OUR BOARDING HOUSE By Ahern I CHArTKK I T wu brief end Hurried mar rug oeremoo. not at mil the Impoiliii analr Bve Bayless nan dreamed bar wedding would M Jut aha and Olck. at tba Little Ston Church, with tba factor) housekeeper and a fount clTll an (Inear whom Dick knaw for wit oeases. Monday noon and tbt bastllT parformed ceremony wai Ilka an anll-cllmai to tha pa talon ata tcena ot parting Thursday night when Eve bad decided ahe wanted to be Dlck'a wlta with a little Ion of time aa possible. And now, area while aha waa being married to Olck, there waa tba menacing ghoit ot tha mern tng covering between bar and bar happiness. To Era bar wedding waa like a disturbing dream. Would aha gat back to tha atora before Mr. Barnea aent (or her? Would Dick ha angry and storm when aha told him what had happened that ' morning? Or would ba ba burt j and silent? Well, aha wouldn't ; tall him until aha had learned for ' sura this arenlng after dinner. ! No sss to spoil aha afternoon for him. She tried to focus her at tention on tha words that were binding bar to Dick, bnt there vera so manor thoughts that kept : Interfering. ; Now tha earnest young rector waa tiring them his blessing. Dick's ring was oa her Anger, Dick's arms were around her. Dick's Ups, possessive yet very tender, pressed to hers. Era's heart Belted. Ia that moment aha waa almost ready to give up erery thing for Dick. Her work, tha coveted goal almost within reach, tha career aba bad dreamed at through her girlhood these aha wu moved to heap aa lore's altar as a sacrifice. K waa Dick who broke tha spell. Abruptly his arms re leased her. M waa ba who sug gested, almost knuQuely, that they'd hare to hurry or they would he lata to work. a DOT by the time hie roadster bad noaed Its way through tha noonday traffic to the side en trance of Bixby'a department store, where Ere was employed aa a copy writer la the advertising office, Dick's mood had changed again. Bis band closed orer hers. "Ere, sweetheart, don't go back! I don't want my wife out earning her llrlng. Let me take care ot yon, darling. Ton know the kind ot marriage wa talked about last night that's what I want. A little house with a fireplace and a tardea and a baby" "Dick." ahe pleaded, "let me gol Wa can't thresh that out again. At least not here. Not now. Walt for me here this are nlng. I'll try not to be lata, bnt X dont know. Something came np la tha office this morning . something unexpected and ter ribly important. I'll tell you about It this arenlng. 'Bye, dearest." Era consulted her watch when, aha reached the third floor. She had just fire minutes to change from the brown ensemble which was her wedding costume Into her smart but simple black office dress. Tha change was accom plished In the allotted time and tba brown costume and the cor sage of creamy, fragrant rosebuds with tawny orchids that Dick had sent, put away in her locker. Thank goodness none of the girls whom she knew at Bixby'a had spied that corsage! They could scent a wedding months away. 8he slipped off her wedding ring, the little circlet of pale yel low gold engrared with orange blossoma which she bad chosen instead of platinum because It matched the golden lights in her amber eyes and honey-colored hair and harmonized with tha October browns and yellows that were her farorite colors. She put the ring la the chamois enrelope which guarded her money and trinkets. Era had told no one at Blxby's that she was to be mar ried today. She would not tell them for a while not until she was certain she wished them to know. Oh, she should hara waited until June to be married, she told herself unhappily aa she went Into tha office. If only they could hare been married Saturday la stead ot today, it would hare helped the situation some. But the state law bad been changed and a three-day notice was re quired before a marriage license could be Issued. Sbe knew she should not be thinking about all this now. She must keep her nerves steady and her mind clear for that conference with Mr. 1' two o'clfV She hoped, yet feared, the outcome ot that conference. pVB was relieved to find there was no one in the adrertis lng office except Marya Vlad. the fashion artist, who waa working at ber drawing board in a corner by the window Perhaps Marya was not so oblivious to what went on about her as she seemed. Per haps ber candid blue eyes were more penetrating then ber fellow workers realized, but at any rata he was too courteous aod con siderate to ask questions that might prora unwelcome. Sha merely looked up and smiled aa Era entered. "Did any one ask for me?" Marya knew of tha conference with Mr. Barnes, scheduled tor two o'clock. "No one. How lovely yon look todny. Ere." 'Oh, I'm glad you think sol I iiave a special reason for want ing to look well today." "Is that soT" echoed a voice In gay raillery and Arlena Smith, Earle Barnes' atenographer, en tered the office, only a few atepe behind Eva. "Don't tell ua you are turning to such tactics to land a promotion." Arlena went on. "Not after tha way I've be i orag glng to my family about tha high mindedness and all-around supe riority ot this office force!" "Goodness, no!" laughej Bra. "Tha promotion. If any, hasn't a thing to do with my wish. I lust cams In from a data with a rery special man. He's tha marked victim ot my fatal charm not Mr. Barnes, nor yet Mr. Blxby." "Oh, I know," said Arlena. "The strong, silent one who parka that yellow roadster at tha aide entrance at quitting Urns about five areninga a weak. Listen, dearie, any time yoa get a chance to pasa np this madhouse In ex change for a permanent seat ta that roadster and the privilege ot operating a kltcbenet and can opener for that young maa you'd better grab oft tha prise." "Sometimes I really belter yoa prefer domesticity to a business career," Ere said. "Just watch me help myself to tha first chance at sweet domes ticity that cornea my way," waa Arlene'a torrent reply. "I'm tally as domestic as Marya, here, and twice as domestic aa yoa. Era. But do tha man see that? They do not! I'm all right to play around with but when they be gin to shop around tor aa engage ment ring they hare some sweet young thing Uke yoa or Marya In mind." fSro lauched uneasily and slipped a fresh sheet ot paper Into her typewriter. Tha eon reraatioa waa oa daugeroua ground. It had been on the tip ot her tongue a moment ago to tall Arlena and Marya about tba wedding that noon In tha Little Stone Church, bat aha waa aot yet ready tor that disclosure. Too many things ware crowding them selves into this day. a THE second ot tha most Impor tant events ot Eve's Ufa waa to take place within two hours after her wedding. Two sharp sounds ot the busier summoned ber to the office ot Earla Barnea, advertising manager of Bixby'a. Although her work took her to Barnes' office many times each day. Era felt ha If -sick with trepi dation this time. She trembled Involuntarily, and her head throbbed with a dull ache. Tet sha strove to maintain an appear ance at outward calm. A swift glance In tha wavy old mirror hanging orer tha wasbstand In tha corner reassured her, and tha group gathered about Barnes desk tittle suspected that tha lorely, flushed face and eager bright eyea ot the girl joining them masked real fright. Eve's chin was held high, however, and sha ma&aged a emile aa ahe ac knowledged tha salutatory nod ot white-haired Mr. Blxby, founder and owner ot the store. So much depended upon the outcome of this conference. Barnea drew up a chair for Ere, next to Alice Marshall, who waa first assistant adrertislng man ager. Mr. Blxby brought from hla rest pocket a pair ot Oxford glasses which he unfolded and ad justed on his dignified nose. "Tha better to sea you, my dear," thought Ere, and ahe felt that with tha aid of those powerful lenses he eonld pierce through to her innermost thoughts and discover her secret. "Miss Bayless," he began with customary dignity, "you are un doubtedly aware that it la tha policy ot the Blxby atora to watch carefully the progress of each of its employees. From the time yoa joined ua we bare noted with sat isfaction your spirit toward your work, your co-operation and your Initlatire. Mr. Blxby amoothed the narrow black ribbon attached to his glasses before ha went on. "Miss Marshall Is tearing us, as you, of course, know. And It becomes necessary for ua to choose a successor to fill her posi tion. Mr. Barnea and I discussed the matter ot the New York trip after my talk with yon this morn ing. Miss Bayless, and It hss been definitely decided that you are ta go." "Oh how Dice!" Bra managed to articulate. "It will give added Interest and Importance to tha launching of your special column and ought to give you talking points for many weeks to come. Women read de partment store advertising pri marily tor tha purpose ot learn ing of bargains and new merchan dise. 1're always cootended, bowerer, that in addition adver tising should be chstty and inter esting In itself. Well, we're counting on yon to make Blxby's advertising chatty and Interest ing. "r'int ' is cbuue may lecrl "o eventually depends largely upon yourself tha selling power of your copy, your Initlatire and the ability you display in other ways." "Thank you. I'll do my very best," Eve promised. "Do you did you definitely decide that I'm U go 'onlghtT I could go a Mills later just aa well." Eve waa pray ing In her heart, "Not tonight. Dear God. don't let It be tonight!"
