READY MADE WIF .BY CORALIE SYHOPSIS: Willie Ret uoore, to whom Laurie is pretending to bo married to repay an old debt. Is aicay on a flight. Laurie and her slater Uladys are asked lor the week end by Mark Alhery, who m ploys both Hex and Laurie. And Gladys, who dances in a show, meets "Jimmy Smith" at Albery's the catch being that his name is not Smith, but Dallas. Chapter 21 DINNER DATE rALLAS had that something that creeps Into . gtrl'i mind. Into her heart, Into her blood. Above all. Into her Imagination. Jimmy . Dallas was glamorous. He could create an atmosphere, a mirage, a light that never was. While It lasted, you saw only blm; everything he did was right; there was no other world. She smiled at him eagerly, as he talked his characteristic lova-non- sense to her, and held her at arms' length, admiring her with bis strangely shining brown-green eyes, and playfully pretended to blta the tiny velvet forget-me-not wreath through which soma of ber rich golden curls were threaded over one ear, and said excitedly, "Flow erface, I could eat you, you re so pretty, you delicious little thing! He asked her what she was going to do, and was delighted that she was to be In London tor a time. "We'll have lots and lots of fun I'm supposed to work at our London offices. We'll have tbe most glorious secret parties, you and I." "Secret! What for!" Jimmy looked at her with mock dec pnlr. "It'll have to be secret 1 must make you understand. My father must'nt know that I've got a dear little pal like you. He'd simply go off the deep end. My mother's pet, but she can't stand up against him. Nor can my sisters, except the married one, and 1 don't trust her.' "Have 1 got to keep you dark from my sister?" Gladys asked. "You said she was Albery's secre tary, didn't you?" Gladys nodded. "I'm afraid you will, Flowerface for a time. You see, Albery knows my old man well. I can't take tbe risk." "You talk like a cowardly baby! said Gladys nervously. Something that she did not understand Id her was offended. But she didn't want to let him go. "You don't know my father, sweet. And I'm absolutely depen dent on him. I shouldn't got a siblll- Ing, If I rubbed him up the wrong way. 1 tell you, It's a dog's lite, keeping him quiet and managing to have a little fun!" "Out, If I'm not to tell Laurie, bow shall we moot?" Gladys asked. "We'll manage, don't worryl I've got your address. It was your sister I sat next to at dinner, I And," he went on, with a half -smothered laugh of amusoment. "A bit stand offish and like a school Wrm, Isn't she? Wouldn't approve of 1 1 ttl e Jimmy, I'm afraid!" ' In that moment, through his light, magnetic tempter's voice, the seed of deception was sown In Gladys's frivolous soul. She knew that Laurie wouldn't approve of Jimmy Dallas. Bhe would have to manage so that her sister didn't know of their meet ings. CHE did not tell him at the Inct J dent of Laurie' s finding the gold elgaretcase, and that she had spoken of him as Jimmy Smith. What a silly old tyrant his father must bet "Jimmy, do you really love me?" ihe asked, as they strolled back. A doubt was In her voice. "You know If we're going to keep It a secret that we know each other, I ought to be sure." "Flowerface, can you be surer? Don't you know you're the only girl In the world?" "Do you think you'll want to marry me?" "Do I think?" His voice dropped. It had that soft, sultry note that conveya so much more than words. "But It couldn't be yet." "I don't care! She spoke grandly In her Ignorance of life. "I don't want to get married yet, either. I want to see a bit of the world." "We'd better go In." he said. "Now. you understand, don't you? And I can trust you not to give the show away?" "I'm not a fool, thanks." "Tomorrow morning I'll come snd take you out for a spin and we can make the plans how to meet" "Aren't you rather too daring, Mr. Dallas?" she mocked. "Supposing Mr. Albery told your father?" He gave her a playful slap. STANTON "Monkej said. You're adorable!" n But, In case you don't knot It Albery told me he'd asked mi over tonight especially to amusi you." At which they both laughed mer rily, and Gladys raced him to th house, as Beet as Atalanta, a pall blue streak of light under the'moon a thing of exquisite grace. On the Monday afternoon Laurie and Gladya went back to London. All Sunday morning Laurie had worked, partly with Mr. Albery, but tor a longer period transcribing some Important specifications. Al bery congratulated her several times, and seemed genuinely sur prised at her intelligence. On the Tuesday she went to the office as usual, expecting her em ployer to come up from Cambridge shire. Che was told by his right hand man that he bad telephoned early to say that he would not be at the office until the afternoon. She waited as no further news came, and It was about Ave o'clock when he turned up. "You have heard from Moore?" was his first question when she was summoned to bis room. "No." "I've Just had a wireless from Marseilles. I couldn't understand what he was doing, not getting back before this, but It seems poor Wilmer Jones went down wltb fever, and Moore had to bring him to Mar seilles by easy stages. lie says he's coming on as soon as he's settled him In a nursing home there. Tbe missing men are doing as well as possible In hospital on the Coast." HOW long will be be?" Laurie. asked "He doesn't say. I should think he'd get off today or tomorrow. 1 thought you would be bound to have heard." "No," said Laurie again. She felt unaccountably hurt She had not had a word from him all tbe time. He might have kept up appear ances, as he had Insisted on her doing so. '1 expect you'll And a message when you get home," said Albery consolingly, with that nolo of friend ly Interest In bis voice that he so carefully cultivated. "I'm sorry I'm late, Mrs. Moore, but I was delayed. There are a few rather Important letters. Do you mind staying for a bit?" Of course not, If you want me, Mr. Albery," said Laurie. She was always at ease In their purely busi ness relationship. "You havo an exceptionally clear mind." he said to her, after he bad ssked her a question at the end of dictating several letters. "I should think you could make decisions quickly and wisely." Laurie was pleased. She know she was efficient. She had made herself Albery looked at the clock. It was after six. Would you mind going on a little longer, Mrs. Moore? There Is a re port on this fuel that we were work ing on on Sunday. It has to be typed very carefully because the man has made so many corrections after the last test. It would be a groat ad vantage for me If I can have It to night." Of course, I shall be dollchted, Mr. Albery. I'll tnko It and do It at once." "Would It be oaslcr If I dictated It?" Laurie studied the sheets and shook her head. No. thank you: 1 would rather dc It myself." She went away, typed the letter! first and took them to Albery, and then became Immeraod In the tricky work or typing the report. Time passed without hor knowing It. Al bery opened the door of her office, and told hor it woa after seven.' 'It will do In the morning. Mrs Moore." Oh, no, 1 haven't much more to do! Don't you wait Mr. Albery. I'll bring It round to your flat when I've done." "No, I'll wait," he said. When Laurie took the finished report to him, he was alone In his office. The groat building had gradu ally fallen Into silence. Thanks very much," he said. And now you must let me give you some dinner." "Oh. no. Mr. Albery, thore'U be some at home!" But it's quite late aftor eliht and I wanted to road this through. t'lease, it would be a pleasure to me. win just go through It and then we will drive round to the Savoy."
