 CHAPTER XI
 1t was June. shella was still playing split weeks with Roseoe's act which had not been boked for e solid engagement after all. But split weeks hore and thero were better than nothing Sheila solemn. ly agreed.
 Dick Stanley approved of tho arrangement because 1t kept her a.A hAa fnnanAANlU He would call for her and tako tho Casino In the park among tho early lunchers. Then, if Shoila did not have to play matinee, they would drivo through Wostehester , or out on Long Island where they would swim and spond leisurely hours on tho beach.
 | Then, for days perhaps, Dick would seem to forget her. Ho might mako q flying trip homo or to his famlly's summon cottage, a paiatiai affair of which ho spoke 3n an off-hand manor ns tho s"shaok." Sometimes Sholln knew ho had engagements with girls In Trevor Lanes Long Island set,
 Dick made no excuses, asked no questions about how Sheila spont the time during his absences. Ho would seem to just drop her after Q long and ardent rush in which her heart would leap In tumult at his volce over the telephone or skip a boat whom, running down .the. stairs to greet him in Ma LowelPs lower hall, she would soe his Drowned faeo and broad smile.

Tho eompari- son could not help but Do to Sheiia's disadvantage,
 So she bought dresses--pleked ur. horo and there In basemonts, some touch betraying tholr ehenp- ness removed by Shcila's own skillful fingers, some bit of hand. work added possibly. She bought hats and was fortunate that al- most any hat looked well on her. She could wear Q basement hat at just tho right angle and make it iook--well, almost Fifth Avenue. shoes and hose remained serious problems. Cheap ones Just would not do. It was diseouraging buai- ness, trying to appear in a now outflt every once in a while and at tho samo time to save money
 This morning, attired in a bluo linen froek with finely embrold- cred collar and cuffs of white, n small white hat pulled down over her satin hair, Dick thought Shella had never looked SO lovely,
 He looked up from his coffee, smiling idolontiy, You certainly made a hit with Mandrake all right" he said.
 Sheilas eyes widenod. Man drake?" she repeated, her voice filled with uneoneealed amaSe- mont
 "Mandrake. Sure! You know you saw him at Trevs party"
 "of course 1 saw Mr Mandrake. But did ho sec me?"
 Dicks eyes twinkled, "Iie ecr- tainly did. Called Trevor on the telephone tho very next. mern- ing"
