' '' CHAPTER X
J A T Bartlett's next day things got
i::." off to a bad start.
2 "I'm sending you to Chester to-
a-morrow," Elsa addressed Con-
astancc. "We're having a preview
gat the Metropole Hotel there. . . .
a Just you and Gertrude. She will
be In charge."
Bartlett's, Constance knew, was
making a campaign to advertise
aits designing department in small
'outlying cities. Assignments to
x such work paid a little extra,
at Pauline, who had just come into
'the room, turned upon Elsa, her
"eyes flashing.
a "Listen," she cried. "It's been
a understood that I was to have this
out-of-town work. You haven't
a any right "
a "We will not discuss my rights,
2 Pauline," Elsa O'Dare answered
asilkily. "The last time I let you
a go, you weren't fit ior work for
"three days afterwards."
a "I don't know what Gertrude's
a been telling you," the girl blazed,
a "but "
a ''Gertrude," Elsa'i green eyes
a were dangerously bright, "told me
nothing. I am capable of drawing
' j my own conclusions from obvious
M signs. . . . And it's no use running
to Mr. Anton this time. He and I
3 have gone into this pretty thor
isooghly." 3 Pauline shrugged and turned
2 away: but after Elsa had gone
out, Constance heard her talking
a with Miss Letts, her favorite
jj saleswoman, in angry whispers.
m
T ATER In the day, Pauline ap-
3 preached Constance.
a "I hear the gray coat was part
of the trousseau, kid," she began,
a and behind her sultry lashes some
a thing avid and cruel lurked. "I
2-suppose you wont be with us
Slong?"
"I'm only standing in for Lu
ellle, you know," Constance re
a plied as evenly as she could,
a It was just at closing time that
g Constance was summoned again
a to display some garments for a
late customer of Miss Letts. When
she went into the show room, she
a found the plump elderly woman
who had Inquired about the gray
J coat that first day at Daimler's.
With her was the man who had
been with her. He was not Con
5 stance thought, in the least like
a
a the type of sleek, super-sophisti-
wated men who most often came to
a(the shop. Yet he showed none of
aithe discomfort of the mere male
jwho finds himself in an utterly
a (feminine setting.
a Constance resented the quietly
a amused curiosity with which he
. amu looking about him. As if this
,'lwere a flea circus, she thought.

(xsed, with a deep line between
j his alert brown eyes, and a fine
aiweb of wrinkles at the comers,
a; The woman was voluble and
2 friendly.
a 'Tm afraid we're keeping you
after hours," she smiled apolo
getically to Constance,
s Miss Letts perhaps reflecting
that she, too, was being kept after
hours, and nothing said about it
s shrugged faintly.
"But I'm going away tomor
row," the lady went on, "and my
a son and I want to select some
things for a young niece who's
stranded in a small town." -:
a "We're always glad to accommo
adate you, Mrs. Rogers," Miss Letts
3 put in effusively. "If Constance is
too tired, we" have other models
o who"
"Oh, but we want her," Mrs.
a Rogers objected; and went on to
Constance, "My son suggested the
raiay we saw you at Daimler's that
tj'ou are about my niece's size and
toloring."
-: Constance displayed several gar
ments, and Mrs. Rogers selected a
rosy hand-knitted frock and a
furred evening wrap.

tVHEN they rose to go, she said
" to Constance, "You do look
tired. I am hurrying off with a
friend for dinner; but my son has
nis car outside, and Mark, why
don't you take this obliging young
lady wherever she wants to go.
. . . Oh, don't look at your watch.
My son," she explained proudly,
"can't forget, even when he's on
vacation, that he's a busy doctor.
. . . You're not rushing off to any
deathbeds this evening, Mark."
A doctor, Constance thought. Of
course it can't be any novelty to
him to see a little lingerie strewn
(bout.
When Constance hesitated. Dr.
fiogers said, arching one eyebrow
at her, "Doctors are notoriously
bad insurance risks, but if you're
willing to take a chance, I'll be
very glad."
I don't think he'd burst into
tears if I refused, Constance
thought wryly. But she was tired,
and she knew that by this time
every car and bus would be
jammed to the doors.
"Thank you," she said. "I'll
hurry."
He was walking up and down
before his car when she went out
Constance almost laughed when
she noticed that he had just re
turned his watch to his pocket.
"This is a record," he an
nounced. "I've never known a
woman to get dressed so quickly."
Constance wanted to ask, "How
many women have you timed?"
But she said instead. "That's part
of my job"; and then in response
to his questioning eyebrows,
"Twenty-two forty Blanchard
street, please. , . . You go out the
Boulevard."
They did not speak again until
they were out of the worst of the
traffic. Then he said, "Do you
know, the other day at Daimler's
I thought the joke was on Mother.
I'd have sworn at first that you
were there for a more frivolous
purpose than modeling gowns."
"I should have supposed," Con
stance suggested, "that to a busy
doctor, modeling might seem the
most useless and frivolous business
possible."
"Useless?" He seemed to con
sider the question. "Maybe. But
aighly decorative. And God knows,
we need all the frivolity and
beauty we can get in this sordid
world. . . . I'm not so sure that a
lot of the women I have to deal
with wouldn't be better off if they
were doing anything half so use
ful." o
SUPERIOR male, hm? Constance
tnougnt. Aloud she said. "I
gather you don't think too highly
of women?"
On the contrary," he said. "I've
often thought 1 women might be
rather good company if you didn't
always have to see them at their
worst." i
"Well, I suppose being physician
to the idle rich must be a disil
lusioning business," Constance
said, wondering if there would be
a letter from Derek waiting for
her at home. '
"You are tired, aren't vou?" he
said in an entirely new tone,
glancing sidewise at her. "If I
were you I'd get to bed as early
as possible. There's nothing like "
"I'm so tired," Constance cut in,
"that if you turn on your best
bedside manner, I'll probably spoil
your vacation by bawling on your
shoulder. . . . That's my house
the third on the right . . . And
thanks a lot."
The first person Constance
talked to when she went back to
the store after the showing in
Chester was Miss Letts.
"Miss O'Dare asked to see you
as soon as you came in," Miss
Letts told her with a furtive satis
faction in her manner that made
Constance vaguely uneasy.
