WHAT HAPPENED IN PARTS AND II
M HsnSeaoS sa1ss S".t was huge oven in which
men, and thousands of clerks
labored and perspired In an old mansion,
now humming Government office, Valerie
Gray slaved to support herself and her father,
whose health and fortune had crashed to-
gether She was thankful for her job, despite
the unwelcOme attentions of her boss, Hexter
Floyd.
Also in pursuit of Valerie was Philip Rut-
ledge, wealthy and attractive but somehow
unable to win her love. Philip and his sister
Dora took Valerie to big reception and
there. slipping out into the moonlight alone
to escape Floyd, she saw chivalrous young
man risk his life for an old lady's drowning
dog. Valerie, who in PALMER days had been
an accomplished mermaid in her fathers
private pool. plunged in. in turn, to rescue the
drowning young man.
Between the two, romance budded. But
Neal, who was government clerk with a
mother and sister to support, and imagined
that his beautiful rescuer was as wealthy as
her surroundings. made no effort to see her
again or even to find out her name Only by
chance. one fall day. they met again =
and knew that they were made for each other.
In spite of their poverty they made blissful
plans for marriage, and even signed lease on

ill-contrived lies at him haphazardly. He
wondered less what was going on than how
he could get out gracefully and at the same
time save Valerie from whatever appalling
mess she was in
In any case. she had rid herself temporarily
of the mysterious male whom she persisted in
calling Molly, and had told him that she was
going to dinner with her friend Philip.
So he hurried her to the Mayflower hotel.
Neal shadowed them to the door. then skunk
off to dairy lunch and devowed his food,
mainly with his angry and baff1ed eyes.
Philip was no happier over his feast, for he
was pleading: "Val, darling, don't want to
nose into your affairs, but wish you d let me
do something to make you happy. You're in
jam of some sort - financial, know, but
something else besides. love you Damn it,
love you and can't help it. Is it mani Is
there somebody you love?"
"Of course" she said, trying not to be
defiant or cruel.
''Well. why don't you marry him? ?-i in
stead -of " WELL whatever is going on"
She did not know what to tell him. The
truth would seem subterfuge She said:
You're right. I'm in jam But I'll work out
of it, and some day I'll tell you the whole
story. Please give up loving me the way you
do; for it nearly kills me to keep on being
mean to you"
"All right, Val. You've got blank cheuue
on my trust; you can't overdraw on that. But
why won't you let me lend you lot of money,
or little, till you get on your feet?"
She could imagine how Neal would act if
she turned up with lot of money from
Philip. Neal lacked Philips sophistication

 Eyes properly cared for long re- tain their youthful sparkle. To have clear, shining eyes during all your life bathe them regularly with cleansing, soothing lotions, wear colored glasses when motoring or sitting in bright sunshine, do sim pie exercises to relax taut muscles and learn to rest the eyes several times a day.
 Eye exercises to be done at home (you simply roll your eyes far to the right, upward, to the left, then down) tend to strengthen as well as relax tired muscles. Avoid intri- cate routines unless your eye doctor recommends them and tells you ex- actly how they should be done.
 If you are advised to wear glasses, by all means get some, and wear them when you are supposed to. You may not like the idea, but go- ing without glasses after you have been told that they are necessary is likely to cause headaches, fine wrinkles around your eyes and an irritable disposition.
 Glasses that really suit the shape of your face and are quite fiattering are available to, everyone. Once you start to wear them regularly, re- member that severe cultures and too, too tailored clothes are out of order. You need soft waves about your face (don't slick your hair backward behind your ears) and something fluffy and feminine looking at your throat. You don't have to discard your favorite tailored suit or shirtwaist dresses, of
