Beware Coughs
from common colds
That Hang On

No matter how many medicines you
have tried for your common cough,
chest cold, or bronchial irritation, you
may get relief now with CreomulSion.
Serious trouble may be brewing and you
cannot afford to take chance with any
remedy less potent than CreomulSion,
which goes right to the seat of the trou-
BILE and aids nature to Soothe and heal
loosen and expel germ-laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed.
don't be discouraged, try Creomulsion.
Your druggist is authorized to refund
your money if you are not thoroughly
satisfied with the benefits obtained.
Creomulsion is one word, ask for it
plainly, see that the name on the bottle
is Creomulsion, and you'll get the
genuine product and the relief you
want. (Adv.)

over me-" she announced plaintively.
Service stripes, the Legion Of Hon
or" Claire said mockingly. But when
Ann was unsympathetic about wang
ling discount for Bernice, her sisters
were indignant over her 'selfishness.
Since they lost prestige by her
wretched job, why shouldn't she make
it up to them by getting their things
on her charge-account with twenty
percent off?
1t was not only at home that things
were often unpleasant for honest Ann,
but in business as we'll.
1t was increasingly borne in on her
that Renita Parrish was frantically
jealous of her over Gordon Gavin of
the advertising.
And that Brenda Selz detested her.
Absolutely.
There was the appalling affair of
the masks and dominoes to be con-
sidered!
Thinking to propitiate Brenda and
also do service to the store with
goods that would not sell, Ann, acting
for Bernice, chairman of the commit
tee for the Ice Carnival, had put in
a thousand dollars order for the masks
and dominoes.
But on the big night, for economy
reasons, very many people brought
their own.
Only fifty out of the two hundred
pairs of masks and dominoes were
purchased. Seven hundred and fifty
dollars worth of merchandise had to
be returned to Barclay & Weiss, to
AIMS chagrin.
$50 you outdid your authority, and
we have to pay the piper!" was the
and ungracious comment
of Brenda Selz. Forgotten was the
fact that it was her initial error of
judgment that had overloaded the Gift
Shop with Halloween accoutrement
that would not sell to the public. She
took the story to AIMS failure in this
to Paul Bradley and was
delighted to find one of the stores
two owners in his office, Mr.. Herman
Weiss.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1938-10-07

"But this girl, this Miss Delafield,
is responsible" said Mr.. Weiss iras-
chilly, "if she makes mistakes Of this
sort, we must let her CO."
With a nod, the Merchandise-Man-
ager dismissed the Gift Shop buyer.
Knowing the lack of method on most
Charity Committees, and particularly
with the juniors up and down Park
Avenue, he knew that it was unfair
to blame Ann Delafield entirely for
the fault of the too optimistic COM
mittee Of the Carnival.
He explained this fact to Herman
Weiss when Brenda Selz had depart
ed. Seeing the owner still dubious,
he added that the Gift Shop buyer
had been stuck with her own order till
the new 'comparison-shopper' had
thought of this plan to help her out.
Mr.. Weiss had few illusions, and
knew human nature on its seamiest
side. He bracketed Brenda and Ann
together as needing watching, but
confined himself to saying curtly that
incompetence had no place in depart
ment store.
AS a matter of fact, and with good
reason, he loathed Society having suf
fered indirectlyy thereby. Hadn't his
wife and daughters the most absurd
social ambitions, and had nagged him
into moving from the comfortable old
house on Riverside Drive to an elabo-
rate apartment that cost him pref
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1938-10-07

Yet-and how she had thrilled tC
it, unknown to him!-he had told hel
in the same breath, as it were, that
the little Society comparison-shopp
he had lauded had been prettier than
the cocktail hostess.
Fortunately for AIMS incognito
there had been several other red skat-
ing costumes at Madison Square Gar
den that night.
He had looked for Ann at the un-
after midnight and he had asked about
masking. Bernice had spoken to him
girl in scarlet who was a good skat-
er, and Bernice had carelessly thought
he was referring to Carol Ditmar,
Claire's friend.
Carols bright, fur-trimmed label,
and Carols bright, predatory eyes had
lighted during unmasking, on the hand
some, unattached Paul Bradley, whom
she had once before met.
Always on the lookout for flirta-
ton and for new bridge cronies, Carol
insisted she had been Paurs skating
partner, and invited the crowd to "Le
Cochon Qui Rit" for further libations.
Dubious as to her statement, but
sufficiently interested to prove it,
Paul had accompanied the Delafield
sisters and Carol, with Freddy and
Captain de Freyn and others, to their
latest hang-out.
He hadn't stayed there long. He
had been bored.
They were all frankly tight, and
very silly, he considered. He was
quite sure that the gushing Mrs. Dit
mar was certainly not the girl who
had intrigued him at the Carnival.
AS a parting souvenir of their con-
versation, Ann had given him, from
her bracelet, tiny onyx cat. He had
snapped it on his platinum watch
chain, amusedly, from whence it had
winked up at him with pin-point eyes
of emerald. He smiled as he looked
at it.
That Claire and Bernice were AIMS
sisters, he had not the faintest no
ton. or did they connect him in any
way with Ann.
They did not relish her new job,
socially speaking, and would not en-
courage her to speak about the store
in after-business hours. Rather a
for a Delafield!" Claire
would say bitingly.
And yet Claire did not scorn to
make use of AIMS connection with
the store-most uncomfortably for
the latter, as she was to discover.
"There's lady just ordered fifteen
dollars worth of cosmetics and per-
fumery on your charge account with
twenty per cent off, Miss Delafield,"
a worried salesgirl informed Ann.
"I don't think you understand that
the discount is only for employees,
and for goods bought to wear in the
store. 1t certainly doesn't include
ones relations, Miss Delafield," she
told Ann sharply.
"I'm sorry. Forget about it." With
two red spots in each cheek, Ann was
loyal to Claire.
But she got no thanks for it from
her self-indulgent sister, who was fur
ous at not receiving the silk stock
ngs with discount.
Then Bernice needed new gowns
for her job in "Le Cochon Qui Rit."
People keep spilling cocktails all

"Then she could begin at the bot
tom and learn to make an honest liv-
ing. AS my organization employs
hundreds of girls like her, 1 happen
to know what I'm talking about"
"Not Society girls" said Ann
recklessly.
ne lIILcIIupISU HGT.
"Quiet, little spitfire, and I'll tell
you a success story. About girl as
'pretty-and prettier-than the one
we're arguing over. AS a matter of
fact, I dislike New York socalled So
ciety, thinking it one huge waste of
time. But this girl has that back
ground-blue-blooded ancestry and
Continental education and travel and
coming-out and all that, but it didn't
faze her. Quite to the contrary.
"She came to me to get job. I
was dubious about her sticking pow
ers, but 1 let her begin. She's been
with us several weeks now, and is
doing excellent work as a compari-
son-shopper. And believe me, Society
or no Society's, that girls on her way
up, and nothing's going to stop her.
I'm proud of her." said Paul Bradley,
smiling reminiscently.
Like Cinderella when the clock
struck twelve, Ann went home.
Midnight was the unmaslzing hour.
Her time with Paul Bradley, despite
had been so wonderful, so
strangely glamorous, that she couldn't
bear the risk of the unmasking. Apart
from her earlier reflections of the e.
vening, he would consider she had de-
made a fool of him in con-
tinuing to hide her identity, after
knowing his.
"a masked party" thought Ann
happily, "gives one amazing chances
for prolonged tete-a-tete!
To have been able to attract him
and hold him by the excellence of
her skating and the sprightliness of
her conversation, was a triumph and
an added hope.
A hope that in the days to come
they would really get to know each
other better. That his rule for put
ting a distance between himself and
the lesser store employees might be
somhow overridden.
"Why! she had felt actual jealousy
Of Bernice for having met him, how
ever casually at lie Cochan Qui Rit"
He had noticed Bernice's blonde
beauty. Even his remarks about
spanking had proved his interest in

provided you're not settled for lif'

Her heart beat fast, awaiting hi
reply. Suppose he were married--o1
as good as married?
"No. I'm all alone"
Lonesome Ho! That old gag!'
Don't you know-"-he caught hel
wrist-"that cats hate having COLI

"And love to wander out at nights
in search of adventure!" she supple.
mented, laughing.
"They hate to be rubbed the wrong
way, you bad girl"
"But l adore CATS
"I'm glad. D'you hear me purr-

"There goes your feline vanity

"I'm vain because I've found the
most piquant little partner in the Car
nival. Let's drink to her." he sug-
gested, filling AIMS glass and his
own, and fitting his up.
They drank their champagne.
The band broke into lifting mel
ody. Behind the sympathetic screen
of frs, Paul Bradley moved closer
to Ann
"D'you know, it was a toss-up
whether I'd come here or not tonight? ?
But Pm grateful 1 yielded"
"Who asked you?" The question
had been simmering in her mind for
the past hour. Who was responsible
for his appearance at the Carnival?
Naturally beautiful girl"
Her heart sank. He continued: "I
dropped into an absurd version of the
ex-speakeasy with a name which
should appeal to your anthropological
mind. Not dog nor cat, this time,
but a pig! lie Cochon Qui Rit.' A
blonde girl sold me ticket for this
charity and here I am"
"Bernice!" thought Ann quickly.
"What's she look like ?" she asked,
trying to sound nonchalant.
Like Circe with the swine around
her. They were climbing up the walls
and their faces were half-human."
Nonsense. You were seeing things.
You must really go on the water wa
gon. Give me that glass of cham
pagne." Ann said with mock severity.
"Oh, I'm abstemious enough, as a
general run. AS a matter of fact, if
Circe had been my daughter I'd have
spanked her good and plenty"
"Why?"
"For being tight at five in the af-
ternoon in public place and minus
an escort
"Maybe," ventured Ann, perturb-
ed, ''she was only pretending to be a
good fellow? Maybe that was her
iob?"
"To go from table to table, pick
ing up stray men and drinking with
them? You defend that?"
"Isn't that precisely what I'm do
ng now?" She rose, on the defen-
;ive.

give large sums to charity, hoping to
