Good morning c. F." she said, then turned to Sally. For an in- stant her eyes, flashing resentment, rested on the girl.
 "I'll call you If we need you, Sally" Marian said her soft voice belying her feelings.
 But, MT. Fellows" Sally be- gan.
 I'll call you Sally"
 MT. Fellows glanced up, his eyes warning, not as they had once warmed, but pleasantly. He was small, intense man. 5o-odd, with an energy and vitality which never Jagged While not senti- mentally interested in the girls who worked for him, he had an immense sympathy for them, espe- cially the young eager ones.
 Marian did not doubt his fond- ness for her. He had shown it in thousand ways through the years. They had battled the de- precision side by side and emerged victorious.
 Marian sat down, uncomfortahly aware of Sally. Judging from MT. Fellows expression, he was also aware of Sally, pleasurably. AS she left the office he beamed.
 There's a comer." he said.
 "Yes, she is," Marian admitted. There were underhanded methods by which she could easily rid her. self of Sally. devices to which she would not stoop. Marian was fair. perhaps her own struggle had given her an unconscious sympa- thy for the girl.
 "She made good suggestion this morning." MT. Fellows went on. "She asked if she might understudy you - to be prepared when you go on vacation, or ii, case you are ill.,"

as stenographer There had been something about the girl an avid- ity, subtle determination, that Marian had recognized at once. She had told Sally that there was no opening, that she might leave her name.
 Later that day, when Marian returned from lunch. Sally had sat at one of the typewriters. Re- sourceful not to be put of easily, she had waited for Marian's lunch hour. seen Grant Fellows per- sonally and been given the job.
 It had been blow to Marian. Grant Fellows had never before questioned her authority and she resented 1t hotly. Relentessly, she had kept the girl in the back ground. But, in spite Of her vigi- lance, Sally was making headway, She was delightful to look at, sweet -natured, by far the most efficient of the several stenogra- phers, Day by day Marian watched for cause to dismiss the troublesome Sally. The girl gave her no cause And, just recently, her competency and personality had been noted ir the privatet office.
 The fact that Sally was exer. cising the same skill and enter. prise which had brought Marian to the front, that her tactics were identical, added to Marians un- easiness. She knew what Sally wanted. Sally wanted the place as Grant Fellows private secretary And, what was more to the point she was steadily gaining ground.
 Marian went into the private office, graceful, smart, assured Sally Blake sat beside Marian $ mahogany desk, appealingly young, deceivingly demure. Marian made herself smile brightly.

VERY FEW ARTISTS LOOK LIKE ARTISr
P Painter Regrets
Public's Ideas

By RowIand Lyon.

One of the most cherished illu-
sions of the public at large is that
an artist must look the part. A
rough description of the approved
type is (a) starved. pale individual
with wild look around the eyes,
(b) long, dank hair (the color does

corduroy jacket and pointed. high
heeled shoes. He should be dreamy
or moody, or both, and speak with
foreign accent if possible. Above
all, he must live in cold garret.
The painful truth, however, forces
me to state that few artists con-
form to the approved specifications.
They look like government clerks,
bankers, prize fighters, night watch
men, gigolos, truck drivers and Con-
gressmen-but seldom like artists.
The name of painter also enters
