CHAPTER VIII
JOS sleep had been woven with
scraps of dream pictures in which
she had witnessed herself buying
clothes at Lytsen's-although the
dreams had been spoiled little by
that queer realization which some
times comes to the sleeper, the re-
cognition that it's only a dream.
But when she walked briskly across
town and into the wide, blue-mar-
bled entrance of Lytsen's there was
nothing to spoil. the daytime pic
lures.
She was a little bewildered at
the start. All the way to the huge
store she had been trying to plan
what she would buy, and in what
order. Too late she realized that
in the quiet of her apartment she
should have made some sort of
shopping list. But in the end she
convinced herself that, after all, 1t
would be twice as much fun to
shop without the list.
"Ill start off with bathing
suit" she told herself That's easy
to buy-and then perhaps I'll get
in the mood of taking full advan-
tage of Mr.. Marsh's generosity
How much should she spend ?
That question worried her little,
although she knew perfectly well
that 1t would have to goodly
sum indeed to stagger the prodigal
Douglas Marsh. With her natural
training in economy she could
probably buy all she would need
for what Marsh would consider a
very moderate amount of money.
Still-they were awfully expensive
at Lytsen's.
Nevertheless, 10 assursed her
self as she walked into the busy
store, this is the place he chose!"
She went at once to the beach
wear department to look at the
bathing suits, and almost imme-
diately her eye was attracted by a
stunningly beautiful suit in white.
"It's very daring" the salesgirl
said. "They won't allow them at
all beaches. But with your figure
ana your blond hair you'd be a
dream in white"
10 took it. She couldn't resist
1t - and then she remembered
Douglas Marsh's mother.
'Maybe-maybe I ought to have
a7other suit. One little more
conservative" she confessed to the
clerk.
For the swim suit that was to be
% little more, conservative" she
picked q dark blue. And now"
said the salesgirl, you will want
q beach robe. What about some
thing in blue that will go with
either of the suits? And of course,
sumo smart sandals"
When 10 had quite finished in
the beach wear department-after
adding, also, a beach pajama outfit
1.-The salesgirI asked, did you
wish to charge this?"
The question startled 10 for a
moment, but finally she managed
to say. Eyes, please. To Crest Lake
Incorporated"
The girls eyes seemed uncer-
tain. rs that a new account?''
Yes. believe it was opened
just this morning" 10 gave the
address, requesting that the pur-
chascs be sent direct to Crest Lake
Inn.
And between the time 10 Darier
left tine beach wear department and
sought the elevators. a curious
thing happened. The salesgirl, just
q bit dubious, had telephoned the
credit department, and the credit
