SYNOPSIS Luxurious to the nth degree of commercial splendor were the establishments of the Anastasia Beauty Salons, but dreary and unkempt were the locker quarters of the operators, who dressed and "made-up" for business in whitewashed, barn-like rooms. In one room, as they rouged their cheeks and donned their fresh, starched white uniforms, the girls talked ... talked chiefly about the Riley sisters, who managed each of the Anastasia Salons, and about Walter Riley, their brother and the owner of the salons. Among the operators was one who stood out from the rest—Helen Schiller One day, before the salon opened for business, Helen was demonstrating some dance steps that she had seen on the stage the night before ~. and Walter Riley appeared. Her dancing was a blow to discipline .. . but he did not make hi* pretence known. Instead he backed away, to enter a little later, banging a door. When he appeared then, al! the girls were at work, and he went on into the office of his sister, Stella, who managed the salon. CHAPTER 111 Miss Kunitz, Stella’s secretary, came in, holding her umbrella carefully, so that it wouldn’t drip on the rug and, seeing Walter, immediately became all manners. “Oh, good morning, Mr. Riley. Dreadful morning, isn’t it? Been waiting long ? Anything I can do ?” "Good morning. No, thanks. I’m waiting for Mr. Masker." “Os course. This is the first of November." She sighed as she ripped the page from her desk calendar.

Walter took a bunch of keys from his sister’s desk and walked out with them. On his way to the steel vault in the bookkeeper’s office, he detoured to look into the salon. The girls were already busy with the early appointments. Miss Irma’s tones at the phone were more dulcet than ever. Whenever he looked at her—at any of the girls, they looked at him coyly. He was half amused, half annoyed. But Walter looked coldly past them. Through the door he caught sight of the Schiller girl. Her head was bent low over a pair of hands. The table lamp’s cold green light made her ash-blond hair gleam like a hale about her face. He could see her smile as her customer chatted. She was swift, smiling, efficient. Perhaps he had better not' mention the dancing. They were all working silently, swiftly. He turned away and got out the books. A few minutes later, Carl Masker, the firm’s accountant, came in and they set to work in Stella’s office checking the bookkeeper’s statement for this branch. Carl Masker, the husband of Agnes Riley, was a quiet, sober young man of twenty-five, three years Walter’s junior (and eight years younger than Agnes Riley, his wife, who managed the Thirtyfourth Street Anastasia). He had an undistinguished face and a rather diffident manner. He did most of the talking, in an eager, ingratiating manner, Walter listening with that dark intensity which was so attractive in him. Their work at Stella’s branch concluded, Walter dropped Carl at Thirty-fourth Street and drove swiftly out to Brooklyn to the Fulton Street Branch, managed by Jerry Leach. Walter was dissatisfied with Jerry and the entire management of the Brooklyn office, but there was so much dissension, so many vicious quarrels among the Riley sisters (excepting Agnes, who, from the worst of the lot had miraculously, through the power of love, become the best) that Walter had decided to ignore the mismanagement of the Brooklyn Salon. He picked up the day’s receipts here, checked up the books and for no particular reason drove back to Forty-fourth Street. He had meant really to go to the Fifty-seventh Street Sglon—his special pride-and pet—but instead he drew up at the Forty-fourth Street building and went up. It was quarter to six. The down elevators were jammed with weary men and women at the end of a dismal, tiresome day. The ascending car was empty. The colored operator regarded Walter with unblinking envy He swung open the door at the fifteenth floor and followed Walter's slim straight figure with admiration. “Boy,” he muttered under his breath. “Ah wish Ah had that baby’s dough!” There was feverish activity in the reception room. Most of the girls were already changing into their street clothes. Miss Norma, at the

counter, was frowning over her sales receipts and 'snapping at all who interrupted her. Now the office staff were the harassed ones, while the operators listlessly covered their tables and chairs and left A few stray customers were getting finishing touches. Walter passed stiffly by the busy office girls into Stella’s deserted office. He stood with his hands in hi* pockets staring through the heavily draped windows out into the dismal wet night below. After a few seconds he turned abrufiUy and went out. Mis* Germuth, the bookkeeper, was snapping rubber bands about mounds of bills.

' 1 cJlk// ypj i £ fiff “I—l saw you dance this morning," he began uncertainly.

“Ready ?” he asked. She gave him a sugary smile. The deep frown between her eyes smoothed out. “Just in time.” “Thanks, ni lock these in the vault. You'll make a deposit first thing tomorrow." "Righto.” She smiled briskly as she rose. “Awful night, isn't it;” He agreed sombeny. He carried the money into the vault in Stella’s office and swung the great lock. Miss Germuth did this every night. He was conscious oi doing something that was not in his regular line of duties. He saw through the back of his head that Mis* Germuth was lingering. “Why doesn’t she go?” he thought crossly. He admitted to himself that he was waiting for someone. That Schiller girl. He was going to tell her kindly but firmly that the Anastasia Beauty Salons were not meant for dancing, even before hours. It wasn't good discipline. She ought to know better. Hadn’t she been there three years? He wouldn’t sound priggish. He'd just warn her, firmly and gently. .. He came out of Stella's office. Miss Germuth, thank God, had finally gone. Over everything lay gray, striped covers. His meticulous eye noted that the Venetian blinds were drawn and fastened and the dark blue shades were pulled down. That was right. Desks and typewriters covered. A few operators were straggling out of the salon into the washroom. He looked in, fear tugging at his breast. No, there she was. She looked pale in the hard, white, night light that the colored cleaning staff switched on after the soft lights were out. She was putting clippers and scissors and files iistleswly into her drawer. He came in guietly. Tho whine of the vacuum in the reception room drowned his footsteps. He was beside her, looking down at her, before she realized his presence. He saw that her face was drawn and white. This morning as she danced she had seemed so young and fresh. “Oh!” she exclaimed, startled.

i me colored maids, cleaning the > cubicles, watched them curiously. ’ “I ... I saw you dance this morni ing,” he began uncertainly. She dimpled. Some of the color ’ flowed back into her face, but she • was not embarrassed. “That’s some of the steps that ■ Marilyn Miller does in ‘Sally,* ” she explained. “I saw the show Saturi day night.” He was amazed. He had expected i her to be flustered. Here he was reproving her and she was un- . abashed — actually conversational. He experienced a tug of anger and ’ yet he was intrigued by her lack of self-consciousness.

On his lips was the reproof he had planned. But there was something so childlike, so friendly, in her wide, gray eyes that he couldn’t say it. The words froze on his lips. He let his gaze travel slowly over her smooth, eager face, down her throat, over her young, fresh virginal body. It was a masculine appraising glance—an absolutely instinctive survey. She flushed a deeper pink. He said finally, lamely, “You dance well.” “Oh, I just love to dance!" “Do you usually dance here in th* salon?” He smiled suddenly and his teeth were very white. She laughed. “Oh, no, I was only showing the girls some of the steps. I like to go to dances to”—she hesitated a fraction of a second—"to places like Clover Gardens and . . . college dances, you know ...” “I see.” There was a small silence. Helen switched off her table light. She was ready to go. “I hope you didn’t mind my dancing this morning. It was early. Nobody was in yet and the girls weren’t busy yet, either,” she explained earnestly. “Oh, no, it’s quite all right. To tell you the truth, I ... enjoyed it.” She smiled engagingly. "Honestly? Do you like to dance, Mr. Riley?” “I don’t know how,” he confessed. “I don’t believe it. You're only fooling.” “Honestly.” “Why, don’t you go to all those swell hotels and dance in the grills and all ?” “I’ve never been in one.” “Honest?” “Honest.” “Why, I thought,” she hesitated. “I thought rich men go every night." She giggled. "I guess rich men are too tired from making money all day to danc* at night.” She had nothing to say to this, so she walked toward the door. He followed her. (To Be Continued) CognKftt.
