they were forwarding 1t to her.
 The second page was a sheet Of pale pink notepaper, written in purple ink. Attached was a pie ture of Toby, cut from an adver- tisement. The picture was rather worn and had been folded so that a crease came directly down the center of her face. But 1t was Toby just the same.
 She folded back the clipping and read:
 Dear Dream Girl; I suppose you will be surprised to get this letter from someone you have never seen or heard of, but since do not know where you are, writing this letter is the best can do. I hope it will reach you, Dream Girl, for you are the one have been search ing for all my life. I have an- other picture like the one am put ting in this letter and keep it in my watch and look at it many times day.
 T would send you one of my pie buU | OV AlOU AA@VC uAiJ tAhUU do me justice. Dream Girl, I have roved the world, but now am ready to settle down in little home and know that you are the one to share my lot. Will you please write to me and tell me your name and address? Until then I will just call you Dream Girl and count the day until hear from you.
 Ever-lovingly,
 Jonas Huckleberry."
 Toby read 1t slowly, for some of the words were almost illegible. Then she said. Why, Harriet how ridiculous!"
 What's the matter, honey?"
 This letter. It's perfectly crazy. Listen to this"
 She read the letter again, this time aloud. Harriet crossed the room and took it from her when she had finished. Its proposal, Harriet exclaimed. "Jonas Huckle- berry wants you to marry him, Toby. He's asking you to share his lot-and I'll bet it's a fine one! I've had some fan mail myself, but never anything to equal this. We'll, darling, there's husband If you want him."
 q certainly don't"
 The other laughed. You needn't take 1t so seriously" she said Hell never be able to find your name or address. Listen, honey, Clyde's going to be busy tonight What do you say we see a movie together"
 Toby said, Why. yes. I'd like to-"
 Ot was the afternoon of the fol- lowing day. Howard Blanc, junior member of the firm of Anderson and Blanc, stod in the office of Al McCracken, ace copy writer of the advertising agency.
 I've just been talking to Ram sey," Blanc said. Hell have those tables of statistics over here this af- ternoon."
 Good" McCracken nodded. 'T'll get to work on them as soon aA they show up He reached for a Sheaf of papers. Here's the first draft of the Kimball Bakeries copy Want to take look at it2" Thanks" Blanc took the bulky sheets and turned to go. Halfway to the door, he swung around ant came back. q thought we were ready to go ahead on that Hillyel soap series," he said confidentially but there's another delay. Hill yer wasn't satisfied with the mode Joyce picked. That's the trouble with that place. Everything's go to be okayed by Hillyer himself Talking to anyone else is just 6 waste of time"
 q shouldn't think 1t would bt hard to find & model ,McCracker said. New York's full of them"
 T know-but finding one to suit Hillyer's another matter He's got his own ideas. Wants girl whose picture hasn't been used too much or associated with another prod uct. One with freshness and charm. Unsophisticated. The sort of girl who can hold a bar of soap in her hand and smile and make you think that, because she likes 1t, you'll like 1t, too.
 Its going to be a nice job for the girl who lands 1t. They're go- ing to give her & contract and $l ,000 bonus to agree not to pose for any other soap manufacturer for year. Of course, she'll be paid for all the posing she does, besides. She can pose for any other product, but no other soap manu- facturer."
 There was 8 sound in the door way and both men turned. Bill Brandt stood there. He said, "Ex- cuse me. thought you were alone, Mir. McCracken."
 Did you finish that Bradley copy?" McCracken asked.
 "Yes. I have 1t here"
 Leave 1t with me-" McCracken said. "I'll go over 1t later and talk to you about it."
 Bill gave him the typewritten sheets and returned to his own desk. He couldn't have avoided
