October that Lynn went to her
first "first night" It was a great
thrill"
LYNN DISTURBED ABOUT
GOSSIP ITEM
Wild knew everybody, and he
was proud of the sensation the
new models beauty made Wher.
ever she went. And they were in
vited to many parties. But they
went to few. Lynn had to be in at
a reasonable hour, for she was at
Rene's studio at 8 every morning
They were bound to get into
the gossip columns. Wild was so
vel. known and Lynn such SEN
sation as a model, that that was
only natural. But the first time
lit happened, Lynn was shocked.
That gorgeous blonde with
Wild Austin at last nights shin
dig at the Morosco Theater is the
model you see in this issue of the
Dispatch.
1T looks like a three-alarm
They are at the hand-holding
stage"
Lynn did not see the item, but
everybody in the shop did. When
Lynn got to work there were five
peopl ready and waiting with
the clipping.
How can I face Wild?" Lynn
asked Madam.
HE won't mind. He's used to
publicity. Think nothing of it.
That just shows how you've come
up In the world in six months!"
But Lynn was not to be so easily
conSoled. When Wild met her that
night after work she was embar.
rassed. AS for Wild, he was little
nervous about the matter, since it
| had not been mentioned at home.
He knew quite well that his mother
must have seen the item. The
thing which worried him was her
silence.
They're giving me the silent
treatment" He smiled little rue
fully as he unused. Let 'em. What
can they do?"
When he saw Lynn's face he
realized how upset she was over
the matter.
Think nothing of it," he said,
giving her hand a squeeze. What
do you want to do tonight?"
1t was easier these days to leave
Rene. now that she was working
for him each morning. Besides, he
was meeting new friends who in
sisted on entertaining him. He had
cleaning woman in every day,
and his night meal sent in from
the restaurant. The two were NOV
ing up fast in the world, and it was
easy to slip into a more comfort
able way of living almost without
their realizing it.
Lynn and Wild had found in
Vulnerable interesting little restau-
rants around the city. They had
their pet names for them. Tonight
Lynn decided she wanted to go to
a little French restaurant where
they served the best filet of sole
Marguery in the city.
1t was a quaint little place, with
a garden for Summer dining. Even
now the windows looked out over
the back garden and the proprietor
always saved a special table for
Wild. Lynr liked the little baskets
in which the bread was served
and the cheese board.
Some day, Lynn, we'll have din.
ner IN Paris at just such a little
place" Wild promised. Which
brings me to something else" He
leaned across the table. when are
you going to marry me?"
Not since that awful morning
after Wild had come to her apart
ment had he asked her that ques.
ton. There was fear in Lynn's
eyes.
What is it. darling?"
Should Lynn Tell Wild?
The girl was trembling, but she
could not force herself to answer
She must tell him! But when she
looked into his eyes she lost cour-
age. If she were out of this restau-
rant, maybe she could manage.
Later, when they left the eating
place. Lynn suggested going up to
her apartment.
I'm tired. Wild. We can build a
fire"
Maybe then, she could tell him
the truth about her and Rene.
Later in the quiet apartment
with the fire burning, Lynn walked
