SYNOPSIS: Maris Trevor is dis
couraged because Rod O Rorke
spends all his money developing an
invention which he hopes u’ill pro
vide an income so that they can
marry. Maris thinks they should en-
'j>y the present rather than deny
themselves for the future. She be
comes uncertain of her love for Rod.
Perhaps there would be more happi
ness with someone else.....................* * *
“Say,” cried the girl, “since when
have you been handing the young
boss billets-doux? Seems to me that
ain’t the first time you two met, and
I thought 1 had my eyes peeled for
your romance around here. You've
sure put one .over me.”
"Oh, go on, Milly. There’s nothing
to that,”
“Huh, that’s what they all say. But
remember, young lady, Stan’s got a
girl, though I must say you’d make
a good„ understudy for Rowene—the
same silky, golden hair, the same
dark eyes.”
“But that's where it ends. Look
at Rowene’s jewels' and me with a
five-and-ten bangle on my lily-white
arm—the only jewelry I've got, and
I’m glad enough to have it."
"Well, then, Maris, there’s nothing
for you to do but cut out Rowene. I
• bet that wouldn’t be so hard. They
say she’s just as dumb as she’s beau
tiful, so that’s going some. Say, why
don’t you,” she whispered, her al
mond-shaped eyes bright.
"How about >ou making a bid for
him? I thought that was your spe
cialty?” and Maris looked at the girl
intently.
Milly gave a little smirk. Then in
a very confidential tone, she said, “It
used to be, but I've decided a star
salesman who can make his twenty
grand a year is all I want.”
“You mean you’re engaged
Brower?” Maris’ eyes opened wide
astonishment.
But, apart from a slight inclination
of her head, Milly had no chance to
say anything further, because Miss
Riggs suddenly appeared and called
her to her desk.
“Mr. Stanley Fayson wants to see
you at once in his office. He's ter
ribly upset, Maris.”
Suddenly Maris felt herself trem
bling. Why should he have sent for
her? But Miss Riggs was already
hurrying across the corridor to old
Payson's office, and so Maris couldn’t
.find out anything more.
Maris felt numb all over as she
walked towards Stan's office. What
could he want with her? Surely he
wasn’t angry with her because she
bad criticized his announcement. He
asked her to do it. Didn’t he mean
what he said? Yet he had seemed to
be perfectly pleased with her sugges
tion. Why hadn’t Miss Riggs given
her a hint of what, he wanted?
Quickly she thought of the letters ,
she bad written lately, but not one ; low voice, while her smile, which re-
had been his. Then she remembered : vealed a dimple in her left cheek,
that one of his father's—or one of the ■ was not lost on Stan. He was al-
saleHTien’s, it must have been—with ’ ready wondering why he bad failed
the quotations. But Miss Riggs had . to notice this girl during all the weeks
it all. It made a

But when she entered
Stan looked up eagerly and said, “Oh,
I’m so glad you’ve come. Miss Riggs
suggested you might help me. I cer
tainly hope you can. Do sit down.
Once more he indicated the chair be
side his desk.
The numbness left her body and
a glow of life seemed to sweep
through her again. Whatever it was,
Stan was not angry with her. But as
she looked at him, she realized his
face was haggard, and the dark marks
below his eyes told of a sleepless
night. What had happened? It must
have been something awful, to leave
him looking like that, Why, his cloth
es looked as though he’d never tak
en them off all night!
Clearing his throat, he
wonder if you would wear
gown at the exposition?”
"Me!” exclaimed Maris,
cars deceived her? #
“Yes, Maris,” he said quietly. His
eyes seemed to tell her that she would
confer a tremendous favor on him if
she would do this.
“But I thought Miss—” Maris sud
denly stopped, realizing she was
blundering.
“Yes, my fiancee was to wear it,
but—well our engagement’s broken
and—” He hesitated slightly as his
brown eyes sought her sympathy.
“You can understand that’s impos
sible now.”
“Of course,” she answered hurried
ly. “But 1 don’t see why you chose
me.”
Ignoring her remark, Stan said,
“The gown is in that box. I’d like
you to try it on. Maybe you’d just
step into my -inner office and put it
on now. I’ll send for one of the fore
women from the factory. She Can
help you.”
“But you’re sure you want me to
do this? I've never done any model
ing.”
'"That’s just why I want you. That’s
why I decided to have Miss Quirk
and some of her friends put this show
on, because we want to prove that
our new crepe and other fabrics are
the choice of such girls, and not just
designed for show wear or for pro
fessional use.”
“You certainly will,” he answered,
a sudden
“Don’t worry
be the hit of
of that.”
; “I’ll do my
working- up to stardom. Oh, Patsy,
I'm so excited, and you should have
seen how Stan looked at me. Gosh,
when I came into his office in the
wonderful gown or rather when he
stepped into his private office and
saw me—well, J haven’t got words to
describe what I did to that young
man. He’$ all set up again, and didn’t
he look the heart-broken lad when I
went in at first.”
A troubled look had crept into Pat
sy's hazel eyes. “Oh, Maris, do be
careful. Don’t start and think Stan’s
crazy about you.1' Remember he wants
to make good, and is probably mighty
glad he found a girl so easily to take
Rowene’s place, so don’t get all sen
timental about him, Maris.”
"There, you little kill-joy,
don’t you say, 'Go to it, old girl,’
Miss‘Riggs did? She's a'business
man and I bet she’s fed up on it
would give her eye-teeth if she

I wish Rod vvas at home, I don't
really like you going out with those
folk and none of your own around
you,” . *
"You dear old thing, Anyone
would think you were fifty at least
and with a whole raft of children to
turn your hair gray with their .escap
ades. Can’t I have my little joke?
You’re far too serious, Pat, There’s
someone at the door. I bet it's the
rest of my trousseau coming."
cried as she hurried to open it,
Swiftly the afternoon passed,
though Maris kept protesting
should look after her own affairs
take some enjoyment'in the few hours
that she was having off, she was on
ly too glad to have her help her get
ready for the great occasion.
The gown in all its tissue wrap
pings had arrived. Patsy declared it
was time for Maris to slip into it. As
she drew it over her head, she sud
denly cried, “Ob, Patsy, I’m scared.
What if I don’t make good?”

she had worked just a stone’s throw
from his office.
"1 know you will, and don't let
anything fuss you. Remember, you’ve
saved the situation, and 1'11 never for
get that,” he announced emphatically.
Maris’ heart was beating furiously
as she left his office and met the
frankly inquisitive glances of the girls
as well as the questioning looks of
the miscellaneous salesmen who al
ways seemed to be hanging around
anywhere but in the room set apart
for their special use.
But she glanced neither left nor
right, but hurried toward Miss Riggs’
desk.
"You’re going to do it?” she ask
ed, “I’ni so glad. This is a chance
in a lifetime. Now make the most
of it."
“I feel terribly nervous about ap
pearing before a whole hall full of
people. I just don’t know if 1’11 be
able to when the time comes,”
“Don't say such a thing, Of course
you will. I’ve often thought you were
wasted in an office like this, ham
mering a machine all day long. But
then, of course, with times as they’ve
been lately, I didn’t want to put ideas
into your head. But you’re lucky, all
right, so see that you get something
out of this. How about shoes and
things like that?”
“Mr. Stan said I should see Mrs.
Bryce and then go home till they-call
for me in the evening.”
“I

them, but you play your cards right
and there’s no saying what may come
of this,” she counseled.
“Oh, I’d never think of that,” said
Maris, although Miss Riggs’ sugges
tion was but the. stepping-stone to a
wonderful castle of dreams that in
stantly floated into her mind.
“Don’t say that,” said Miss Riggs.
"Every girl has a right to make the
most of her chances, so just remem
ber what I say. Oh, there’s Mrs.
Bryce; better see her at once,’ ’she
added as tlie head stylist, a striking
looking young woman with unusual
green eyes, appeared.
"All right,” answered Maris, and
she went forward to meet her.
An hour later Maris was hurrying
home a pair of beautiful satin slippers,
long suede gloves, some exquisite lin
gerie and a gorgeous wrap following
her by special deliver^. She could
hardly keep from running as she left
the subway and turned down the
street to her apartment house.
Who would ever have thought that
morning that she would have such a
wonderful piece of fun;' that she
would have a chance to mingle with
society girls as if she were one of
them; to be the center of attraction
at the exposition! Oh, it was too
wonderful! It would completely bowl
Patsy over.
She glanced at her watch. Patsy
would be asleep, for she didn’t gen
erally rise till about four, and it was
not much past* twelve. Well, she’d
just have to wait, for it wouldn’t be
fair to waken her up. Patsy really
worked hard and tqok her work seri
ously.
Quietly she slipped her keys in the
lock, and turned it slowly around.
But suddenly she felt the door jerk
ed open. "Patsy” she cried as she al
most tumbled into her friedn’s arms.
"Why aren’t you asleep?'
"What are you doing home at this
time ofTlay?” countered Pat.
"Oh, something wonderful's hap
pened, but tell me what’s the idea of
your being up when you should be
getting your beauty sleep?”
“I’m getting off tonight. The man
ager said he thought it was time I
had a chance to make up some of
the hours I’d worked overtime, and
of course I’d rather sleep at night for
a change.”
“That’s great, Patsy.”
"But why are you home?”
Throwing her arms about her chum
Maris cried, Tm going to be the
bride at the show tonight. Ain’t I
the lucky girl?” ’
"But I thought young Payson’s girl
Was to 'show off that gown.”
"So she was, Pat, but, oh, I guess
Stan and Rowene have busted up
their engagement. We’d awful excite
ment, Poor old Riggs was all up in
the air. Then she sent me into Stan’s
office. Gosh, I wondered what crime
I’d committed, but when he told me,
well, you could have knocked me ov
er, So I had, to put on the dress. It
fits me like a glove. Don’t you think
Pm in luck ,old girl?”
"Why, Maris, this is wonderful!
Now you’H see how you’d like to be

"Sure I will) but it will be like
