Margot pre- tends to have married a mythi- cal Tony Merrick while on a South American cruise, and then become estranged from him just prior to returning to New York. Philip Both, lawyer, wants Margot to divorce the imaginary Tony so he can marry her. Margot meets Jeff Thompson, young artist from Ohio. He knows her only as Margot Sherwood, not as Mrs. Merrick. Jeffis on the point of proposing when he discovers she is "mar- ried." He is furious, believing she has deliberately misrepresented herself as a single girl. But, her vagueness about her marriage and her husband under questioning arouses his suspicions. Jeff checks upon her story and finds that she's never been married and that there is no Tony Merrick. He decides she needs a lesson. He presents himself to her friends and family as the long missing Tony. News photographers record their happy reunion. The only way out for Mar- got is to persuade Jeff to marry her so she can really divorce him. Because an exhibit of his is threat- ened by the scandal attendant to the expose of his hoax, Jeff con- sents. They are married in Niagara Falls and immediately take the plane home. Philip Booth, who ar- ranged the matter, now plans to ,yet Margot her divorce and marry her. CHAPTER SIX Hero's Homecoming When their plane readied New York, Margot and Jeff bade each other a eurt goodbye and made at once for their separate homers to chart packing. Jeff was leaving by afternoon train for Wapakonepa: Margot wanted to lose no time get- ting out to Reno. At the last moment, there was a delay. Phil insisted that Jeff take a later train in order- that papers protecting Margot financially be signed. Margot found this proposi- tion distasteful.. "Oh, Phil," she protested. "Jeff isn't going to try to get any of gny money." "Now look, Margot. He's an ir- responsible pauper and you're a woman of means. I•f we don't have him sign a property settlement who knows what claims he might snake in the future?" Thrusting her objections aside, Phil contacted Jeff, who burned anew at this latest indignity.

I'm tak- ing the sig o'clock train to Chic- ago," He baalgod down the receiv" But Pllil was .not a succes'aful lawyer' for nothing. Let Jeff take the train, he decided; but he and Margot would take it; too, and they'd transact this last important bUsinewss on board. Margot 1l greed to that, although she denied to herself that her prompt acquiescence and the fiut- `ter in her heart were due to the thought of ]Seeing Jeff again. On the train Jeff proved difficult. '^I can't sign anything without legal advice," was his ultimatum. "How To you enpect to find a lawyer on the train?" shouted Phil. "Are you denying the right of counsel?" Jeff demanded, Margot stoPPed the battle be- tween them. `After all, Philip, if he's not satisfied he ,]Mould have a lawyer. These might be one on the train.;' "A Lawyer On The Train?" "There's always one on the train," Jeff agreed glibly and -start- ed out of the ca/bin. "1'11, be right back with one," He hunted up the porter. "My name's Thompson, what's yours?" "Sam, sir," the porter replied. "Well, Sam—you've had a chance to get acquainted with the pas- sengers—is there a lawyer an the train?" "No sub," Sam. answered "But, excuse me sub, are ,need orf Iegal advice?" "Sort of," Jeff admitted. "Well, sub, ah've studied law at night school and ah've passed mal bar examination — if all could be of service to you—" "Yost know about property law?" Jeff asked quickly. "Yes, sub," Sam replied modest- ly. "Well come into Compartment A, You've acquired a client." For the next several hours, Sam alternated between being Porter and counsel, fetching them food and beverage in between handing down legal precedent. "If Ash may suggest, sub," Sam said after long wrangling, "Ah think, with conusel's permission., it might be wiser if' the party of the first part and the party of the second part arbitrated this person- ally." "Now that's a good idea," Jeff beamed. "Margot and I can go into the observation car and talk it over." "Oh, no you don't," Phil said decisively. "She's not talking with- out me around to protect her in- terests." "Okay." Jeff sat back, and ges- tured to !Sam. "Proceed, counsel." The legal technigalities were at last ironed out. Phil and Jeff bade Margot goodnight and betook them- selves to their berths. "Goodnight', said Jeff curtly as he turned to his. "Goodnight," replied Phil as he made dor ,the one directly oppo- site. "By the way, Thompson, I think you understand it would be pleasanter all around if you didn't see Margot in the morning. You're getting off before she's up and all that — and — well, she asked me to say thanks for all your trouble." "Sure," said Jeff. "Goodnight!' BStter Say Goodbye " Jeff found his berth wildly m1 comfortable even with his coat and shoes off. However, he managed to bear up under the discomfort until mild .snoring from across the aisle assured him Phil was asleep Then, donning his ,shoes and coat he tiptoed out of the car and made • Yoe Margot's compartment. • • He knocked softly, and failing t0 get an answer, called her name through the door. There was no response. A. second attempt met with no better success. His hands thrust in his pockets, his head bent, he started on toward the platform. Suddenly the train door opened . Margot, her face sad and wistfr entered and came toward him. "Hello," he greeted. "I see ;'ou'v been outside." "Yes," she auswered. "On ih platform." "I guess T won't see you in the taming." "No — I guess not." "We'd better say goodbye now, then." "Yes," she agreed, "we'd better." "Because the train gets to W - paepA at eight Reilly. You'll still be asleep,"" `rves," she replied.

As to shoes, they think that red shoes ought to be fine with a black, beige or navy suit, with no other touch of red anywhere. That means neutral gloves, hag, and hat. Alligator, which used to be al- most exclusively a fall Ieather, is all over the place for spring this year. The shoemakers have im- proved their method of handling it; it is lighter and seems nloi'e flexible than it used to be. Navy Still Leads For Spring Wear Navy still leads for spring by a wide margin. This is a bulle- tin from the New York fashion field, not the gridiron. Every fashion show, every shop, win- dow and a great majority of the girls are in the navy up to their pompadours, colors, middies, in- signias and even waves --finger waves. The army -brown shades are doing nicely, ' thank you—as a fashion influence a• little slower on the uptake, but a real fashion as its colors shade from army browns to creams, cedar and beige.
