Chopter Ill

The telephone rang in Lynda Martins library.
 'Dorrit," she called, fiinging down the morning paper, society side up, will you answer that?"
 It was noon. Lynda, not dressed for the day, had on a trothy pink chiffon negligee. RoSe-tinted toe nails showed provocatively through the gilt lacing of pink satin mules. She yawned.
 Are you at home, Ma'am?" An English maid looked out from the bedroom.
 'That depends on who it is."
 Dorrit picked up the receiver. Miss Martins apartment. Might hl ask the name? MT. Daniel Don- ovanm
 Lynda nodded.
 "Yes, sir. Tiff you'll be so good as to wait, hT'll call her."
 She detached 8 removable tele- phone from the far end of the room and plugged 1t in at the baseboard nearest Lyndas chair.
 Hello, Dan," Lynda's voice was eager. T hoped you'd call. Var nets making me the most wonder full dress for the party. Want a preview? Meet you at the Colony for lunch? I'd love to, then we can go to varnet's afterwards"
 She hung up the receiver and raced toward her bedroom, call- ing Dorrit as she went.
 The bedroom, like the library, was a fitting frame for her fragile beau ty. Her father had handed the IT, year-old girl a blank check when he bought the triplex apartment on 5th Avenue and said, Go ahead, baby, decorating is a woman's job"
 Lynda had immediately turned the 30 rooms over to Delavigne, New York's most fashionable dec- orator. Newspapers put the cost of old man Martins home at $2,e0O 900. Actually 1t set him back $l,500,00O. Lynda's private apartment was a copy of Marie Antoinette's chambers at Versailles The graceful decorations with their poetic touches of pink and blue, en- hanced her golden loveliness, but they could not change the petulent lines of her pretty mouth, for Lyn- da was a spoiled child.
 Mrs. Martin died when she was six. Her training had been left in the hands of fashionable private sci.ool head 11aistresses and gov ernesses. It was James, Martin s theory that money would solve all problems. Everytime his daughter failed in her studies, he put her in a more expensive school. She left the last one just after her 18th birthday. ..>.,.

BUREAU OFFICERS
 MUST SIGN BILLS.
Signatures Will Mean De- partment Heads Ap=
 prove Payment

Members of the Board of Works decided informally last night to have all bills submitted to them first be signed by the heads of the departments or bureaus by which they were contracted. The sigma lures will be taken to mean that the department heads approve payment of the bills.
 The decision was made after members noted that Herbert Scott- Smith, superintendent of the street, sewer and water department had placed his signature on all bills sub- mitted for approval. Signatures will now be required from the City Hall superintendent, superintendent of garbage collection and the city en- gineer.
 The works board was devoted to the approval of bills.
 Signing of bills was also the only business before the board of public welfare, at meeting last night. Approval of the bills, all of which are from 1899, is required in order that the city's books for last year can be cleared before the January 31 deadline fixed in the charter.

 Just now, life revolved for her around Dan Donovan, the best catch, as far as money and looks went, in New York's younger crowd. He also had brains, but no one, but even himself, had dis covered that yet. His trouble, like Lynda's, was too much money.
 On the other hand, money had given him certain advantages, four years at Harvard, English clothes, graceful manners, and friends with expensive tastes. His father. Mike Donovan, liked to boast
