face, added Hale whitney, 30 and

Married? Why. told you about

Eve was relieved when he did not
offer to kiss her goodnight. She
did not see him again for two
dreary, terror-ridden, jobless weeks.
There was the $5 sent home. News
from home was bad.

wrote, "the garden Is as good as
ever. But we have no money. You
don't know, Eve, what your IS
meant to u.s."
She slipped into summer print,
took a matching turban in her
hand and headed for the Square.
A tall, well dressed man with a
heavy cane sat alone on a bench
near Fourth Street. Eve slipped
beside him and looked up. They
were frogs eyes she looked into,
goggly and protruding.
You koom to sit in the Square, P"
doomed Frogs eyes. ''Idt iss goodt

she should koom too. But Minna,
she will not koom."
So he had eaten. And his Minna.
Eve smiled and rose. AS she
walked she felt giddy. She put
one arm about a tree near the
path. A young man coming toward
her stopped.

She began to eat. Revived by

she could catch glimpse Of Wash

Lots of girls did it; she could take

A BENCH PICKUP
Twenty minutes later she turned
into the Square. Her frock was a
bit faded and her makeup sub
dued. With a fast beating heart
and searching eye she began her
man-hunt. Bench after bench!
There was a seat beside rather
shabby young man with a patch
of mortar on h'- SrouSer leg. DeS-
perately Eve sank beside him. He
turned and looked at her. Good

But under the compulsion of the
eyes she began:

art work. I got a position at a
decorator's-they failed. I know

trailed off.
The young man frowned. This

Ewes heart jumped.
"I've nicer dresses" she said
eagerly. She wondered at the sud-

eyes.

When Eve returned to the bench
where he awaited her, clad in spot
less flannels, he whistled softly.
Eve Holdings clothes were her own

} her lips were cool, and fragrant,
and desirable.
Eve had welcomed that kiss.
There wasn't another chance in
the world for her. And he did
like her. Well, it was way out,
the ONE way. The next day she
got substitute work for four days.
But she knew he would come
When Mrs. Reilly called her on

LOVE IN THE PARK
Looking up at her from the dim
hallway Hale caught his breath.
He was done for and he knew it.
She was a puzzle, but he wanted
her. Night after night found
them on a bench in Central Park.
Holding Ewes soft young body
close, touching her fragrant lips,
was too satisfying to be ques-
toned.
When she returned to her room,
Eve always counted her money.
She could last week, no more.
Then she must be married. Hale
was nice and doubtless she would
be as happy as most people.
$4,000 meant security for her, and
help back home. $4,000 a year
1t was wonderful! Hale never
knew how eagerly Eve waited for
the words he finally spoke:
Eve, let's be married right
away. I don't want to wait"
II don't want to either. But
Hale" when she could speak
again, MY room, must tell Mrs.
Reilly!"
Eve, it's Tuesday. Let's be
married Saturday. I can get the
week end anyhow. Well go to the
Catskills-" Eve sighed in per,
feet content. 1t was done!
Writing home. arranging her
few belongings, Eve moved in a
trance. Everything was all right,
she would eat and the family
have clothes. On Friday night
Hale left early. She sat on her
couch and felt cold chills sweep
her from head to feet.
IT can't go through with it," she
muttered.
There was knock at the door.
Eve opened it to face Mrs. Reilly,
Miss Everett from the third floor.
the old actor, Mr.. Nelson. He was
speaking
Miss Holding, we know you are
going to be married tomorrow. We
wanted to offer our fluctuations. "
Eve took the little packages they
handed her. She gasped.
"Oh, you are too good, too good"
Then through a mist she heard
Mrs. Reilly:
Nov just take it easy, my dear, "
and knew she was clutching that
stout ark. 1t was then sne ~e-
peated:

fortably. "And you so far from

The clock doomed eight. Eve sat
UP, gasped and bounded from bed.
Shower, clothes, she threw her
dress over her head as a double
knock sounded at the door.

the door and stood with his back
against it.
"Eve-I've got to say something.

I'm not fooling myself" he
had to stop for Ewes face was
within an inch of his own.
Her lips were on his, and Hale
was returning that uncensored
kiss with interest. He held her,
wondering, at arms length.
Eve, you do care! But you never
kissed me like that before, never,
never" Eve heard the cricket. But
she must say something. With ali
the guile of the original Eve, she
gave the perfect answer:
