CHAPTER XLII ANOTHER SHOPPING TRIP Joyce left her apartment early the next day. She had determined to announce her signation that veiy morning to Miss Scanlon, and try to be relieved from duty at the end of the week. As she entered the lobby, she saw Mrs. Fitz-Simons bearing down on her. “Joyce Darling," cried that worthy woman, stopping and almost embracing the girl, come here, I want to talk to you.” She led the way to a lounge in the lobby and pulled Joyce dowq beaide her. “You’re looking thin and pale,” she began. “You need a touch of the country.” “Spring fever, I guess,” said Joyce Indifferently. “And the cure for spring fever is a big dose of the spring,” declared Mrs. Fitz-Simons triumphantly. Now I have a little plan for you. Promise me you’ll fall In with It.” “I'd love to do anything I could to please you, Mrs. Fitz-Simons,” Joyce answered, remembering that here was one person who had been uniformly kind to her this winter. “That’s right It's just what I expected you to say, you dear thing.” Mrs. Fitz-Simons squeezed Joy’s hand. "Some of us are going out to the Anvil Club for a house party in advance of the club’s opening. I'm really giving the party and I want you to come.”

No Stomach Trouble or Rheumatism Now Suffered for 30 Years, Before He Found Right Road to Health. There is mighty good news for sick people, in a letter written by Harvey Knox, Route 2, Gaston, Ind. He feels sure other sufferers can regain health just as he did. Mr. Knox writes: "I had stomach trouble for thirty years. My stomach would bloat and cramp. The gas would crowd back my heart, and the pains were awful. My appetite was poor and I had to watch what I ate all the time. I also had rheumatism in my right leg below the knee, and my ankle swelled up so I could hardly walk. Nothing I would take did me any good, Then I heard of Viuna and bought a bottle, and right from the first I felt better. Now I feel fine. My stomach trouble is all gone. No gas, none of that bloating, and I can eat anything and plenty of it. My rheumatism is gone, doesn’t pain or swell at all, and my leg is as good as it ever was. My weight was formerly 140 pounds, and now I weigh 157 pounds, a gain of 17 pounds. I lay my present state of good health to Viuna.” Vlnna acts promptly on sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then if you re not glad you tried Viuna, your money will be refunded. $1 at druggists, or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Cos., Indianapolis, Ind.

I “Me!” Joyce exclaimed in real I suprise. “Why, it’s lovely of you to at’- me, Mrs. Fitz-Simons, but I honestly don't see how I could leave my work here.” “I knew you would say that, you dear, conscientious little thing,” said Mrs. Fitz-Simons, beaming. “And I’ve arranged all that for you. There's a telephone boar.d at the club, and I want you to come out to take care of it while we are there. We're to be quite a large party, sixteen in all together, so there will be quite a little telephoning in the morning, orders and so on. But nothing that need keep you very long. Then you’ll be free to play with the rest of us and get some of your lost roses back.” “That's more than nice of you, Mrs. Fitz-Simons,” Joyce was hunting for the means of refusal. “But, really, I don't believe I can get away to go. When is the party?” “We are leaving Sunday afternoon and will stay the entire week. Just think of it. walking in the spring air, stories and dancing at night, a big open fire, and a splendid crowd of young people!” She was sure of Joy’s acceptance as she painted these delights. “Who is going?” Joytie asked, still sparring for time. “All the reading circle crowd and their young men. I'm sorry Henry Deacon can’t come. He's out of town, isn’t he?” Joyce nodded. “I heard he was, and I don’t suppose he would be able to come, even if we wired him an invitation.” "I suppose not,” Joyce said, remembering 'the haggard face Deke had shown her last, and his feeling that the fate of the Deacon fortunes hung on the outcome of this trip. Mrs. Fitz-Simons was chattering on. “But you needn't be lonely, dear. Carter Deland is back, - you know, and he will be one of us. In fact. I'm quite sure he counts on your being there.” Mrs. Fitz-Simons had played her trump card. Joyce moved restlessly. If she didn’t go, Carter would think she was afraid of him. If she did, he would take it as a signal of her renewed Interest In his friendship. After all, why not put in the week that remained before she ieft to join her father in this pleasant fashion. Aloud she said: “I don't know whether I could arrange it here or not, to be away for a week. We’re pretty busy now, you know.” “Oh, I arranged all that,” said Mrs. Fitz-Simons, beaming. “I had a little talk with my friend, Mr. Robertson. He said he was sure they could arrange to let you go for that length of time. He has noticed how pale you are getting, too, and thinks the change will he good for you. Then I can cgunt on you?” “I suppose go,” said Joyce, half sorry that she had yielded. “I’ll let you know later about the hour and the arrangements for motoring out,” Mrs. Fitz-Simons said, rising. “I’m so glad you are coming. I’m sure we’ll all have a wonderful time." They separated and Joyce wandered down the lobby, deciding to postpone the announcement of her resignation. “They’ll have a girl in here anyway by that time. They can manage without me.” She sat down in one of the big chairs to think. A sparkle of fun came into her eyes and presently she was talking to Helen Powers, who was, next to Franky, her best friend in the reading circle. “This is Joyce Daring, Nelly. 1 just learned about the house party.” “6h, my dear, are you going, too? What fun! Reggie and I just think it’s heavenly, this chance to wander aroand with Mattie to furnish a discreet background. 'Who’s driving you out?” “Fitzy, I suppose. She said nothing about any one else. I’ll probably go out with her and Mattie. I’m really only half in the party. I’m going to put all your telephone calls through for you, you know.” “How wonderful! There won’t even be any wrong numbers to spoil the fun.” “I’m not so sure,” Joyce laughed. “Tell me, Nelly, what are you taking to wear?” “All sport things. And one dinner dress and a darling dance frock. But mostly sport togs.” “Where did you get them?” “Oh, Joyce, if you’re going to buy some, do go to AlbertHe has the buckiest sport things ever. .Only honey, if you love me, don’t buy anything red.

lot of red myself. Reggie's like all other men. He adores red. But If you can wear green, really, Joyce, there's the slickest green jersey outfit down there with a gray brushed wool scarf and tarn. You’d be ravishing in it. Do go get it before he sells it to anyone else.” “I can wear it and I love it," Joyce admitted. “I'll go in to see some things. Thanks a lot, Nelly. I’ll see you Sunday.” Presently she was asking to see Judge Perkins. “I'm going shopping.” she told him. “And if it wouldn’t be asking too much, I'd like to ask you for some money.” “How much?” the judge smiled at her. Her youth was infectious and he often thought half sadly of the daughter he had lost so tragically many years before. • “I honestly don't know. Mrs. FitzSimons is giving a house party out at the Anvil Club next week and has asked me to go. AH the girls in the reading circle are invited. Os course they don't know that I'm going to have some money, too, soon, so they’ve asked me to take care of the telephoning in the mornings and play in the afternoons.” "And you thought you’d like to have as pretty clothes as the rest of the party?" Judge Perkins suggested. Joyce nodded. “Then suppose I just certify your charge accounts wherever you want to buy things, and you can pay the bills month after you’ve come into your money." “How will I do it?” “Give them my name as reference, and when they call me about your account I’ll tell them it is perfectly all right." “Thank you. Judge Perkins. You're awfully good to me." “Come in to see me and show me how pretty you are in your new things,” he suggested, “and we'll call it square.” “I will,” she promised, and left, after exchanging a humorous smile with him. “He knows what fun Cinderella had at the ball when she surprised every one in her new ball gown," Joyce thought to herself. Down the avenue she tripped and

into the evslusive portals of Albert's establishment. “Sport things?” she inquired of the clerk who came to wait on her. She was shown several dresses and coats. “My friend. Miss Helen Powers, told me you have a very pretty green. May I see that?” she asked presently. Instant respect at the name “Powers” dawned in the clerk’s eyes. “Indeed, Mademoiselle,” she said. “Come in here and I will show you our smartest models.” She led the way to a private show room, lined with mirrors. For an hour Joyce had an intoxicating array of clothes and selected three complete outfits. She could not resist the green one Helen had Mentioned, though the price had made her gasp, and caused her inherited Scotch caution to rear its head. She bought a suit of fawn color to wear on the trip to the club, with a hat and soft silk blouse to match. A sturdy tweed skirt and an assortment of bright sweaters, a crushable suede hat, and a dazzling array of sport stockings satisfied her love of color. It was a very respectful clerk who came back to the fitting-room after telephoning Judge Perkins, and promising her the things for the following day. “Now for sor.:o evening clothes.” Joyce thought, emerging into the spring sunshine. ‘‘Some thing in black,” she told the clerk, remembering Carter’s suggestion for her. She chose a black chiffon which billowed out softly when she walked. There were green and gold velvet flowers appliqued on its skirt, and a cluster of green with gold leaves on one shoulder. "It is verj- striking.” the clerk told her, admiringly, as Joyce was having it fitted. Thrilled with <he power to buy what she liked, Joyce made a list of things she wanted. There were sheer stockings, satin slippers, underwear, a smart leather bag, brogues for walking, a bewildering array of expensive toilet preparations. She decided against a hag of golf clubs. “It would look affected,” she

thought regretfully. “Every one knows I can't play.” She longed for Franky who could have guided her unerringly in the matter of accessories, and went home, weary but delighted, to await the arrival of her purenases. She heard no further word from Mrs. Fitz-Simons and decided that this lady simply meant to appear at her apartment for her Sunday. “I wish Deke could see me now,” %he thought wistfully, as she finished her dressing Sunday afternoon. v She was wearing the fawn-colored suit. She had buttoned the collar about her young throat and found that it gave her a jaunty, boyish appearance. She pulled her soft matching hat a little more over one eye. She looked at her tan gauntlets and pulled the bright handkerchief that peeped from her pocket a little more prominently into view. Her bags were ready. She felt like a child about to see the Christmas tree. The telephone rang. “There she is now,” Joyce thought, going to answer it. Mrs. Fitz Simons’ voice came over the wire. “Joyce, dear, are you ready? Carter is coming out for you right away.” (To Be Continued) Copyright, 1927, Famous Feature Syndicate, Inc.
