Sandy's thoughts. With a vacant
smile he acknowledged her friend
~ warning, and, gulping the re-
mainder :, Of his coffee swiftly
walked out into the night.
The newspaper item which had
disturbed him so seriously was OBJ
viously a publicity release sent
out by the Warren Publishers. an

tation Of an important new book,

ticle was mention Of a tea which
Garrett Warren was giving some
weeks later to honor their prom
Using new artist.
So, Marcia was achieving her
much-wanted success! Decidedly,
this seemed an inauspicious time
even to suggest marriage to a
busy young illustrator; she prob
ably would not be inclined to take
him on any terms, Sandy thought
despondently. Literally pocketing
his new found determinations, he
decided the wiser course in his
lengthy siege Of Marcia's heart
was to wait a little longer. In all
fairness he should give her an OPP
portunity to enjoy her success be-
fore he asked her to choose be-
tween it and him, or to allow him
to claim as much Of her heart as
he could hold.
II seem to go from one extreme
to the other" he unused ruefully.
First won't have her on any
terms than my own; and now I
don't dare ask for her at all until
she has had her surfeit of success.
Maybe it's foolish, but I think it's
the only fair thing to do"
The next day Sandy flung him.
self into his work with intentional
abandon, deciding it was the best
way to keep his mind occupied
until the time he could go to Mar
cia. The girl, too, was engrossed
in her work, marking time as far
as any personal emotions were
concerned. She had exhausted all
feelings against the interfering
Paula and was conscious only of a
desolate sense Of loss that Sandy
could be so easily taken from her.
what makes women want to
work? In an Office, mean?" It
was Garrett putting a sincere
question before Marcia. 1--WE often
wondered why so many seem to
prefer the dirty, firing world Of
business to the pleasure Of their
own home. and friends-and fam
ily."
Necessity sometimes. Sheer
boredom, too guess" Marcia
answered him absently. She had
moved her easefs down to vacant
room in his. offices, for the press
Of work was demanding that she
be continually available. She
wore her perennial smock, now
generously smeared with puppies
and reds, and she didn't look up as
he spoke.
I'm serious. l can't imagine
how any woman would want to
venture out in a world so viciously
competitive and, SO thoughtless Of

thinking sadly that she had lost
Sandy. The time was never more
opportune for his arrival than at
that moment. The continually
changing cross currents of their
lives even then were pulling them
away from one another, just as
surely as Sandy's gray car pulled
away from the darkened apart
ment.
The man stopped at a corner res
taurant to have a late snack before
returning home, for he felt raven
ously hungry now that he had sue
cessfully weathered two crises in
that one night: First the nerve
wracking experience with Paula,
and finally the momentous decision
regarding Marcia. With no thought
Of the hour he ordered a minute
steak and French-fried potatoes,
coffee and piece Of pie. Even the
little waitress smiled when she
took this substantial order.
I'm practicing up to be the fat
man in sideshow," he admitted
seriously. "By the way, do you
like circuses 2" With seeming ir.
reverence he questioned the girl.
and watched her enthusiastic re-
Spouse to his advance. Poor kid,
working all hours of the night-she
probably welcomed any such inper-
sonal conversation as relief from
the bold and insinuating remarks
Of many Of her late patrons.
"Why, how did you know" she
smiled frankly. II used to be the
tattooed lady's favoEite daughter.

tons ?" he said, between mouthfuls.
"I guess they just weren't water.
proof, and one awful Saturday
|night-pfff!" she laughed, then
moved on down the counter as she
busted herself in keeping order.
Still interested in the girl who
seemed so out-of- place in her
mental task, he inquired how she
happened to be so employed.
well, in the days Of Horatio
A1ger, women just sat home and
sewed fine seams until some DASH

hands. Me, I can't sew-and !

out Intentionally making a bid for
his sympathy. Obviously, she con-
sidered husband her only escape
from this life, and Sandy grinned
self consciously. 1883. .~
He thought the conversation had
progressed far enough, so he
propped up the morning news
paper in front Of his cup, and dill
gently started to read the first
thing he happened to see. And
what he read made him slam down
the paper vehemently, and stare
absently into space.

thoughts. The marrying kind"
of man seldom employed this lat
ter type.
Marcia swiftly brought the con-
versation to a climax by asking
Iona why she had called and
laughed as she heard the hurt tones
on the wire. why, darling. just
wanted to hear your artistic voice
once again. How is Art, anyway?
Oh, yes-and I wanted to ask you
to a tremendous shebang I'm hav-
ing this weekend"
"Im so busy" Marcia protested,
| but the other cut her off.
Nonsense, you're one OF my
favorite lions now and I've got to
show you off to my friends. Incl
dentally, can you jump through
hoops?"
The girl was inclined to refuse
the invitation, but realizing how
indebted she was to Iona, she
changed her mind graciously. "All
right, I'd really love to come. But
I'm warning you, no exhibitions!
I'm just coming down to have g.
nervous breakdown" and Marcia
looked weary enough to carry out
her threat.
"Want me to ask anyone special
for you? Gary?" came Lona's
voice.
mo. Wer-yes" she quickly
changed her mind. Malibu would
be the ideal place to discuss pre-
lininary plans for the new book,
and for that reason alone Marcia
eagerly seized the opportunity to
include Gary in the party. Eyes,
I'll ask him myself. And thanks"
Hanging up the receiver, she
turned to Gary. 'Would you like
to drive me down to Lona's for the
weekend? We probably can evade
the crowds and it might be jolly"
For minute Garrett thought
she was anticipating the pleasure
of a weekend with him, when sud-
denly the thought of the book
struck him, too. !
you're not by any chance think
| ing Of putting me to work, are
you?" he asked, disappointment
creeping into his voice. ;
"Why no, not at ALL" Marcia
disclaimed quickly, too quickly.
But the man was so gratified by
her assurance that he didn't notice
her haste.
"Good, then I'll go"
They left the Office together and
strolled down the busy street con-
genially. Crowds of workers were
pushing their way out of the tall
buildings, obviously happy with
the release from monotonous work. |
I'm rather glad to be leaving
town, aren't your" Marcia asked,
recognizing physical need for
the wind-swept spaces by the sea.
@"Glad to be leaving with you,
Marcia" he replied pointedly.
Then making definite arrange
1Qents about picking her up in the
morning, he left her at the corner
for an important matter of BUSH
ness" he explained.
IF she could have seen him
walking into the wide entrance Of
Wentzels, the most expensive and
exclusive jeWeler in town, she
might have had cause to wonder.

personalities, unless it was vitality
necessary. l realize some poor
unfortunates have to work to eat
But l mean those who have nus
bands to support them"
THAT must be just pure greed,
Marcia admitted, putting down
her palette. Although guess
some women honestly figure they
are economically more valuable in
an Office, hiring someone to do un-
accustomed housework. Once they
get used to working and having
their own money, it's hard to
change. Look at Ellen"
Then look at you"
"But l haven't any hush"
Marcia bit her tongue for bring
ing the conversation around to
this subject, then changed 1t
quickly. Eyes. look at me. I'm
just one of the crazy individuals
who has a love of work in her
soul; 1 can't seem to tear myself
away from it. l like it, l eat it!
It's my life!" Then more softly
she admitted, tits all have, 1
must love it"
Somewhat ashamed Of her out
burst, she picked up her brushes
again and started to work, paint
ing viciously and effectively with
the wild colorS that so suited her
mood.
Garrett smiled to himself, graft
fed. At last he had discovered a
more human emotion under the
surface of the artist: she was
about to admit that a wonan's
life was not complete without the
satisfaction Of love. He knew she
had time for few other men since
she had started working with
him, and had hopes that she might
soon see him in the role he wanted
to play: her husband.
"Have you seen the papers, Mar
cia ?" he asked, in a more matter
of-fact tone. There's a very fine
tribute paid to you in this article"
he said, and handed her the marked
copy Of the paper Sandy had read.
She scanned it hurried1y, then a
broad smile settled on her face.
I'm really to have a chance at
that new story you've been brag-
ging about? Oh, Gary, can hard
ly believe it. Do you think / can
do it? What's it about ?" She
jumped up excitedly, and she
tugged on CARROTS coat sleeve to
hurry his answer. W
"Unhand me-" he told her, then
I'll tell you the good news. That
is, if you think you can stand it ?"
The telephone interrupted his re-
mark, and Marcia disappointedly
picked up the phone. Eyes, who
is it ?" she asked casually.
tits Iona, my dear. 1 thought
I'd catch you in Gary's Office, you
fraud. You seem to be camping
there these days. How're you do
ing?" her voice came, facetious
and fond, over the wires.
Rushed, as usual,'''. She an
swered in business-like tone, not
wanting to encourage Lona's per-
sonal suggestions.
Strictly business, suppose 2"
came the teasing reply, and Mar
cha blushed swiftly. Why did peo-
pie, particularly Iona, always
feel it essential that girl fall in
love with her employer. Accord
ing to her own experience. she'd
found it almost never happened.
