SHULER At the words, Miss Vandersill turn­ ed back and intuitively caught the full significance of the scene. “What are you doing, Dean?” she demanded, bearing down upon him swiftly and snatching the card from his hand. As she read it, her face darkened with anger. “So—you find it necessary to apol­ ogize for me—and to a cheap profes­ sional model. I can make my own apologies—if they are needed." that I never want to see him again as long as I live.” What the Card Said Discliarged Her fury mounted. She crumpled the card and, with a gesture of pas­ sionate anger, threw it to the floor. “You may cancel all my order, Monsieur,” she said haughtily. “Please,” Miss Vandersill.” Chambeaux was pleading. 1“ dismiss this girl. She had been less- are through. You must go.” At his words, 'Gilthrop sprang to life. “This grossly unfair,” he protest­ ed, “The girl has done nothing.” Attracted by the raised voices — unusual in Chambeauxs’ shop—Elo­ ise Mowbray came to the head of the stairs to listen, and hovered there unostentatiously as the storm; raged. “Unless this girl is discharged I ■will never buy another thing in this shop,” Miss Vandersill was insisting, tapping her foot. “Does she go oi’ stay?” Her anger thoroughly arous­ ed, she was obstinately determined to wait for her full revenge—to wit­ ness the complete humiliation of the girl before her. “She goes — now.” M. Chambeaux advanced upon the shrinking An­ drea, who stood rooted. She couldn’t believe her ears. This was too cruel —too unjust. In an instant, through no' fault of her- own, her job gone. Once again she must the streets in search of work. “Go to the cashier and get M. will tact- indiscreet. Miss Mowbray, you was walk your money, Miss Mowbray,” Chambeaux commanded. “You’re through. What are you waiting for?” Unable to restrain herself any longer, Eloise Mowbray started down the stairs. Andrey started wearily toward the staircase to change and pack her belongings. Left alone, for every one studiously avoided her, Eloise lighted a cigarette and thoughtfully blew smoke through hei’ sensitive nostrils. As her gaze traveled the length of the salon, her eyes fell up­ on a white crumpled object ton the floor. Could this be the card An­ drea had mentioned? She picked it up. “Dean (Gilthrop,” she read reflec­ tively—speculatively. The name con­ jured in hei’ mind racing horses, yachts and all the gay doings of the world she followed attentively in the newspapers. Through the sea­ sons the name of the lean, heavily tanned sportsman had been linked with a succession of lovely debu­ tantes, axxd the capture of the deb­ onair Gilthrop was a decided feather in Libby Vandersill’s cap. Now, through this quirk of destiny, she held in her hand a m'essage he had written to hex* youngei’ sister. Smoothing the card, Eloise read the few scribbled words with mounting interest. “My profound apologies for what Miss Vandersill has said,” Gilthrop had written. “I should be glad to offer them in person if you will call this telephone number.” Andrea’s voice sounded at the top of the stairs and as the younger* girl joined her, Eloise held out the card. “Gilthrop says on this card that he wants you bo telephone -him,” she remarked. “Never!” Andrea flamed . As she followed her sister to the street, Eloise carefully secreted the card in her bag. “She’s had her chance,” the older sister declared. “If Andrea call Dean Gilthrop—I will.” every night for a week when it was­ n’t beans! I suppose we’ll have them for the rest of our lives-—” whirled on the hapless Mary— less the fact that Andrea’s lost job puts us on bread and water The sight of the Sandersons’ palled faces served to goad Eloise, and she elaborated the bad news— the row'in the shop—the disagree­ ment between Libby Vandersill and her fiance about the black lace bath­ ing suit—her sister’s brusque charge with no extra pay. “Hell to be poor” CHAPTER H Sister to Rescue ‘‘Stop! Stop this instant!” she ordered, her voice cool, vibrant. Astonished eyes turned upward to ward the speaker—a vital dark girl with flashing eyes—descending the stairs. With attention focused on her she stood sharply silhouetted—re­ vealed as a definite personality — an animated flame. “Eloise!” Andrea sobbed wildly, throwng herself into the arms of the older girl. “I’ve lost m'y job and they’ve called me terrible names, they said I’m cheap and common, and I’m not. “This is a I’m leaving,” icily. Eloise none of the terrified shrinking that had made her younger sister their victim. In cutting tones she asked: “What do you do to earn your living Miss Vandersill? My sister stands on hei’ feet in this shop from 110 to 6. She helps support four people. You are right—this is a disgusting ex­ hibition. It shows a useless woman who- never earned a cent in her life can persecute another who has work ed since she was 15. You parasites!’ Eloise spit the word out venomously and then bent tenderly over the shaking form of hex’ sister. “This is too much.” Miss Vander­ sill started toward the door folio-w­ ed by the fluttering M. Chambeaux who cut the air with gestures. Gilthrop did not immediately fol­ low his fiancee. Across the bright bowed head of Andrea he looked at her defiant sister and their glances were like matched swords. He hes­ itated, started to speak, thought bettei’ of it and joined in Libby Van- dersill’s retreat. The two- sister were left alone. An­ drea lifted her head. “It was all his fault,” she sobbed. ‘‘If he hadn’t given me the card, this never would have happened. I would not have lost my job.” Exhausted and trembling, Andrea sank on a. divan and from her inco­ herent words Eloise was able learn what had taken place. “So he wrote you a note on card,” the older girl said thought­ fully. "Did he say he wanted to see you?” “I don’t know,” Andrea said tear­ fully. “I didn’t read it. I only know Tell them' I’m not.” disgusting exhibition. .Libby Vandersill said faced the group with to a won’t job, FOPO-..HOTELS JMTESh.5O Sncuno Montreal-1 orontoR O C H E S T E B - ft U F F A L 6 M? -AWDERH ii! hl! /fireproof ► HOTELS LOCATED ► EASY bmbbsfaqiities she ‘un­ li er ap' dis- Stunned by the loss of her Andrea Mawbray turned a last woe­ begone look toward the luxurious establishment where for many months she had paraded beautiful clothes for wealthy women. Resent­ ment burned in her mind against the pampered debutnate whose whim had thrust her back into the ranks of the jobless. Terror filled her as she remembered the heavy responsi­ bilities of her home. There was so little money there! Trudging beside her sister Eloise, who stared into the storm with hard unseeing eyes, Andrea blinked back snow flakes merci- “As usual, the poor working girl got the worst of it,” Eloise went on. “The stuffed tailor’s dummy that runs the shop put Andrea out in the snow—pfft! like that. It’s hell to be poor.” “Pool’ Andrea,” said Sandy, his gentle, sensitive face full of sym­ pathy. “She works so hard for all of ,us.” “Whatever will we do without her money?” lamented Mary, her anx­ ious eyes resting on the crib where the sick child lay. Andrea returned stamping snow from her shoes. “Here’s the medicine,” she said in a tired voice. “The storm’s worse.” “Oh, Andrea ■— your job ------” Mary’s voice quivered helplessly. Andrea looked toward Eloise. “She’s told you, then-” Mary nodded the look of apprehension returning to her eyes. “I wasn’t going to let you know,” Andrea said, trying to sound uncon­ cerned. “Don’t worry. There are lots of jobs. I’ll get another one right away.” Later in the small bedroom she shared with Eloise, Andrea found hex* older sister dressing to go out. “You shouldn’t have told them I’m out of work,she said reproach­ fully. “Things are bad enough.’ Eloise made no answer. She stud­ ied herself in the blurred mirror of the cheap wooden bureau. “Don’t muss my dress,” she said sharply, picking up the smart wool­ en frock from the bed. Andrea flung herself on the hard mattress.

Mary, the marrtod sister uith whom they liv­ ed, waged a continuous losing fight to make both ends meet. Her still pretty face was drawn with anxiety as she greeted her sisters. “I’m so glad you’ve come," she eaid with relief. “The baby’s got croup again and one of you’ll have to go to the drugstore for this medi­ cine,” "Not me,” announced Eloise with savage brevity.
