friendllness knew no, reserves oand recognized few rebuffs. There came the inevitable day when Su- san lunched with Ray again. Rays lunch orders were always faintly preposterous. Her favorite selec- ton was ham and cheese sand. which, q bowl of baked beans and n chocolate matted milk. It was what she had ordered to-day.
 Susan watched the other( girl, fascinated. Ray was talking vol- ubly, "i said to Mamma, l said, It's funny but l haven't seen q thing of Susan since the night we had the double date?'" She sank her sharp, little white teeth Into the appalling sandwich and cons tinued In q slightly muffled voice, "I said It's funny, but 1t klndn seemed like Susan didn't have a good time that night.
 Rays round, incredibly fringed eyes searched Susan's. The other girl wriggled uncomfortably.
 What always say is" Ray went on, "when you get a fellow who's n good spender like Waring you ought to be thankful. Most of these kids around are penny pinch. CTS, and If they take girl to c movie they think they're showing her high life or something. War. ing's different. He knows his way around, and baby, can he dance"
 Susan started to speak but. dis- covering Rays question had been purely rhetorical and n reply was not expected, she sank back In her chair again. Tho monologue con- tinued.
 If n girl played her cards right and was really smart ] thinE she could land Warlng. Hc's making good money" (susan wondered ir. | relevantly what other sort of money there might be) land l think he'd like to get married again." Susan made a low md sound which might have been Interpreted ns surprise or agreement. "Ycs, he's | a funny guy" Ray pursued, demol. ishing the last crust and beginning on the baked beans. "ie was mnr- ried q long time, you know, and hls wife gave him the run.nrouhd. ] think" finished Ray, If ths girl wnS the right klnd-7what 1 mean, had little life in her and so forth --he might turn out to be n good husband"
 Demurely Susan inquired what Rays idcn of good husband might be- Ray exDounded her theory gladly. ,'r
 Well, first of all, think a man shouldn't expect n girl ever to put her hands in dish water" she said "When l get married Pm going to live In a hotel and haVe all the meals sent up. I'm going Go have Q mink coat and . permanent wave every three months, Not one of these," (she touched her yellow locks disdaintfully), mot ono of these but an expensive one at that place on Michigan avenue. Then 1 want n sporty roadster and q chow or maybe--f don't know--a Picking ese." Rays exprcssloh was rapt and soulful. Susan wanted to laugh but dared not. As if inter. preting her unspoken thoughts Ray turned to her sharply.
 "You want to take some advice from mo-" she snid oracuiarly. "You want to work things the right way and you'll Eo over big what mean. like . million dollars But you can't go ont tn partics and pull q long face ana expect the boys to like it. No kidding!' Susan stood upI She felt she had had enough of all this If Ra, went on much longer she mighl have to Do rude to her and sht didn't want to do that. Ray Npaid her check, dazzied the fountain bos with a smile and linked her arm com pa nlonably in the other girls 1 "You mind what fsay," she fti. ished. land you'll be sitting pretty.
