Maris thinks they should enjoy the present rather than deny them- selves for the future. She becomes uncertain of her love for Rod. Perhaps there would be more hap- piness with someone else. CHAPTER VIII "Of course you'll make good, Maris. Don't start acting silly new." Patsy spoke firmly, for Maris was verging on a hysterical state, after all her excitement. "Come, let me fix this," and keep- ing her interested in what she was doing, Patsy managed to .get Ler calm again. "There, you look swell!" ex- claimed Patsy. "1 can't think why Jimmy's so long in coating to- night. I did think he'd be here to see you before you left. It's too bad that Rod's still in the West." But even as she spoke, the bell rang and a moment later Jimmy was standing awestruck, looking at Maris. "Going to beat us to it are you?" he questioned looking around. "I must say Rod didn't lose any time. Just saw Charley Gordon and' he said Rod's gad- get's going over big." "Oh, Jimmy," laughed Maris hysterically, "I'm not a real bride tonight. I'm just going to wear this gown at the exposition — to advertise Fayson's crepe." He turned with incredulous eyes to Pat. "What's that the girl's saying? She means she's not going to marry Rod?" Pretending Tonight "Oh, sure she'll marry Rod when the time comes, honey, and be glad to," answered Pat. "Only it won't he tonight, for she's just a pre- tense bride tonight."

Better not let anyone run, away with you, Maris. Think Pat- sy and I had better come along?" "Oh, no, there's no need for that. I know you'd rather stay at home. Gee, I bet that's my taxi! Where are the flowers?" "They're in the ice -box, Jim- my. Get them, and wrap them up in the paper that's lying on the table, so they won't drip on this magnificent cloak." Then Pat caught up the evening wrap of glistening white and silver lame and draped it about Maris' shoul- ders. But when she reached the side- walk, it was not a taxi driver, but a liveried chauffeur who opened the door of the luxurious sedan which old Fayson usually rode in to his office. When he raised his eyes to hers, for a moment he looked as though he had seen a ghost. But, remembering his place, the look of surprise was quickly followed by the imperson- al glance that is the mark of the well trained servant. Where She Belonged As Maris leaned back against the softly upholstered cushions and glanced about her, she felt as though she was at last in her proper setting. All sorts of lux- uries were revealed in the fittings of the car, and in the vases were delectable hothouse blooms whose delicate fragrance suggested exo- tic loveliness. The car drew up to the curb. A man in livery hastened to open the door, and escort Maris within the hall. As she crossed the thres- hold, Stan stepped forward and eagerly clasped her hands. "I'm so glad you've come. I wanted to call for you myself, but I've been in a frightful rush ever since you left." "Well, it will soon be over," answered Maris. "Oh, yes, and I hope we put it across. You see the old man has been rather skeptical about my ideas, but I think he's beginning to see the light." Then as Mrs. Bryce approached, he added, "Tbe other girrs are in the dressing room. Mrs. Bryce will introduce you." Then with a whispered, "You look Iovelier than ever," Stan hurried into the hall. Sounds of music drifted to her through the half -opened doorway, and as the visitors hurried back and forth, Maris felt a strange thrill of excitement sweep through her. This was what she liked — music, soft lights, gaily dressed women with attentive escorts, and the pleasant tingling sensation that made her feel something wonderful was going to happen. Beginning of Adventure But in a moment she was in the dressing room and Mrs. Bryce was presenting her to the other girls, and giving them all some last min - 4 volt :Mutt f ,tion Inv local treatment oft EErrnnna Psoriasis Poison Ivy ilern Mk Penritis AM 021 Stove Stove that ,with th firs,:1 Pi Brings clean, quirk. safe gas waking service to any home anywhere.

There was frank admiration in their eyes as elle took her wrap off and stood re- vealed in the magnificent gown that was .destined to usher her in-, to a thrilling adventure. Once in the hall, they presented a series of tableau; but. it was not till Maris appeared in; the role of a wistful bride, that a sudden roar of applause brought the spec- tators hurrying to the Fayson salon. Time and again she was re- called. At last, as she stepped down from the platform and saun- tered slowly among the crowd, she saw Stan. "You did splendidly," he whis- pered, as he caught her hand. "You were the hit of the evening, I'll see you later." And squeez- ing her hand he hurried away. Little Golddigger Then as she raised her eyes, she caught sight of the girl who had passed her in her limousine, but the once smiling eyes were now like two little daggers. Suddenly Maris felt afraid of her. But light-heartedly she turned to one of the debs who had been in the show with her. "It's been awfully good fun," the girl said to her, smiling sweet- ly, "although I can't understand why Rowene didn't come." Then glancing upwards she caught sight of Rewene's friend and darted toward her. For a moment Maris was hemmed in by the crowd, but as she struggled to move forward, the girl to whom she had just been talking exclaimed as she glanced at her spitefully, "So that's the reason Rowene didn't even if she had romantic dreams about him, certainly no one In the ofiiee had ever had occasion to link her name with his? She caught back a sob. She would not let Patsy know of the bitter aftermath to her glorious evening. While ti ey had been waiting to 'go on the improvised stage, the girls had been charming and friendly, They'd raved about her gown, too, had talked as though Rowene had been kept away by sickness. Was that the reason Stan had given for her non-appearance? Everything would 'doubtless have been lovely if only that oth- er girl—Vi Kent—had kept her mouth shut. But Maris knew in- stinctively* that those girls saw the line that separated a girl who worked in an office from one who was born to wealth.. Yet as she opened the door, a faint ray of hope flickered in her mind. Stan was so pleased with her work. He had said he would see her again, Perhaps if she hadn't dashed home so impetuous- ly he might have brought her back in his car, but the thought of stay- ing a minute longer where those girls might point to her with scorn or hold her up to ridicule, was more than she could bear. If only -she had glanced back as the taxi sped on its way, she might have seen Stan rush fran- tically toward the curb; she might have realized he was sincere when he promised he would see her later. She was glad when she entered the apartment that no one was Spiral Rose Embroidered Apron 437 • MAYFAIR 'DESIGN NO. 437 An apronou will adore and one that will keep you neat and trim while you bustle about.

Little golddigger," she hissed, "and we were all so nice to her, thinking poor old Rowene had had one of her frightful head- aches again." "She might well have a head- ache when the Ivan she was en- gaged to has probably been fool- ing around with this stenographer for dear knows how long," retort- ed the other girl with a cruel glance at Maris. "She's given him up. I asked Stan the minute I got here, for I passed this girl on. the way and almost mistook her for Rowene." "Well, if that's Stan's type Rowell 0'11 • be happier without him." Again she turned with a withering glance at Maris. But the gleam in Maris' • dark • eyes was not lost on a young roan nearby, who hurried toward her and tried to speak to her. I -low-. ever, she had had enough, and without even waiting to see Stan again, she slipped into the dress- ing room, got her wrap and hur- • ried home in a taxicab. So . that was what they thought of her! Tears trembled on Maris' long dark lashes, but she would not let thele fall. She would not let those girls have the satisfac tion of knowing they had hurt her. And now as she stood at the door of her apartment she was. glad she had held her head high when she had hurried down the stairs and reached her taxi. • A Soli Stifled Her won(lerful evening had brought her nothing but disap- potl mcnf;. ATI the triumph that, she felt in her reception by the spectators was poisoned by the chatter of the girls. \"1•:.t right had they to talk like t,::,t: •lltrty dared they hint that there 1“).8 anything between Stan •and her? She'd hardly spoken to hien-�--and around. Passing Patsy's room, she heard a sleepy voice cry, "How did it go, Maris?" "Oh, great," she answered, glad that Patsy could not see her tragic face. There was no need of telling her how the girls had treated her. At least Stan was satisfied, and Fayson's would like- ly benefit by the show. But as she took off the gorge- ous gown and the filmy undies that had made her so happy a few short hours ago., all her dreams of stepping up in society lay crumbling at her feet. Slipping on her old silk kimona and push- ing her dainty feet into her shab- by mules, she huddled down into a boudoir chair by the window. Humiliation Over the roofs she looked, past the tall towers with their blinking lights, up to the dark blue sky where the moon, now beginning to wane, looked like an enormous half dollar against the sky. Her throat constricted. Tears were near her eyes, and somehow as she lived over again the humilia- tion that the girls had showered on her, her sensitive lips quiv- ered. How dared they act like that; how dared they speak so ,about her when thele wasn't a word of truth in it?

The chilly air blew in and she drew her shabby bathrobe more closely about her. Maris wouldn't have 'believed anyone could be so mean to •a stranger, especially when she was taking a part at a momen't notice. She thought of the girls she worked with. Not one of them would have been guilty of rudeness, such lack of fine feel- ing. Of course Milly was a bit of a vamp and didn't hesitate to take every chance of making a hit with the Hien, but never as long as Maris had known her had she done anything so contemptible as had those girls whose parents' name illuminated the pages of the Social Register. Perhaps, though, they weren't all like that. Somehow she had always en- visioned the daughters of the four hundred plus as lovely girls, whose manners and general con- duct were something superior to the girls she worked with. Milly had told her that was all boloney, that they were a hard set; but, as she studied their pictures in the papers, she was sure Milly knew nothing about what she was dis- cussing. Memories "But now, Maris' soft lips curv- ed in a smile of derision. "I bet Milly's right!" she thought. Soon Maris opened her windows wider and slipped into bed. But she could not sleep. From one side to another she tossed, then turned over her pillow; but still sleep would not come. Her brain was working with tireless activ- ity. "Gee, if I don't get to sleep soon Pll be hearing the milkman," she murmured to herself. "This will never do—I must try and for- get those vicious society debs. I can't afford to let their gall keep me from sleeping." Then, suddenly, as though a hand had pulled back a curtain in her memory she saw as plainly as though she were there, the dark Ramapo Hills and the wide waters of Greenwood Lake. A year ago Rod had taken he) to spend the day. It had been a crisp autumn morning when they reached the lake and as they got in the row- boat he'd engaged, she was glad she'd worn a coat. But as the day advanced it was once mare like summer and when they land- ed on the shore to eat their lunch, there was no need of any extra wraps.

The Begum Aga Khan, dark -eyed beauty and one of Paris' Lest dressed women, was the wearer of the dress. The gown was created by Heim's for the Begum and it was inspired from the sari, the loosely draped Indian robe. The sari was covered with vari-shaded red Poses which gave the effect of rose moire when seen a few feet away. Dark red roses added a dramatic contrast to the edging of the :sari.
