CHAPTER xx1v

Harriet said, Another fresn guyl" when Toby told her about the man who had followed her on the street.
 Toby thought that Harriet was right. Now that she was at home, n the pleasant apartment, 1t seemed silly to have let herself be- come frightened.
 She had hurried into the nearest store and wandered about the aiSles for several minutes. when eIle had emerged, the man in the shabby clothes and dark hat was not in sight and she did not see him again.
 Yes, of course Harriet was right. Ho was just another fresh guy and she had been mistaken in thinking way was something queer in the way he looked at her. Something about his eyes. Toby told herself she had imagined that.
 So she said, T guess you're right, Harriet. My imagination was prob" ably working overtime"
 Toby went to dinner that night with Bill. They went to the Cafe- teria where they had eaten together 60 often. Bill suggested another place, but Toby said she really wanted to go to the cafeteria. They ordered corned beef and cabbage, the days special" and 1t was de- liciouS.
 They were even lucky enough to get their favorite table. Toby said, across the red-and-white checked tahle cloth. "It's long time since we've been here, Bill"
 ~That hasn't been my fault"
 No"
 "Getting 0 date with you is like making one with Garbo,' he told ieg, grinning.
 "You know didn't mean 1t to be that way" Toby said seriously. s'I've missed you, Bill" She real- ized suddenly how must she had missed him. "It's just that there arc 50 many things to do. Hours aro irregular, modelling, and lots Of tirnes we work ct night"
 That was true. Only she had managed to find time for Tim
 She told Bill about Che test photographs Duryea had made that afternoon, and he listened without volunteering any information. She didn't know what the pictures were being made for.
 "It's . big job," she said, If I get it--only I won't. There was ari- other girl making tests, tco. Carol Marsh. She's 6 society girl and has q lot of money. She's the one they'll take. because she's really beautiful. She's snobbish and they say she does all sorts of little mean tricks. But you should have seen her in that gorgeous dress"
 "What does she look like?" Bill asked.
 "sheIi tall and thin and her hair 1S 50 dark 1t looks black. She wears at with c lot of curls on one Teelr. Tt would look terrible on any .ie else, but 1t doesn't on her. And she uses an awfully red lipstick. You can tell just by looking at her that Park Avenue is where she belongs"
 Bili said, "One of those snooty danes, huh? She doesn't sound ike any prize package to me-"
 Toby smiled. It was true that Bill wouldn't think Carol Marsh "a prize package" He wouldn't like anything about her. But Carol would get the job, just the same.
 Toby asked, more as Q polite in. nliry than anything else, what Bill had been doing lately.
 rive got new job" he told her.
 "Billl You haven't left Anderson and Blane's?"
 "No. Only, instead of writing ads Elm trying to sell them"
 DO you like it?'
 wei, I've only been at 1t . few days. I'm pretty green, but I thinA I'm going to like 1t. Besides, if I'm ever to have an agency of my own I've got to know something about Aho selling end of the business"
 T suppose that's true
 She thought of the evening" when they had sat ct this very tablt and planned the future. Bill hac told her about the advertising agency he was going to have somt day. and she had never doubted that his plans would come true Che had had her own dreaTns--ol becoming c buyer at Bergmani Would Bill's plans fail as complete
