W a ls h > It'll help a little, and 1 know what It’s like to be broke, though 1 never had kids on tny bunds besides. Fay me when you can—Miss Murray, Katie Murray Is rfle name." Thrusting the hill Into Nancy's purse the black-clad figure turned and melted Into the background. Silently Nancy made her way out onto the avenue, her eyes so brimful o f tears that she entirely failed to recognize the middle aged woman who suddenly greeted her with un exclama tion o f surprise. "Why, Nancy Keen an, whatever are you doing - so far from Boston?" “ Glenn bad what he thought was a good offer to come west,” answered Nancy. The tears In Nancy’s eyes, the pa thetic droop to her usually smiling mouth, the cracked shoes told the rest o f the story. “ I ’m Just on my way back from California,” said the older woman. “ You must come and tell me all the news over a cup of tea." H alf an hour later over a tea table on which was far more than a cup o f tea, Nancy’s friend was to be heard saying: “ I ’ll rent the scarf for Flora’s wedding— she’s marrying Don next mouth. That will be much better tlmu your selling the scarf, and since you won’t let me loan you anything It will ut least solve the problem for a little while." Ten days later Miss Katie Murray o f the sales stuff o f the house of Jules, Ltd., opened a letter postmarked Bos ton and discovered neatly folded In a wisp o f a point-lace edged handker chief the same crumpled dollar bill she had thrust Into the purse of the shab- by-shoed stranger who had wanted to sell Monsieur Jules the Duchesse wed ding veil. Enviously Miss May eyed the lovely little old square of yellowed lace and linen us she exclaimed: “ Glory, Katie, Jules will give you $25 for that thing any day. You certainly do strike things soft. Tnlk about Irish luck—isn't It the truth thnt the Irish get all the good breaks In the world?" NTERING one of the smartest of the avenue shops, Nancy Keen an was bitterly conscious of Just two things— that her shoes were shabby to the point of showing her neatly darned stockings through the cracks at the sides, while In her purse reposed an heirloom she must sell, and sell promptly. For the Keenan finances were In s distressing state, and since exhaustive as well as exhausting research had convinced Nancy that no pawnshop would advance a loan with even the choicest o f Duchesse lace scarfs as security, nothing seemed left save to sell the beautiful scarf outright for what cash she could g e t Mechanically as Nancy entered the mauve and sliver salon o f Jules, Ltd., a sleek, satin-gowned galesludy rose and advanced to meet her. Mustering a smile, Nancy asked for Monsieur Jules. “ Abroad madame—In Europe till September,” answered the saleslady. ‘Perhaps some one else would do?” ‘T in afraid not," sighed Nancy. “ Ton id®— I want— that Is, I must— sell some very lovely Duchesse lace— a scarL 1 thought Monsieur Jules might buy tor the trousseau o f one of his customers.
