 CHAPTER VII
 Eve and Dick stayed at the Hotel Mframar for week.. They usually dined in the marine din- ing room overlooking the lake. Eve enjoyed the formality of their sur roundings and each evening wore a different: costume. She had flair al ,aA fhat though many of the women about her were gowned more expensively few wore smarter costumes. And because she was happy her eyes glowed and smiles curved her lips. When she looked at Dick, correct in his severe evening clothes, she was proud of him. '
 "Dick," she began enthusiasti- callv the fourth night of their stay at the Miramar, i've an idea"
 You're full of ideas" leased Dick. ''What is it now?"
 Lets always dress for dinner. There's no reason why people who have fortunes should mo- nopoIize all the nicities of life. It's fun to change into evening clothes for dinner. Don't you think so?"
 "M-m," answered Dick.
 "Then we'll do it always! Oh, Dick, I'm so glad you see things as I do. You're g. perfect dear to agree with me all the time! I'd hate to have just an ordinary husband. You will let me plan everything the way I want 1t, won't you dear?"

 He took Eve's arm to keep her from slipping on the icy walk. "Eve, sweetheart" he said, T don't like keeping our marriage a secret. As far as I'm concerned there are few to whom 1t matters, but you. dear. have so many friends in the city that 1t is bound to cause complications" ..a
 I'm thinking of my position, With this Dick had to be content.
 Each morning he drove to 'the job before 7:30. Eve, in her smart black business clothes. boarded an eight o'clock trolley. She never glanced at the morning Times un- til she reached the older district of the city where the streets were lined with stores and office build ings. Instead she looked at the beautiful homes along the boule- yard over which she rode. Eve wondered about the people who lived in those houses and was sure she could never be contented until she had such home. The apart ment at the hotel would do, how ever, she told herself, until she and Dick could afford q home like one of those.
 Her promotion at the office had not brought with it the satisfaction Eve had expected. She had not realized how much Alice Marshall had smoothed her way and made things easy for her.
 Eve. was particularly annoyed by
