into the hall. They were thin and sallow and furtive eyed. Ann hastily ran back to the third floor.
 Paul came. He spoke pleasantly to Clara and the twins. He and Ann departed in the midst of excited chatter. Ann wondered what there was about the advent of man to change an ordinary conversation in- to feverish display of so-called wit and charm.
 They walked four blocks to Gar field park and wandered through the dusky paths. The night was soft, with something of painful sweetness in the air. They sat down on a bench near the lagoon.
 Would you like to go for a boat rider" Paul asked. Ann's practical mind immedi- ately jumped to the matter of 25 cents, the price of an hour in a rowboat. Paul made little more than she did. He had the same expenses. "It's just as nice here" she said.
 They talked easily of impersonal things, relaxing in the pleasant quiet. Paul did not mention Steve Claybourne. After a while he told Ann little of his college days.
 T paid my way at the fraternity house by pressing suits and wait ing on table," he said. Living with a gang like that for four years makes this sort of life seem pretty lonely"
 "Yes, I know what it is to be lonely" :.
 He hesitated for a moment as if turning something in his mind. Then, "The fraternity men in town have an organization, the Athens Club. The spring hop is coming of next week. I'd like to take you if you'd care to go."
 Ann's eyes shone. A dance - 8 nice dance - with Paul. "Oh, I'd love to go, Paul." Then, dubious ly. But won't it be expensive - i terribly expensive?"
 T suppose SO, but gosh, Ann we've got to have little fun as we go along. I've got a small re- serve and I'm going to spend 1t on one nice evening for you and me-"
 She glowed. q feel like Cin- derella-"
 I'm not much of Prince Charming" -'.-
 You'll do for me-"
 He caught her enthusiasm. "A yellow cab will be more or less like the famed pumpkin"
 "Oh, Paul"
 They laughed together youth- fully. The night was filled with stardust, it throbbed with life and love. (To Be Continued)

CHAPTER XVII

Ann started dinner. She set the table as daintily as the shappy ape pointments allowed, placing the vio- lets in the center and silver spoon at each place. Creamed salmon, Clara insisted upon calling it gold fish, mashed potatoes fried to @ brown crustiness, pickles, hot bis- cults and jam. The little meal was ready when Clara came in.
 "E1y'a, keed," she said.
 "Hello, yourself"
 Gee, aren't we ritzy these days?"
 T wouldn't say so"
 Clara picked up one of the spoons. "Why do you set such store by these, Ann?"
 Because they're real I guess"
 "YOu can get a whole set at the dime store for what one of these costs"
 "Yes, know"
 What's the difference?"
 Considerable difference in quail ity. Nice things do something for me, Clara. I can't describe 1t. Sometimes I dream of linen sheets and satin-edged blankets and per- fume in the bath water and silk things next to me"
 "You're the craziest kid. Better get those things out of your head. Folks like us are better of not to think of satin-edged blankets"
 Maybe. Dinners ready. l want to hurry because Paul Hay den and I are smelling spring in the park tonight"
 Clara pouted. You have all the iuck," she said. T can't get any, body but a truck driver and he has to rapport his old lady"
 While Clara washed the dishes and Ann changed her dress, there was chatter in the apartment. Ned- dy and Teddy danced echoed. They had both won cups for terpsicho- rean prowess at the Roseland dance hsil and they displayed them proudly.
 Myrtle drifted in. She sat or the edge of a chair, her rougt hands folded in her lap, her big eyes deep in purple shadows. She admired the cups.
 Me and Bill used to dance," she said wistfully.
 Have you seen him lately? Clara asked.
 Its been two months. Ma couldn't give me the money last month. Bill was awful diSap-

 Ann came to the bedroom door, her eyes sweet with sympathy. twill he be coming home soon, Myrtle?" she asked.
 Eighteen months and 12 days He's learning the welding business. Maybe we can have a little place of our own" She swallowed painfully, trying to smile.
 Neddy spoke up. T wouldn't wait if I was you," she said, toss. ing her head. You're only young once. You'd be pretty if you fixed yourself up."
 "As pretty as us," Teddy added.
 Maybe I could get job for you on the elevators" Neddy sug- gested.
 Myrtle looked down at her red hands. "Ill stay on here with his ma," she said. "I'll wait"
 You're fool" Neddy told her.
 "Just fool" said Teddy.
 Ann spoke sharply from the bedroom. Leave Myrtle alone. She knows what sine wants to do." She came into the living room, carrying a dark silk dress. would you like to have this, Myrtle?" she asked. We're about the same size and it doesn't fit me very well. think it would look better on you"
 Myrtle took the dress hungrily. "Oh, it's pretty. I haven't had a new dress since Bill and me was married. I'll wear it when I go to see him." Stammering her thanks, she ran from the room, holding the dress close to her thin little breast.
 "Whatll you wear?" Clara wanted to know. That's your best work dress and you just paid to have it cleaned" l Ann said lightly, Long as the remnant tables hold out I'm all right"
 T didn't mean to make her feel bad, but gosh" Neddy said apol- ogetically.
 And Teddy, Gosh"
 Suddenly strange girl appeared in the doorway. Clara greeted her noisily, saying, Ann, this is Betty. She was my roommate. She got married and lives downstairs. How goes it, Betty?"
 Tt goes something wonderful" she said, her eyes shining.
 Clara and the twins were plainly enviouS of the /. narrow band on Betty's finger. Ann gazed at the bride speculatively. Why was 8 wedding ring so desirable? Was it because these girls lived by a pattern and one phase of the pat tern was marriage? Or was it a law of nature that each girl must find a mate? Or was it love? She didn't know. She had 8 feeling that the girls didn't know.
 Well" Betty said smugly. Y must get back to my husband" :" She preened herself little. She said to Ann, wont you come and meet Jim?"
 Ann walked down the stairs with her. Jim wore overalls, he had not shaved recently. He ac- knowledged the introduction awk- wardly. AS Ann turned away, he caught Betty in his arms. There was closeness about them, a sense of belonging, that brought a quick ache to Ann's heart. Maybe there was something in love and marriage. Two people, instead ot one. against a pitiless world.
 She glanced down the stairs at the hall door, watching for Paul. At that moment voices came to her from a nearby room, the loud, rough voices of men.
 My split was twenty-five = gimme twenty-five or I'll-"
 "What'll you do?" a second voice Sneered.
 Shut up you fool"
 The door opened and the two men who had spoken to Ann when she first arrived at the house, came
