shrugged her shoulders as the
green-eyed girl passed.
But had Gail not been in such
a hurry to leave she might have
heard the blond girl exclaim, as her
eyes still followed Natalie, "She's
looking us over again to see if
there's any newcomer worth getting
acquainted with" Her companion
answered, rather bitterly, Were all
workers here. She hasn't much
chance of getting into society
through any one she might meet in
this place"
Gail shifted the air as she stepped
into the street. Although there was
no fragrance of flowers around her,
and she missed the sweetness of
growing things, it felt fresh. Perhaps
the rain in the night had washed
away some of the CRIME of the city.
CHE walked quickly, amazed 10

streets so early in the day. Then.
catching sight of a mail box, she
crossed the street and dropped
letter into it. She noted the time
OF collection before she hurried
on, her lips parted in a smile.
Had Derek Hargreaves really
wanted to know the result of her
search for work, or was it only
politeness that had prompted him
to ask her to let him know how
she had had made out? Would she
hear from him, she wondered, or
was their meeting Just one of those
accidental contacts that blossom
into friendship-perhaps romance
all at once, and then come to an
untimely end because there is no
second meeting?
Gail still was smiling as she
stepped down to the basement
court where the employees en-
trance to Nine. Lizett's shop was
located. Something seemed to tell
her she would see Derek again.
TIS the wrong entrance you'll.

exclaimed Pat Murphy, the porter

man, tipping his hat.

answered gaily.
"Begorra, then, It's nay mistake.

hung the door open for her.
Down the dark passage Gail fol.
lowed the other workers into small
dressing room which was crowded
with lockers She looked around.
1t was bedlam in the closely
packed room where girls were
changing their shoes, combing their
hair, adding another touch of lip
stick, and calling back and forth e.
each other, until suddenly, some
one said, "Shush!" as Miss Carolie
entered.

the key for your locker. Use ST.
she added as Gail appeared.
THANK you." Gail answered;
i but when she tried to open
the door, she could not move it.

model Gail had seen the day before.
With a crooked smile in her Ian

and continued. Its Temperament

There was a loud guffaw in the

Miss Everett" Clytie announced.
Then, turning to Gail, she declared,
Il don't believe you'd remember all
their names even if told them to
you. Oh, you'd better meet Selma
and Toinette. They'll sew for you,
and Ariadne, who'll be your model"
CAIL acknowledged the introduce
NJ tions, though she felt little
tremor as she met the rather dis
dainful glance of the dark-eyed
Ariadne. For a moment she wished
that Clytie had been assigned to her.
Then, quickly, she tried to Danish
the thought that the dark-eyed girl
might be difficult to work with
perhaps a trouble maker. Yet as she
walked toward Madame's room to
await her orders, she confessed to
herself that, as a rule, her first i'm
preSSionS were correct.
"Madame's just telephoned that
she won't be here for an hour, so
she wants you to work up some
ideas for youthful summer frocks.
I'll show you the designers room"
Rising from her desk, Miss Carolie
led Gail along a dim passage to a
room in the rear.
1t was an extension to the old
brownstone house which was Ma
danes salon, and the long studio
windows at the north made the
room quite light.
There was a large work table in
the center and at one side Gail saw
Selma and Toinette busily at work,
the former running an electric sew
ing machine and Toinette, the fin
Usher, working on a filmy organdie
frock. Nearer the door was a hand
some Italian with beautifully
curled mustache, pressing a fine
white wooden coat.
n Il
you'll find paints and paper
i here" Miss Carolie pointed
to a small chest of drawers. "I
guess there are plenty of supplies,
but if you need anything make a
list and hand it to me. Frank does
your pressing and Selma and Toin-
cite will help you. Madame said she
wanted you to make some water
color sketches before you start to
work in the materials. You've had
some experience in the practical
side of designing, haven't your"
"Oh, yes" answered Gail bravely,
though she stif1ed a sigh as she
thought how different her surround
ings were now.
"All right" Miss Carolie ex-
claimed. leaving the room.
For q moment Gail felt desper-
ate desire to follow her. Then, turn
ing to the chest in front of her, she
found the paper, paint and brushes
she needed. Soon she was absorbed
in her work.
A BUZZER sounded and Ariadne,
N who had been in the show
room most of the morning, saun-
tered over to Gail. SITS IL o'clock.
Time to go to lunch"
My, but the mornings gone fast"
cried Gail, sitting up and looking
about her. II guess I'd better finish
this before I go out. Madame may
wish to see it." Once more she
turned to her worw.
Better 60 when the going's good, "
advised Ariadne, and she slouched
from the room.
A moment later the door opened
and Clytie called, Didn't you hear
the buzzer. Miss Everett? It's time

that's gorgeousi I bet Ma
~ dame will like that. Oh, well, If
she doesn't-and when she's wor-
ried about Rex Chats her SOM she
often acts crazy-just never mind
Eer. She gets out of it, especially
If some of her pet customers are
pleased with the sketches she shows
them"
So Madame had son, thought
Gail, as she quickly got ready to go
out. Clytie's warning words were
still ringing in her ears when she
reached the street, Don't be late.
Miss Everett, if you'd take tip
from a model"
Gail glanced at her wrist watch.
1t was 20 minutes past IL. Shed
have to hurry through her lunch.
Directly across the street she saw
a smart-looking tearoom. Maybe
she'd better go there. Still, service
was often rather slow in these
places that cater to women OF
leisure.
Gail remember passing a drug.
store on her way to work that morn
in. The drug store was at the cor
ner, so she hurried toward it. A
cup Of coffee and a sandwich would
have to take the place of anything
more substantial today! She dare
not risk rousing Madame's wrath tht
first day!
But fate often smiles at mortal's
resolutions! AS Gail left the drug
store, luxurious car pulled to the
curb and a young man with tho
figure Of an athlete stepped out.

She selects this handsomely tai
lored dusty-rose morning coat of
lustrous grained satin. It's full
pleated sleeves drop pointedly below
the elbow, its double breasted,
lapeled front fastens with silk cord
ed frogs.
The skirt trails with an alluring
swish-sWish and on the whole, the
ensemble presents a readiness to
relax with its wearer or to receive
informal guests for breakfast or for
tea, as the case may be.
NTIDWESTERN summers being
1V1 what they are, it behooves
every last woman of us to be ready
to jump into shimmering cool house
clothes like this after basking in the
sweltering glow of an Indiana sun.
If the very sight of silk makes you
shudder with the heat you'll find
peace offerings of sheer dotted swiss,
lawn and batiste fashioned into
house coats that are delectable for
warm weather wear.
One memorable negligee of f1ut-
tering grace seen in local shop was
of red and white dotted swiss with
unique trimmings of rows and rows
of cherry red rick-rack Another
simpler style was of pastel colored
sheer with landings of vari-colored
sheer material on pockets and in
front line trim.
If you have to take your summer
afternoons lying down, keep an eye
out for wearables that will help keep
you cool and content even though
the thermometer may be rising to
new heightsI

CHAPTER FOUR

THE subdued tinkle of the tele-
l. phone on her bedside table
awoke Gail next morning. Still half
asleep, she reached for the receiver,
and heard crisp young voice an
nounce, Its 7 o'clock"
Thanks" answered Gail, me-
chanically placing the receiver in rs
cradle again. Shed quite forgotten
she had left word at the desk to
be called. Shed been so afrai' she
might oversleep.
Well, she needn't rise just yet, for
she'd have plenty of time to get
dressed, have breakfast and be at
Madame'S by $3.50.
The sun was shining brightly, and
already the unfamiliar noises of the
city were drifting into her room.
There was the screech of the elevat-
ed as its Serpentine train swung
around a curve, the throbbing of in
Vulnerable motors as a never ending
stream of cars swept along the
street. Hundreds of men and women
were already on their way to work.
ITOW different it was from Mer-
l. i rywood Hall, thought Gail,
brushing her sunny hair. There on a
May morning like this the singing
of birds would be awaking her for
mer companions. Kicking off her
green velvet mules, she stepped into
pair of smart street shoes.
Then, still wearing her green seer
sucker bathrobe, she walked toward
the window, and looked down on a
kaleidoscope view of slate roofs,
rows of old brown sandstone houses,
tall loft buildings, and many stored
apartment houses separated by deep
canyons where gray streets and
traffic laden avenues meandered
through the city's maze.
Gail breakfasted alone, for she
was not yet acquainted with any of
the young business women who
comprised the population of the tall
clubhouse. At the tables around her
little groups of girls were coming
and going, pausing here and there
to call greeting to new arrivals or
wave gaily to others in more Sc
cluded corners of the large dining
room. Gail felt thrilled.
The atmosphere was so buoyant.
Surely romance and adventure were
in the very air. Didn't the gay
laughter, the tantalizing smiles, and
snatches OF whispered conversation
tell her so?
She rose from the table but as
she neared the door she came face
TO face with girl whose vivid green
eyes and dusky hair immediately set
her apart from all the others. She
gave Gail no friendly good morning,
but cool stare which undoubtedly
she would have resented from a less
intriguing character.
