"I ha vent been here two hours! Cant I escape from myself for a little while?" She smiled at Terry. "Occa sion ally rve been told there's a flee ting resemblance between my self and Carole Lombard. Maybe you've seen her at one of those hotels." . "You look about as much like Lombard as I do," said Terry. But be seemed to dismiss the sub ject, sfter that, and Beatrice breathed more easily. - Vera elected to go with him and help develop the films. "She can, too," Toby explained arhen they had gone. "Since she's known him, she's become prac tically educated." She turned on the radio and yawned. "As for me, rm drooping. Knocked out. rra goinf to bed." It was scarcely tM. but she wound up the alarm clock with determination. I need my sleep, mo I can go in there tomorrow smd slug away with vim. vigor, and vitality for good old Hunting ton's. And maybe, just maybe, I can make my quota tomorrow." . -Quota?" "A cute little Idea department tores dream up. You've got to ell a certain amount of stuff to justify your salary. In the base ment accessories it's only $108 a day. Simple! If you slug the customers." Toby sat on the bed, took oft tier shoes. "Don't give it a thought Huntington's will teach you." She peeled off her stock in. I've got to wash these. The only pair I own." "Obi ni have to wash mine, too." Beatrice had the strangest feel ing of having slipped through a mist, like Alice through the look ing glass. She was now on the ieveise side of things the side of existence where you had to wash the dishes after you ate; and your stockings, so they'd be clean in the morning. . Mercifully, Toby did not stand ever her, talking, as she struggled with the stockings. Toby was spreading sheets on the studio couch and rummaging in bureau drawers to find a pair of pajamas Ut to lend. Beatrice felt triumphant as she (hung her wet, limp stockings on (the towel rack beside Toby's. "There! I'm not so useless, after Nil She thought again of that hate- tful voice in Mr. Curtis Weeming's iofBee and frowned. The day I (walk in and drag that beast's name from old Weemie will be the happiest day ot my life!" A HD then she remembered Clar- her at the apartment Well, thai didnt matter. Often she was out and no one knew where she was. But how about tomorrow? What would the maids think, when she didnt appear day after day? Sud denly, a thing she hadnt thought kit before hit her with all the force of disaster. They'd notify Weeming! "Miss 'Davenport hasnt been home for several days." All at once she realized the stir it would make. Clarence would be wild, search ing for her. Once he had asked her about kidnaping. "In Europe," he said, "we always understood that American heiresses were in constant danger of being kidnaped If or ransom." Suppose they thought she was kidnaped? Shivers of apprehension went up and down her spine. What an idiot! Not to have thought of that sooner! Beatrice Davenport kouldn't simply disappear into thin air. mere a be consternation, tur moil, private detectives, all man ner of carryings on! What could she do? It only she'd been going away on a trip and then simply not boarded the boat or train! Or if she'd come back from Florida without notifv- ung Weeming that she was back. "I ll telephone Mr. Weeming. TO say I've decided to go to to South America. I'll say I'm leav ing immediately, don't know when I'll come back." Yes, that was It She could easily get information or. sailing fnaws, uie name or. some ship. I Eit phone Clarence, though, en he begins to wonder, he'U m enough to get hold of IWeemle. Weemie will tell him U ve gone to South America." bShe felt distinctly relieved when tat was settled. Toby called eepily, "Is your bed all right?" , "It's fine, thank you," Beatrice Isaid, snapping off the light "Good night" e TJEATRICE had not been sleep ing more than a few minutes. at seemea, wnen ropy was ahak- ting her. "Heavens, are you one of those people who never hear alarm clocks? net s move on! Well be late!" It was 7:18. Beatrice rubbed her heavy eyes. Dawn was a good time to wind up a party, but the thought of crawling out of bed now made her IU. For a dizzy moment, too, she wasn't fully awake and couldn't remember where she was. 'Do you want job. or dont ryou7 demanded Toby callously. She was completely dressed, the tat half-moon curl on the back copvutsHr. teat. nk. Slavics. INC lipstick bright "You've got 10 minutes or I leave without you." It all came back to Beatrice She jumped out of bed, one bare foot automatically feeling for tne mules that were always placed beside her bed. They weren't there, ot course. She ran to the bathroom, the floor shockingly cold against the soles of her feet When she emerged, Toby had a cup of black coffee for her. "That's all. Vers finished the cake last night." "It's all I want" They raced for the subway. On the platform, Toby separated her paper. "Read the want ads. Maybe Huntington's wont hire you." The ads were bewildering. "Bookkeeper, must have NCR experience." "Buyer, children's wash dresses.1 "Cashier for movie house, must be attractive." At Times Square, the train dis gorged its load ot humanity. Like a bewildered sheep, Beatrice clung; to Toby. The early morning sun light of 42d street was bleak and cold and unfamiliar. The two girls walked rapidly in the stream of people, "like cattle." Beatrice thought, to Sixth avenue. a a a AT the employes entrance And T .- an .v..!-. -- realized there was an employes' entrance!" Toby squeezed her hand. "I go this way. You go up those stairs, the personnel office is on the balcony. Remember, be dignified and refined and say you've always loved retailing. It's your ambition, you re crazy about it you want to learn even though you've had no experience. For heaven's sake, look her in the eye and be so damned poised it hurts." Beatrice braced herself. At the open door which bore the letters. 'Personnel Office, she pinned a smile on her lips. They couldn't 1 possibly recognise her, the very thought was fantastic. To this brisk, sharp-eyed woman behind the desk she was only one ot hun dreds ot applicants. She walked up to the desk. "I'm applying for a sales posi tion," she said levelly.
