pl0yed by q rival firm in Los Angeles.

him is secondary, they part in huff
and return separately to Los Angeles.
Led to believe she is to be taken into
Abe zimrnerman's firm, Marcia is dis
appointed when she finds that one Walt

during her vacation; Sandy. becomes
working on the same account on which
he has pinned high hopes. Marcia s
firm wins the coveted account but she
feels badly because of Sandy's loss and
goes to see him. At odds with Sandy
again, Marcia accepts night club in
vitation from Hartley, whom she mis-
trusts, and arrangeS to obtain Ellen
Sanders, a girl at the Office, for
q friend of his, Tony Elliott. The four
go to a party at Iona Won Brecht's s,
a screen celebrity, where Marcia meets
an acquaintance, Paula Stoddard an
art student. Marcia recommends Sandy
Knight when Paula tells her she is
seeking an opening in an advertising
agency. Marcia calls on Sandy to sug-
gest an account that her own agency
has given up trying to obtain. In the
outer office, as Marcia departs, Paula is
sitting. waiting for job.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY:

/ herself was vitality interested in
her work, she had enough feeling
left for sports and people-and for
Sandy, if he'd let her. But Lander
had no time except for work: she
was an introvert, inclined to be
morbid and certainly she derived
little pleasure from living.
Getting back to Lander's ques-
ton, Marcia explained that the
variety kept her alert and well in
formed-one of the real advantages
to her job. "And I don't feel it is
a bit beneath me to draw plOws or
washing machines. It brings you
down to earth once in while, and
makes you appreciate the things
you really like to do. Like this"
and she displayed some of the fine
ly done CHARMING proofs and
other sketches in the process Of
being completed.
One sheet dropped to the floor
and as she picked it up. to stare at
the figure of a girl generously dis
playing Sheer-Sheen hosiery, she
thought of Sandy. Why shouldn't
he get this account, if Abe was
definitely out Of the running? She
felt he needed the extra business,
even though he was fairly busy
Eservicing the southern branches of
some of the accounts officially
handled through the San Francisco
Office.
Diminishing Lander hurriedly, she
reached for the phone, then decided
to call at Sandy's Office. He had
made a few changes in his small
headquarters, and had a screened
off section for his own desk. Pok-
ing her head around the barricade,
she went demurely in.
"It's that woman again." she
said. "And you mustn't look a gift
horse in the teeth. Look at what
I've come to bring you." Without
giving him a chance to do more
than greet her, she launched into
the. possibilities of the Sheer-Sheen
account.
"Are you sure you won't get in
trouble for passing this tip along
to me?" Sandy asked, while his
eyes caressed her from the tip Of
the jaunty green feather on her
hat to the tiny brogues on her
feet. Marcia assured him Abe was
disinterested, and started for the
door.
IT don't want to risk another
misunderstanding" she said in ex-
PLANTATION of her brief visit; tits

hope you get the Sheer-Sheen. Call
me up?"
Better than that, I'll come over

my best behavior" Sandy prom
Used.
Flushed with pleasure at this
semi-victory, Marcia went into the
outer Office, there to confront
Paula Stoddard, whom she had
sent to Sandy in an unguarded
moment the night before. Instinc:-
lively she resented the eager young
girl with a portfolio of drawings

look in her lazy gray eyes.

she would be crazy in a week.

used, the type or work to which


she was particularly adapted.
Sandy looked over her shoulder
indulgently at first, and then with
genuine interest. While her work
was definitely amateurish, it
showed unusual perception and
depth of feeling. Her landscapes
were poor, but some Of the infor-
NAL sketches of women showed
real promise and her styled de-
signs were full Of imagination and
romance. Sandy stopped over, 60
ing over one after another, compli-
menting, rejecting or celebrating
over each one. Paula was on her
knees, thrusting new subject into
his hands as he finished with the
previous one.
Suddenly he jumped up, ran his
hand sheepishly through his hair
and grinned. II guess I'm the kid,
not you," he apologized, "but
somehow like to spread things
out so can get good comparison.
Miss Stoddard, I really think you
have excellent possibilities as an
artist. But, honestly, I can't afford
to take anyone in who hasn't had
any previous experience in an
agency. You don't know anything
about requirements for commercial
work-the technical and economic
factors. Why don't you go
back"
Paula interrupted him. Go
back to school? What will learn
there except more theory? I'm
drenched in it, 1 ooze theory from
my very fingertips. If it's a ques-
ton of money, Mr.. Knight, I have
enough to last me quite a little
time. And I'd rather be working
in this office for nothing than pay
ing out more money to the school.
Haven't you anything could work
on, just to show you what can
do?"
Sandy stopped to consider. He
was in serious need of an artist,
particularly if he was going to try
and get new business. Prospective
ly presented perhaps, but some
thing on which to base real cam
paign. Heretofore he had "farmed
out" his art assignments at ex-
orbitant prices, and even then not
been able to get what he wanted
without costly supervision. If he
let this youngster work in the
Office, at least he could direct her
efforts and get some presentable
ideas to submit-then have them
finished up by professional if
necessary. The idea began to have
more than one advantage.
"Well, I won't make any prom
ises as to how long it'll last, but
I'll let you come in on these condi-
lions. I'll pay you for any work
that is accepted. or for any ideas
that we can develop into actual
sales. Of course that isn't much,
but really can't afford to pay a
salary until you begin to justify
yourself. I have bunch you may
be able to help me on this Sheer
Sheen account that Miss Madden
suggested, so now sit down and let
me tell you what I have in mind.
That is, if you're still interested?"
Paula radiantly assured him that
she was grateful for the opportu-
nifty.
For two hours they discussed
copy and art angles for the hosiery
firm, Paula sketching rapidly as
new ideas occurred to her from his
discussion. She was quick to
catch his ideas and once, when she
made a comic sketch of a pert
young lady, Sandy grabbed her
arm, That's the way, that's it. BY
the Lord Harry. I believe you've
hit on something. Let's use this
character for the whole series.

CHAPTER IS

MARCIA closed the door Of
Sandy's Office breathlessly, ther
paused to wonder the cause Of hel
unexpected emotion. Surely there
was nothing about Paula Stoddard
the unassuming young artist, tt
cause her concern.
But her heart was pounding har6
within her bosom, and for the first
time she wondered at the wisdom
of leaving Sandy to the prey OF
other women, who might not be toe
particular about poaching on some
one else's property. Then she re-
assured herself: Paula had little
but youth to recommend her. Hel
brown hair was thick and tawny
but without the slightest wave, and
she wore it unbecomingly with only
a childish comb to hold it from
Slipping over her forehead. Marcia
admitted the girl had lovely eyes
large and gray, with a wistful, al
most soulful expression. But hel
nose was too small, her mouth toe
thin-lipped and set. Her face ha6
a translucent pallor, devoid OF
makeup. Her first description
"colorless''. seemed aptly to de-
scribe the girl.
Paula was puzzled by Marcia's
curt greeting and her hasty exit,
but forgot it quickly in her panic
at applying for her first position
When Sandy came out of his office
to greet her, she trembled obvious
ly and her mouth could hardly
formulate the words, II am Paula
Stoddard, and I came to you for
work."
Sandy thoughtfully led her into
his Office, set her at ease with a
few generalities, then began to
question her about her work.
Paula .11ervously played with the
watch on her arm as she told him
her experience at art school and
her anxiety to get position. She
conided in d quaint way that she
had been preparing all her life for
just such an opportunity as he
could give her.

really can draw. Look!"

ever you see her your say Sheer
Sheen. It's a natural!"
Paula glowed under his praise,
and when she finally got up to go
home her head was giddy from the
afternoons concentration. Before
she left she had promised Sandy to
be in early in the morning to start
work in earnest.
At first slightly ashamed of his
shrewish bargaining with the mex
perienced Paula, Sandy gradually
came to feel that the association
would prove to their mutual adj
vantage. They spent an intensive
week of work on the hosiery ac-
count, Paula thrilled and fattered
at the confidence he put in her
judgment.
It was the middle of September
before Sandy felt he had enough
data assembled to make a con-
vincing presentation to Anderson
of the Sheer Sheen company. True
to his promise, he called at Mar
cia's one evening to discuss this
and other prospects his young COM
pany had.
AS he touched enthusiastically
on one subject and another, Mar.
cia wondered about the inner
Sandy. Did he still love her with
the same devastating love, forcibly
subdued during this call-or had
his ardor cooled so that he could
talk so glibly of business without
injecting anything personal in the
conversation "a
"Tm eternally grateful to you
for sending Paula Stoddard to me-"
Sandy confded during lull. They
were sitting on the low ottoman on
the stool in front of the window,
watching the Pickering lights of
the boulevard. "She works like a
little demon, and her stuff is not
half bad, you know"
Paula ? Oh, yes" Marcia wished
she could tell him that she was
tired of the very name. He had
included it in so much of his con-
versation that evening that she felt
a strange sense of foreboding.
"I wish I could be working with
you instead of her." Marcia said
wistfully. 1--WE could have such
fun, building a business up from
scratch. I thought you were going
to suggest it the other day when I
was in your Office"

think I could ever restrain myself
if you were beside me all day. It's
bad enough to see you occasionally
without losing my self-control. l
want the woman, Marcia; not the
artist. In your heart you know
I'm right. Let's not discuss it, my
dear, not unless one of us has

other"
1T all seems so useless: you
love me, but you won't take me the
way I am. I love you, and can't
have you. What's the way out for
us, Sandy? ?" Marcia stated the
case clearly, and it was a long time
before the man answered.
