Gregs professional competitors, While
giving their unqualified approval OF
the new star, Roger Bayne, openly
scoffed at Greg. You certainly fell
into luck when Bayne picked you for
publicity director!" was the context OF
their opinion. 1t ranked Greg, thick
skinned as he was.
No one knew how he had worked
ceaselessly to put Bayne over, taking
him from the place of a mediocre bit
player and molding him into a flrSt-
line actor. But the rivals banter had
touched a tender spot. 1t set him
wondering.
WAS it true? Or could he do 1t
Wv again-take unskilled material
and fashion it into something fine?
A press agent works as fast as his
mind. Greg saw girl leaning against
one of the golden-painted dragon bas-
reliefs at the theaters side, watching
the passing show of notables and
near-notables. He paused at her side.
Are you employed, miss?" he
started, without preamble.
The girl bent startled glance upon
him, and Greg noted professionally
the oval face, devoid of makeup, the
widest blue eyes, the small, full mouth
and short, straight nose. Shed do.

steadily" Greg had the satisfaction
Of hearing a fresh but obviously un-
trained voice.
You're wrong, sisterl You're en-
ployed starting from right now" He
figured his bank roll. Twenty q
week to start"
THE girl inspected him critically.
Say, Just what's the racket"
she inquired defensively. Greg took
her arm.
Its on the level. miss" he as
sured her Come along and I'll ex-
plain" BY the time they had reach
ed a restaurant near Loew's State and
had ordered a late dinner, Greg had
practically made the situation clear.
The girl nibbled breadstick refiec-
lively and looked him straight in the
eyes.
I'm game to be a sort of guinea
pig for you to experiment upon, Mr..
Barker, as long as it's straight busi-
ness. But warn you. I don't sing,
dance, act or anything else, and the
nearest I've ever been to q stage Is

he was surprised at the result. Peggy

Peggy had even come to the place
where she was considered a logical
mate for Roger Bayne. Granted that
it was upon Gregs orders that she
palled around with Roger, she didn't
exactly seem to object. And that gave
Greg an idea.
"PEGGY. what I'm going to do is
what I'd call my masterpiece
Of press agenting," he told her.
First, how much do you like Roger?"
Peggys brown eyes arched. Her smile
did something to Greg.
Pretty WE'LL" she admitted.
whats the angle now?"
Greg waited a long moment be-
fore replying. Peggy" he said at
last, II want you to marry Roger
You can manage it-I know he's daffy
over you And do it soon. I've ar
ranged for him to take you to your
place in the country this afternoon
for a rest"
Peggy looked at him queerly for a
moment. "Is that an order, boss?"
she asked. There was no hesitation
in her voice.
1T is" Greg affirmed. "And get
going right now. He'll call around
for you in about an hour. Lots Of
luck!"
For a long while Greg sat at his
desk, head miserably bowed in his
hands. I'm losing my grip" he told
himself. II think I'll retire on a high
moment before I do something else
rash"
LIE DIDN'T hear the sound Of the
door opening softly, nor the pad
of high-heeled shoes across the Office
carpeting. A hand rested lightly
upon his shoulder. He shrugged it
off, please go away. Take the
afternoon off, go jump in the ocean,
do anything. There will be no die
tation this afternoon"
"Greg" He twisted around at the
sound.
Peggy" The word came out rag
gedly. II thought I told you to get
going a half hour ago. You'll be
late!" She smiled as one would at a
harassed child.

to do it, but I can't bear to spoil
your pleasure Of having a MASTER
piece to look forward to!" He stared
at her. But if you can come
down to the city hall for a few
moments, I'd like you to sign a con-
tract to manage me for life
You see. I've known for a long

him.

GIVES SUGGESTIONS FOR
GARDENERS IN DECEMBER

Although work in the vegetable
garden is comparative slack in
December, there are a number of
things good gardeners will attend
to this month.
L. P. Watson, extension horticul-
turist at State College, gives the
following suggestions for the home
gardener:
If lettuce seed has not been plant
ed already, SOW it now in a cold
frame for an early spring crop.
Cover the frame with a cloth, and
give it additional protection during
very cold weather.
Now is a good time to make lib
eral applications of stable manure
to the garden in order to have early
vegetables next spring. If vegeta-
bles are now growing in the garden
spread the manure between them,
and work it in as soon as possible.
Mexican bean beetles do serious
damage to late beans. Start fight
ing them now by gathering up all
trash and refuse around the garden
and burning it. This applies especi-
ally to old bean plants and vines
on the fence.
Fruit trees are now dormant, and
Ipruning should be done so that
spray may be applied before the
buds form next spring. Dig up and
burn all dead and badly diseased
trees.
If more fruit trees are to be set
out, plant them right away, as this
will give them time to get well
established in the soil before spring
growth starts.
Cut out all dead wood in shade
trees and shrubbery, but do not
prune out live wood in an attempt
to improve the shape of trees and
shrubs hat bloom in the spring.
Buds have already formed on these,
and pruning at this time will re-
duce their blooming surface.

Her Roommate's
Umbrella
(From The Pioneer

1t was a beastly afternoon, the
rain drenched everything on which
it fell, a low gray cloud lay over
the Catawba campus, the walks
were at water level, and the grass
appeared like SO many little tree
tops in a flood. 1t was not fit for
a freshman to be out, let alone an
undecided junior, but a freshman
and a junior were out in this rain.
The freshman with her umbrella
was walking blindly from the music
building toward the administration
building, while the junior was on,
with no protection from natures

go.

asked, taking the parasol and ad-
justing it to his height.
NO.. It's raining pretty hard!'
A mellow, girlish voice answered.
This caused the junior to look
down and see who really was under
this oval piece of rain protector. He
saw a pleasant, smiling face with
brown eyes, crimson lips, rosy
cheeks, determined nose, and a
crown of golden brown hair pour
ing from under a blue and white
dink.
"Have these rains often?" She
asked.
"Just a southern shower. They
come ever so often to keep things
from getting too dry"
"It rains a lot in the spring.

"Well-not so much, just
enough to put plenty of water in

as me. She is well made up, too;
