 CHAPTER XVIII
 In spito of all hor protests Shoila was Co need money before the rehearsal period was over and tho play ready for tho road. She hooded it Co buy clothes, for one thlng-nieo sorvleablo travelling froets and shoes. Shoila thor oughly disllked tho ehoap, high heolod pumps tho frlzsled chorus girls woro on tho road, their silk arcasos and bargain basement coats. Tho fact that tho girls couldn't afford better didn't change matters. They could have bought better things for tho Saino price. They should haVo learned such things Just us Shoila had learned thom. Instead they laughed at tho trim, twecd-auited girls they saw getting into roadstors in small towns. laughed at their Bport shoes. tho plain, expensive travellng frocks they encountered now and thon in dining eafs.
 Those girls in tweed suits wore 10 ShCIla the most envlable erea- Iures in tho world. Sho meant to show those members of small town nrIstocraey that she, too. know how to dress. Perhaps somo day she could 1.-Two tho lfe they lived hnvo a Homo, e lawn, flowers. and hor trunks and suitcasos out of sight in tho attle.

 ono of these was rood. Sheila thought, shumofully that she should not have turned Dick down ao definitely. His luncheon and dinner invitations had been c tre. hOip. Of course it wasn't roally fair Co put it that way. She went Co dinner with Dick because ahe enjoyed being with him. 'rc "sing for ones supper" as the girls called being agreeable to q dinner companion because one needed food, was ono thing. Tt dlno with Dick because sho liked him was another.
 Of course there was Jim Blaine Froduontiy sho dlned with him There were ono or two others wht called her occasionally. With tive invitations from Dick. two iron Jim and possibly one other cnei week Ahelln had managed fairl' well. Breakfasts were inexpenslv' and sho never ate lunch.
