SYNOPSIS Don Ames, publicity agent for the Bloom-of-YouthCosmetic Company, comes to Carterton, Louisiana, in search of “Pearl Carter," whom hi believes the original of the prize-winning photograph entered in a nationwide beauty contest sponsored by his firm. Young Clyde Dixon, proprietor of the town service station, directs Ames to Rosemead, the dilapidated Carter mansion. There he finds Pearl Carter to be a plump blonde, sec>nd wife of ineffectual Wakefield Carter and stepmother of lovely eighteen-year-old Lucy Lee Carter, whose picture had actually won the contest and a thousand dollars in cash. CHAPTER 111 “You mean somebody substituted your picture for hers?” asked Mr. Ames. “I get you. That clears the whole matter up. The letter which came with it was signed ‘Pearl Carter’, so we naturally supposed it was the entrant’s name. Very simple.” He turned to Pearl with a smile of admiration. "Os course anyone can see this young lady is mueh too grown-up to be your daughter. Mrs. Carter. Why, you must be almost of an age.” Look at her lapping it up, he thought. You can’t lay it on too thick for dames like this. They beg for more. “Oh, Mr. Ames,” Pearl fluttered. "Really?" “No fooling,” he declared with every appearance of complete conviction. Then he turned to Lucy Lee as she stood in the doorway, still gravely regarding him with those velvety dark eyes. “Lucy Lee,” her stepmother said sharply. “You go and fetch Juddy here! I want to talk to him. And don’t you come back saying you couldn’t find him, either. That trick . won’t work this time. He has got to ' be taught a lesson. I’m sick and tired of his silly pranks.” “Yes, ma’am. But Juddy didn’t mean any harm. I know he didn’t. Please don’t make Daddy Carter punish him. Pearl.” Lucy Lee slipped away and Pearl motioned to a chair whose frail appearance caused the visitor to sit on it with extreme care. The glance which she turned upon him was shrewd and calculating. However susceptible to flattery she might be there was a core of hardness to Pearl Carter. “Let’s get this straight, Mr. Ames,” she said. "As I understand it Lucy Lee’s photograph, no matter how it got into the contest, has won a thousand-dollar prize. When do we get the money?” He laughed. "Well, I’ve got to hand it to you, Mrs. Carter. You come right to Hie point, don’t you? The thousand dollars will be given to the winner or her legal guardians if she is still under age—” "Lucy Lee won’t be eighteen for several months yet,” Pearl broke in. “That’s about how old I figured her to be. And if you don’t mind my saying it, Mrs. Carter, I think she's got everything! The minute I laid eyes on her I had a rush of adjectives to the head. Skin like magnolia petals . . . delicately modelled face framed by coppery bronze hair in shimmering waves . . . and the kind of a figure artists rave over." He sprang to his feet and moved excitedly around. “Why, I can just see the copy I’ll send out about the girl when we get tear publicity go-

ing. ‘Virginal!’ That's a good word,l and it describes her exactly. There’s ' something about her—yes, I guess ‘virginal’ is the word, if you know what I mean.” “Oh, I know what you mean, all right,” Pearl responded dryly. “She’s young —and doesn’t know much about life.” “That’s exactly it, Mrs. Carter. You see, her kind of looks is like an undeveloped gold mine. This old world wants beauty just the same as it wants pork and beans. There’s a very definite market for it; but like every other market it has to be

promoted. Which is where 1 come in. Publicity! You leave it to Don Ames,” he told her enthusiastically. “I’m just starting. This Beauty Contest gag is only the beginning. Old stuff, maybe, but they always fall for it. Why say, over twenty thousand photographs came in—believe it or not!” “Mercy gracious! I had no idea Twenty thousand! And you picked Lucy Lee’s photo out of all those?” “Well, there were about a dozen in the finals and the judges put it up to me, since I was handling the campaign, to pick out the winner. But I decided to come down and look her over before making a final decision. It isn’t only a pretty face that counts,” he chuckled. “You mean, it’s the figure too?” asked Pearl. “Yeah, with so much competition, a gal has got to have everything in these beauty marathons.. That schoolgirl complexion won’t get her very far if she bulges in the wrong places! She’s got to be easy to look at from the neck down, too. But now that I’ve seen Lucy Lee I’m not afraid to nominate her as bur Bloom-of-Youth Girl in the International Beauty quest." "You really think she’s pretty enough to win more prizes?” “Lady, she’s a cinch! I’ve never picked a loser yet. There was Suddsy Soap Flakes—but you don't want to hear about that. I only men-

i tioned it to show you what publicity will do. When I take hold of Lucy Lee—!" He paused impressively. “And say, that’s a swell name . . . Lucy Lee Carter.... 1 couldn't have picked out a better one myself. Just fits her. Young, yet sort of dignified and old-fashioned, like she is," he commented. “Listen, this is tha story. I came down here to look her I over and if everything was okay, to sign her up to a little contract. See? j We pay the thousand dollars prize money which entitles us to the use of her picture on Bloom-of-Youth advertising.”

"I understand." “But in addition to that, if we back Lucy Lee in the International Beautyquest at Atlantic City and she wins the Grand Prize, it means a lot of dough for her—if handled right. Well, naturally, the firm backing her—paving her expenses and so on—is entitled to a ten per cent cut of the profits. Say for six months. Fair enough, isn’t it?” “I suppose so, but I don’t know what her father will say to all this. He might not let her sign any such paper. He might not let her go to Atlantic City at all.” Don Ames stared. “Not let her?" He looked about the shabby room significantly. “Wouldn’t he be interested in making some real money? He must be different from everybody else in the world if he isn't.” “Mr. Carter is funny, that way,” Pearl explained in a tone which left no doubt as to her position in the matter. “He’s got old-fashioned ideas. Especially about women folks.” Ames regarded her shrewdly as he took a small notebook from his po*et and opened it at a blank page. “Yeah, but when it comes to handling men, a clever woman like you gets a chance to do her stuff, Mrs. Carter.” (To be continued) Copyright by Harriet Hlnidala.
