why don't you hire a private
subway and try it out?' Dick asked
rather acidly. Dorothy had no in
tendon Of seeming snobbish, but he
was afraid Sheia might not under
stand this.
You know what I mean" insisted
Dorothy. She smiled into Sheila's
face as the car turned into the park
and headed northWard. Let's get
this settled We lured the girl into
this car with a promise of taking
q home. Actually nothing is far
,ther from my mind
Il want to spend the evening with
you, Sheila, if you'll stand for it. II
you two don't want to be my guests
for dinner, how about both of lis
being Dicks guests?"
Help" hoWled Dick amiably
I'll feed Sheila any time, but once
a day is all I can stand with you!'
Then let's go Dutch at an auto
mat suggested Sheila.
"Fine!" Dorothy agreed gayly.
"The very thing!' She leaned
forward to give instructions to
the chauffeur.
.DorOthy!"' Dick burst out pro-
teStingly. Listen I've an idea.
1 couldn't do another lick Of work
today if my life depended on it.
Suppose we take Sheila home if
She really wants to go there.
Then well go shopping at the
Italian grocer's and III make
some of my famous spaghetti.
Wen throw a party at my apart
ment. How is thatl"
You wouldn't do it last week
when I asked you to, would you?"
retorted Dorothy with pretended
wrath. "Sheila, I certainly wish
I had your influence over him.
It's amazing! 1, for one, think
that's a grand suggestion, though.
viii you Gomez"
Sheila glanced inquiringly in
Dicks direction you're sure we
w@n't be in the way? You dom
want to work?"
"Say, 1 wouldn't miss the chance
to show you what a cook 1 am for
anythingl It's my most charming
accomplishment.
Then suppose we turn about.
1t isn't necessary for me to go
home, unless you think 1 should
dress"
TIME other two declared she
Il looked perfect, and presently
the car was gliding down Tenth
avenue toward Greenwich Village.
They reached a neighborhood Of
little shops offering real Italian
spaghetti, uncooked; an array of
cheeses; huge black olives; squash
to be cooked in the Italian fashion,
and huge poes, tied up fresh, hot
and odorous.
Think of the calories!" exclaimed
Sheila, laughing, as Dick seemed
bent on further purchases.
That's something neither of you
two need to worry about" he re-
torted
Dicks east side apartment over
looked the river. When they reached
the place, Sheila decided it suited
y him perfectly. The furnishings did
not seem expensive, but there was
an air of comfort and quiet good
taste.
Its really just workshop" Dick
explained The living room in which
they stood was large and restful. a
few easy chairs stood about and
there was a fireplace with simple
graceful lines.
A large table, Uttered with pa
pers, stood near the window, flanked
with typewriter, a supply of pointed
pencils, and yellow and white pa
per.
Richard Stanley Third writes the
great American play!" sang out
Dorothy in some disdain. Richard
Stanley Second-to say nothing of
Richard Stanley First-vould be
more gratified if the young man re-
turned to Brockton to learn the
shoe business"
shes jealous because she doesn't
even know how to spell" Dick said.
Hes jealous himself" returned
Dorothy.
"Amuse yourselves, children, while
I try to get this stuff on the table,
DIX went on, undiSturbed.
Sheila sank into chair. There
was fine view here of the river. II
was getting dark outside. The slow
moving ferries gave forth twinkling
lights.
Other boats, laden with cargo
=, moved slowly up and down. Long
Island City, chained to Manhattan
by rope of twinkling lights lay
across the brief stretch of water
Night had softened the grim
buildings skirting the waters edge
and had given the scene a touch OF
theatrical glamour.
Life is like that" Sheila thought
YEARLY. Glamour hiding uglineSS.
she was tired from the days work
Dicks apartment seemed a haven
of rest
The dinner which Dick finally SET
before them really was excellent. II
was served in buffet fashion before
the fireplace, Dorothy chatting gay
", fitting about gathering up pep
per and salt, diving into the ice
box, running hither and thither to
wash a fork. to corral a napkin.
Il thought you went to Rome to
study" she vouchSafed. Not to
learn cooking. This is the best food
you've ever offered me-"
I'm offering this to Sheila. You
Just happened to be along" Dick
