I’LUXURY

CHAPTER XXXV "Is pack and leave tonight. I wouldn't stay here another minute,” Luana assured them. Yvonne flounced out of the apartment to permit this resolution to be put into effect. Armand followed her, to appease her and lie to her, as often he had lied before. Yvonne shrieked over her shoulder at Luana: "Before you go, you will geev me thirty dollars for your half of thees month's rent, since you geev notice now, without warning! If you do not geev it to me, I call the po'leesl I have you ar-rested!” She stood out on the landing, making such a noise that other tenants of the building appeared. Finally, the landlord came up. The month’s rent, to be paid in advance, had been due yesterday. Having been let down before by departing tenants, the landlord backed Yvonne in her demand. To the latter’s annoyance, he pocketed Luana’s money. To Yvonne’s annoyance because, though Luana did not know it. Luana had paid the entire unfurnished rental of the apartment, which was S3O, not S6O. The scene over, and everyone gone, Luana packed her few belongings in haste. She took Chou-Chou with her. She drove to the cheap hotel where she had passed her first days in New York. She now had but ten dollars in her pocket. Next morning at the shop, she was summoned to the private office of Mr. Quackenbush at half past ten. He did not ask her to sit down. He glared through his glasses at her, and to her amazement she saw that he had before him on his desk some of her first rough drafts of original designs for gowns. “Look at these,” he boomed, "and be thankful from the bottom of your heart that I don’t have you arrested!” Had he gone mad? “Why—why—haven’t I a right to draw in my spare time, Mr. Quackenbush? Why, I did these one day in my lunch hour—” “When no one saw you—or you thought that no one saw you.” He tapped the papers. “You don’t dare deny that these are copies of my originals?” “I do deny it.” Luana flushed to her ears. To his mind, that flush was proof positive of her guilt. For several weeks, there had been a “leakage” from tbe shop, his very best models having been “repeated'’ outside. “Why does Mrs. Vandavcer no longer come here to buy dresses?" His voice was one booming accusation. “Why do you go to her home, and see her? What takes you there? Answer me that.” “I—l’m a friend of theirs—they —they were kind to me in my illness." “Kind because it paid her to be kind, maybe. But we will leave that alone We will make no accusations there. She was a wonderful customer, and now I know she is no longer a wonderful customer. I can draw my own conclusions, but I say nothing. I see those copies of my originals, drawn by you—admittedly drawn by you—and know there is a leakage from the House of Quackenbush. The gowns are being repeated up and down Broadway.” His voice rose. He banged the desk in front of him. “Please call Mrs. Vandaveer in my presence, and she will refute what you have accused me of," said Luana, trembling. “It is not my custom to accuse customers, nor is it my custom to take orders from employees,” he replied slowly, with deadly effect. “Apart from the rights or wrongs of the style stealing, I have further proof of your unsuitability to remain here. Miss Waters.” He held up a newspaper clipping. “You entered this house on false pretenses." Luana took the half sheet of paper that was headed: “Hollywood Citizen News.” A picture of Gerald and herself stared at her above the appalling caption . . . “Notorious Crook Gets Ten Year Stretch at San Quentin for Swindling.” "You cannot deny that you are married to him—that you unlawfully entered yourself as a contestant in the Models’ Competition that was open only to single girls?” She stammered: "My stepfather has had it annulled since then—” “That doesn’t alter the fact that you deceived us, that you are not a reliable person. Miss Waters. Why, even your name is an assumed one. And your connection with this i criminal is not a recommendation.” She could not deny it She could only stand there, white-faced and stunned. • "I no longer wish you to remain in my establishment. The cashier will give you two weeks’ wagea.” He rose, dismissing her.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY, MARCH <3, 193/.

I House minority leader James Knapp Hagerstown, praised Democrat Coy on the house floor and with one ex- ■ ception gleefully voted for the Bak- • er ouster. ' No less anxious to maintain a ’ semblance of cleaning house, Dem-

Yvonne had done a thorough t JoK . , . # "But of course you will stay with usl I absolutely insist that you stay ' with ual" said Lorraine Vandaveer • in her charming, well-bred voice. 1 She had met Luana on Fifth Ave--1 nue a week after her dismissal 1 from the House of Quackenbush. ’ and had been struck by her look of ; exhaustion. They were standing outside a teashop and Lorraine drew her inside. "Now, not another word until you’ve had a hot cup of tea and a nice fat English muffin!” Lorraine had her kind momenta. Thia was i one of them. They sat at a corner table overlooking the Avenue. It was nearly five. She had been going to a cocktail party, but now it behooved her to play the Good Samaritan. In any case, she had wanted to see Luana about her costume for the Charity Pageant in Madison Square Garden. It had been made for her at a theatrical costumer’s, and there was something wrong with it. Luana was extremely clever with suggestions. “So that fiend fired you, did he? I’ll give him a piece of my mind 1 To thing the money I’ve spent in his wretched shop, and the appalling prices he charges, and now he dares to fire the girl I recommended him!” “Please don't say anything to him, for it wouldn’t do a bit of good,” Luana begged. To have Mrs. Vandaveer know of her unfortunate marriage and its annulment was something she couldn’t endure to think about “But why, Luana? Why? What reason did he give?” “Yvonne, the French girl in the sports department, made a lot of trouble. I roomed with her, and she got jealous about Armand, her sweetheart” “That greasy-faced cat! I never could endure either of them. But” —inquisitively—“Quacky wouldn’t make you leave because Armand was making passes at you. He knows his little Armand. Maybe he was making passes at you himself? Was that it?” “Oh, no.” Luana gave a faint smile. It would not be easy to tell Mrs. Vandaveer that she herself had been suspected of complicity in accepting sketches of the advance styles from the couturier’e — that ' Mr. Quackenbush had jumped to I that conclusion because Lorraine i came so seldom to the shop of late. 1 “You know,” said Luana slowly, weighing her words, "that it’s my 1 ambition to become a dress-designer. | A model’s career is a blind alley, anyhow—” ; "Unless it leads to a good mar- : riage.” Mrs. Vandaveer interrupted her. She watched the girl sharply, wondering how much involved she was with the Randolph young man. "I was making sketches out of ' my head, in my spare time at the shop as well as at home, and Mr. : Quackenbush got hold of them, and : was so unjust and angry that he simply wouldn’t listen when I assured him they were entirely of my own invention.” “Probably ho thought you were selling them to the customers? The old sinner!” Luana sipped her tea and stared moodily out of the window at the passing throng upon the Avenue. For a moment Lorraine wondered if "Quacky” had been right in his conjectures? Were she a poor and struggling girl, who knows but what she wouldn’t grab at anything that came to hand to make money? If everything was fair in love (as Lorraine believed) the axiom applied to other matters. ... The only crime was in being found out. But a second look at Luana convinced her that the girl was speaking the truth about the sketches. “Look here. I’ll phone Quacky now. I’ll put this thing straight." "Please don’t.” Luana put a hand on her arm as she half rose from the tea-table. "He’d know I’d told you about it.” “Why should he know? Couldn’t I hear from any of the other customers that you were no longer with him? Good heavens, Luana, you were his best model! Everyone said so. He can’t get away with this injustice.” “He’d know I told you, because at the time I asked him to telephone you.” This with reluctance. “You wanted me to tell him he was wrong about your sketches bei ing copies of his dresses? But I’d never ever, seen any of the sketches, Luana! Great heavens! Did he 1 think”—light dawned on her—“did he presume to think I was bribing i you to tip me off to the advance ■ models, so I wouldn’t have to pay ' his prices? Was that it?” “Something of the sort. Only he

backed down on it when I challenged him.” “I insist on knowing what was said.” Luana looked worried. She had burned her boats now. Mrs. Vandaveer would find out everything. She was a born prober. “Ha said you’d been a wonderful customer, and were no longer a wonderful customer, and that he could draw his own conclusions. Mrs. Vandaveer rose up in wrath. “Leave it to me to give him a piece of my mind and make his ears num. i’ll threaten him with a lawyer’s letter. I'll fry him in his own grease ~. boil him in al) his oil I ’ She went straight to the telephone booth and called up the shop. Five minutes later she returned to a distressed Luana, beaming with the knowledge of a job well done. “He literally crawled, Luana! You never heard such a stream of apologies and explanations. But I turned a deaf ear to them. I gave him an earful. He grovelled, Luana. Simply grovelled 1” She lit a cigarette and ordered two glasses of wine. “That’U buck us up, my dear. By the way”—flicking off the ash with an airy gesture—“if you want to Eback to Quackenbush’s, I can ve you reinstated? He as good as said so.” “Oh no, I couldn’t possibly go back. It would be made so terribly uncomfortable for me. I should be suspected. Some of the mud would stick.” This applied to the whole highclass dressmaking trade in New York, as she had painfully discovered during her week's search for work. Well-known as she was, the , couturier! were afraid to employ Luana. In a game of “dog-eat-dog” she had been labeled a style pirate, a bootlegger of dress design! They figured that Mr. Quacken- I bush would never have dismissed his best model had she not been definitely proved untrustworthy. A dangerous employee, in fact “What salary did Quacky pay you?” Mrs. Vandaveer asked. “We were engaged at sixty a week—the winners in the Fashion Show, you remember—but the first week we were cut to fifty, and a couple of weeks later Mr. Quacken- | bush told us that, because of tha depression, we’d have to get along on thirty-five till better times.” “The old Shylock! His prize boast is that he never felt the depression, and I believe him!” Mrs. Vandaveer paid the check, gathered her gloves, her sable scarf and her gold mesh bag, and rose. “You come right home with me, Luana. We’ll figure out something for you. Don’t worry." (Luana would be very useful, in more ways than one.) “I’ll send Odette, my maid, round to your hotel to pack your things and settle your bill for you. Joel and I have a duty to you since your illness. No arguments now.” She drew her to the sidewalk and hailed a taxicab. They got inside. The cab swung round on Fifth Avenue and shot up to 48th Street, turning to the right across Madison Avenue into Park. Mr. Vandaveer was home. He welcomed Luana cordially. He had a fatherly interest in the girl. During dinner. Lorraine had a bright idea. “Look here, Luana, why don't you make some original sketches for gowns to be worn at the Charity Carnival in Madison Square Garden? They’ve swung round from their first plan of an Italian Pageant to a parade that’s to be entitled: ‘The American Woman of The theatrical costumers and others seem void of ideas that far hence in costuming. Half the women I know have gone haywire about their dresses. Why don’t you step in?” Luana’s tired eyes brightened. “I’d see that some of your sketches would be printed in the newspapers, and that you’d get I plenty of good publicity,” continued the self-styled benefactress, desirous of not only making a good impression on Luana, but on Joel as well. A scheme was brewing that would need lots of diplomatic action. “No matter what Quacky may say, the women who originally voted for you would stand by you. You’ve a grand following. Why lose it? Why not grab at this chance of getting even with Quacky?” Luana flushed. “I've no thoughts of getting even.” “But you’ve got ambition?” “Certainly I have. I’d love to design gowns for the Pageant, if i you think anyone would use them.” I (To Be Continued) Opyrt<ht. 1Z35. King Fmlutm ByndicaU. Im.
