Yesterday Safe at a Colorado

CHAPTER IN =,
As Judith waited for Marx
Price to state his request. she
wondered what he could have to
say to her. Unless he was IN love
with Nhlliccnt and wished her aid
in promoting his suit, she could
think of no help she might rem
der him. He had not pursued Mill
liccnt, though.
els there any place you must
be i'm July" he asked.
There was - Reno - but she
said: Not particularly.
Then you're going to listen to
me, You wear clothes like no
body's business. Oh yes you DO.
I've noticed you in these wh;.S
ducks. And the gay SHIRTS. loI
give them rhythm, 4 dare, a

start. had bum lung last year
and had TO leave and come out
here. But now I'm going back
for a real debut. I'm TO have a
part i'm the biggest fall showing
And you-Mrs. Irving, will you
model for me? I'm made If you
do. Made"
Judith didn't want TO laugh.
The sound came out without volt
ton. IL burst from her lips and
went on and on and on. She tried
to stop il but she couldn't. II
swept across the porch and up the
road. She put both hands over
her mouth.
She had thought he liked her
for herself. Liked her for her fun
and laughter. Al! he wanted was
TO have her wear clothes 80 he
could be famous. He didn't know
who she was,
Mark Price did not understand
the reason for Judith'S mirth.
IL know my request Is some
thing of a shock" he said. Il can
see you don't know much about
clothes, running around in these
things, but YOU wear them like a
million dollars. You have the fig
ure. the grace, the carriage, the
gestures. Your rhythm shows in
your dancing, too"
So she didn't know much about
clothes-Judith'S laughter halted
i'm sheer amaZcmCnt. This young
man wanted her 70 model in his
show. He expected her 10 display
clothes rather than buy them.
Well, why not?
After all. she couldn't be among
the customers much longer. THIS
would provide an income. Clothes
were her forte. Eventually she
might achieve a partnership with
Mark Price.
"What must | do" she asked.

show. These nitwitS Of II and

sonality. show off the deb things,
but when il comes TO clothes with
appeal and charm for woman
of, say, 2S or 30 or even 30,
what kind of models do we get?
None! A real frock hasn't a
chance TO be displayed well. Now
with you"
As he talked Judith knew that
he was seeing the runway, hear
ing the Tilt of the violinS and the
cello, watching her advance TO
meet the widening applause. She
saw more than the young man
did. She caught the amazement
in the audience a. she appeared.
This boy would have more pub
licitv than ever ne had dreamed.
"I'll do il on one condition"
she said.
And that iS?"
THAT my name be kept out OF
it until the actual appearance. Is
IL a bargain

Millicent's voice, gay and sur
