money.
That was really turning point
in the life of Miss Fixit. This old
rocker that she made over is
merely a sample of what may
happen when a clever young lady
is bent upon bringing color into
her life. The chair has been paint
ed a pale turquoise blue, and the
seat cushion and back are covered
with an inexpensive chintz In tur-
quoise; cherry red; primrose yell

I wish every reader interested
in choosing colors for her home

It contains an illustrated rule for
making a room color plan, based
on the colors in picture; rug;

CHAPTER XIII

The weeks of Summer flew.
Lynn's life was a mad whirl Of
work, admiration, flowers, posing.
Both Wild and Terry were giving
the young woman the rush of her
life.
The day after Lynn had first dined
with Wild, Mr.. Mortimer had tele-
phoned the shop and asked her to
stop of at his office on her lunch
hour. II had been a queer inter
view and if Lynn's head had not
been IN such a whirl, she would
have puzzled more about it at the
time.
During the whole conversation
Lynn wondered what Mr.. Mortimer
wanted. He seemed Ill at ease, try
ing to find out something. It was
not until she rose to leave that he
remarked: II saw you dining with
Mr.. Austin last night at THE Fair
way"
Eyes, met him once in Florida,
in fact, the night I left there"
Lynn's cheeks flushed.
''It might be well not to mention
you'd had business dealings with
Mrs. Warren, or me-" he said with
apparent casualness.
So that was it. Lynn smiled
little. Men were so stupid. Why
didn't he say that in the beginning?
81 won't mention it, Mr.. Morti-
mer," she promised. ''You know I

down at the painting he had done OF
Lynn. It was good, and Austin

Rene, had known.
When Lynn had his supper ready,
he could not eat much. But she
sat across from him, just as she had
IN the old trailer days, and Rene
was happy for a little. Lynn tried
not to watch the clock. She knew

down before it. There in her shah

a CERTAIN Miss Fixit, and

she sent for my little Book No. 4,
and there she found a sketch show

good coloring- Miss Fixit had a

Just for fun, as a sort of game,
she made a room color plot based

feel very grateful to you for getting
me my job"
But Lynn had little time for spec
ulation. Nine. Reanoud was closing
for three weeks in August to get
ready for the September opening
Lynn had promised to come back
for that, although Rene had protest
ed that he needed her and Marty
wanted her to quit her job.
When Wild found out about the
vacation he begged her to come up
to Long Island, but Lynn refused.
Rene needed her. She had to stay
In town.
Wild had deep desire to meet
Rene Boucher. He set about to
work on Marty. When Wild made
up his mind he usually achieved
what he wanted. Marty invited him
to Rene's for tea.
They arrived about S o'clock and
found Lynn wrapped up in masses of
silver fox from Nine. Reanoud' S
shop. She was sweltering.
"An In the cause of art" Rene
remarked.
Lynn was in utter confusion see
ing Wild here in the studio. She
did not know why she minded so
much, but she was afraid Wild
would not appreciate Rene. The
dark, slender painter in his runpled
clothes was dwarfed by Martyrs
huge frame, and Wild's impeccabIe
fannels. But the three men seemed
to get along famously.
'tI've wondered why you didn't
try serious picture of Lynn" Wild
said
Rene frowned as Wild spoke and
Marty interposed: Don't 60 giving
him any high faIutin' ideas, Wild.
He's got gold mine hereI Leave
him alone"
"But he's good painteri" Wild
protested as though Rene were not
present.
We'll, he's doing the best maya
zine covers made in this country

Il said he was a fine painter.

Lynn, watching Rene, saw him
finch. It had never occurred to
Lynn that Rene might hate doing
the magazine stuff. Suddenly she
realized quite clearly, as though he
had spoken.

voice was harsh. 1--WE had enough
of poverty and so has Lynn. That's

There is poverty and poverty, /"
Wild replied.
It was odd that Wild meeting Rene
for ne first time, could know what
she did not know about him, seeing

CHAPTER XIV

Lynn hurried over to the studio
to get Rene's breakfast the next
morning and found him painting
away for dear life.
Lynn had never seen him like this.
A fever burned In his eyes as he
worked.
It must have been after when
Marty came and found Rene still
hard at it.

Now, that's welcome for you'll
I just wanted to see how the pic
ture was coming"
Rene stood resolutely IN front of
the canvas, Marty, looking at Lynn
tired face, felt sorry for the girl.
The studio was sitting. Marty
pushed Rene aside and looked at
the canvas. He gasped in surprise.
There stood slender, shimmering
figure in deepest moonlight Marty
recognized the quality instantly. It
was lovely thing. Wild had been
right.
The guy could paint-reaI pic
lures, not sugar and water stuff.
well, are you satisfied, now
you've stuck your nose in here?"
"Rene!" Lynn reported him for
his rudeness.
Think nothing Of it. I'm used
to being insulted by artists" Marty
walked around the canvas. GOOD. :"
Then he thrust his hands into his
pockets. What now? What about
the lady of the furs?"
'She can go hang!"
Marty threw up his hands. what
ever you say"
Rene threw himself upon a couch
exhausted. The shadows were
Tightening In the big, bare room.
Shortly, Rene was asleep.
Marty, signaling to Lynn, tiptoed
out, and she went with him.
In the next few days, Lynn had
little time for anything except work.
Rene was painting like a mailman
now the spirit moved him. He fin
ished the fur picture, began plan
ming an ice one.
He had finished the portrait of
Lynn and it was carefully hidden
away. He refused to allow any,
body to see it, even Wild, who an
preciated his work so much.
Lynn's vacation was over and she
went back to Nine. Reanoud's again
for the Fall showing as she had
promised.
Just before Labor Day, Rene went
off for a few days vacation I'D to
Martyrs cabin In Connecticut and
Wild insisted that Lynn should keep
her promise and come up to South
Hampton. She hesitated, now that
the time had come.
Does your mother know I'm the
girl you brought home that night I
left Florida?"
''Of course she doesn't. I told her
about it at the time, but that's all.
Are you sure2"
"Certainl Wild smiled at LYNN
and said: There is not one other
excuse you can givel You've got to
come"
So Lynn agreed.
Wild was to bring Lynn down aft
er work on Friday. He was waiting
for her at $3.50. and he'd had his
chauffeur pick up her bags at her
room.
When they arrived, the big house,
set IN magnificent gardens, was de-
serted. The butler told Wild every-
body was at the swimming pool
Lynn was shown to her room, a
lovely bedroom IN rose and cream
which overlooked the Atlantic. A
maid hung UP her clothes, noted the
inexpensive toilet things. She shifted
little TO herself. but when she saw
Lynn In simple white wool bath
ing suit, she quite understood why
Mr.. Wild was interested in the girl.

CHAPTER XII-COntinued

It was after when Lynn finally
left Rene. She had cooked him some
chops, but could not eat herself. She
felt tired and tense. It was very
hot and she dreaded her little apart
ment. As she walked out of the
building, she heard her name called.
Il was Wild.
81 waited. Thought you might
want TO get cooled of"
Lynn accepted reluctantly. Just
for a few minutes" she said.
''T wish you'd let me drive you
out on Long Island. It's wonderful
Out there. It isn't far, and the Sound
IS marvellous"
They rode In silence through the
city traffic, over the bridge to the
island. It was half an hour before
traffic began to thin and Wild could
step on it. The wind, the speed,
the cooler air, were refreshing. Lynn
was content just to ride on into the
dark. When they'd gone on toward
Great Neck, Wild said: III bet you
didn't eat any dinner"
81 had a cup of tea"
Wen stop at a cool place I
know"
Il look pretty messy" Lynn said.
Wild did not even bother to an
sWer. He pulled in at a sheltered
little place on the shore, and shortly
they faced each other across the
table.
There, that's better" He touched
her hand as it lay on the table.
Now I feel you've really forgiven
me-"
There's nothing to forgive, real

suspicious of me-" Lynn replied. ''It
was all pretty crazy. But you were
q little harsh"
He did not answer, but sat look
ing at her lovely, mobile face In the
soft light from the table lamp.
Eyes, you're as lovely as I re-
menbered you"
Lynn's cheeks colored unexpect-
eddy under his eyes.
''I know what you're going to say.
Please don't say it. Let me talk"
He moved restlessly. I've done
nothing but think of you since you
left that night" he went on. st

at him.

Lynn, look at me-" She finally
obeyed him
do you believe me?" Under his
intense gaze she had to answer hon
estly: Eyes"
viii you let me see you now and
then?"
Lynn hesitated. The conversation
was getting well out of hand.
'Yes, if you WISH" she finally
said.
viii you let me prove, too, all I
want TO say to you-and can't?"
She did not answer and he did not
demand one.
When they left, although Lynn did
not notice, they passed close to a
group of people dining which includ-
ed Mortimer. Mortimer saw Lynn
and her companion, and turned
away so she could not recognize
him.
Wild tried to get her to promise
she'd come out to Long Island some
weekend when his mother was hav-
ing guests.
Pm busy all week-ends, for Mon
day I'm of and Rene works all
day"
You can't keep on working this
way"
For a while, until we're sure
how Rene's pictures are going to
stand the test"
'I want to ask you something.
Are you N love with this artist"
''Of course mott" Lynn answered
quickly, almost breathlessly, IN a
kind Of panic.
He bent suddenly and kissed her
On her red lips.
Lynn, I'm going to make you
love me whether you want to OF
not!" Then he let her go.

Stop Worrying.
This happens so often that it
makes one realize that the minute
woman begins to stop fretting,
and worrying, and thinking exclu-
sively about something, is often
the very moment when she is near
est to attaining it. Over and over
again the years, In which woman
talks and worries and hopes for a
child, are wasted years and when
she becomes absorbed in some
thing real and forgets her yearnings,
the contrary baby decides it is time
to start on its way.
It is the same way with the un-
married woman whose whole
thought is fear of spinsterhood and
a desire to secure beau. She ema-
mates some element that repels a
mans interest; she creates about
her an atmosphere that is destruc-
tive to love affair. Such woman
places far too much importance
upon the whole thing. She can't
take love naturally; she is always
thinking of it, constituting the most
innocent friendly advances Of any
man, into serious declarations,
frightening him off with her own too
eager response.
Looks Play Minor Role.
Hundreds of women, whose ages
range from "A to 40, write me every
year about this problem. Sometimes
they send their pictures, to prove
to me that they are good-looking.
As if looks had anything to do
with it,
But they think looks have. And

raised apologies for her hair or her
