"I dont think you silly at all.

Tell me."
He laughed cmbarrassedly.
"Underwear shorts and shirts

what you mean. Just knowing
that we have a lew nice things

round."
"Right," ha laughed.
They walked home through the
' velvet dark. Ann' declined an oi
ler of soda at the drug store. "Left
: save lor the big night," she said
When Paul left her with a friendly
good night she went happily up the
stairs. No money, but a delight
ful lew hours had been spent

()N Friday evening of that week
Steve Clay bourne waited In
the foyer again. Ann, with net
arms filled with packages, came
hurrying from the elevator. She
was going straight to the Center.
An evening gown was under con
struction and her excitement knew
no bounds. She would have passed
Steve without seeing him had he
not hailed her.
"Speak to me," he commanded
"Must I hang around this musty
place for an hour and then be
anubbed?" '
She laughed. Tm sorry. Steve.
My mind was ten miles west."
"Bring It back and put It firmly
on me."
She described an are with her
hand. "Here It comes. Look out.'

"Not yet"
"Come with me."
"I'm in a dreadful rush, Steve."
"Cant you spare an hour for an

"Not an hour." She thought a
moment "Tell you what 1 11 do.
til eat a sandwich with you in the
randy kitchen Here."
He grimaced. He argued. They
. ended up In a booth in the candy
' kitchen. He ordered chicken sand
wiches and coffee and French pas
try.
' "What's the rush?" he Inquired.
"I'm making a dress."
"Making a dress," he repeated in
an astounded tone. . "I thought
. they grew in windows."
"Mine dont"

coffee sloshed over In her saucer
and Steve sent it back. He was
quite lordly with the waiter and
; got exactly nowhere with his tac
tics.
"Some dive,"- he muttered.
"Nice food." Ann returned.
"I bad a reason for seeing you
lotugnt, He said. "The Athens
Club is pulling a party next
Wednesday night I'm taking you.
thought you might be Interested."
Steve had been much amused
by his decision to take the little
working girl to the Athens Club
dance. It was his idea of a lark
to appear with a nobody and
put the nobody over. The Athens
parties were attended by a mixed
crowd, ex-football stars, lawyers,
filling station service men, busi
ness executives and their clerks,
When . Steve received the an
nouncement of the ball, It had oc
. curred to him that Ann would be
much impressed, that she would
think he was really taking her
somewhere, that she was meeting
society.
"I'm sorry," she said. Tve al
ready accepted an invitation to the
Athens Club party."
Steve suffered a severe shock.
"Look," he said, "you don't have
to lie to me. If you haven't got
the clothes to wear I'll see that you
get tnem."
"Thank you. I buy my own
clothes."
"Say Is this on the level are
you going to the hop?"
"Yes. Will you call the waiter
. and ask for another saucer of col
fee?" Steve insisted on driving her to
the Center. He promised to keep
well within the law. He offered
to return lor her at any stated
hour. She declined, explaining
that creative zeal might keep her
there indefinitely, that the dawn
might find her still bent over the
sewing machine.
a
CHE went to the sewing room
and instantly forgot Steve.
Making an evening gown, an eve
ning gown that would pass muster
at the Athens Club party, one that
would make Paul proud, was an
absorbing task. Ann unfolded the
material breathlessly. It was
white, a shimmering gold thread
woven in and out through the
length. At irregular intervals the
pattern showed a slight inclination
to veer off. The delect was only

noticeable when the light shone
across it in a certain way. It had
been enough ol a defect, however,
to banish it from the place of fine
fabrics and Ann had picked it up
for practically nothing at a base
ment counter. Ignoring the va
garies of the design, she gloried in
the richness of the material. Her
cheeks grew rosy as she cut and
sewed and fitted the lovely tiling
to her more lovely lines.
"I'm going to be $4 short on my
budget" she thought "but 1 don't
care. Just this once, I don't care."
She made a little slip of ray
It had the sheen ol taffeta. She
bought gold slippers that had once

A,A in an uproar on the night of
the party. The twins showed Ann
the latest dance steps, Clara of
fered her array ol 10-cent-store
bangles. Florabelle came across
the hall with a black moire eve
ning wrap. Myrtle stood against
the wall in awed silence.
Ann had washed her own hair
and set the natural wave. It was
toft and lustrous. It hung loosely,
the curls swung when she moved
her head. She had manicured her
own nails and painted them with
shell pink. When she slid the
white and gold dress over her
head and let the folds fall around
the gold slippers, she had her first
taste ol real bliss.
The gown was a masterpiece of
artistry. It was plain Clara
thought It much too plain it had
long, lovely body lines. Ann's
back and shoulders were flawless,
her bare arms would have made
a sculptor sigh with delight Her
