulXotlc chivalry in the heart of the rich and famous Mr. Hart. MT. Hart had actually given her check for slo,- ln0, with which she rented and fur nished lavish apartment and bought herself clothes to gladden. the heart Of a chorus girl. His interest, by the way. was entirely igh-mind- ed. He had, you see, so much money he hardly knew what to do with it.
 Mae" proves an unappreciatiEe little wretch and threatens him with breach of promise. Hart reveals the whole astonishing story to Ashto- rath. As he concludes his narrative, who bursts into the office but Mae de Marr!"
 Hart makes a move to introduce inc girls, but Mae" has recognized Ashtoreth.
 Ashtoreth, who had no idea of the identity of the mysterious Miss de Marr, is humiliated beyond words. She persuades the girl. who begins to cry violently. to. accompany her to the washroom. And presently de- cides to go home with her and in- auire into the astonishing situation.
 She gets permission from the of- flee manager. and they take a taxi to Macs apartment.

Wife Tired Of Being

Radio fan who have missed the
strong, sllyeiy voice OF Gene pelmar,
announcer for station WABC, these

voice with a million or so other
women.
And every twenty-four- year-old wife
knows that's no kind of husband to
have.
So Mrs. Delmar sat down and wrote
herself magazine article, telling just
what 1t felt like to be married to a
voice. She said:
Our little boy thinks that Gene is
just hopeless eccentric who likes to
spend his time curled up in a little
mahogany box. When Gene speaks the
