hearing what Blanc had said about finding a model for the HillyeF soap advertisements. Everyone in the offlce knew what Q big account that was. Back pages, in color, on the best known magazines in the country. One of the biggest jobs Anderson and Blanc had ever land- ed.
 Blane's words still rang in Bill's ears. "A girl whose pictures haven't been used too much one with freshness and charm who can hold bar of soap in her hand and make you think that, because she likes 1t, you'll like 1t too It's going to be nice job for the girl who lands It."
 On Bills desk waS 8 box of cough drops and a manuscript re- viewing the history of the com- pany manufacturing them. He was supposed to be reading that his- tory. But Bill disregarded 1t, as well as the cough drops. He opened a drawer of his desk and took out several clippings. They were advertisements, cut from news papers and magazines. In each there was picture of girl-the same girl.
 Bill laid the clippings out before him, rearranged them. He sat back and studied them and pres- ently withdrew one. Then another. At last only one remained. It was the photograph of girl with an armful of daisies. She was look ing up, smiling, and the wind had blown her hair back from her face. It was easy to imagine this girl halted by the righteousness of a summer morning, drinking in the beauty of trees and sky and yellow sunshine. It was Toby Ryan.
 For several minutes Bill studied the picture. Then he arose and went to Howard Blane's private office. The door of the room was open and Bill stood there a moment before he entered.
 MT. Blane," he said, T couldn't help hearing what you were say ing about finding a model to pose for the Hillyer soap advertise ments."
 Blanc looked up, surprised. "Er whats that2"
 T couldn't help hearing what you were saying to MT. McCrack- en-" Bill repeated, about finding a model for the Hillyer soap ads. I wanted to show you this pie ture." He laid the clipping on the desk. This girl" he went on hasn't been posing very long. ] thought perhaps you hadn't seen her photographs"
 Blanc took the clipping. "Hm, he said. Then he looked up al Bill and smiled. Girl friend?" he asked.
 "Oh, no," Bill said hastily. q that is, we used to live on tht same street. It was just that what you said about wanting someone with freshness and charm and al that made me think of this pic. ture. Toby really IS like that Toby Ryan, her name is."
 But these pictures are going tt be in color," Blanc objected. 1T takes more than just brett. face"
 That's what I wanted to tel you" Bill went on eagerly. 'Tobyl be @ knockout in color."
 "Hm. Has she ever posed fol any color photographer"
 "No. I don't think so, but thati really an advantage. You said yo, were anxious to find girl whos' picture hasn't been used a lot. IT color photographs Toby will lool like @ different girl. No one wil ever know they've seen her be- fore"
 Blanc eyed the clipping narrow ly. She's a pretty girl" he said What agency does she worl with2"
 ''The Models League"
 Well, I'll tell you what I'll dc I'll put her picture in with som others we're considering" H went on, smiling, Tt occurs to me Brandt, that we've had you in tn wrong department. Maybe yol should be selling ads instead o writing them"
 "I'd like to try it, MT. Blanc.
 Would you? Well, go back t. your desk and finish whatever yol have to do there. And Monda. morning report to MT. Nagle." (TO Be C0ntinued)
