| time in the spring, and said good
bye. She was sailing the next day.
Always before, during the weeks
that she had been Independent and
unwanted, Judy had cherished a
secret consolation that she could
turn to her parents if matters grew
too bad. They did not want her,
but they would do their duty. Now
the gate had closed, the key had
turned, and she might look at the
tall walls forever. She was on the
outside.
She felt lonely. Ronald called her
a time or two but he was quite
busy. So was Marjorie. The social
season was in full swing. 1t was
a month yet until the fashion group
which was sponsoring the contest
in design would make a decision.
With a curiously let-down feeling
Judy took the train, in November
twilight, to the great estate Of the
Bolands on Long Island. She had
been hired solely on Ronald's rec
ommendatiOn. .
A station wagon met her, and
the chauffeur piled her bags and
boxes inside. There were few
snowfakes in the air. The road
ran along the Sound for half mile.
and the clear, cold air was invigor-
ating and fresh. 1t was good to be
away from the city, she thought.
Some place in the distance a light
house lamp blinked.
Here was the drive, winding and
wide. At its far end there loomed
q vast white house, whose galleries
and ellis and additions stretched
away. Lights shone, and a car or
1.-TWO were parked at the driveway,
at the side Of the entrance. Q
She had an impression Of wealth
as she followed the butler into the
hall, and another servant up the
deeply carpeted stairs to her own
suite. She liked the bedroom at
once. TWAS green and white, with
cushions heaped on the wide WIN
dow seats and the chaise lounge.
There was an open wood fire, big
desk with a typewriter in an al
cove, shelf of the latest books,
yellow roses in copper bowls.
Living in the Boland residence
might be nice, after all. She Won
dered where and when she would
eat. She was hungry. A maid
solved the problem. She appeared
with tray, covered with a crisp
white napkin. There was clea. hot

CHAPTER II

Judy WAS reluctant to tell
Ronald Birrell what her new job
was going to be. She wondered at
her own hesitation. He was not
her guardian. He was just a red
headed young man, with friendly
eyes, a god natured grin, tongue
that could be more than sarcastic
in variance with that grin, and a
disturbing way of making her adj
here to his suggestions.
"Why shouldn't I tell him ?" she
admonished herself. Alone in the
shadowy rooming house hall she
threw her head high, tossed her
auburn curls back with a flash of
spirit, and said:
"Tm joining the Danceland
crew."
"Say it again."
"Danceland-you know, the place
where a man pays dollar, en-
circles girls waist with a manly
arm, and makes three trips around
the floor while swing band goes

By twelve o'clock it seemed to
Judy that in all her life she never
had been so tired. The pursuit Of

was a pleasant stroll compared to
this endless rhythmic beat to which
she must keep step. SoL, OF the

she did not guess at the cameras

was her dress, of course. Being q

football, and fishing rods, instead

"Where?" Pete asked. Then his
eyes widened. sHoly smoke, Jeff,
you've got the wrong girl! She

up the evening wrap she had worn

Judy glanced at him curiousiy. It
was difficult to remember that his
link went back TO cabin on a
Tennessee hillside, just a few miles
removed from the comfortable
houses in the valleys and the lower
hills. Again she was impressed,
with the integrity, the honesty, the
fearIessness Of this man who
seemed to be forever rescuing her.,
He would not let her down. Sud-.
denly she knew that she did not
want him to go out Of her life. She
did not love him. Marriage and ro-.

cause I've always had dresses, too
