"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. S-Tr mm nlrloT- than th. A ....... buo iau BUl- (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.

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.
