eyes nostile, blight with suspicion. In her mo.t business-like voice, Moira said, brightly and efficiently: "That will be iierfectly all right, thank you.” And hung up. "Who were you talking to, Moira?” "A new customer. Wanted an appointment for tomorrow morning. At ten.” “I didn't see you look in the appointment book. What was her name?” She fabricated: "Mrs. Horace Zink. She asked for me specially. Said she'd heard I do good work.” "Used to, you moan,” corrected Cora. Her nostrils dilated so she added: “She probably hasn't heard what you did to M rs. Rules.” For the injured customer still was in the hospital, having special treatment. After-care for her burn.*., though she was perfectly able to leave. "It’s my belief shell have one of those big plastic operations. Skingrafting to the face. Heaven knows what it’ll run us Into," the proprietrix snapped, for they were alone now. Moira thought: "Cat! But! must do something to placate her ...” An idea had been turning in her mind. Despite the exodus to Florida and warmer climates, New York had loads of out-of-town visitors, elderly women out for a gay time, with plenty of money . . . women from "the sticks” away from their husbands . . . widows wanting to remarry . . . divorcees seeking flirtation. --, Why, the nightclubs were doing roaring business! I "I've thought up an idea that might make lots of money for you. Mrs. Deverney. It would nei-d a i small outlay in advertising, but we ' could put-it over with the colunin- ■ fasts and the press, I am sure. We'd I make a big filay for the older woman visiting New York for the first time. The woman with money to i burn, “he wants to be attractive, ’ not only in beauty, but in manner, carriage, attitude. But no one s ever told h' r her personal liabilities. No one's ever 'aught her the I gestures of ap|H-al that go to make up the charming woman, ssc? I’d like to start 'dtaasrs for nlb-'t' right here in the shop,” said Moira. "Have you gone out of your mind?” "Never was saner! Don I you realise that boy who opened the 'escort service’ for solitary, moneyed , women has made a foitune almost overnight? And this is along the same lines! If she’s willing to pay for a handsome escort, she’s willing to pay for preliminaiy instruction in appeal, in poise, manner way of entering a nightclub, seating herself at tabic, conversation, general impn ion. And naturally we’d tie .up my clasgps with beauty treatment proper make-up and the like It would work two ways. It would be a cinch!” Cora Iraiked thoughtful. Souse of the antagonism faded from her sharp small eyes. “You mean you'd teach rm how to land a man? Sex appeal, and the hke? That's it?” "Well .., something of the kind. I've i ca<l lots of hooka on personality and charm—”— -. Ami tried it on the men. Ili het!” But Cora, scenting money, was actually smiling now. Moira Immediately got down io hard tacks. "ClasM-s three times weekly, an hour at a time. Six lectures for twenty Are dollars for each woman. I'd eaf'ct a doxrn in • «•*•■ * d give it in the stockroom." “At that rate, and with that number. you'd be bringing one hundred I .nd fifty dol'«« ■ ln hrr '/ , , -oh. much more! For each of them, after the lesson, would be sure to want a hair-do--a new hair-do - ' |'d advise an original one for each type of faro and you could charge for special make up. as well. Most of them would need a facial. For we'll make ab" for the older Ji. and themght life, to which she's unaci-ustomed up to now, does take its toll! _, With an attempt at gractouaness, Cora admitted Moira had the germ of s n idea worth tackling. -I'd want fifty fifty on «he classes, and a percentage on beauty treatments taken by my pupils. Thai's only fair. For it • taken me x.:n: will uU plenty of tact.

Presently, in her exhilarating talk with Kim, the heaitening 1 effect of his admiration, she forgot • that she’d wondered if he didn't 1 ; want to be seen with her in a place '' | where his own friends were liable • to drop in. luiter. she knew she was mis1 taken, for at a hint to Kim. on their 1 third date, he took her, gladly, to ' the Savoy Plata lounge bar.

Her mind was relieved. ' It was lovely in ".W," the crleh- '' rity hnle away. The maitre-d'hotrl, t Philip, and bis captains, treated Kim with deference. It wasn’t only that he spent freely.

I Christmas Play —♦ — Ry Katherine Edelman T'HE town hall was wreathed with ■ holly and mistletoe. Bright red bells hung from the old-fashioned chandeliers. Christmas candles sent their soft glow into the night. The whole place cried out welcome to the crowd who thronged through the doors. By eight o'clock every seat was ; occupied. Small gossip and mur- , murs of expectancy ran through the I crowd. The little town was proud ; , of the boy who was taking the leadI ing part in the play. They had known Ted Rawlings all their lives. Known him as an easy-going lad, interested in nothing more than fishing and hunting around the coun- ' try. and later as an astonishingly changed ambitious fellow No one seemed to understand how the quick transition occurred. All eyes turned to the stage as the heavy curtain rolled upward. Three hundred pairs of eyes fastened ' themselves upon the moving speaking figures. "Isn't Ted wonderful." young girls whispered breathlessly to each other. Between acts, thuntHi E ”dss it™ ’ I kJ Hni dflHNr ’ T wl “Ted. you were perfectly wondertil," Dally was saying. derous bursts of applause filled the room. Hands clapped with vehemence Small boys made their approval known by shrill whistling Ted carried the audience with him, every step of the way. He , seemed to enter, to meue himself ■ completely in the character he portrayed. His make-believe was so intense in the last act, that there was • glcep silence for a moment when the tlnpl curtain fell. FOR the time It was no makebelieve to Ted. He was living again all the agony of parting, of seeing Sally Howard go away with out a word He had been sure until her train pulled out that she would come and say how sorry she was for the bitter, reproachful words . she had hurled at him. Words that had left their mark upon his soul—that had stung him Into a mad. ambitious desire to show her what he could do. He found no real satisfaction in the tumultuous applause that followed. In this hour of his triumph, his heart cried out for Sally. If only she was here! If only she had cared! He scarcely knew what he was saying In answer to the lavish congratulations. Suddenly small hands pressed tightly around his arm. and a remembered voice spoke in bis ear. "Ted. you were perfectly wonderful." Sally was saying, "wonderful, wonderful. I'm so prood—so proud of you." "But. Sally, I don't understand. I thought you were in New York.” “I was. until last night Ivc been keeping track of you. I knew all about the play, and-and the way you have been working lately. I wouldn't have missed this for anything In the world." "Rut the things you said. Sally? They hurt-they still do.” "I wanted them to hurt. Ted. i know—l know it was sruel, but there seemed no other way Someone bad tn give you the right kind of push ' to get you going You know you were really lazy’ But now. well, you've really put on speed " "Nothing like lhe speed I'm go- j Ing to show in getting ready for a Christmas wedding There's just two days left We've got to make it a really big event.
