 CHAPTER xXVII
 Happy shut the door of the dressing room behind her. "So help me, Sheiia," she exclaimed, "I believe you're in love-"
 Cold cream jar suspended in midair, Sheila stopped short in her preparations before the mir TOT. Towel pinned firmly around her head, eyes critically consider ing her reflection, she spoke care- fully.
 "in love? Why. my dear Jap-
 Jappy tossed aside her coat, ripped off her hat, and, sinking into chair, began to unfasten her strap pumps. She was late by recognized standards but, being Happy, she would probably reach the wings n good four minutes ahead of Shella.
 "That's what I said = in love! I've spoken to you twice and you haven't answered.. And, speaking of love, who was the Romeo you were with last night? And the night before? And to-day at lunch ?"
 Sheila rose from tho dressing table, fastening her headdress, slipped off her kimona and drew her costume over her head.
 "You'll be latc," she warned tho other girl.
 "rll make 1t. Just saw Mckee getting in."
 "McKeo doesn't open tho show"
 "1l be on time." Happy faced the mirror, spreading cold cream expertly, rapidly. A dusting of powder, rouge. blue lines about the eyes. "Whats his name, Shella? You're beginning 10 worry me?" In tho mirrior, with out seeming to do 50, she eyed her friend sharply. "roo bad we're leaving tonight" Happy went on.
 "I'm not going to leave. I'm staying over. I'll make the jump Monday morning. There's . train."
 "oh!" Tho monosyilable was expressive. Shoila usually liked to spend Sunday In the town where the show played on Monday rest ing, shampooing, going over her wardrobe, doing her mending. To rernain behind for Sunday, a drcary day among strangers, meant just ono thing, Sheila must be very much In love.
 "Who is he?" Happy asked finally. "I can at least wish you luck"
 SheIla told her hls name was Jerry Wyman. Just nlce boy who worked in n factory. Qc had shown her tho litle houses where employees lived. Little houses with tiny lawns and gardens, ironing boards that went back into tho wall, showers, electric refgigorators, every convenience.
 "Did you discuss rents" Happy wanted to know.
 "Dorlg Haynes married that automobile salesman we met in CarrsvIllc," sheila said irreie- vanity.
 "And Grace Gordon married q cotton millionaire. But you notice she's back on Broadway"
 "The stngo was all Grace cared about" Shelln protested.
 "Five minutes!" droned the call boy and for four of them con- vcrsntion was suspended. In the furry of excitement Jnppy's shoes could not Do found until she lo- cated them In tho eretonne pocket of tho dressing chair.
 As, Shela waited in tho wings sho thought happily of Jerry. Yes, gho was in love with him. She was sure of II.
