wild scne.ne we cooked up, back in
Detroit" he wrote. land she pretty
near laughed her head off. Said
she was SO jealous of you at first,
she was ready to claw your eyes
out. But now that she under
stands, she's absolutely with me in
my notion that you're the best
little scout in the world. Well
never forget either my wife or my
self, that you are really responsible
for bringing us together"
That letter filled Gay with a
great, abiding happiness.
There was nothing she wanted
from Tim, but it was sweet to have
his and Eleanor's friendship, when
nearly all the other members of
that gay, interesting set had
passed SO completely out of her
life.
Gay was thinking Of them all
tonight, as she let herself into her
tiny fiat, and commenced preparing
supper. She toasted bread, scram-
bled some eggs, and fixed a pot OF
tea; then set place for herself at
the little table in the sitting room
and ate her meal in solitary state.
It struck her suddenly, as she
poured a second cup of tea, that
for the first time in many months
she was quite content with her
fate.
Always before, she had been
restless dissatisfied burning
with ambitious longings. She had
wanted parties, new clothes, ex-
element. She'd bent every effort
toward getting a rich husband.
Now she realized that she was far
happier since she'd renowned those
ambitions, once and for all.
She glanced, with certain sat-
isfactiOn, around the tidy living
room. Now that there were no
more party invitations, no more
dinner engagements, she had been
using all her spare time and some
spending money on the apartment.
Though still shabby, it was COM
Portable and homelike. Jean had
helped too. Both girls found it a
lot of fun to shop around, and pick
up little odds and ends to help their
decorative scheme.
Two reading lamps with shades
Of deep gold silk threw a warm
radiance over the little ROOM
Bright silk pillows, and a throw
cover of Indian print, transformed
the battered sofa into a colorful
studio couch. A bunch of yellow
baby-mums in low black bowl
adorned the new coffee table.
Strange, how those few little
touches had changed an ugly room
into cozily inviting one!
Gay laughed to herself as she
realized that she was getting more
pleasure out of these humble pur-
chases, bought by herself and Jean,
than from the magnificent trous-
seau Christian Scott had selected
and charged to his accounts.
She had cleared the dishes away,
and was curled up on the couch,
reading, when she was summoned
to the telephone. Her heart beat
raplOly, DIS she picked up the re.
ceiver. She'd never admitted, even
to herself, what she'd been hop
ing-hoping-
It was Wayne.
"Im right near" he announced
CURLY. AT the corner drug store.
I would like very much to see you.
May I come over?"
He arrived in a few minutes, cur.
iously pale and tense, looking so
different from his usual suave self
as he stood in the doorway, that
Gay felt pang of intolerable pity.
Wont you come in, Wayne? I'm
terribly glad to see YOU"
Sitting on the couch, he glanced
about him. II had no idea you had
such nice little place, Gay.
like it here"

NT1Af TO
AFTER Gay had Wrenched away
from Christians kiss, he said, I'm
sorry. It is late, and we are both
a little tired. Perhaps not alto
gether ourselves, tonight. I will
send for the car, and let you go
home"
Gay tried to smile. THANK you,
Christian. You are very consider
ate, and T."
And YOU are my beautiful, love-
ly girl" he fIisted. II love you
% much, it is difficult for me to
control my feelings. You under
stand, my dear, and make allow
ances?
but there is one thing to be set
tied between us, before you leave.
Don't ever ask me again to change
this house, or live anywhere else.
1t is the dream of my life to have
you here, in these very rooms. I
want to look at you to my hearts
content-have you all to myself in
this home of mine, where I have
been so lonely. You must not deny
me that one favor"
1t was midnight when Gay got
back to Erskine street.
She was lying in bed, staring
into the darkness, when Jean
arrived home from the club and
tiptOed into the fiat.
you don't need to be so quiet"
Gay called. Come here. I want
to ask you something"
Jean switched on the bedroom
lights. Gay was sitting upright in
bed, her thick hair in a tangle
about her face.
do you think Carberry'd give
me back my job?"
Jean could only gasp. Are you
crazy? You know perfectly well
Mr.. Scott would never let you"
Mr.. Scott" Gay said, "has moth
Ing to do with it!'
Meeting jeans amazed eyes, she
laughed a little. I've been doing
lot of thinking, tonight. And for
quite some time before. Look over
there!'
AS though hypnotized, Jean
turned her bewildered gaze in the
direction Gay was pointing.
There on the bureau lay an en-
velope, addressed in Gays hand
writing to Mr.. Christian Scott
On top Of the envelope was a
platinum engagement ring, with it's
great diamond blazing in the light
like square of white fire.
Weeks passed. Gay got off the
woodward avenue bus at Erskine
street, and walked quickly in the
direction of her apartment. A brisk
wind whipped her skirt around her
legs as she hurried along, slim
confident little figure, cheeks rosy
red with the biting cold.
A clear, starry night, with the
smell of burning leaves in the air,
and tang of frost. Perfectly just
right for Halloween, she thought.
They were having a big celebra-
ton at the Pontchartrain, tonight,
but Gay had not been invited. She
was no longer the beautifully
dressed, neutrality-suspicious. fan
zee of a multi-milliOnaire. She was
simply the check girl from the
Pontchartrain club, one Of the
great army Of Detroit working
girls, returning home, tired and
hungry. after day of monotonous
duty.
Yet, as she opened the door of
her fiat, and stepped inside the liv-
ing room, Gays face was serenely
happy, and she was humming to
herself.
She had felt happier since she
had broken her engagement to
Christian Scott. She had writ
ten to him as simply and truthfully
as she knew how, telling him she
would always be deeply grateful for

MAY Be GENERAL
Rank of Brigadier Proposed.
Warrant Officers Get
Chance Abroad.

AS the result of a proposal made
last week, the rank of brigadier gen.
eral may be conferred on the chief
Of Army chaplains, the Office Of which
is now held by Col Alva J. Breasted.
He is the only chief Of such a
branch of the service who does not
hold general officer rank. The Corps
of Chaplains has an authorized
strength of 125 chaplains and the
highest rank the mead of this corps
can hold is colonel
The opportunity to serve at for
eign garrison is now afforded all
Army warrant officers who desire
duty abroad. During the current
year a number Of warrant officers
will be returning from foreign serv-
ice and it will be necessary for the
War Department to replace them.
With establishment of the new Phil
ippine government, the opportunity
there may be curtailed, and within
the next few months the examination
for appointment as warrant officer
in the Regular Army to fill vacancies
in the grade will result in additional
eligibles for duty outside the CONT
mental limits of the United States.
So priority may be given warrant off,
GERS now in the service, applications
volunteering for foreign service should
be made Immediately to the adjutant
general of the Army.

the rank and title Of lieutenant gen.
eralfor the four general officers desig-
mated to command the four armies.

mand are given the temporary rank
of admiral and vice admiral, and it is
considered proper that the temporary
rank of lieutenant general, common

four general officers who have been
designated to command the four
armies should be created. The four
Army officers who would be affected
are Maj. Gen. Dennis E. Nolan. LIST

in the New England States and the
Eastern States, Maj. Gen. Frank r.
Mccoy, who will command the forces
of the End Army, in the Great Lakes
region; Maj. Gen. johnson Hagood, 3rd
Army, South Atlantic and Gulf States,
and Maj. Gen. Paul B. Malone, 4th
Army, Pacific Coast ano Northwestern
States.
In addition to the chief of naval
operations of the Navy, Admiral
William H. Standby. who has the
rank of admiral while serving in that
capacity, there are three officers hav-
ing the temporary rank of admiral.
They include Admiral Joseph NJ
Reeves. commander in chief of the
United States Fleet; Admiral Harris
Laning, commander of the Battle
Force. and Admiral Grin G. Muffin,
commander in chief of the Asiatic
