and the girl who had been first in
Garry's heart for a while were the
same, Barbara sensed. She was
glad that she was chic and well
dressed tonight. Now she MUIR
INJURED a complimentary phrase or
two and turned to the door. Garry
was welcoming some more guests.
Ray, who had been watching with
sardonic CLINT in his eyes, said
clearly:
''You have fine chance in this
play to do something big, Misc
Aver"
Meaning that I don't live up ty
it?" she flashed back.
"Just a remark" he answered.
Ready, Barbara ?"
Wenda wasn't through. "Oh,
Miss Kingsley" she called to Bar
bara, "Bobbie adored you. It
broke his heart that he didn't even
learn your name. Any time you
want to hire out as a governess,
we've spot for YOU"
Boobies a nice kid" Garry
came back to say. Funny I
didn't know he was talking about
you when he came down. Come
to think of it, I didn't realize it
was your magazine even. This
plays getting me batty."
eff I ever want a job" Bar
bara murmured vehemently when
she was back on the street with
Ray. "Ray, I don't exactly love
that woman"
"I shouldn't wonder" Ray
agreed. '.Lots of her kind around.
But don't go getting the theater
filed with people like that in your
mind. It's got swell folk in it
most of them are, tops. Now and
then a Wenda Aver, who has tall
ent, goes along"
"She does have ability. She'll
probably be sitting on the moon
some day. She and Garry should
travel far. I'm proud of him, Ray.
Thanks for coming along. /,
Thus, it became natural for Ray
to call Barbara, now and then.
He maintained his bantering, light
hearted air. Nothing was serious
to him. Nothing was worth too
much effort, he said. He wanted
to get assigned to one of the for.
eign posts and watch history in the
making. He had been promised
the next berth in central Europe.
The magazine became more and
more important in Barbara's life.
A department devoted to children's
styles was being opened and she
was assigned to assist with the
new venture. Therefore, late one
afternoon, she went to keep an APP
pointment with an important cour.
turier who had promised to design
a dress or two for eight-year-olds,
as an amusing sideline.
The woman was engaged at the
moment that Barbara arrived, and
an assistant asked if she would
wait for a few minutes in one of
the dressing rooms. Sitting in a
small silver chair, near a vast blue
dressing table, Barbara was
watching a dozen reflections of
herself in the tall cheval mirrors
that lined the room when the
outer door opened. A model, in
a white tulle evening gown
splashed with silver sequins, was
entering, calling to someone as she
came through the door. She
turned her head and noticed there
was someone in the room.
ooh, I didn't know the room
was occupied" she began in a
well-modulated voice. Then, sur
prise broke it's serenity. "Babbsw
Barbara looked up into her
cousin Julia's blue eyes.

He nodded. my mothers got
a new husband and went to Paris
and Aunt Wenda's keeping me-"
"FIow about school? Isn't it
difficult for you to live in hotel?"
Barbara knew that Wenda had a
suite in an expensive Park avenue
hotel.

was going to one where you live
all the time but she said I'd better
stay here while. The boys at
school don't like me, though"
Barbara's face did not alter ex-
preston. She realized that this
was a confidence, precious one,
and she must handle it carefully.
Perhaps the little boy had searched
for a long time for someone to
whom to make it.
That's funny" the russell
: haired girl answered matter-of-
| factly. II should think everyone
would"
The sandwiches came, and with
them the art director who declared
that the studio was ready. Robert
Kerns was looking the way q
happy little boy ought to look now.
Fiercely, Barbara realized that
the child needed love- sympathy,
and understanding. His aunt's
selfishness was squeezing him dry,
frightening him. It would do the
same thing to Garry. If he mar
ried her, his own laughter and
initiative would perish under her
selfish demands. Yet sometimes
men liked to be slaves to women
who were spoiled and pettish. But
surely, surely not Garry!
The pictures were nearly fin
ished, when the scent of perfume,
subtle and quiet and sweet as rain
in an old-fashioned flower garden,
came drifting from the doorway.
Barbara looked up, a pleased smile
on her face. Then the smile died.
She knew the woman who wore
the scent only from pictures.
1t was Wenda Aver who had
come for Robert. Her eyes were
dark brown, under bang of hair
as yellow as honey. or new butter.
She was taller than Barbara and
just as slim. She wore a ridicu-
lousy small black hat that re-
vealed her hair, and a mink coat
which opened to reveal dress of
the same royal yellow. Her voice
was rich and throaty.
"Bobbie, darling, aren't you
ready?"
you're Miss Aver, of course ?"
Barbara asked. "Bobbie will be
with you in just a moment"
The gray-green eyes were &C
knowledging Wenda's loneliness.
Without malice, the girl in the
black crepe frOck, whose neck was
draped with huge green handker-
chief that Garry had brought her
from London months before, adj
mitted that she could not equal
Wenda's glamor. If the surface
view merited the longest glance,
Wenda was leading and would al
ways lead with girls who were sort
of. red-headed and had seven
freckles. on their noses, though
they were willing to share and give
| selflessly and lavishly.
! Miss Aver was speaking again.
IT wonder if I might borrow
telephone, please ?"
"Of course" Barbara nodded.
won't you come into my office ?"
| Waiting a moment to see that
Wenda Aver got her connection
correctly, Barbara heard her give
| a number that was engraved for
ever in her own heart. Eldorado
| 3-4555. Garry's number.
She turned blindly, went out Of
the Office, and closed the door.

a rock, frightened at the damage
that might come should they
touch it's end.
They did not escape Garry,
though. He found them between
the first and second acts.

Wenda after the play, won't you ?"
he asked. Then he corrected him.

What do you think of the play?"
cit lives up to the things I ex-
pected, Garry. It's honest and
fine"
do you like the changes we've
made?"
She nodded. 'sI was watching
for the old lines, though. The new
are much better, of course, but
the others were old friends"
If Garry, too, remembered how
some of them had come into being
as he sat in the great stuffed chair
by her fire and read the manu-
script to her, changing and re-
vising as he went on, his express
sion did not show it. His answer
was as impersonal as the throng
who laughed and chatted in the
lobby.
The play went on. The audience
was silent at times, and mirthful
at others. It was not great
play, Barbara admitted. It might
have been had the producer left
Garry free to develop his theme in
his own manner. But it was a
good play and it would be a sue
ccssful play. He had pretended
that he liked the changes but she
knew that he did not. The very
thing he had tried to create was
gone. His genius she admitted
that he had it-had been tied to
earth because boxof1ce receipts
were important and this earthi-
ness would bring more people.
When Garry's name was made,
then he could choose his own
heights.
And Wenda would fly with him
! Wenda's dressing room was
filed with people and flowers as
Garry brought Barbara and Ray
into it. 1t was almost as though
she was the star of the play, Bar
bara unused. She admitted, with
her innate honesty, that Wenda
was a mighty good actress,
though.
Wenda held out a friendly hand
to her and her eyes smiled as
though she were glad to meet her.
Barbara, knowing that this was
part of her off-stage act, still mar
veled at the skill with which the
other girl carried out her role.
Then Wenda's eyes grew puzzled.
