Fran Lee Maze, presiding with
some uncertainty at that table, en-
comprised every detail of his ele-

eye. She relaxed the stiffened little
finger that p%rotruded beyond the
handle of her teacup, curving it in
an effort to achieve the graceful
effect he managed SO easily.

not see her smile. If there was
amusement dancing in her eyes as
they rested briefly on her former

only indications that she had not

also have the dark woods and the

to Kit, what do you think Of this

Kit got up from the piano bench
and inspected a swatch of stiff
satin with Impractical eyes. "That's
your department, Mr.. Squires. If
you say we need pink, I guess we
do. The colors don't matter so much

Kit began to dream, the book in her
hands forgotten. And to ponder per-
plexedly on the matter Of Vance
Healey. To wonder at the strange
ness Of things, that she had been
sky-rocketed into his world-the r.
do world that existed in a single
skyscraper-yet she never saw him.
There had been a telegram from
him: congratulations and very
best wishes. Vance Healey." 1t was
even now a trifle battered, folded
away in the corner of her purse.
Shed answered it with a little
note, saying, Thank you very
much for your telegram. I am
more grateful to you than I can
tell you. I hope you will let me try
some day."
She'd signed it, Sincerely, Kit
Reilly" There had been so much
more she'd wanted to say. She
would like to have asked him to
tea, but she didn't know whether
girls still asked men to tea. And
she'd remembered that Mana Har-
ris had said, when men want. any,
thing they go after it. If they have
to be run after, you generally find
they're the kind who run away"
The afternoon she'd found the
apartment she had thought, II
could ask him to a place like this.
I could give a party and he
wouldn't think I was running after
him If it were a party to which I
invited him."
The apartment occupied a whole
floor, and included four many
Widowed rooms, in a renovated

there she found her home in the
