 CHAPTER XVII
 About the middle of January Eve received a letter from Irene Prentiss in New York. one para graph of that letter was destined to change the trend of events for Eve and Dick Rader.
 "since you have decided to be- come a business woman," Irene wrote, "don't you think you should get more for your money than the purchase of Q few household gadg- cts you would ultimately buy. any how? Why don't you invest your earnings in some of tho stocks that are SO good now? You can build up q. nice little fortune for your self and be independent of your husband. There is such a thing as letting your money work for you. you know. And think of all the things you could do with some extra cash. How about a trip to Europe, for instance? want to 20 but I certainly don't intend to spend my hard earned salary cheeks on the trip. I've done pretty we'll during the last two years, buying low and selling high. l ex- pect to do even better this year. Really I wish you would get in on some of the following which have been making excellent show ings-"
 Here Irene listed several stocks, the mere names of which were ex- citing to Eve. If Irene could make money from her earnings so could she, Eve reasoned.
 She put the letter in her purse and turned her attention back to the layout on her desk. Bixby's had secured the stock of an orien- tai rug dealer who was retiring from business and leaving the city. The advertising office was draped with gorgeous Persion rugs and Marya was aglow with eagerness as she worked at her drawing board. once she looked up and ex- claimed. "oh. if only could do these in color"
 "You can have your saruks and Boknaras, said Arlene. "but I've a yen for room-size Chinese rug. If ! ever find a man who will buy me one I'll drape myself around his neck for life."
 Eve smiled as she fastened the sheets of copy together with a clip, She always felt sense of pride when Barnes entrusted the prepar. atlon of a full page advertisement to her. To-day she was more than usually pleased. Oriental rugs heretofore had been something. ts write about. Now, after reading Irene's letter. they had become . definitely reality. Some day she too, might own such lovely russ
 Her Interest was aroused and she determined to follow Irene'i suggestion. For the present. how ever, she decided to keep aIl thil d secret from Dick. After she had made q great deal Of money, she would surprise hlm wish the news
