Every Home Maga- zine and Rolf works for the Atlas Advertising Company. Janet in. sists they must have $500 in Q savings account before they can be married.
 She hurries home from the of. flee one Saturday to prepare Q surprise birthday dinner for Rolf. On the way she sees e couple entering the fashionable Brewster Hotel Coffee Shop and at first thinks the young man is Rolf. Afterwards she decides she was mistaken.
 The dinner party is Q success. Rolf tells Janet he cannot see her next day because he is en. tertaining an Out-Of-tOwn friend. Sunday proves to be O gloomy day. Janet visits with MOLLIE LAMBERT, who lives across the hall. Returning to her room, she encounters young man she has never seen before. He introduces himself as a new roomer in the roOming house and says his name Is GRANT.
 Rolf takes Janet to lunch and later breaks a dinner engage. ment. That same night Mollie tells Janet sIle saw Rolf entering a theater with another girl.
 
 CHAPTER VI
 Wide-eyed, staring into tn, darkness, Janet Hill told hersel for the hcndredth time that thert must be an explanation of wha had happened. Of course there wa! an explanation!
 She couldn't sleep. What wa. the use of trying? She lay ther, in bed telling herself over ant over it was all a mistake. Mollit hadn't meant any harm. She ha{ only seen someone else ani thought it was Rolf. That wa. what had happened. Of course f was.

 T ought to get up and bathe my eyes," she told herself "They'll be red in the morning I ought to stop thinking and go to sleep" But then there was the whole thing to battle over again. sht had seen Rolf so little lately. Sh' had been lonely all evening,
 "I - won't - cry!" Janet in sisted.
 She turned again on the pillow Life without Rolf? She couldn imagine that. Every plan she hat made, every thought for the fu ture centered about Rolf. Tn: savings, the things they had take about, the little home! How coult any of that come true withou Rolf?
 she lay staring at the dark cell ing, wondering about all this Then with a shudder she buried
