CHAPTER XXII -
At three o'clock that same day, at
the finish of the tri-weekjy class for
executives, Ann encountered Paul
Bradley on the seventh floor. '
"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.
"Sit down. Miss Delafield," is
the merchandise-manager took the
ales-sheets from her. -
She thoueht: "He looks tired.

Yes. she had that.
"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!" And her heart
seemed to turn right over in her

age Outlining Policy on
Commodities
CHICAGO, Feb. 18-0!P)-RPid
downward plunges of 2 cents In
wheat prices attended today the
conclusion of a statement by Pre
sident . 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

Ann was dressing for a birthday

since they had been tots at kinder

festivity at the night-club.

now Mrs. Frederick Brandon, very -
much married and extremely happy
with ner Freddy (strange as that
may seem) was spending a few days
with her family, her better half hav
ing been summoned to Chicago on a
lucrative job of interior decorating.
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

gorgeous-looking! I mean, next to
Freddie, of course 1"
Ann flushed, . contrived a light
laugh. -
"Of all the romantic geese you're

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. I think he'd make a
divine husband.", - , ,
Useless to argue this, useless to
protest. Bernice was in prophetic,
dreamy condition. Probably due to
the blessed event anticipated in the
not-too-distant future. ...

Stocks Bloom
Then Fade off
Associated Press Average
off Half Point for
Day's Business
NEW YORK, Feb. 1 8-fp)-Stocks
bloomed and wilted in to
day's market.
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. There
was a subsequent come-back and
another dip, but volume dwin
dled appreciably j f ter the mid
day break and the majority of
leaders closed above their lows
of the day.
The Associated Press average
of 60 issues was off .5 of a point
at 44.2. Despite the occasional
fast periods volume was relative
ly small. Transfers totaled 768,
970 shares compared with 856,
790 yesterday.
