Paul Varnet iturk hit' head In the

"Lynda Martin wants an eve

critically. This waa her first week

, 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.

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

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 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"
