' "Will yon bring your sales-sheets to my office 1. I would like to have a word with you, he said succinctly. : Fear ruerht her. - Was anvthinsr the matter? Was she to be fired? A few minutes later, a secretary In his outer office was telling her the merchandise-manager was busy. Mr. Herman Weiss was closeted with him. She must wait. That Herman Weiss co-owner of the store with Thomas P. Barclay, did not like her she was cognisant. ' And it was not because of anything that had happened on the job. it was because-of a snub administered to his daughters by none other than her sister Claire. Claire had been in charge of a contract tournament for charity, but by invitation only held in a suite of the swank hotel, where the Weisses resided. The daughters had been anxious to bay tickets for said tournament indeed, they had wanted to buy a dozen tickets, ana give a party to some of their for mer friends from Riverside Drive, and swank a bit about having an entree to "the inner circle." ... Which laudable ambition Claire frustrated. "No more tickets are being dis Jiosed of," she had told the climbers, ooking down her nose at Rachel and Becky "as though we were the dirt under her feetr Their mother had nagged Her man into raisine a row with the hotel management about it. Didn't they spend their money lavishly ? Weren't their dollars as good as anybody else's ? And so forth. . But the eldest Delafield girl was adamant. Tickets were in her charge. They weren't getting any. Tournament full-up. At that disturbing moment in Ann s cogitations, the door or the 'merchandise-manager's inner office opened and Herman Weiss came out. ',. As he passed, he gave a sharp, an noved look at Ann. " She thought: "Fired! Because of Claire's snobbishnessl" The secretary said: "Yon can go in now. She went, in considerable trepi dation.

"How would you like to be assistant-buyer in the Silk lingerie department? Yon remember our verv first meeting?" Ah! Didn't she? Forever it was en craved in her mind and heart. "You know a good deal about silks already, and it'a no to you to learn more, Miss Delafield. Yon must study laces also. That's important," r She thought: "I'd study Chinese if he asked me to!"

She would go to the great stockroom in the store to see the heavily burlapped bags arrive from China with the heavy gray silks that would be finished in America, treated with the glueing process, made white, losing lots of body in the finishing, and later dyed in pastel colors and fashioned in robes or negligees for her department.

From a twenty-nve-dollar-a-week assistant-buyer in the lingerie, Ann was promoted finally to a full fledged buyer at a salary of f orty-a-week for a start. -Like a fortune. it seemed, though it meant added re sponsibility and work. ' The silk manufacturer she dealt with chiefly was a handsome man of around forty or so, named Tim Bur lington. He had no designer.

Roosevelt outlining his policy about commodity values. p The president's statement em phasized the policy did not mean inflation, land this was seized upon by many traders as indicat ing "that 'yesterday's sharp ad vance of the wheat market had been effected on a mistaken basis. It was also contended . the presi dent's remarks today shed little light on what definite future steps as to commodity prices were to be taken by the administration. Bujinfe Is Curtailed An immediate result was to bring out increased selling of wheat futures and also a curtail ment of buying support for the market. Brokers said much of the selling, however, was in the na ture of efforts to realize profits. With only fractional rallies from the day's bottom, Chicago wheat futures at the close were 1 cent to 1 cents under yester day's finish, May 92i-, July 88-; corn down, May 59, July Turkey Growers Meet at Canby .

And if she can give Gordon poaafc-es, why not? Where's the harmi "So?" Brenda raised black eye brows. "You're singing a different tune? I thought you hated her? After the way she carried on witn Gorton at the dance " "She didnt," Renita Interrupted hotlv. "she was all taken np with Pai bit ul Bradley. And I wouldn t be a surprised if he's crazy over her." It's vou who's crazy! But it'a your own funeral. Here s your beau being vamped away from yon right under your nose. I try to tip you off and you fly out at me " "I m on to you, Brenda," said Renita, "you're darned jealous of Ann Delafield because she's young, pretty, works like a demon and is an all-round good sport.

Rosalind Barclay grand daughter of old Tom Barclay, of Barclay & Weiss was having a celebration at II Rococo. Friends since they had been tots at kinder garten, Ann had been invited to the festivity at the night-club. It s time you stepped out dar ling, and had a good time."

Yes, I ve been working hard. But I adore it, Bernice." "Humph 1" Bernice swung her round. Ann looked lovely in a little- girl gown of Alice Blue chiffon, shirred of skirt, With a Hawaiian lei of forget-me-nots that were ex- " cellent imitations of the real thing lying in misty contrast against the whiteness of ner bosom. - You're far too pretty to slave In that wretched store. But it won't be for long," Bernice remarked sagely. Ann stared at her. .. . Said Bernice, meaningly: "Dont look so surprised. I felt the same way about The Laughing Pig I mean my job there, and my good salary hut - when I knew , that Freddie really wanted me after all, wanted to marry me, nothing but him mattered any more." And what connection has that with tftef" asked Ann. Why. darling " Bernice's eyes widened dramatically "Aren't you in love witn Paul Bradley, your sales-manager or whatever is he called? I think he's perfectly gorgeous-looking! I mean, next to Freddie, of course 1" Ann flushed, . contrived a light laugh. - "Of all the romantic geese you're the worst, my dear sister I He's my boss, that's all he is. The merchandise-manager." "Well, hell boss yon around plenty once you're married to him, Ann. But that's the kind you need to make yon happy. A woman has . to be bossed.

The list forged ahead at the opening, settled down to a slow side wise drift and then suffered a brisk relapse following the pre sident's comments on price lev els which were interpreted by some as spiking the guns of infla tionists. Initial Gains Lost The ticker tape got behind for a brief period "on the sell-off and initial gains of fractions to more than a point were replaced by losses running to 2 or so.
