Then he laid gloved hand over her
own and spoke softly.

Well, those days are over and. I'm

you're wearing don't mean any more
to me than the pound of candy did

Steve, 1t isn't the cost"
"Okay. Then it's the spirit be
hand that handful of clothes and
not their value. So that's that"
1t was not that at all, but Mona
decided on silence. Shed take the
clothes back tomorrow and with
Lotties help see that they were re
ceived.
Il know you'd feel-well, just
right--in my rig Pilgrim picked for
you. We almost had every dress in
the place on the model before
found just the right one!"
You went yourself, Steve? Did
you see Lotttie?"
But Lottie had not been in evil
dence. Probably she was resting up
for tonight's date. Frequently Lot
! tie strained her long connection with
Pilgrims to what Mona thought
must be near the breaking point.
1t was just as we'll that Steve
hadn't seen her. Lottie had liked
Steve. even when he was pennilesS.
Now that he was apparently wealthy,
she might make a play for him.
Mona thought, smiling little, that
nothing would endear Steve to her
quite so much as Lottie's making
that play.
A shaft of jealousy shot through
her and she laughed Ggain. Jealous!
Did that mean she was falling for
old Steve and abandoning her plan
to marry man of wealth and posi-
/ ton? Some one like Barry Town

They were moving through the

enjoyed it. Too often she had
