should feel proud of her.
So she wandered about the room
singing softly, pulling out dresser
drawers and closing them as she Sc
lected undergarments and hose
Some one gave a light tap on the
door. Before Judith had time even
TO call out the door opened and
Tony's head emerged through mar
row slit
Morning. Judith" she said
cheerfully. Aren't you surprised to
see me up?"
"Rather!" Judith answered good
naturedly. What is it-excitement
about meeting the young man."
"Oh, mol" Tony insisted, shaking
her head in firm denial. Much
more important things on my mind
this morning than men.
Judith, I've an appointment at
the hairdreSser's at 1870. Carl is
such particular hairdreSSer, too. I
simply don't dare miss date. You
have to sign up for 'em days and
days ahead. Will you mind if I
dash into town for my appointment
ment and then meet you at /
o'clock for lunch?"
No" said Judith, who did mind,
but couldn't very easily object.
That's quite all right, Tony
Where's the place I'm to meet
your"
AT the Rookery. It's a little place
on Madison that I'm crazy about
Wait-I'l find the address"
TINE door closed. Five minutes
l. later it opened and Tony's heed
/ appeared once more.
Here" she said. 81 wrote 1t down.
And of course you'll have Bert drive
in. He knows where it is. Taken
me there lots of times
Tony hurled a folded piece of
paper across the room. 1t fell in
Judith'S lap.
The older girl picked it up and
read the address.
oh. yes" she said. 81 know where
this is. All right, I'll meet you at
o'clock sharp
"Just go in and say you want
Tony knights table" the girl in
the doorway instructed. Mrs.
Wayne, who runs the place, knows
me"
Judith nodded her head.
"I1l be there at one" she re-
peated.
Thanks a lot. Bye-bye!" Tony
disappeared and the door closed.
/ Judith found her purse and
iammed the scrap Of paper into it.
/ 1t was certainly very chummy and
pleasant to have Tony visiting back
and forth across the hallway Well,
the luncheon should be a great sue
cess. Certainly no one could be in
more angelic mood than Tony
! seemed to be this morning.
Very leisurely judith continued
dressing. She even took time for
a shampoo which left her golden
locks soft and cleaning.
Bert was instructed to have the
car at the entrance way at las.
/ II was never more than a twen-
/ ty-f1ve- minute run into the city
but noon traffic was slow judith
was taking every precaution TO be
prompt.
At 1918 Judith Knight, feeling
she was looking very well indeed,
closed the door of the house behind
her. came down the walk and
stepped into the limousine.
She gave Bert the address Tony
had written and sank back against
the comfortably upholstered cush-
ions.
Judith loved the car and always
enjoyed the ride into the city. To
sit back in the big car with a liv-
cried chauffeur in front and glide
over smooth pavementS was a SER
sation which not lost its novelty.
Traffic delays which she had an
ticipated did not develop. 1t was
ten minutes to when Bert brought
the car up to the curb in front OF
The Rookery."
Judith stepped out and instructed
! the driver to return for her at 2.
1.-THE Rookery" was really familiar
territory. Judith had never been II
the place. but she had passed il
often during her employment al
Hunter Brothers. It was not more
than a block and a half's walk from
the publishing house.
She never had ventured inside
knowing full well that its a la carte
price list was not meant for hel
purse.
Today she opened the door anc
stepped in.
