an ounce OF. cleverness i'll ner- !
mean, you and I both could give
her fits. And there she Is. sailing
about In q car as big as a bus and
wearing pearls as big as marbles"
He must have been crazy" re-
peated Judy absently.
He was-dead crazy. You see
that's the way with girls when
they're clever, Judy"
But you said she wasn't clever"
Not clever at her Job. ! meant;
but clever as the devil when 1t came
to hooking old Everglade, you betl
She wasn't the kind OF girl q chap
like that marries!"
But he did marry herl" Judy
said with a sudden snap, like q fish
biting.
"oh. yes. he married her all
right"
Why. then?"
You goosel Because he was mad
about her and couldn't get her any
other way"
OH" said Judy.
1t was a whispered exclamation,
Just a soft expelling OF her breath.
Thoughts were taking shape in her
mind. Fury and hatred and revenge
had been seething there for days,
but never any coherent plan. There
was none now-only the picture Of
yellow-haired girl in the big car,
and the handsome man hanging
over her. his eyes alight, his plea
sure hers, his will and his life Just
a couple OF toys in her torn.
That was an ideal Everglade had
been mad about Gertie Clarendon,
and he had to marry her. Perhaps
in the beginning he had thought
that she was mot the sort of girl
one could marry" Perhaps she had
been to him only a little Judy
Grant: but Gertie Clarendon had
been clever. Judy laughed as If
something had amused her.
Before she reached home. Judy
bought an evening paper. One Of
the first things she saw was this u
nouncement:
Jasmin sings and Gossteivitsch
plays at Mr.. Bruce Gideon's big
party on Park Avenue tonight.
Judy read the half column de-
voted to Gideon's entertainment
very carefully. There was a de-
scription Of the salon. which she
learned for the first time was the
most beautiful room in New York,
and OF the music room. where she
had danced to Guarvenius. And
Gregor Gossteivitsch, who had
played for her. was TO play TO the
guests. and Carlo Jasmin. the great
est living tenor. was to sing, and
the flowers were to cost so many
hundreds. and the supper was to
be served at separate tables in the
ricture gallery on the floor above.
She read that Madame de Toros.
Mr.. Gideon's sister. was acting
hostess: that she was famous for
her elegance and perfect taste In
in dress. and that she would prob
ably wear the magnificent Albenza
pearls.
.Judy's thoughts went back TO the
~irl in the ear. She would probably
be there-Gertie Clarendon. At any
rate. she could be there; but little
Judy Grant couldnt-oh, dear. no!
She did not know a single person
in Gidecn's real world-only the
two or three u~ninteresting men who
had been to lunch with them, and

Judith Grant. artists model, lives
In Greenwich Village with Chummy
Morley, q lovely girl who lost her
| memory seven years ago when Alan
| Steyne, her lover, disappeared. He
returns but Chummy does not rec
ognize him: he and Judith fall in
love, and he tells Judith he never
loved Chummy and never knew that
| Chummy loved him. However, she
regains her memory, and Steyne
feels In honor bound to ask her 70
marry him. Judith goes 10 the
teacher Guarvenius to study dane
ing, and accepts the offer Of rich
Bruce Gideon TO star her IN a must
cal show. despite Steyne's warnings
Chummy accidentally learns that
she failed TO recognize Steyne when
he first came back to her, and II
disturbs her.
NOW GO On WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XXI
judy and Clara jerks came out
of Guarvenius' house together. II
was a very bot afternoon. Summer
had suddenly descended on the
land. The asphalt streets were soft
the reek OF gas smoke was nau-
seous, and every city sound was in
tensified a hundredfold: and yet II
was only the beginning OF spring.
Clara jerks was there because
Guarvenius had been kind enough
through Judy, TO make her tree to
use his big rooms for practiCs. Her
part III the theater duologue re-
quired some acrObatic ana gym
naStic dancing, and she had devel-
oped some ~screamingly funny steps
She was almost a transformed
being these days. Prosperity spoils
small-natured folk, but 1t makes
big-natured ones bigger still. Clara
was poisoning. her blunt face,
humorous eyes, and mouse brown
hair would never be beautiful, but
she waS not nearly so plain as she
had been a few weeks ago.
AS they turned into one OF the
busy streets, the traffic held I'D a
large limousine in which sat a man
ana q woman. The man was hand
some, well past his youth, with
lines IN his bronZed face that told
Of hard living. He had a grizzled
mustache and dark hair. He was
leaning toward the woman, gazing
at her with absorbed interest, talk
ing animatedly, obviously finding
IN her the one thing that mattered
to him in life.
His companion was quite young.
She had yellow-brown hair that
grew round her pale face in rather
fantastic curls. Her eyes were a
vivid turquoise blue. Judy'S chief
impression of her was that she was
bored, and that she looked cool on
this sultry day, swathed in trans
parent black, with a large lace hat.
ana that she wore a long string OF
pearls Of fabulous size.
That's Gertie Clarendon, that
was" said Cl "a excitedly. do you
remember her az the Victorian2 She
was only in the chorus"
POOL How cool she lookedl"
sighed Judy. Yes, I remember her
name"
She Is Mrs. Everglade now" her
companion went On. That's her
husband with her"
He looks swell"
Sure. Don't you remember the
wedding? They said he divorced
his first wife to marry her."
Lord. he must have been crazy
And she only a chorus grill"
Eyes, a girl like you and me

that the millionaire would turn Up
himself.
She was right. He strolled in, as
III by chance. toward the end OF the
sitting. 5tornaway stopped paint

nod from her stiff pose, yavned
and stretched her slender arms
high over her head.
