her a wlSp of silken tan. she had
made up her mind she was going to
have marvellous time and forget all
about her temperanental husband The
clock on the dressing table said 7:3O.
1t was time to meet Batch downstairs
Billie gave her final, careful looking
over and she did the same for her.
They made up their minds they had
i'm proved on nature as much as pos
slble and hurried to take the elevator
to the lobby. Charity felt delicious
little thrills of uncertainty running up
and down her spine. Billie sensed her
mood and took her arm, to say firmly:
None of the old inferiority complex,
lady. or it's you and me all over town
There won't be two sweller looking
danes on Broadway tonight than us.
What more do we need?"
Charity swallowed her fears and
grinned. "Ye-yes, ma'am. I amt
skeered"
When the elevator door opened Batch
and his friend stood waiting for them.
Batch's eyes lighted with delight when
he saw Charity. tall and straight and
smiling, walking toward him. He felt
his heart beating uncomfortably when
he took her hand
Lovely lady!" He forced the old
careless grin. Then he turned to the
tall, dark, young man. Mrs. Temple,
may I introduce DR.. Phillips-and Billie
Miller, DR.. Phillips"
Billie's heart gave hip-f1op of glad
surprise. The doctor was all of six feet
two and the handsomest, dark-haired,
blue-eyed male she'd encountered in
many day, even to the dimple in his
chin. DR.. Phillips was so smitter with
the first look at the stunning model
that he felt like college freshman at
his first prom. When he stood staring
at Billie boyishly. Batch grinned Dis
appointed Bib? That's the trouble with
these blind dates"
The doctor got his bearings and took
Billie's arm, freshly II knew I'd rate
an old gal fat and forty-but come
along. Nobody knows me in this town
anyway"
Billie gave him a little kick in the
shins and the party was on.
1t looked as though every one In
New York had made up their minds to
attend the Casino Roof opening. Batch
was glad he'd had the presence of mind
to reserve a table several days before
when he saw the crowd. He'd ordered
r1ngslde seat where they would be
facing the floor show.
They made their way through the
crowded tables and were just about to
sit down when Charity stopped dead
in her tracks. At the next table OBJ
livious to the world around them, sat
Doug and Yanner.

| That was a relief. When she gave her
self final look in the mirror she knew
she had never looked better. She
hoped her escort could say as much for
himself. Although it would be just her
misfortune to have a little sawed-off
runt of go pawned off ON her. That
was usually her luck.
She wasn't at all thrilled with the
idea of meeting a new man, but she
was more than little excited over
being with Charity when she made her
first night life appearance along the
Rialto.
Sylvia was brushing Charity's hair
when Billie rushed in with. Amt
ne plus ultra?" Billie strutted around
the room so they could look her over.
Sylvia stood in pen-mouthed ad-
miration at the stunning auburn
haired model She was thrilled be-
yond words with the opportunity OF
seeing Mrs. Temple dressed to 60 out
in the evening for the first time.
Sylvia has me all worn out" Char
ity laughed and held up her hands
"She did my nails, gave me massage
and a clay pack, and for the last fif-
teen minutes she's been brushing my
hair to make it shine
Doesn't madame look beautiful
Sylvia gave the black head final pat
Marvellous" Billie agreed, "but wait
till get through with her. You'll see
sumpin'! Now, what had you planned
on wearing?"
Anything you say" Charity sat
back -naturedly. "You started it
now finish the job"
Billie studied moment. "I'm
wearing green. Let's see what would
go best with me? White! You haven't
worn the white taffetta, have you?"
Nope. Get it, will you Sylvia?"
Sylvia came back holding the gown
on her arm. her cheeks pink with ex-
citement. She stood by, watching in
tently while Billie put green mascara
over Charity's eyes. rouged her cheeks

they slipped the gown over Charity's
shoulders.
"Oh!" Sylvia clasped her hands ir

most beautiful woman I have ever
seen"
After me- Sylvia" Billie grinned
We'll say she's the most beautiful

Charity went over to the long mirror
and surveyed herself carefully. She did
look grand. The raven black of hel
shining hair was lovely, in contrast with
the long sweep of her white taffeta
gown. 1t moulded to her figure per-
fectly to below her knees, then fared
in great old-fashioned flutes to sweep
the floor, la Mae West.
A worried little frown gathered on
her white brow when she thought OF
Doug. But she quickly put him out of
her mind. He hadn't even given her
the benefl. of doubt-he staying away
rom hon.e sulking like a little boy
She'd give him something to worry
about-if he would worry. She hoped
a little that he would.

curiosity to know how everything Is

The lawyer looked surprised. He

for her actions of the evening before.
She was half running back to the
private elevator when she saw Batch.
He came toward her grinning. Hello,
nursie. I was just going to. call you TO
see how about a double date tonight?"
And what's the big idea?"
There's a doctor friend of mine IN
from Chicago I thought maybe you'd
get Billie and we could go to the
opening of the Casino roof"
When Charity hesitated Batch
grinned again. ITS quite proper-.
Charity remembered what Billie had
told her-that she must give Doug a
little of his own medicine if she ever
expected him to treat her differently.
He hadn't even come home last night.
She said slowly, Think that would
be lovely. III call Billie
Billie was as much delighted as sur
prised when Charity telephoned. 1t
meant that Charity was really coming
to her senses. That she meant to take
Doug at his word when he told her to
70 her way and do as she pleased. And
something told her that Doug wouldn't
like it.
It would be Charity's first public ap-
pearance since she became Mrs. Tenn
Die. Billie felt it was vitally important
that both she and Charity look as
beautiful as it was possible for them
to look All Park avenue and Broad

to dress until she got there
