where she worked.
 Grace was head stenographer and no longer young, but she was distinguished looking, with pre- maturely gray hair and fine dark eyes. She wore her clothes with an air and was decidedly attrac- tive. Enid had often wondered why she had never married Norma shared an apartment with Grace and the two were always seen together.
 Enid saw the eyes of the two women going over Tom from head to foot as she made the introduc- tions and she knew that tomorrow the office force would get an exact description of Enid Sharon's fel- low. Her face began to burn. She knew that the stripe in Toms shirt was too decided, and that he shouldn't have worn a green tie with blue suit She was un. happily conscious, too, of his hands on the white table cover, broad, strong, and unmanicured.
 Then she lifted her head. She had no call to be ashamed of Tom. At least she had an escort and didn't have to pay her own way. Let Grace and Norma talk.
 Toms bright blue eyes were un- accustomedly sober as he stopped the roadster before her house an hour later. His arm dropped heavily across her shoulders and drew her up against him. She could feel the warmth of his healthy young body.
 Remember what I asked you the other night, Enid? Whats it going to be-yes?"
 His bent head and his lips found hers, warm lips, eager lips Their touch was like a potent he kissed her like that she thought 1t would be very easy to fall in love with him.
 "Yes - Tom" Her voice seemed to come from far away. "1'l marry you"
 He kissed her so hard and SC long, she couldn't say anything more. Then his voice urgent. Lets get married right away Tomorrow!"
 Marry Tom - tomorrow? The finality of it frightened her. Sht drew back into her shell of re- serve.
 oh, not so soon Tom, Let! say three or four months"
 "Why?"
 She cast wildly about for some saving excuse. And something sht had overheard that day at thu office came to her mind.

them over to their own devices.
 Enid worked steadily for while at the figure of very svelt young woman in a yellow sports costume.
 Tears welled into her eyes. She must have been born under an unlucky star, she thought, drear- fly dabbing more yellow paint on the figure before her.
 For there was another disap- pointment connected with this art class. She had expected to meet artists here, intellectual men and women interested in the finer things of life. Instead the women were either very young and silly, or old and queer. And the boys who attended were wishy- -washy creatures laffecting long hair and exaggerated mannerisms, and without one iota of talent.
 Ans as her thoughts wandered hopelessly back to these disap- pointments a smoldering fury rose in her heart. Rebelliously she took her paint brush and began to do vengeful things to the in- sipid pretty face of the girl in her sketch, turned-up end to the nose, a smear of shadow making the cheekbones stand out, an elongating of the eyes.
 It gave her a sort of bitter satisfaction to see the face grow ugly under her hands. There she was through now. She was never coming back to this art class. Let this caricature stand as her monument.
 And then she kept staring at the face in a sudden and curious understanding. Yes, the face was ugly now, but it stood out. It had character.
 l So that was it! You had to be very beautiful or very ugly, very | good or very bad, to stand out in this world. Just ordinary people, like she was, were never noticed. That's why they never got any l place.
 But knowing it didn't help. She couldn't change what she was. She couldn't change her life.
 Tom was waiting for her on the other side of the street when she came out of the building. He footed his horn peremptorily, and she crossed the street and opened the door of the Ford convertible and climbed in beside him.
 Its 8 nice night. Let's go some place and get a beer and dance while," he suggested.
 "All right, Tom"
 They stopped at popular night club up along the river. The place was crowded. The waiter told them that he had no singie table, and led them to one where two women were already sitting As they approached, Enid recog- n.zed Grace Dingline and Norma senton, two girls from the ofac'

MARRIAGE POSTPONED
 CHAPTER II

Enid Sharon walked thoughtfully across the darkening campus to- ward Mees Hall where the art class es of the WPA Evening School were held Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays.
 She had been attending the class es ever since they opened three years before. At first she had gone to them thrilled with enthusiasm Ever since she could remember, she had wanted to be fashion artist, and had spent hours copying the sophisticated figures she saw in fashion magazines and the newspa- per ads of the department stores.
 When the free evening school opened she thought her great chance had come She had worked hard in class and tne various pro- fessors had praised her work. Gaining conf6ence from their praise, she mace the rounds of the advertising departments of the local newspapers and stores show ing her sketches, and asking for work.
 The first question was always, what school had she attended, what training had she had? When she admitted that she was self taught with the exception of the lessons at the WPA night school, the interest of the men interview ing her promptly died. It seemed that one had to have a college degree to aspire to certain kinds of work.
 In fairness to them, though, Enid soon learned for herself why no one took the WPA art school training seriously. It classes never advanced. There was a con- stant turnover of students. old ones dropping out and new ones coming in, and the professors set tied down into an easy rut, going over and over the same things.
 Enid had often thought of drop ping out to-, but sort of des- peration deep in her heart made her keep on. These art classes were the last link with the dreams she had once had dreams she had foliShly thought would come true if she tried hard enough and Apng enough.

 "Yes," Enid murmured faintly. She had no idea why she had lied to him. It had been Grace Dingline who had been picked to go with John Stanton, not she. What possible difference could a month or six weeks make if she was going to marry Tom?
