 "All right, Derek." Seating her. self on Q wide window bench which was banked wiht flowers, Gail added, "IIl wait here."
 q won't be @ minute if can get him away from that mob"
 "There's no need to hurry" Gail replied, for the glamour of her surroundings fascinated her She was glad to have 8 few min- utes in which to get her bearings in the strange gathering where artists in shabby suits or silken splendor rubbed elbows with so- ciety's newest debs and old flnarlr ciers who had discovered at an in- opportune moment that, after all, the world was not made for them exclusively.
 Gail watched Mrs. Morton moving around among her guests. Derek had disappeared. Then suddenly her heart seemed to stand still. Lucille TraverS was talking. to him beside a huge bouquet of fragrant syringa. At the same moment Gail caught her hostess eye, and Mrs. Morton Stalked at once to her side.
 "You like Derek, don't you?" she demanded, gazing steadily at Gail. "You don't need to answer me, for suppose you think I'm an interfering old woman. Still I'm glad you do."
 "He has been very kind to me" Quickly Gail told of their meet ing.
 "Just like Derek. He had a long, hard row to hoe, though meeting hi,,l now you'd never know it. r"t success is not going to turn hs head. don't want creatures e that Travers girl to do t, cit, er. Better have your engage cnt announced immedi- ately. Then perhaps they'll keep their hands oit, = at least they'll know they should!"
 But we're not engaged!" Calls cheeks grew rosy.
 4Ou WILL Uc, Sd1u bLlS lOLLlcly old woman, batting the girls shoulder as she moved forward to meet 8 belated guest.
 Again Calls eyes turned to Derek. He was coming across the room, bringing Lucille with him.
 Hello, Gail. I thought you'd like to know that Derek's going to paint my portrait. I want him to come to our place now and se- lect the frock I'm to wear, but he says he has to take you home. |"
 Gail started to say, "All right!" when swiftly she remembered the warning gleam in Mrs. Morton's dark eyes. Why should she let Lucille take Derek away? He's quite right" Gail said. we have 8 date for tonight. He can select your frock some other day"
 Lucille shot her a glance of hate. "I'm dated up all next week, and he wants to start at once. Perhaps I won't have the portrait, after all"
 Don't say that! A portrait by Hargreaves may be valuable some day, Gail said sweetly, while Derek cried, Thanks for the boost, Gail," as he piloted her to- ward the door.

CHAPTER XIV

"So you thought I'd forgotten 3ou?" Derek said, handing Gail into the waiting cab.
 ''Well, that would be easy, wouldn't it?" she countered light ly.
 Think SOP" Blue eyes held hers while he caught her hand in his. i've been thinking of you all the time was out of the city! Yes, even when old man Jones' you know who he is, the man who makes the nations collars-was telling me exactly how he wanted the portrait of his new wife paint ed. Silly old chapI Tossing aside the woman who's stood by him for years and marrying this tow headed baby!"
 Gail flashed him a swift glance Derek really meant 1t! Maybe I missed you a little bit too," she said. Didn't you promise to show the little country girl around the big town?"
 And so I will. Tonight I'm going to introduce you to Mrs. Morton and a lot of worthwhile people. She picks a good crowd. though there are always a few pikers who manage to slip into her shows"
 "But if this Is an invitat on af- fair, Derek, it's no place for me! I'd never be piker"
 "Of course not. Honey. I've a special invitation for you He slipped hand into his pocket. Let me read Mrs. Morton's let ter"
 He drew out folded sheeet and read; T didn't send you a for nlal invitation because had planned to ask you to come to dinner before this. Then it oc- cured to me that there might be people you'd like to meet at the reception, and it would be a pity tor you to miss them when you're anxious to do more portraits. Won't you bring that girl who WIS with you at Ivan,s the other evening? I'd like to know her. Tell her she needn't be afraid of mel"
 "ol, Derek, what can she think of me?"
 Think of you, dearest? She'll love you! Yes-even though she looks rather boiled she has more than the proverbial heart of gold. You don't know how sweet you look tonightl Did you have nice week-end?"
 "Yes," Gail answered impul- siveiy. "The Searles' are old dears."
 50 that's where you were!"
 Yes. Rosemary was my room- mate at Merrywood."
 What about her brotherp" DereE's blue eyes grew dark. Then he laughed. Perhaps I shouldn't ask that?"
 "It's perfectly all right. Dicks an awfully nice boy. I told him l hope he'd find some nice girl soon and marry her"
 50 he was inviting you to be the girl. Derek's eyes twinkled, while a wave of color dyed Calls cheeks.

UNIVERSAL HAS
 GIVEN WARNING

Hollywood, July 0.--(Up)--Unl- versal Studio, whose pictures were banned in Germany shortly after the national socialist party went into power, today warned the American Olympic basketball team against using the name Universal during the coming games.
 The team, under the studios sponsorship. won the national title and became Americas representa- tive at the Berlin competition.
 Studio heads warned the players they would even resort to legal procedure # necessary to prevent use of the organizations name in connection with activities of the team while representing the United States ct Berlin.
 The NaEi party reportediy forced Universal out of the Qeiinan film market three years ago because 1t was owned by Q non-Aryan, Carl Laemfnle. No Universal picture has played in Germany since then ale though Laemmle recently sold his interest to c New York group.
 The studio was induced to spon. sor the basketball team by Jack Pierce, chief makeup man. Most of the players, graduates of local universities, were given jobs ct the studio while playing under the Uni- versal name. None are employed there now.
