SYNOPSIS
When her father's bank falls, Ann
Dclafield decides to help the family
exchequer by going to work. She
obtains employment as "companion-shopper"
buying competitors'
products to compare with those of
Barclay & Weiss, a largs depart
ment store for which she works.
Ann is attracted to handsome Paul
Bradley, the merchandize manager,
who hired her. He is her idea of a
real man compared with the young
wastrels in her society set. Brenda
. Selx, the gift shop buyer and Ann's
superior, who loves Paul in vain, is
jealous of Ann. On her first day af
business, Ann meets an old ad
mirer. Cordon Gavin. Cordon's
father was ruined in the crash and
committed suicide, and the former
playboy is now an advertisement
writer for Barclay ft Weiss. Renita
Parrish, another - employee, sees
Cordon and Ann lunching together
and glares, at them. Following hii
father's death, Gordon dropped his
rkh friends and had found Renita
balm for his loneliness. He now
regrets that he ever encouraged
her. At another table. Ann sees
Bradley watching her. Brenda ridi
cules Ann when she turns over to
the buyer the fruits of her first
- shopping tour a fitted pouch-bag
and two novelty bracelets. As the
discouraged girl turns away from
Brenda,' aha encounters Paul. He
gets a very favorable opinion on
the bracelets from the costume
jewelry buyer, so be instructs her
to place an order for the same. As
for the pouch, he takes that for
further consideration.
CHAPTER VIII ,
1 Gordon Gavin never took his eyes
off Ann Delaneld during the adver
tising conference on the sixth floor.
Renita Parrish. who had no real
reason to be present, kept her
strange green orbs three-fourths of
the time on Gordon Gavin, and one-
fourth on Ann' Delaneld, while the
sultry raze of Brenda bell was
fixed, as though oblivious of any
thing else, on the handsome mer
chandise-manager.
- The air sizzled with something
over and above "business"!
By grapevine telegraph, the word
had gone around the store that a
nrcttv Society rirL on the strength
of her beauty svnd background, had
been engaged by Mr. Bradley, who
had been, completely bowled over by
her.- and so had Gordon Uavm
' whom she had picked up in the res
taurant at lunch, bare-zacediy. .
That she was high-hat too, and
had eockily set up her opinion
against that of the Gift Shop buyer,
who was going to have her dis
charged.
- That she was a vamp, and an in
terloper, and had come here for a
whim, being bored with Park Ave
nue and probably seeking male
worlds to conauer.
Not only was Gordon Gavin
staring at her, bewitched (that was
the word) but the Art Director of
the advertising as well! This was
too much, albeit thrilling, when he
was not only Cora bchrmdt i ad
mirer but it was absolutely essen
tial for him to keep his wits about
. him at the conference, for it was no
small job to be responsible for
thousands of illustrated ads weekly,
and this was the occasion of the big
Sundav lav-out.
Cora Schmidt seemed unaware of
it, however. From her fingertip
jangled a bracelet of crystal and
beads in fancy design. Thus con
: spicuously poised above the assort
ment oi bauDies in tne lap oz tne
buyer of Costume Jewelry, Brenda
Kelz saw it and turned purple. The
bracelet $he'd turned down . . . right
here in Mr. Bradley's own office
. Incredible! ; -" "
Mr. Bradley was calling upon the
bag buyer to show the goods that
be had selected Sox the Sunday fid.

Bag Buyer, who, though careless of
his grammar, was endowed,.with a

and he held up the very bag that
Brenda had rejected from Ann
Delaneld 1
Miss Selz nearly passed out!
But the Advertising-Head and
the Merchandise-Manager okayed
his choice and other items, and it
came to her own turn. Was it her
fancy, or was there a slightly antag
onistic look in Mr. Bradley's eye
as he informed her that her space
for Sunday must be cut in less than
half, this week?
Was this retribution!
The conference continued. Brenda
could now have left, but the brace-
et on the tip of the finger of the
Costume Jewelry buyer held her,
willy-nilly.
. Was it really going in the Sunday
lay-out?
It was I That little Delaneld
minx had put a swift one over on
her . . . but would pay for it!
In front of Mr. Bradley were the
nroof sheets of the big double
spread, and here and there a column
would be already half filled.
Subject to complete change, of
course. Mr. Bradley s word was
final, although it was an understood
thine that the Advertising Head

ments for cuts, space, drawings.

Now Mr. Bradley asked sharply:
Who wrote the copy for this lin

"I did. Gordon Gavin replied.

The big Ice Carnival for Charity
was to be held at Madison Square
Garden on the night of November
16th.
"And for the Lord's sake, try to
sell some tickets for us," groaned
sister Bernice to Ann. Bernice was
now"cocktil -hostess" at The Laugh-
xng Pig rendezvous on East 54th
Street, decorated by Freddy, and
haunted by the so-called elite."
Bernice and Claire were involved
in most of the big charity functions,
in one way or another. Sometimes
Ann bad the disturbing suspicion
that her sisters were involved more
than was ethically correct, i.e. that
they were getting a rake-off in com
mission, like many Society damsels
who were none too scrupulous.
"Ill do what I can." said Ann
who was enormously busy, these
pre-cnristmas days.
The work in and out of the store
absorbed her, though she did go to
a few parties, as became a post
debutante in her first "post" year,
lor Ann was only nineteen.
"bomething sew in ideas," said
Claire the blati. "is what we want.
I'm sick of seeing the same old
faces. I declare Freddy did a good
job in putting them on the bodies
of pigs!"

wnen even stupid Bernice was col
leciing mirty-nve oouars every
Saturday for drinking champagne
cocktails, at , The Laughing Pig,
between the hours of five and seven.
Ann thought over the Ice Car
nival. She hatched a bright idea.
It would kill three birds with one
stone. Promote the success of the
skating fete. Benefit Barclay &
Weiss's department store; And pla

Gift Shoo buyer.

been stuck with them. She had had
wrong hunch.
Brenda had been called down by
aul Bradley for her reckless buy
ing of the masks and dominoes,
which were luxuries that in these
times people couldn't afford. He
told her so.
Suppose, thought Ann, "we
make the Skating Carnival a
masked affair? Masks and domi
noes? To be bought at the entrance
to the rink that night at five dollars
pair7"
That wasn't much to ask for
something one could keep, and, use
again and again for fancy dress.
r l ft , a . I 1
sue nusnea, D cause, innately
honest as she was, she knew that
please Paul Bradley was her
principal motive.
Claire and Bernice were delighted
at her suggestion.
Bernice thinking of flirtation, and
of the amazing effect her beauty
would make on men when her mask
was removed.
Claire because anything secretive
appealed to her, just as a certain
slyness in Captain de Freyn had
put his stock up with her.
a hey took it up with the chanty
committee of which Bernice was
chairman. Ann was told to go ahead
on the order.
She approached Brenda Selz.
"You want to take the whole lot
off my hands?" in incredulous
amazement.
We can use two hundred masks
and dominoes, charging five dollars
the pair," said Ann eagerly, "of
course I think we should get a cer
tain discount on the deal to be
given to the charity, Miss Selz?"
Now to get rid of her white ele
phant otherwise one thousand
dollars' worth of merchandise that
wouldn't "move" certainly ap
pealed to the Gift Shop buyer.
bne disliked Ann Delaneld, but
she would use her to the limit. Why
not?
Ann's costume for the Ice Car-
nivalwas bright scarlet, trimmed
with white fox f nr.
Extravagant white boots with
white fur tops to them went with
the smart little suit and cap that
were so eminently becoming to Ann.
Ann skated Deauuiuuy.
She was looking forward im
mensely to the Carnival, for she
adored skating, and to know, that
she had combined an excellent
stroke of business (via the masks
and dominoes) was doubly gratifying.-
.
Gordon Gavin was emerging from
his shell and coming to the Carnival,
and all her own crowd would be
there too. People from the store,
also, principally among the buyers.
Ann thought: "If only Mr. Bradley
would cornel" But there was no
hope of it, for he seemed to have
no interest . whatever in Society
functions.
When the big night came, and the
Garden ice rink was crowded, and
the band played all the newest
tunes, Ann was on air. Masked as
she was, she had innumerable part
ners, but there was one a tall man
who was a perfect skater who con
trived, after a time, to annex her.
He was curiously silent, consider,
ing that champagne cocktails at a
dollar apiece had been flowing like
the Hudson River from the start.
Many of Ann's partners had been
tippety on their skates, due to liba
tions, or over-daring in perform
ance, so that it was really lovely to
have the perfect ice-partner at last.
They swooped, they whirled, ex
quisitely timed.
"A professional, of course?"
thought Ann, giving herself over to
the exhilarating rhythm.
But, over and above all this per
fection of , movement, there was
something magnetic about her tall
companion, so that she refused to
let anyone else cut in.
