Bynopsls
Jennifer Richie's love for Sid
ney Borrows, IV, bad been com
plete, unyielding trust. Sid had
money, social and family back
ground, poise, aophUtication all
that Jennifer waa not. But Bid
lost Interest and drifted away.
Mollis Evans, a fellow-office
worker, invited Jennifer to her
engagement party where aha met
righteous Eugene Evans, the
hostess' brother who fell In love
with her, too. But aha turned
him down.
Jennifer lived with her step
mother, Betty Blade, and her two
stepsisters. Eugene kept up his
visits, all the while repeating his
hope to marry Jennifer, and one
night during one of his visits, Sid
reappeared unexpectedly. Jenni
fer ordered Sid to leave and never
return.
Eugene came again, demanding
to know the meaning of Sid's
flippant familiarity with Jenni
fer. Then Eugene was run down
by a truck and died practically
in Jennifer's arms.
Then she met Montgomery
Smith, an artist and neighbor,
who took a wholesome interest In
her. He proceeded to broaden
her limited education. Through
a friend of Montgomery's, Jenni
. fer got a Job as a model. Then
at his studio, she met Stan Lich
tensteln, a noted concert violin
ist. He, too, took mora than a
casual interest in her and ex
pressed his feelings In a letter he
wrote her.
On the morning after the con
cert Jennifer was modeling a par
ticularly Impressive robe for an
elderly woman when she glanced
about to see Stanislaus himself
watching her from a near-by
chair. He was sitting quietly, his
hat on the tame Desiae nun. nis
hand with his gloves dangling
from it resting on the head of his
suet.
Jennifer gave him one shy half
amlle before rememoering ner in
structlons never to let her gaze
wander from the Immediate con
templation of the prospective cus
tomer; she was not supposed to
volunteer a remark of any kind
tinder these circumstances, but
she could not resist a temptation
to murmur to Miss Judson, who
was making the sale, that that
man was Liechtenstein, the vlo.
llnUt.
A little stir ensued. Jennifer
paid no attention to It. but a mo
ment she had an almost Inau
dible message from some girl who
flitted behind her: -Houister
. spoke to him; he says he's wait
ing for a friend."
Everyone on the floor was pres
ently conscious of his presence,
Jennifer the only one who never
dared move her eyes In his di
rection. The dress waa sold and
she had turned to go back to the
dressing room when she found
herself face to face with him. His
eyes were glowing and she felt
his hands tremble as they grasped
hers. I
"You are an wonderful!" he
breathed, drawing her to a some
what secluded alcove. "Come here

stood beaming: down at her. Jen

taffeta gown, wanted to free her

from the eyes that were all about
her.
"What are you afraid of?" the
man said. "Nobody Is looking at
youl My beautiful wonderful
angel," he added under his
breath.
"I have to go take this off,"
Jennifer murmured, freeing her
hands. She ran away upstairs,
flustered, flattered, frightened by
the encounter. He was crazy, of
course, but what an exciting thing
to have a man crazv in that par
ticular way I The other girls

everyone was conscious of Stan
islaus Licmensteurs presence.
There would very likely be no
comment upon it whatsoever, and
all this panting and flushing and
gasping were nonsense. Jennifer
put on her clothes, pulled on a
mail hat. and went out to lunch.
Jennifer felt the languor of

laughed at the rangy big boy who
said it as he hurried past her in
the friendliest way Imaginable.
She had never seen him before,
she would never see him again,
but It waa pleasant, still laughing
when a hand went with sudden
authoritative firmness under her
elbow, and ahe looked up to see
Stanislaus Llchtenstein smiling
eagerly down at her.
"Who speaks to vou" he asked.
The girl looked bewildered. "Then
you dldn'. know him?" Stanislaus

"That man who went by? No,
I'd never aeen him before."
"But he spoke to you."
"Oh ves. He said. 'What a day

They went down the long ar
cade of the Palace Hotel: Jennifer
had never lunched here before.
She was enchanted with the open
court, the flowers, the men and
women waiting In the great chairs
of the lobby, and the gay little
tables, and surrounded by laugh

Tall palms drooped here and
there, waiters went quickly to and

be the gin wiui nun, to De watcn

sensation she had never had in
her life before, a sensation of

admiration, a sheer joy In being

pletely bewildered condition to
dream her war through the tJ-
ternoon hours in the hot, crowded
shop, remembering the ecstatic
expression on Stan's face his pas
sionate attention to her every
word, his complete absorption In
her during tne meal.
Weill A thing like this certain
ly took one's breath away. He
had said to her: "You will lunch
with me tomorrow and the day
after? Tomorrow night I will
olav In Oakland, but you have
had enough of me and mv music.
I will not ask you to do that. And
then lunch on Saturday yes. I
will call for you at one: you are
free after that for the afternoon?
What shall we do? As a it msi
tered what we did! A;xl on Sat

sisters, shall we go to dinner? At

you will write to me, and I will
trv to come back to stay here a
week with no concerts to bother
us. I will be tired: I will want
lust to go out to the beach and
rest and talk to you. Will you do
that?"
She had laughed at some of It,
had been oddly embarrassed by
little of It. had found herself
mizzled at her own reaction to
the hour of music and perfume
and luxury and pleasure. Alto
gether, it was somewnat exnaust
lng. - Jennifer walked home
through the languid sweetness of
the dvins dav: even the shabbi
est of the gray streets was lrradl-
atea oy tne long son lignt. As
paragus and strawberries were al
ready in the markets, and aprl
cots and figs and corn would fol
low, Jennifer thougnt. She leit
a general relaxing and mellowing
of spirit and flesh; spring was a
heavenly time. Jennifer stopped
and bought a bunch of freeslas
for fifteen cents.
Thst night she invited Faddy
ana jana to go out xor a waiK, ana
they wandered up the hill past
the nark and sat on a atone cod-
Ing looking down at the sea. The
moon was slowly moving across
the sky; there was still light In
the west. The little girls were
in high feather and chattered
with increasing confidence and
recklessness. There were boys at
school, and look, one of them
said this, and another wrote that
on the w:iU. Wasn't that awful?
Jennifer, feeling old and wise
and aad, agreed soothingly that
it was too oaa dui ooys were uxe
that; they didn't really mean any
thing much, thev were lust
well, like that. Faddy said that
she hated boys: Elna did not com
mil nerseu. two or inree times
the small girls were moved to
violent and joyous laughter at
Jennifer's observations, and 'then
she laughed too. They came back
tnree aoreast arms unicea. in
affection and felicity.
"Your friend telephoned," Betty
told her when they came In.
"Monty?" Her eyes brightened.
She had fancied him out of sym
pathy with her.
"He said to aay. 'Stan,' Betty
answered dryly.
"Oh. Oh, he's crazy." Jennifer
said lightly. Disapproval was in
Bettv's manner.
"He certainly sounds that way."
Betty assured her. Nothing more
was said on the suDJect.
Crazy he might be, but the
world in which Stan moved was
an enchantlnv world for Jenni
fer, and it was hnrd for her to
resist Its anneal. The Intoxication
of it was swift In taking hold of
her, and for the next few davs
she lived In a dream No girl alive
out would oe allectrd bv this
glimpse of monev and luxuries
and perfumes and the beauty of
spacious great places; the big
hotel lobbies, tne restaurants, tne
magnificent operahouse were all
new to her. They lunched to
gether hurriedly, for her time was
limited. Betty would not con
sider her going off to dinner with
Stan, giving In finally to the
plan by which they should all
dine together on Stan's last night.
