The ruby glass globe on
the hall light shone as
friendly as a little sun when
she pushed open the door.
She went straight up the
stairs to her own room.
In the darkness she I'M
dressed and got into bed.
It seemed to her as If
she could not face her own
reflection in the toilet glass,
after the things that Mrs.
LaWller had said Of her and
Alice that night.
The last thing she heard
as she dropped off into
restless sleep was the sound
of Johnny and Alice talking
things over in the front
parlor downstairs.
The Washington times., 1929-09-14

The next morning Alice
came down to breakfast.
That, Of itself, was a
wonder. For Alice, who
never went to bed before
midnight, seldom got up be-
fore noon.
For what was there for
her to get up fort : : She
was ga marriage girl" just
as some girls are business
girls. 4
Her whole job in life was
to get herself married. And
the best way to get someone
lin her case, Johnny Law
ler-to marry her was to
fascinate him with her fresh
ness and beauty.
For freshness and beauty
there was nothing, 50 Alice
said, like a long beauty
sleep. She certainly never
missed hers.
She had Just risen from
her beauty sleep. But she
was not beautiful. She was
not beautiful at all. She
looked sticky.
Her light hair was pulled
back into water-Wave combs
and covered with q blue-silk
net. Her little face glistened
with cold cream, and her
eyebrows and 1ashes were
pale yellow except for one
trace Of mascara on one eye

And, easily persuaded as
she always was, Ann Marie
The Washington times., 1929-09-14

Then she launched into a
long and slangy story about
the happenings Of the night
before.
And if it was that you
was a daughter Of mine,
Mrs. Leezy declared at the
end Of it, "you would never
marry into that family.

AT lunch time she got
dressed and went downtown
to meet Johnny Lawler.
AT supper time she came
home with a large diamond
blazing on her engagement
finger and d bunch Of sweet
peas Huttering upon her
shoulder. She wore the sat
isfied, sly and smiling look
of the cat that has just
eaten the canary as she went
around the house, showing
off her ring.
Alice had put it over!
The next morning, while
Ann Marie was at the tele-
phone trying to drum up
some business for herself,
Neal Forsythe came to the
house and asked for her.

said to Mrs. Ieezy. "The
other night at the LAWYERS
he wasn't very nice to me-
and I'd made up my mind
not to have anything to do
with any of them any
more.
But while she was talk
ing, she was smoothing down
the unruly waves Of her
hair and pulling the front
Of her smock into straight
folds.
She went down the stairs.
On the way she made up
her mind not to be easy
with him. He had treated
her badly, and she was not
going to forgive him for it
on the spot. : : = She hard
ened her heart against him.
he was standing in the
bay-Window, with his back
toward her. He swung
around as she came into the
room, and their eyes met.
An odd little thrill that was
like an electric shock went
all over Ann MARES body.

for the way he's treated me.
The thought flashed through
her brain. but I don't be-

True Story

Inc mann road on the
outskirts Of Seaview
had just closed for the sea-
son. A girl with chestnut
hair and wonderful brown
eyes stood on its yellow
steps, looking back a bit re-
gretfully at its oniate orange
and black front. Beside her
was a hatless young man
who had only a moment be-
fore leaped out Of the road
ster parked across the way
between the two great elms
through which the bay could
be seen.

said the girl somewhat rue
fully as she folded into q

apron and q pink lace cap.
The young man gazed at
her whimsically admiringly.

"Please?" he pleaded.
Three minutes later they
were out Of the car and
seated on the great butt of
an old mast, half buried in
the white sand.
For moments they were
silent. The soothing swish
of the water alone was heard.
Then the young man reached
for one of the tanned hands
that lay clasped in the girl s
lap. She drew it away and
turned her gaze fully upon
him.
You were speaking Of
being out Of a job, Alice,
he ventured after 4 moment.

around her.

said and walked out Of the
room.
Down the narrow hall,
past the liring-room where
she had spent so many lively
pleasant evenings, she went
out into the darkness of the
side-porch.
The roadster stood in the
driveway. But she did not
get into it $50 Not for

that lined it. The houses Of
wealthy people who had al

Macy family.
But they II all probably

and she did not care.
She was going to get out
of this snobbish little town
where you weren't anybody
