Kit fastened a small white Dlrd
In the nest of curls piled high on
her head. She yanked a strap up
on her shoulder, and a hook an
inch o. so above her waist flew
open Darn it! Put a pin in, will
you Franz" Kits voice was an
noyed.
There was a time when SO sim
pie a thing as a hook couldn't ruiz

Why don't you wear another
dress?" ,
Thanks, Fran, I don't want
any advice, please"
Fran's lips were a straight line
in her face. Kit didn't see it. She
was glancing hurriedly at the clock
on her dressing table. Jerry likes
white" she said. "He's a sweet
kid. Youthful and romantic. He
says the reason he send me white
flowers is because he always thinks
of ne as his lady in white"
Fran snapped her newspaper ex-
pressively. "Are you falling for
that sophomore" she wanted to
know.
Hes not a sophomore" Kit said
amiably. "He's my employer"
From all I've heard he certain

go to the grocery store. Every
penny I spend reminds me of when

Kit sprayed Moment Supreme
over her hair. THAT wasn't bad.
After all, that's where we met.
Anyway, you should have heard
what Jerry said to me on the tele-

something important to tell me to-
night"
ut had better be, or he won't
get out of this place tonight with
out explaining to me And I don't
mean about his honorable inten-

Kit laughed. She put a square %
white chiffon into a white velvet
bag. "Anyody interesting call to-
day? Did Vance call?"
Fran cast a mischievous look at
Kits back. Vance? Did he? Oh,

Glee lighted up Kits eyes "You
did?'' she cried, excitedly. "What
did he say to that?"
"Oh, he just said he hoped you
were having a good time"
The lamps in Kits eyes went
out. She tossed her head. "You can
assure him that I am" she said.
To prove that she was having a
lovely, exciting time, and to con-
vince Fran of it, she greeted Jerry
vivaciously.

Happy days." he said, downing
it 'Now, let's be off. I've found a
place on the island that I think
you'll like, but it's rather a long
drive. Would you care to come
with us, Miss LIE Maze?"
mo, thank you, Mr.. Sembler. I
suspect that three would be the
%proverbial crowd. I know that Kit
wants to talk to you-alone."
Kit pretended not to see the
meaningful glance that Fran gave
her when she said that.
Some other time, perhaps" Kit
murmured. Come along, Jerry"
Dinner at this place is an ex-

Jerry said, leading her up the
