CHAPTER VII

DEREK said insistently, "But it's
- perfectly all right with me-
don't give it another thought"
They we're leaving the Russian
restaurant after Gail had refused
Lucille Travers' invitation to join
her friends. The snake-like glance
Lucille had turned on the other
girl had not been lost upon Derek.
Surely" he continued, you
know I'd rather be with you than
with that Park-av crowd"
But I'm afraid 1 was rather
selfish" Gail objected. Lucille is
frightfully rich. Perhaps if you'd
met her friends it might have
brought you some commissions for
portraits"
do you think I'd sacrifice an
hour with you for the sake of
such mercenary consideration?
1t seemed strange, thought
thought from the way Lucille
greeted you that she must be one
of your dearest friends. Of course
if you'd wanted to go to her table
I'd have been willing enough to
go along. But there-lets forget
all about it,"
4 S they reached the door Gail
IN noticed the woman who had
spoken to her the day before in
the tearoom-the one who had
urged her to see a certain exhibit
of paintings. Gail was surprised
when Derek acknowledged the wom-
ans jerky little bow most courte-
ously.
1t was not until they were out
side that he said, Did you notice
that rather unusual looking woman
to whom bowed as we left the res
taurant?"
YES. Who is she?" Gail asked
interestedly.
Mrs. Morton, the widow of one
of Americas greatest financiers.
She's tremendously rich and takes
an interest in young painters, try
ing to get start. Arts her hobby.
In fact, it was the sale of little
water color to her that set my feet
on the ladder. The fact that she
bought it Immediately made folk sit
up, for she's considered quite a
critic"
How exciting!" said Gail. "But,
believe 1T or not, she spoke to me
yesterday" Quickly she told Derek
of their meeting.

Fifth-av stores. It's not bad. only
you don't get around enough
mean outside the store. And it's
real slavery, for we have to work
Saturdays, too. I'm trying to get
into an agency. You get to know
more people that way. Besides I'm
fed up writing exclusively about
clothes. I loathe them"
Gail laughed. Then I guess you
don't think much of my line?"
"Oh, that's different. You're
actually creating-not just raving
about creations Besides, if you're
any good at all as a designer you'll
make fortune. Some of the whole
sale houses pay fabulous sums to
their designers, and they can act
just as 'temperamental as opera
stars"
"CURELY they're not all like
~ that?" Calls amber eyes were
twinkling as she looked at her guest
ooh, there are exceptions, but
most of them seem to think they
are gifts from heaven and must be
handled with care. Are you on your
own? But there, you must think
I have an awful lot of nerve to
cross-question you like this" For a
moment Natalie's green eyes were
yelled by dropping lids.
That's the only way We'll get
acquainted. I've just started to
work with Madame Lizette. I had
some training at school but of
course I need some practical expe-
rience before setting up for myself"
AS she spoke Gail thought how glib
ly she was repeating Derek's ad-
vice.
ooh, Madame Lizette's!" Natalie
sat forward in her chair. How. ever
did you manage to get in there? I
hear it's awfully hard even to get
an appointment with her to talk
about job! But maybe you had
some pulp"
mo-" Gail replied, and then re-
4 vealed the manner in which
she had secured her job. "You see
after all, it was only luck" she
went on, land besides, I don't know
what may happen tomorrow. It
wouldn't surprise me from what I've
seen at Madames if I should lose
my job any moment!"
you don't seem to feel very wor-
ried about it. But, then, perhaps,
you have money of your own"
Just my prize money. I guess
$500 doesn't go very far!"
mot if you're living on it," re-
marked Natalie, lighting another
cigaret. "Still, I suppose you're
getting handsome salary" Once
more the heavy lids dropped over
Natalie's green eyes.
Gail shrugged her shoulders. Had
she spoken too freely to this stran-

I'm sorry 1 can't accept. I've
promised to spend the weekend
with come friends on Long Island =
"Oh, you have friends here then?
l thought you were all alone"
so am" Gail returned, rather
spiritedly. I'm fact, I'c forgotten
how near Long Island is to New
York, and I certainly would never
have locked them up" she stopped
rather suddenly. She had almost
added-'but met Dick by chance. "
WELL, I hope you have good
W time" said Derek as they
reached the clubhouse.
"Oh, I guess l will. Thank you
for the incest evening I've had
since I came to the big city"
Glad you enjoyed it. BY the
way, the Ferrara gallery is to be
open one or two evenings next
week. The pictures are we'll worth
seeing. Won't you let me take you
there?"
"Of course I will, if you're sure
You don't mind taking me-"
Mind? Are you fishing, little
lady?" he questioned whimsically.
Then, clasping both her hands in
his, he said, This has been the hap
piest evening I've known in a long
time"
For a precious moment his eyes
held hers. Then, withdrawing her
hands, Gail ran up the short
flight of stone steps, paused for
moment and waved a slender
hand before disappearing inside the
clubhouse.
A S Gail turned the key in the
L n door of her room the green
eyed girl she had seen in the dim
ing room stepped out into the hall.
She glanced up and down the hall
and then crossed to Gail. 1--WE
just broken the points of my
scissors" she said. IT wonder if I
might borrow pair from you for
moment or two? I'm Natalie
Preston" she added, in carefully
modulated voice.
of course you may! Come right
in" Gail held the door wide open.
What a nice room!" Natalie's
green eyes quickly noted that it
was larger than her own and that
the occasional chairs were better
upholstered.
Yes, it is quite pleasant, but
haven't all my things unpacked
yet"
"Oh, you're just here for a visit?"
asked Natalie.
mo, I expect to make my home
here permanently. Won't you sit
down."
well, I'm in no rush." Natalie
replied. 1--WE might as we'll get

just to illustrate how this trip to
Vincennes, Ind, June 10, is to be
purely Presidential and non-po-
litical, President Roosevelt told his
press conference that he will speak
there on the Battle of Vincenne5
and about William Henry Harrison.
L suppose you will also say
something about George Rogers
Clark" a reporter suggested. This
brought a good-natured laugh from
the President, the point being that
the whole purpose of the Vincennes
stop off is to dedicate the George

tser? But, as though the dusky-
haired girl had read her thoughts,
she started up, taking the scissors
with her.
When she reached the door. she
murmured, Hope you don't think
I've asked too many questions. You
know I don't want to pry into any
ones affairs"
THAT'S all right. All I've told
l. you might be published from

nice of you to stop and talk to me.
Come back any time you like.
Thanks, I will. What time do
you get home in the afternoon?
I'm afraid I won't have a chance
to return your scissors sooner"

about half past g."
you're eating your meals here?"
asked Natalie.
Eyes. : don't know much about

All right then, good night. I'll
be seeing you soon"
Good night" said Gail, closing
the door.
Alone again, she summed up the
other girl, "A bit nosey, but not
bad sort" Maybe they could
go around some together, for un-
doubtedly Natalie knew the city
we'll.
CAIL glanced at her travelling
~ clock and saw that it was
only 1920. She would have time
to write to Miss Cranston before
turning in. It was shame she
hadn't written her old teacher be-
fore.
Opening her handbag, she took
out her fountain pen, sat down at
the desk, and began to write.
There" she exclaimed an hour
later as she re-read the letter and,
folding it, slipped it into the en-
velope. That should satisfy the
dear old thing!" A wave of color
dyed Calls cheeks when she
thought of Derek. She had not
mentioned his name!
