 Toby went to the other end of the counter to straighten the sign reading. Handset Rhinestone Bracelets, $295 to $5" She won- dered If MT. Pharis, the good-look- ing buyer in the siIverWare depart ment, two counters over, had been at Maurines party. MT. Pharis was new in the store. His uncle was or the board of directors and MT. Pharis, after graduating from a fa- nous university, had travelled all over Europe. Toby had learned this from Maurine who had "been out" with the young silverware buyer.
 "She can have him." Toby thought carelessly. Maurine had been late this morning as usual. Gladys Sor- enson, the third girl at the counter, insisted Maurine had pull with Miss Burrows, the buyer. Toby didn't think that. She thought Gladys, who was older than the others and whose figure could be described only by the wofd "dumpy", said such things because Maurine vas an out-and-out beauty. En- ployes who didn't know her re- ferred to Maurine Ball as that pretty girl in the jewelry." She had an arresting brunei beauty that eclipsed her surroundings, inevit- ably drew attention to itself.
 Working at the same counter as Maurine, 1t was no wonder Toby Ryan went unnoticed. Yet Toby was well worth noticing. Gray-blue eyes beneath curving brows-nose with a bit of 8 tilt-generous lips kealthily crimson-a chin that was practically perfect. That was Toby Ryan.

 Toby said, Maybe they won't use them at all. I wouldn't be sur- prised if they didn't. I felt fool ish, and I'll bet I looked that way, too."
 "Ill bet you looked swell" Gladys insisted loyally. She went on. But, say-Maurine's sore as 8 boil be- cause they asked you to be in those pictures instead of her. She looked mad enough to bite nails after you left"
 But I didn't have anything to do with it-!" ,.
 "T know. Just the same, she's sore. Better stay out of her way that's my advice"
 Toby said, 'If she really cares, I'm sorry I did it."
 "Well, I'm not!" Gladys nodded emphatically. Does me good to sec that dame get taken down a peg once in a while!" Gladys was called away then to wait on a gangling high-school-age girl who wanted tc buy an enormous rhinestone brace let.

And then Toby was at Berg mans. Other girls, by tVos and threes and some of them singly were crowding through the door way. Toby pushed inside, sighed inyoIuntarily as her eyes met the time clock. She had made It, all right!
 Meanwhile, on the busy corner half block away, the young man with the brown eyes and the Jaun- ty hat brim watched her disappear He could do this quite easily (though Toby was little thing because her cap-like hat was bright green. He watched until she was lost in the crowd before the door, way. Then he murmured, Berg mans" half -aloud, eying the huge electric sign which swung from the top of the building almost halfway to the street. Smiling and leisure ly, the young man walked to the curb and summoned cab.

 In the milling crowd in the locker room she got into her last seasons brown coat, managed to catch a fleeting glimpse of herself in mir TOT, and adjusted the little green hat Then she was in the elevator, descending to the street.
 She stepped out into the Feb ruary dusk, raised her head in- voluntarily, and drew a deep breath. The good, cold, fresh air smote her cheeks. To left and right, lights gleamed in the already darkened streets. Newsboys were crying the days headlines in their indistin- guishable jargon.
 Toby stood for a moment, talk ing it all in--the lights and noise and pushing crowd. It was all fa- miliar; nevertheless, it was im- pressive. Then Toby tugged at her hat brim, settling it more firmly On her head, and set off down the street.
 AT the same time Tim Jamieson, A leaning against 8 bar in the cast fifties, helped himself to a cigaret from the package his com panion held. Tim touched match to the cigaret, watched the fragile ribbon of smoke rise from its tip Then he said. T saw a girl to- day"

 Nobody at Bergman's thought Toby was a beatty, though every body liked her-everyone who knew her, that is. Toby hadn't many &C., ouaintances.

Mrs. Dionne said she felt the young

HARRISBURG, Pa, April 28.-
Pennsylvanians voted their preferences
in presidential tests and elected dele
gates to national party conventions
in today's primary election, but the
contests for congressional nominations
claimed major share of popular in
tereSt in the voting.
Democrats were offered a choice
between President Roosevelt and Col.
Henry Breckenridge of New York in
the preferential balloting, with party
organization leaders predicting the
President would receive a large popu-
lar vote.
The lone presidential candidate on
the Republican ballot was Senator
William e. Borah of Idaho
Congressional contests offered al
most the only lively races in the
campaign, inasmuch as the preferen-
tial voting was not binding on con-
vention delegates.
Sixth Is battle-ground.

the sixth district, Philadelphia, where
Magistrate John L. Coyle was sup
ported by the city organization against

sented by Theodore L. Moritz, with
