money. Half the women who come
in to my shop on a clothes spree
have broken hearts. Don't you
realize that? You haven't corner
on all the suffering in the world"
That idea had apparently not oc-

Now, I'm going to see you into

tomorrow night I'm going to take
you home with me for the week
end. BY Monday you'll be a differ.
ent person."
Madam was as good as her
word. Saturday night she came
for Lynn and the girl went with
madam to her handsome uptown
apartment. They had a quiet din
ner there, Lynn wearing enc of
madam'S prettieSt negIigees, and
they listened to the radio. Lynn
was tucked into bed at 10 o'clock
and she slept through the night
for the first time since Wild had
left her.
The next morning Madam's IA
vorlte beauty parlor operator ar
rived.
She's going to fix you up"
The girl worked on Lynn's
blonde hair and turned out some
cunning curls over her forehead
and around her temples. Her
nails were done in vivid scarlet.
There, now look at yourself,
Lynn" Madam ordered when the
tWo-hour overhauling was COM
pleted. you're a beautiful girl.
1t is your duty to stay that way.
There's few enough of you in the
world, my dear"
When they had finished dinner,
Madam began to talk about style.
You should begin to study
yourself, Lynn. Learn by trial
and error what you should wear.
You've been letting me dress you.
You'd be lovelier if you'd evolve
your own clothes. You've been
too busy being in love to do any
thing but walk around in a daze.
It's time you got to work. Then
there's another thing. If Rene
goes away, what about you?"
II have my work"
"You don't want to work in my
shop for $50 week all your life.
You've got a career ahead of you"
Madam looked thoughtfully at
the girl: 1--WE had a couple Of
boys into the shop to see about
you for color photography. You'd
model we'll that way. I'd dress
you, and it would not be bad for
me, you know" Madam had an
eye to the main chance.
II couldn't pose for anybody
but Rene, somehow"
Nonsense! You can face a
color camera. can't you?" Madam
smiled: Your coloring is unusual,
you know"
They talked for a long time,
and Lynn felt better. Monday
morning she went to work with
Madam, and although she felt
Weak-kneed and i'll, by noon she
realized that Madam was quite
right. Work is the only anodyne
which is sure.
When night came, Lynn seemed
to wilt. Madam, seeing her as
she put on her hat, knew what
Lynn was feeling. Always, when
the lights came on, Wild had been
waiting for her.
Lynn went out into the night.

and walked down to Rene's studio.
She found him there alone.
Il hoped you'd come, I'm hun.

turned on the light. when do
we eat?"
Rene's old cry! Lynn smiled in
spite of herself, and she went out
to shop for their supper.
Lynn was glad of something to
occupy her mind. She cooked
them fine supper of lamb chops,
and Rene talked about his work.
Marty dropped in. seemed un-

But, then, Marty was always tact.

nodded.

"I am" Marty squinted up at
Lynn as she gave him a cup of
coffee.
Half the boys in town are
screaming for you, Lynn. What
do you say to that, Rene?"
Rene shrugged: They show
good taste!"
you're the ideal model, Lynn"
That's what Nine. Reanoud
said. She wants me to do some
Photographic modelling"
Common trade, eh?" Marty
launched. Might be a good idea.
I think you've been in that dress
shop long enough. And if you
wanted to pose for some of the
illustrators you would have time"
II wish you'd talk to Nine. Rea-
noud for me. Marty"
"I'll do what I can. You should
have a good agent, Lynn.
