pose you want to. I guess you're getting along swell, aren't you2 I saw your picture in Q magazine. You looked just beautiful"
 Toby said, "No, don't want to go back to the store, but I am glad they knew I didn't take the watch. I'm glad to know how 1t happened"
 Tt was an awful thing to do," Maurine said remorsefully. T guess I deserved everything that's hap pened since. They let me go after Gladys told about what I'd done."
 "Where are you working now?"
 T had job, but it was only tenn porary. I haven't done anything for about three weeks now. That's why I came to sec MT. Blake. I guess 1t was plenty nervy of me-thinking I might have a chance as model but there's no law against trying"
 Toby eyed the other girl Mau- rine's beauty had dimmed and shabbincss made this more appar- ent. No, she hadn't a chance of be- coming @ model, whether she talked with Blake or not.
 Suddenly Toby noticed Maurine's hands. They were lovely-long, tap- ering fingers, smooth and soft-look- ing. Toby leaned forward. Listen, Maurine, if you want a job I'll tell you what to do. Go to the shop where I have my manicures-I'll give you the address, and I'll call to tell them you're coming. After you've had a manicure, come back and I'll see that you get to talk to Mir. Blake. He needs hand model. happen to know that, You'd be surprised how many girls pose for hand or throat or shoulder pic- lures. Lots of them earn their liv- ing that way. I've got to go now, but I'll telephone the beauty shop
 She hurried away and Q few minutes later was back. Its all right" she said. Marie will take care of you. They're to charge 1t to my account, and you can pay me whenever you want to-"
 "Toby-to think of you doing this for mel"
 why not?"
 "After the way treated you--I" Maurine's dark eyes were nisted.
 That's all over," Toby said steadily, land we'll both forget about 1t. Besides, if hadn't left Bergman's I might never have taken up modelling. It really was good thing for me that 1t hap pened."
 They left the building, each talk ing different directions. Toby went to Duryea's, walking swiftly. She arrived exactly on the minute of her appointment. .,
 "Cecile sent some dresses over," Duryea told her. "Try on the blue one, will you? want to sec what 1t looks like"
 Toby said she would and went to the dressing room. The blue dress and another of green and white plaid hung suspended from a rod.
 She opened her makeup kit, ap- piled powder and 8 touch of rouge, and then slipped the blue dress over her shoulders. It was 8 heavenly shade, blue as July skies. The dress was a crisp organdie, with a full skirt and fltted bodice and a sash at the waist. It was a style 50 new that 1t copied the past. Never in her life had Toby worn anything more becoming.
 She went out to where Duryea was waiting. "Well--" she said, smiling, and turned slowly, man. nequin- fashion.
 Duryea bcamed. "Perfectl" he said. "It's the kind of dress I've been wanting them to send for you. Exactly right -- the color, style, everything"
 He stopped abruptly, sensing rather than seeing another presence in the room.
