 CHAPTER xLVI
 Sheila remained at Trevorwood until Monday morning, rising early and driving into the city in Dor othy's big limousine. Dick had de- parted the evening before. Even Dorothy did not know that they were engaged. Sheila and Dick had decided the engagement should be secret for a time.
 The other girls at the shop asked curious questions but Sheila evaded them. She was aware slider, different from themselves. She had never really been one of them. Now the breach was wid- ening.
 Henri greeted her effusively and half an hour later was taking her to task because she had kept him waiting moment. In Hem ri s shop everything moved like clock work. Promptness was an obsession with the designer.

 q meant It," Dick insisted sol- emnly.
 But though he told her again and again how much he loved her Dick did not urge an immediate marriage. Dearest" he said, "I want to buy your wedding ring with money I've earned myself. I've got to prove to you I'm not just a rich mans son. You've al- ways earned your own way. I'm
