manded.

"All right, little Mrs. Ambitious.

Tuesday !. afternoon Eleanor's
throat began to hurt her at the
hairdressers, Her eyes burned and
her head 'ached. She went stIaight
home instead Of stopping at the Of
tice. She hAthed and took an as

Phil came In and said, ''Pn get

She said:&" An right !s Hers Soice
sounded peculiar and far aWaS.
When she opened her eyes again,
Phil was standing in front Of the
mirror, admiring himself uncon-
scious Of her gaze. The black coat
sat perfectly on his shoulders, and
MS wing collar added distinction
to the set Of his jaw. :,
"You beautiful creature" aha
exclaimed.
Gosh, didn't know YOU were
awake. How about being up and

Eleanors hands were hot and
dry. The room swan about her. "I

of small economies to keep him.
self straight in the gay, spend
thrift program that had become
theirs since Eleanor had become
Kate Douglas assistant.
They went to parties outside the
Village now. They had little din
ners at uptown restaurants. Some
times Eleanor telephoned Phil at
the Office and said she was work
ing uptown and why didn't he join
her there; she wasn't in a mood for
cooking dinner after working all
day.
They met young actors and sing
ers and unknown writer's at the up
town apartments of their friends.
Some Of the men had asked
FEleanor for dates which she re-
fused. She refused them because
she didn't think she'd be as amused
with them as she was with Phil.
The food and the liquor at those
uptown parties weren't any better
than she served. But the apart
ments were larger and smarter.
And the people they moved with
wore better clothes. Eleanor, who
had unerring taste, had accumu-
lated a small, smart wardrobe,
picking up little things at sales in
the better shops. She'd bought her
self a severely simple black eve
ming dress and hung it in the
closet.
Phil, under pressure, had bought
himself a dark blue suit. It soon
looked like his other two suits. a
little shabby and distinguished. He
had the kind Of figure, tall and
lean. that wore them well.
Eleanor had not been able to con-
vince him that he should buy a din
ner suit. She had said. "Ail right,
darling" to his protests. And did
not add that she had refused invi-
tations for them because she would
not dress when he could not.
That night going south on
Broadway in the taxi, she said.

He said, Forget it, toots. Wen

tapped the folds of her polo coat
against her slim and rather elegant
figure. The wind was cold and she
buttoned the top button of her coat
over the trim blue suit that she af-
fected as a uniform for her work.
A bell rang inside the Globe
building. Eleanor, waiting outside
because it looked less as if she
were waiting for her husband,
heard the five-thirty bell with i'm
patience. She had been waiting
half an hour for Phil.
Two or three minutes later the
elevators disgorged printers and
stenographers and a few strays
from the editorial room. The staff
usually left within an hour after
the last edition came out at four
o'clock.
Hi, Franky!" Eleanor called to
one of the Office boys in Phil's de-
partment. do you know If Mr..
Parrish has left?
Nom. l seen him in Abrams
Office when I went by it five min
utes ago."
Thanks" Eleanor said absently.
Abrams was the managing editor,
generally inaccessible to the re-
porters. Orders from him were
routed through the city editor.
Eleanor's memory raced back over
Phils recent assignments. She was
looking for what the editor must
obviously have found. A summons
to the managerial Office could mean
one of two things: either a man
was sent for to take his medicine
after blunder, or to be promoted.
There were no blunders that
Eleanor could remember. On the
other hand, she doubted if he had
distinguished himself enough to
rate a promotion. Phil was thor
ough and he was hard worker,
but he was. to judge by his copy,
saving his genius for his novel.
The door back Of Eleanor swung
open with a mighty swing and
Phil came out, tucking her arm in
his.
"Good evening, Mrs. Greeley" he
said. "And how are all the little
Greeley this evening" ="
'"This ones awfully cold" she
said. "Call that cab, Phil" ,aa;
a Lets take the subway. Wssu DO

II hate subways," she said.
II never meant that you should
like them," he said, low.
s"Now, please, Phil. don't give me

spend my money. You said you
wanted me to have fun with it. And

fun. -. Taxi!"

II make almost as much as you,
darling, and don't you pay all the
bills? Phil, what did Mr.. Abrams
want to see you for?"
"Oh!" her husbands face bright
ened boyishly. Remember the
oculist in Newark who was a blind
for that machine gun gang"
Eleanor nodded.

cracker-jack of a story ! did Oh it..

Stocks Drift
Much Lower

New York, April 17.-(AP)-
Stocks drifted lower in sluggish trad
ing today, giving up a fair part of
the sharp upswing of Saturday, when
traders were encouraged by Presi-
dent Roosevelt's peace efforts. Deal
ings, slow at the start, barely kept
the ticker tape in motion near the
fourth hour, but signs of a comeback
were scarce. Losses of one to three
points were numerous.
The European jigsaw puzzle, in
Guiding vitriolic comment in Italy
and Germany on the Presidents
peace proposal, and doubts as to the
next step of the dictator nations,
tended further to confuse specula-
tive sentiment. Domestic business
developments also seemingly lacked
sufficient vitality to spur buying
forces.
