Had she heard Hester Tremaine's comment to her mother she would not have wondered, she would have known, might have been more pleased than troubled. "Dick's mad abaout the common little thing," Hester told her mother. "Can't keep his eyes off her. Some fine day we'll wake up and find Suzanne, product of Mar ker's bargain basement, hanging from our family tree." This was a misrepresentation and unkind, but Hester was not especially kind. "Dick's just having a good time," her mother said easily. "He's isn't taking on a wife to support, not since your father has shut down on him." "He seems to think Suzanne has ter shrugged.

Flowers came daily. On Christ mas he gave her a compact, of all things, a smooth, shining thing, sweet to the touch, entrancing. Susie offered hey lips in an im pulsive gesture of gratitude and it was strange that she thought of Jeff when Dick kissed her. She saw little of Jeff these days. Except for the Christmas party, with Jeff making a palpable effort at holiday cheer, with Edna and John Harker deeply oblivious to everyone save themselves, she had scarcely seen Jeff. She knew that Edna and Mr. Harker were married on the last day of the year; in fact Jeff diffi dently asked her to attend the simple service, but that was the day of the Hermit Club ball and Susie gave the Bowmans never a thought. Dick asked her to wear the Snow White gown and she gave thanks, it being the only evening frock provided by Harker's. Ready for the party she was like a per fumed kitten, drowsy wtih de light, tiny thrills singing through her blood. Dick's apparent adora tion gave her confidence and con fidence gave her poise. Utter hap piness lent beauty where none existed. Her scarlet mouth was a flower, waiting to be crushed, her imper tinent little nose added personal ity, her shadowed eyes were deep with the mystery of love. Only one small incident jarred on the perfection of the evening. Dick poked tun at me party. Susie should see how they did things in Hollywood. He ruined one entire dance by minutely de scribing a soiree at the home of a prominent actress. Susie wanted to De impressed and was, sligntly, until Dick inadvertently let. out the fact that the party was a benefit of some kind. "They do things out there," Dick said boastfully. "They lead and these mugs follow." Susie, who had thought the Her mit Club party the last word in sophistication and luxury, felt a bit deflated. "Why do you stay here if you don't like it, Dick?" she asked. "If you want to know the truth," he replied, his cheek touching one of her curls, "it's because a certain girl has a strange hold on me," This was only half the truth. Dick's father had not yet seen the advis ability of tendering a loan to his son. Up went Susie's spirits. Dick of ten said things like that. Never ha he said he loved her, never had he verged beyond the indifenite, but small straws in the wind kept her blood at fever pitch. Maybe your girl would liku California," she suggested daring ly. He side-stepped. "My girl Is tied up wim a radio contract, he said. Dick was much impressed with Susie's contract, especially when she naively mentioned her, salary. If she made good That was an other reason why he lingered on, to see u sne made good. Meanwhile the telephone calls, flowers, tea dances, dinners, first nights at the theatres went on and at last cam the night of Susie's first broadcast.
