The other models had already left "Lynda Martin wants an eve ning gown, Marie." He eyed her critically. This waa her first week In hia atore, "Slip on that red aatin." . Fashionable New York, respect- mmm ana uuiri wise, nocicea 10 Vamet'a alltterlna 87th Street ane. , clalty ahop. He waa exactly what you'd expect the town's highest priced dressmaker to be. A dreadful snob, only by a halr'a breadth did he escape being ridic- - ulous. Like hia waxen show win dow dummies,- ha waa always faultlessly attired. Tonight, hia cafe au lalt shirt furnished dis creet contrast to his burnt sugar brown worsted suit. His brown hair was sleeked down till it shone, and his small regular fea tures, precisely Disced in his rouna race, regurerea sauatactioa. Lynda Martin had money. "Vnll -a .1 un 1-.- - K- vw u .vf. ... m ujvjiu lng If you work this evening," he told Marie, rubbing his hands to gether as he pattered softly off down the velvet-carpeted haU. "It doesn't matter," she called. "I'd just aa soon be her as home." All afternoon long she had been depressed over the idea of return ing to the South Street barge where aha lived. Why did her father want to stay on the boat anyway? ah asked herself. With the barges he' owned he had money enough to live ashore. Mow that ah was (rowing up why couldnt she have real horn like ether girls? She'd heard her mother nag her father often' enough about it Her whole soul was In revolt as she moodily dropped her hat on a chair and began undoing her dress. She wished she might be stepping ui vonignt in ui scarlet gown she putting on: to the Stork Club. or TH Morocco, perhaps, with torn nanasom ana exciting boy. Tommy Ryan could never afford to tax her. Besides, he had to run his truck. When you'r bead of a one-man business you can't leav it, he always told her. She re proached herself. What a disloyal girl she was, not even married to Tommy yet and already wishing aha was going out with another eoy. weu, never mind, some day he'd own a whole fleet of trucks. She wondered if her father would have any objections to him then. OH walked slowly out to the show room. Another minute and sh was parading back and forth in front of Lynda Martin, the flaming red evening gown wrap ping Its scarlet length about her slim body. " The eyes of tha two girls met and clashed. Ther was curiosity in Marie's dark ones. It was the first time ah had seen th debu tante whose picture had been on so many society and rotogravure pages. Just IT, Lynda was th only child of Jsmes Martin, the newly rich grocery chain store head. Her mother was dead. She lived a life of hectic gaiety. This much Marie knew. Sh recalled that she. was supposed to b engaged to Dan Donovan, whose father was also rich. "Lynda's pretty," Marie thought "But what a discontented face! With all that money and yet sh doesn't look as if she had a good time." Lynda thought, "She may be beautiful, but what a life, always showing off clothes you never get a chance to wear." Varnet took credit for discover ing Marie's beauty, but it was really John Powers, head of the agency which supplied Varnet with models, who had picked her. A few pointers on how to walk and how to show off clothes and Marie was wearing a $22.50 Seventh Avenue special so that it looked like a $225 Paris original Her hair waa blue black and her eyes liquid velvet She had a love ly skin, very whit and red. Gracefully, she circled before Lynda Martin. Pirouetting slowly, to show the lines of the dress, her icarlet-clsd figure mirrored itself In the amber glass side walls of tha salon. Varnet strolled casually across Bie white plush covered floor. "I'm 10 sorry our saleswomen have left tor the day," he apologized. Lynda raised a petulant face. "I didn't know till this afternoon that I was going to the particular din ner I want this dress for. But I ean't wear red. Imagine that shade with my yellow hair!" j "Of course not" Varnet drew up a chair beside her. "This shade is only for our talon. I see you in a mysterious, provocative, filmy Mack. Then the dress will justify Hs name, 'Adventure.' There's Just enough of the little girl in it for you. Your youth, your beauty" Lynda's blue eyes widened. "Why that's Just what Dsn Dono van said he was always looking for and never finding adventure. He's going with m to this psrty." Abruptly conscious of Marie, sh became more formal. "I'll take th dress, but I must have it by th end of th week." Sh glanced at her watch. "Oh, dear, I'm late. It'a after 7." Sh got up hastily. "You hav my measurements, Varnet When do I com for fitting?" Beaming, h helped her into her eoat "Tomorrow afternoon. I'm to happy to ae you hav decided on thia modal, It'a your gown, ab olutsir... . - Marie, standing rebelllously by, watched Lynda aa Varnet led her to the elevator. The girl's delicate features, th arrogant shortness of her upper lip and her smooth, honey yellow hair, irritated her. "I forgot to ask you how much that dress was, Varnet" Lynda's assured tone floated back to Marie. Thre hundred? All right, tend th bill to father." a a A CHILLY March wind was blowing through 57th Street when Marie left the shop at 7:30. Bracing herself against it she hurried toward the subway. The downtown trains had only a scat tering of passengers. South Ferry, the station where she got off, was even more deserted. But she lost her earlier resentment when she breathed the fresh, salty air from the bay. Eagerly she faced South Street Once back In tha familiar sur roundings of the canal boat neigh borhood, she was at home. She had played here as a child. Sh knew th stores, the warehouses and the people. Through the mist sh could see Pier C's arc light Barely distinguishable was the Molly, the La Porte family barge, beyond it Trucks, looming large In the fog, rattled past her. A sailor, lounging in the door of a saloon, stirred lazily. The ahip's bell on the Seamen's Institute struck 8 o'clock. From the river came the muffled whistles of boats, groping through th fog. Suddenly, angry shouts filled th air. Marie drew into the protect ing shadow of a silent warehouse aa a man darted out from Pier 6 and ran down South Street toward her. Breathing hard, he stopped beneath the corner light He was young and broad shouldered. There waa blood on his nose. Hs pulled out a bandana handker chief and wiped It off, then pushed nls rap back and mopped hia tore-head. "Why, Tommy Ryanl" Marie de manded aharply, "what in Heav en's name are you running from?" -'Your old man," he said sullen ly. "Th truckmen and the bargo-' men have just had another tight" (To Be Continued) ' News and Herald Want-Ada gat reeuita. Goes to Finland as War Observer - - V Ik JK 3m Capt Robert M. Losey." U. S.
