NOW GO on WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER THIRTY-N NINE
The girl in the gold chair turned
toward the door Of the dressing
room eXpeCtantly. She was wearing
a beige suit trimmed with huge
rings Of fur at the shoulders.
On her head was a becoming little
hat of the same color. Her shoes,
gloves, and hand bag were of iden-
teal hue
As she looked at Sheila she smiled
in recognition. Sheila returned the
smile hesitantly. Should she speak
TO this girl who looked so familiar?
Who was she? Sheila knew she
had seen her and talked with her
somewhere. But where? Who could
She be?
Nodding slightly, still smiling,
Sheila walked to the far end of
the room where Henri, resplendent
in striped trousers, morning coat
and gardenia, was whisking about,
rubbing his hands together and
beaming.
He was a vastly different Henri
now than when Sheila had met him
an hour earlier. She smiled at the
thought. She herself, changing
from her own inexpensive frock to
this costly model, appeared to be a
different person, too.
AS she passed Henri she glanced
ut him and he bowed just as he
would have bowed to valued
customer. She was amused, but
took her cue from that.
She was to walk about, to sit
down, inquire about prices and fab
RIGS and appear to be one of the
shoppers.
Without conceit, Sheila knew
that no one in the room was bet
ter dressed than herself Henri
had seen to that.
He had selected costume for her
that was exactly right to bring out
her excellent colOring, the perfec-
ton Of her figure.
She walked easily and gracefully
That was due to her years Of train
ing as a dancer. Sheila carried her
self beautifully erect.
She moved about the room, then
sank into a chair Henri nodded
slightly in approval.
DRESENTLY he came toward her
4 you're doing WE'LL he approved
1.-TWO women have asked me who
you are already
Does that help?' asked Sheila.
Henri raised his eyes. "Help?"
They will say if I can make you
look so beautiful l can do the same
for them.
They know the models are hired
for their looks and ability to wear
clothes. They think you are CHI
ent like themselves. Yes, my dear,
it helps"
Shall I talk to any one?" asked
Shcila as Henri prepared to move
away.
of course. If any one asks ques-
lions, you can say Henri made your
frock, so long as you do it without
seeming to introduce the subject
That's the idea You're doing fine.
He moved away and as he did
so the girl in beige approached.
you don't remember me, dc
you?" she said. Mind if I sit
DOWN" She opened her purse and
drew out a jeweled cigaret case
"Will you join me?" she asked. AZ
Sheila shook her head the other
girl laughed easily.
You haven't been here before
Henri doesn't mind so long as yor
don't burn holes in his mauve car
pet. OF course l know you're Sheila
Shayne, but you don't know me, dc
you?'
I'm afraid don't. You see,
meet so many people"
"Oh, of course. Well, I didn't
expect you would. I'm Dorothy
Trevor. Dick Stanley's cousin
Trevor Lanes cousin, too. Oh-In
bet Trevor got you this job, didn't
hep"
You know I'm working here?
Sheila asked.
Dorothy laughed. "Of course
You're much too good looking to be
doing anything else. I didn't think
YOU bought your clothes here, be-
cause I knew who you were"
She colored and went on quickly
st mean actresses don't shop here
as a rule. Don't misunderstood me
Henri is too expensive for anyone
who knows the value of money
CHE lighted the cigaret and re-
- garded Sheiia. Il hope don
seem terribly rude. but I'm real
" interested in you. Ever since
saw you dance that night at Ire
vor's-'
.As a matter of fact, sang,
Sheila said quietly. She recog
nized the girl now. She was ont
of the cousins from boarding schoo
for whom Lane had given the party
Indeed you did" the girl re
piled without embarrassment. Blu
YOU danced with Dick afterward
And 1 saw you several times dane
ing at the Club Volens last summer
; I think you're wonderful"
Sheila could not help liking thi
girl. The admiration in her eye
and tone were not feigned Sh
could not have been more than Is
in spite of her veneer of sophiStica
ton.
Il can't be very good or I'd hav,
Job now" Sheila replied mod
eStly.
The other girls eyes widened
"But this is a job, isn't it? I'd love
TO wear all these pretty frocks ans
walk around and listen TO Henr
ravel Ill bet he can rave, tool"
"Oh, he's all right
