She had tried Charlotte's chairs and given them up as hopeless. "That'; Dr. Warde. The man could graft backbone Into an oyster. Charlotte's eyes were anxious. "You aren't falling In love with him are you? Emily twinkled. "It's plain you haven't seen him. He looks like gnome. And he doesn't know peo ple are really people at all; he thlnka they're Cases, r But he's grand doctor." Charlotte relaxed. "Thank God tor that. Another complication would make me old before my time. Have you had any dinner?' Emily's eyes widened, then nar rowed Into laughter "I was so ex cited over coming that 1 forgot all about eating! CharlntU grinned. "What a busi ness woman you're going to bel haven't eaten either; I was late gottlng away from the office and 1 decided to wait, on the chance that you didn't care for railroad food, Put on your hat then, Infant, and let's go. The restaurant was small, and even at so late an hour crowded When Emily had tasted the food she understood the reason. She looked about her with Inter- est, and wondorod what her mother's reaction would be to the Idea of two unattended women In a public restaurant at this hour. In her so cial code Frances Felton was still tn the mauve decade of her girl' hood. "Now tell me," she said when their order had been taken, "some thing about what I'm going to do.1 Charlotte lit a clgaret, another thing that would have sent Mrs. Felton Into hysterics. Smoking was bad enough at any time, but smoking In s publlo restaurant "You don't start until Monday, but I think It would be a good Idea If you'd come down tomorrow and Saturday and pick up what yon can. Are you feeling At again? "Perfectly." She was tired now, but she didn't want to admit It She hated to begin that way. "That's fine. And then I've got half a dozen books on advertising that will have to be your night school at first." "It sounds rather alarming.' "It Isn't It's easy enough after four years at Ardmora, You can't get through there without sufficient mental equipment to make a go of this. You start off knowing so much more than the average apprentice. Emily was fleetlngly grateful for the rigors of Ardmore, but they eemed too far away now to be of much holp. "You may have. I've let my mind go to seed terribly. Charlotte was unperturbed. "Prob ably. Your letters have sounded a little weedy of late. But a few weeks of Intensive cultivation will help a lot." AS a cultivator Oharlotta rroved Invaluable. There was no such thing, in her vocabulary, as Idleness. When the books on advertising were finished she delved Into the public Horary and unearthed others, which they read together, and which Char lotto expounded as they read. "You're got to believe In it to get anywhere," she said. "This thing of ouiiding an excellent mousetrap and having the world beat a path to your door belonged to a much less com plex age. "Today you have to knock a man down with your mousetrap before he even realizes you've built It Adver tising Is so essential that If the maker didn't advertise his wares the buyer would have to advertise for what he wanted." "I see," said Emily. "And when you're learned to believe In It, what then?" "The thing for you to do la to take these flics of our ada for the past three months and study them care fully: then you'll have a working Idoa of the sort of thing Salter's USPS." Emily laughed. "You'd think that, baring read as many Salter ads as I have In my life, I'd be able to do 'em with my eyes shut" "Not at all. You probably never Tanada'a Death Itntr Drops OTTAWA, Ont.

"Look over these, then try your hand at ona for each department" "Yes'm," Emily said meekly, and set to work. When school was out they played and even Charlotte's play was con structive. She belonged to the Open Forum, and to the play-wrltlng group of the Little Theatre. She read voraciously, and Emily began to know once more the Joy ol matching wits In verbal combat That, she decided, was why she had let her mind go to seed; half the pleasure of reading and thinking lay in clarifying your ideas In argument It was bard to know what you be Moved until you had had to defenl your position from assault SHE took a room In the house wltl Charlotte, and spent luncheor hours bunting French prints, and I lamp whose shade was an old ma of Ireland, and a good wing chair. She bought a tew books oU friends and new ones, In the dollai editions that were such a boon t embryo advertisers. It was Innnltelj better than Ardmore, where yo signed your name In a register when you went out and when you cami back; here no one knew or cared where you went She met Charlotte's friends, and found them as refreshing and as In tensely individual as the Left Wln at Ardmore. ' There was Anne Campbell, who did Illustrating and layout work at Salter's: a slim, blond girl who looked, Charlotte aaid, like an Illus tration by herself. She wore beau tifully tailored clothes that carried smartness almost to the point of ug liness, snd smoked innumerable clgarots In an ebony and amber holder. And there was Viola Burwell, who was Baiters consulting decorator, and who shared an apartment with Anne. Viola, Charlotte confided with a twinkle, was a perfect antonym for Anne. She had a Junoesque figure, a skin like a magnolia, and a mass of blue black hair that she wore In an un steady knot low on her neck. Hei summer wardrobe was composed en tirely of dresses made by herself from cretonnes and chintzes In hei own drapery department She chose the material solelv foi their color or design, and looked. Anne told her caustically, exactly like "one of those trick laundry bags that people paaa on and on to each other at Christmas." Viols smiled vaguely and good-naturedly at the criticism and went her serene way. They accepted Emily Immedlatelt and without apparent curiosity ai in&noue s triena, and asked her and Charlotte to supper on her sec ond Sunday evening In Birmingham The supper was Emily's first ex perience In Bohemia; not the untidy. unwashed Bohemia of Greenwich tII- lege or the Lett Bank, but a gather Ing In which evorybody spoke hit mind and manifested a beautiful un concern for bis neighbor's private life. "They keop open house on Sun- day," Charlotte explained as the) entered the apartment building n which Anne and Viola lived "and aome of the habitues belong to tht zoo, so don't be alarmod at them." The door to the apartment was hospitably alar, and they entered without knocking, stopping drat to leave tholr hats in the tiny hallwor. ine imng-room waa surprising: a beautiful room, simply and ex quisitely furnished. The rugs were dark green and the draperies a suhdued pattern In blocked linen. A grand piano in an alcove supplied me last touch or luxury. The om was emnty save for a long blond youth who was sitting on his shouldor-bladca In an armchair, reading. He said, "H'lo," and then dragged his eyes from the page and rose. Charlotte presented him. "ThU H Jed Latimer. He's the boy s-uadet of the Evening Post." She addressed Jed. "You holding the fort alone?" He nodded, motioning with hli head. "They're In the kitchen, fix ing food. I'm feeding my soul In tend." Anne was In the kitchen, en- eloped In a voluminous smock, busy with French dressing. A round, dark young man with melancholy eyei sat like Humpty Dumpty on a high kitchen stool, watching her flying hands. She greeted them gaily and Intro- uced the young man, whose name waa 8tove Young. He bowed to Emily without moving from the tool, and she thought fleetlngly of a character from "Alice In Wonder land." (Copyright. tt, by Marian Sim,) Lite turn on ntw chirm fsr Imlly, tomorrow.
