back, you know"
Good girl! I didn't know. I've
only been in Detroit a few DAYS
and I've been working like a dog
Tell me-what do you hear from
the Wilson's and all that gang ?
Been seeing much of them? DOING
any posing for Mark ?"
For some time they talked on
very casually. Mark, Cav said
was so busy on commissions fo1
portraits that he had given ur
magazine illustrating entirely. He
was making a splendid success
and Charlotte seemed radiantly
happy.
AS they chatted, Wayne relaxed
more and more; the tense, drawn
expression disappeared from his
face, and he was quite like himself
again. Gay rejoiced to hear his
deep, sudden laugh. How lovely,
how heavenly it was, to be friends
again with the one man she had
ever. really loved; the one man she
ever would love. He didn't love
her, OF course-but she knew she
had won back his friendship and
respect.
SudGc2iy &c leaned toward her.
Cay, I asked you a while back,
why you'd turned down the Scott
millions. You put me off. Gave
some silly answer. But 1 want to
know, and I'm not going to leave
tonight till I do. So you might as
we'll give me the low-down now as

Gay thought for a moment.

his house."
II see. And what else didn't you
like ?"
Again Gay pondered, her chin
cupped in her hands. christian
was awfully sweet to me, really.
He never lectured me about nv
morals. But-he'd bought my por-
trait, the one Mark painted, ana
he showed me where he intended
to hang it. Right beside the two
other wives. couldn't stand that,
Wayne. 1t made me feel like a
Mormon, or something's"
They both burst out laughing.
Wayne chuckled, Gay Elwell,
you're the most maddening girl
I've ever met. never know
whether to kiss you or kill YOU"
She said, I'm awfu1ly young to
die, Mr.. Adams!"
But he didn't take up the chal-
lenge. Instead he spoke again,
more seriously than before.
II suppose you realize that
you're a total loss as a gold digger.
l can't understand it. If you'd
been really smart and hard boiled,
as thought you were, you'd have
gone ahead with the marriage,
stood the gait for year, and then
divorced Scott. imagine he'd
have paid big alimony. Why didn't
you follow through? ?"
Her voice wavered, though she
tried to keep the same light note.
They've thrown me out of the
Confederation of Gold Diggers. 1

I just couldn't stand the gaff, as
you expressed it."
He studied her, with that level,
intent gaze of his.

love with someone else?~
Gay felt that no matter what
happened, she must tell the truth.
No more t1bs-no more pretending.
Eyes, Wayne. 1 Was-I still am,
in love with someone else"
Somebody with even more
money than Scott?"
mo. The man I love Is quite
poor, believe"
That's a shame. A man who is
poor shouldn't marry. Romance
dies off, they say, when it's
swamped under load OF unpaid
bills. And a girl as good-looking
as you doesn't need to take a hus-
band who can't support her."
I'D take this man." Gay said,
1.-The first minute he asked me.
That's one thing learned, while
was engaged to someone 1 didn't
really care for. Money isn't every
thing-in fact, it doesn't count at
all. Loves the only thing that
matters"
Wayne studied the tip of his cig-
aret with an air of deep interest.

novels, Adorable!" The old pet

them realized. "You don't really

tits manners" Gay whispered
ito wait until you're asked"
There was a lengthy silence
more acute, more painful, than
Gay had ever lived through. She
felt shamed, abased, exultant, all
at once. Wayne must know that
she was offering herself to him-he
could never know how much cour-
age it had taken.
He spoke again, abruptly.
Il wonder if know this fellow
you're talking about. Is he-ar
inventor, perhaps ?"
EYES,"
with an invention he's all
hoped up about, but no one else
will give him cent for?''
Gay met his eyes. That's the
man."
To her horror, Wayne laughed
Harshly. Irritably.
What fool you are, to wastN
time on that poor goof! He can't
marry. He hasn't a cent IN hia
name. But I happen to know he
loves you, and has gone through a
little private hell Of his own, while
you were engaged to another man.
Why do you want him, Gay? He's
a failure"
She cried, blindly, II want him,
terribly. I adore him. 1 can't live
without him.
Somehow they were in each
others arms again, all the long bit
ter weeks and months of separa-
ton forgotten, as they chung des-
perately together.
Later, there was so much to be
said, so much to be explained. They
talked on for hours, and Wayne
would stop at discreet intervals,
and kiss her with adoring tender
ness on the mouth, or with quick,
sweetness on her straight.

her cheek where the dimples
flashed and disappeared again.

STREET WIDENING
MERITS COMPARED
WITH PARKING BAN
Two Traffic Relief Plans
Discussed at Advisory
Committee Meeting.
WIDER TH0R0UGHFARES
FAVORED BY MERCHANTS
Study Of Congested Roadways'
Capacity Is Proposed by
Ihlder.

Whether a ban on downtown park
ing or widening of streets in the down.
town area would serve better to solve
Washington's problem of trafic con-
gestion was discussed today at the
second meeting Of the Advisory COM
mittee or Traffic set up about two
weeks ago by Commissioner Melvin c.
Hazen.
Merchants Of the city. represented
on the committee by Arthur j. Sund-
lun, suggested widening of streets and
at the same time objected to the pro-
posed parking ban.
Commissioner Hazen, on the other
hand, pointed out that additional
lanes on the heavily Travelled streets
could be provided to expedite the
movement Of traffic and cited the
experience Of Chicago in prohibiting
parking in the Loop. It was brought
out. however. that Chicago has pro-
vided some municipal parking facili-
ties, along with private parking areas
to care for shoppers and others in the
business area.
Street Study Is Urged.
John Ihlder. director of the Alley
Dwelling Authority, suggested that
study OF the traffic capacity of the
congested streets be made, so that
the more practical plan as between
banning parking or widening the
thoroughfares could be chosen.
Thomas Lodge. president OF the
Federation Of Citizens Associations.
and Richmond B. Keech. vice chair
man Of the Public Utilities Commits
sion, made the suggestion that. since
both plans would serve the same pur-
pose. prohibition of parking should
hrst betried, since it involves no new
expense, and then, If the experiment
failed, street widening might be un-
dertaken.
Charles H. Frame. representing
trucking interests. objected strenu-
ously to ban on parking for loading
and unloading purposes during the
rush hours Merchants. he said, have
to have their goods delivered early
each day for that days business or

In his argument for wider streets.
Sundlun pointed out that K street
from Thirteenth to Sixteenth streets,
Is one OF the most congested In the
city during the afternoon rush hours
and at the same time is bordered by
extremely wide sidewalks that are not
needed. Other streets, he said, have
similar unnecessarily wide sidewalks.
The meeting today was the second
held by the committee and was for
the purpose of exchanging ideas so
that a long-range plan may be
worked out. The next meeting is ex.
pected to bring definite rec ommenda.
tions on what should be- done.
The committee also is considering
the feasibility of subways for rapid
mass transportation across the city and
of municipal garages or
parking lots as a means of relieving
downtown congestion.
Van Duzer was appointed chairman
Of subcommittee to draw up definite
recommendations for traffic improve
ment.
