Guy Halstead-Flagg was dancing with Toni at Le Chateau de la Mar quite, apparently oblivious to her week-end at the home of Niklas. -.Nor had she told him anything of Lola, partly because he would use it as a weapon to urge her to give up her job, and partly because of loyal ty to Niklas. "Derelicts?" she repeated. Bat she was thrilled. Their friendship had not been progressing. But now, on the most "family" day of the year, they were to be together! "That's a funny way to describe us," she laughed. "Why so?" He looked down at her quizzically as they danced. ' "Deserted wrecks I" "And you're neither one nor the ether as yet." . "But you imply that I shall be soon? I sense another lecture on the impropriety of my job here!" She smiled provocatively into the handsome eyes that challenged her. She felt gay and happy. "A derelict is a bit of flotsam or Jetsam flung up by the tide. Bight? Gar said: "I think it's traits ant The tide being Broadway, natur ally." "And where do you come into the picture T" His eyes narrowed. "If y tide has drawn me into un charted waters. I'm a bit out of my depth, maybe. But I'm a good swimmer." . "You never," she ventured, "let your emotions get the upper hand? -. Is that it?" She had sensed the innu- j endo. And it thrilled her. His feel- - ings had swayed "him toward her against his will. He had practically : confessed it. "It's freezing to-night. ; Your uncharted waters must be cold?" j "On the contrary!' Was it her . Imagination, or did he hold her ; closer as they moved on the dance ' floor? "On Christmas Day you would like to dine here?" ., '.""Heavens.-no! It's a "home day, .- X shall dine with you at your apart- ' dent, said Uuy. - "But I'm paid to come here" "Oh, 111 fix that with Niklas," he told her masterfully. 13he thought; ."Well be complete ly, divinely alone! We can come here for sapper later, unless" and she prayed that it would be as she wanted "he plans to take me out of this environment forever!" - r Would he propose? Washereallv In love? If so, she didn't give a hoot zor ner career! Back at her apartment in the early hours, of the mornine. she roused the new maid, to the letter's indignation, to tell her there would he dinner for two on Christmas. "Mais oui, madame. Jecomprends parfaitement," said the sleepy Zeph rine. '.'.-' S Ton! planned joyously.

S Before going to the club on Christ mas Eve, she hung the white waxen berries and their foliage under the glittering chandelier of the salon, and over the scrolled gates leading into it.

Always Tomorrow By May Christie Old Bridget's blessing descended on her as Toni stopped by the stall, and gave her the gift. "And look in the pocket There's a bill there that'll buy your Christ mas dinner." It would buy several dinners, for Toni was generous and warm-hearted. The old woman followed Toni as she got into a taxi, thrusting her gray head inside. I've been hearing strange things of your club, miss. Queer goings on! W'u'd you keep a watchful eye on yourself? " "Of coarse I shall. But it's a beau tiful club, Bridget. We're giving a grand party on New Year's Eve." "No doubt. But be careful, honey I Share I'm praying the saintsU watch over you I" w w m w Toni slept late on Christmas morning, for she was tired. When Zephrine brought her break fast, she also brought the informa tion that quantities of flowers had come in half-a-dozen boxes. She had taken the liberty of opening them. for fear the flowers might wither. Tnercrhad been no cards inside. You put them in water? They are in the salon?" Toni slipped out of bed. Zephrine flung open the communi cating door. Look! It is like Springtime on the Riviera, ma- dame r 'Jars, vases, every available recep tacle was tilled. Sweet-scented freesia, jonquils. narcissi, tulips, violets filled the air with enchanting perfume. uuyz Of course it had been Guy! Keeping the door open to inhale the - delightful fragrance. Toni breakfasted in bed. To-night she would wear black velvet. A slim gown cut on princess lines, witn little puffed sleeves and deep aecoiietage. v ' " There would be candles on tha dining table, shining on Guy's nowers. Niklas had sent chamnaene. And they would have benedictine li queurs I They- would toast each other's happinessperhaps their mutual future. Directly after dinner, Zeph rine was to go out for the remainder of the evening, and Toni and Guy wouia sit in iront oz the lote firs in the salon, sipping their coffee and liqueurs. From Park Avenue below. wonW drift up sweetest Christmas carols! irelieht f iicrto c and nymns.' They would sit on the big yellow sofa, or perhaps she might be on the chaise-lounge and he would come and sit beside her. Toni's thoughts naa wings I i- Zephrine watched her mrinn.W She was a lank, lean, hard-faced woman. ' She had her own ideas about women who sans? in trio-tit clubs and received men in their apartments. Doubtless there would be plenty to tell Monsieur Niklas during his daily telephonio com munication with her. , Zephrine decided she would make a false departure after dinner. She would slam the door of the apart ment from Me xntuiei ' It was half past six. The lovely Fsench dock on the mantelpiece gave a single silvery chime. Cocktails were mixed, and ia the shaker. In fifteen minutes she would add the ice cubes.- Guy was coming at seven. - In her black velvet gown that was so becoming to her, Toni crossed the salon and took a look at herself ia the mirror. , ; For the first time she felt she real ly liked her' blond hair. ' It was honey-colored, and tonight she had piled the curia on ton of her small head, in Marie Antoinette manner. The doorbell rang. Color flooded her face. .. - - . She heard Zephrine open the kitchen door and go through the foyer. --- Quick, to the chaise-lounge! Dont seem too eager I Sound of a door being closed, ap proaching feet; Zephrine, her eyes Wheat Is up Then Down Half Cent Sag -. Follows Earlier Cent Gains; Trade Is Light CHICAGO, Aug 4-Wr-Wheat prices sagged cent a bushel in late trade today after baring scored gains of about a cent. The close was unchanged at M down. Trade was light and easily In fluenced by moderate buying or seling while awaiting attitude developed pending clarification of the government's crop loan pro gram. Restoration of a $119,000,000 fund for crop loans to the ses sion's last apporpriatlon bill by a senate subcommittee had no immediate effect on prices. September wheat, leading the early advance here, was 1 cents up at 65, but closed un changed to off at 64-64, while December finished at 64 also unchanged to doWn. Contributing to the early up turn were firmness at Liverpool, continued strength at Winnipeg and more prospects of dry, hot weather in the Canadian spring wheat belt. The Canadian National rail ways reported farther crop dam age had been caused- by dry weather and lack of rain. Inept Propaganda Is Charged Labor And big Business PORTLAND, Aug. 4-iP)-Big business and labor both were ac cused of "inept and stupid" propaganda Thursday by speakers at the Reed college Institute of public relations. Harford Powell, former editor of Colliers Weekly, said labor wasn't passing out "enough 'woo to the public" and charged the U. S. chamber of commerce and the national association of manu facturers of dividing the nation into fighting classes. 31 bright with curiosity, her mouth twisted a little, announcing, not Guy, bat Meester Milbankl "Hello there, Toni I" he saia auntilv. "Thought I'd drop in to wish you a Merry Christmas 1" The old nonchalance, the arro gance! Brock acting as though they . were on the old familiar footing! "I think." he said, "that at this festive season, a kiss is in order 1" She had a glimpse of Zephrine's face sarcastic, grim before the maid retreated. "Hello," said Tool flatly, her face blank. Always, at the most inopportune moment. Brock bobbed up ! "Say, you look beautiful I A party, huh?" "I am expecting1 friends." "Obviously. Am 7 not included?" He was insufferable! He made as though to kiss her. Shexsdrew back. "So that's the wav you feel. Is it? Well, anyway, I can have a cock tail, can't I? And take this." He thrust at her. gnnning im pudently, a small tissue wrapped parcel from which emerged the tight-packed faces of sweetheart roses with encircling violets. "A Victorian posy for just an old- fashioned girl 1 Violets for thoughts. These are sweetheart roses I" Toni saw red. "I suppose that this is a tribute to onr past?" "Precisely. Why not? wasnt it sweet while it lasted?" She flung them into the blazing fire. He reddened, visibly annoyed. "I was only kidding, Toni." Ee made a dash to rescue the little posy. but its paper lace frill had already burst into flame. He tried to carry it off with ant "Ungrateful little witch 1" "On the contrary," Toni told him hotly, "I'm ever so grateful to you for my escape!" "Oh. come. come. I'm not as bad as all that." He picked up the cock tail shaker. "Where's the old dra gon? The chaperon, rather. Can't she bring some ice?" Toni touched a button on the wau. The maid appeared. "Some ice, Zephrine." But she would not drink wilh Brock. She would not spoil the promise of a lovely evening by a bad beginning.. And yet, she knew that it would be bad policy to antagonize this man who had thrust himself into her new -life for his own ends. That he planned to use her as a . tool was evident. She mast use sub tle weapons to fight him. Give him a cocktail. Get him away quickly. "You are dining somewhere?" He bowed. "With Harriet Brew ster. She is giving a small party at her home. An aunt. An uncle.' Cousins. You see, already I'm al most a member of the family! Quick work, Toni I" What aead he was ! she thought Although it was against her bet ter judgment, she could not refrain from remarking: "I understand she has a grand bank account." Brock grinned. There was a red ' flare in his brown-flecked eyes that should have warned her. "Am I not fortunate?" She shrugged. Eight minutes of seven! Soon Guy would arrive. - Brock drank his cocktail. "Good! Yon make 'em strong! Who's the lucky man?; The' flush stayed en her cheeks. The scent of the flowers seemed overpowering. She opened a win dow. Snow-swept air whirled into the room. "And, ironically, at this moment came the Christmas carols from below. Teacfon tarth good oUl toward men." - - - "Why not, Toni? Let bygones be bygones. Let's be friends." - , Putting down his glass, he went over to her and tried to slip an arm about her bare shoulders. - At that moment Guy Halatead FU&T walked into the talon.

'-(-Profit taking In the stock market, which got under war in the lat ter part of the preceding ses sion, picked np momentum today and leading issues tumbled 1 to around 3 points. Steels, motors, rubbers, mail orders, aircrafts and specialities were in the forefront of the de cline. Rails, utilities and some coppers held losses to relatively small amounts. Extreme setbacks were reduced In many cases at the close. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks was off a full-point at 49.4, largest drop In this com posite since June 29. Transfers totaled 900,820 shares against 1,007,267 the day before.' A number of reasons were ad vanced in commission houses for the disappointing performance. Chief among these was that spec ulative chart follower had turn ed a bit pessimistic because of the inability of the Industrial av erage to convincingly penetrate the July peak. Once or twice this composite had edged through, but it almost lmemdiately fell back. Business news was still a sus taining influence - and Wall street continued highly cheerful over the defeat of the administration's lending-gpending program in con gress.
