G6~@ Love q eve < zA INN Wing

They descended to a room opposite
the wings, beautifully decorated in
white and gold. In the center was
a billiard table, and great, soft, easy
chairs were grouped about. mo
matter what its color scheme may
be this room is called the green
ROOM" Dick explained. 1T is the
/ actors sitting room Later on you
will see It in use"
An organ had been installed and
was being tested. Snatches Of melo-
dies filled the air. Dick glanced
about and saw no one observing
them. He gathered Eve close in the
shadow of the wings, for a brief in
slant.
The first kiss on the new stage, :"
he murmured.
1--WE was always to remember
II that Sunday. It gave her her
first insight into the romance Of
building. Dicks employers. she
knew, specialized in the construc-
ton Of threaters, but it was not I'M
til that morning that she appre-
ciated the extreme skill required
for this branch of work.
The day meant more than that
to Eve. The uneasy feeling she
had known for the past week seemed
to slip away from her Dick was
all kindness and consideration and
Eve was ashamed of the fact that
she had doubted him, even for
moment.
She curled up in a lounge chair
that afternoon with a new book.
She made it a point to bring home
a book from the circulating library
each weekend. After she finished
reading the book Eve always en-
tered its title and the name Of its
author in a tiny notebook she car
ried in her purse. She had begun
this system when she was in high
school and had followed it faith
fully ever since.

MONDAY morning Eve returned
A'A to her work as though in
spired. She thought of the &C
tresses soon to come to Lake City
for the opening of the theater and
decided to make an especial bid for
their patronage in the store adver-
Using she wrote. Barnes COM
mended her for her foresight.
That noon Eve accompanied
Marya to Scottish tearoom where
a twinkling-eyed Highland lassie
told their fortunes by reading the
leaves in their teacups. Eve at
tached no significance to the proph-
ecies made for her, but Marya was
apparently overjoyed because the
seeress predicted she would soon be
married.
NTHEN the home edition of the
w evening newspaper was deliv-
cred to the office Eve turned to the
financial pages. Strange, she thought,
how light-hearted she had been but
an hour before and now her world
was plunged into gloom, Pure Soap,
Inc, had gone down point.
1t was hard for her to concen-
trate on her work for the next hour.
AS soon as the stock edition was due
she sent Charles down to the corner
TO purchase copy for her. Her
hopes returned as she noted that
Pure Soap, Inc, had regained its
loss and closed at the same figure it
had been maintaining for a week.
The next day, however, there was
much trading in Pure Soap, Inc,
and it gained three points. Ewes
hopes scared. She walked about
the office as though entranced.
Why the effervescence?" asked
Arlene.
Eve merely smiled and did not
answer.
Dick was glad to find her so
cheerful that evening.
The next day Pure Soap, Inc,
gained two points. 1t seemed to
Eve that this was too good to be
/ true.
Thursday the stock gained three
more after a day of brisk trading.
1t f1uctuated a bit then and closed
Friday exactly 10 points above the
price at which Eve had made her
/ initial investment.
