BEGIN HEBE TODAY CAMERON, a plain business girl. realizes suddenly her need to be beautiful when she sees and falls instantly in love with a man who ignpres her. She hears him called Schuyler and that he will be at Lake Minnetonka in June. Vera is secretary to JERRY MACKLYN, advertising manager for the Peach Bloom Cosmetics Cos. He proposes to change her into a beauty with the aid of the company cosmetics and to use her pictures in the company’s advertising. Vera at first refuses but reconsiders and tells herself she will undergo anything to be beautiful by June. After the transformation. Vera is amazingly beautiful and astounds her aunt with whom she lives, FLORA CARTWRIGHT. Just before Vera leaves for her vacation. she begs Jerry not to use .'.er Elctures in the advertising and he tells er he will tear them up if she will give up her trip. She refuses. He begs her again and confesses his love. Riding from the station to the hotel in the bus, Vera is made unoomfortable by a couple who whisper significantly about her, as if they recognize her. This same couple tells the hotel clerk something which causes him to become instantly deferential to Vera. A maid tells Vera she is lovelier than her pictures and hints she is in hiding. Vera suddenly remembers the picture Jerry used in having her re-fashioned. However, she forgets everything when she steps into the dining room and finds herself looking into the dark eyes of Schuyler. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XIV SEE-VEE CAMERON’S cool green eyes and her unsmiling lips gave no hint of the fact that her heart was pounding with excitement. Her glance lingered for only the most fleeting instant upen the man she knew only as “Schuyler,” shifted to the big, tanned, athletic-look-ing girl who sat at the small table for two opposite him, then swept with apparent unconcern over the occupants of the next table, as if she were sizing up her ffellow guests with impersonal and casual interest. She was following the dining room captain to her table, and her footsteps did not falter. "A table for one, mademoiselle?” the captain asked solicitously, as he stopped before a small table in the embrasure of a window overlooking the lake. TYes,” Vee-Vee answered. “I am alone.” Vera’s eyes raced down the long table d’hote menu. Hunger had been completely routed by excitement, by the thrill of a pair of dark eyes looking into hers with startled, glad surprise. “I’m not hungry,” Vera murmured. “Just bring me a grilled sweetbread with mushroom sauce, new asparagus with drawn butter, toast melba, and a pot of orange pekoe tea, with lemon.” “Very good, mademoiselle,” the captain bowed. “You will order dessert later?” “No dessert, thank you,” Vera answered, wishing that he would go away so that she could think, or rather that she could give herself over to the ecstatic realization that her quest was at an end. She had found “Schuyler” and he had looked at her as if he had been seeking her all his life— But who was the girl who sat at the table with him? Her greatest dread had been that she would find him only to learn that he was already married. She allowed her eyes to rove over the dining room. The big, tanned girl, dressed in a slightly mussed tennis frock of yellow silk that made her complexion look much worse than it was, was leaning toward “Schuyler,” talking rapidly and earnestly. As she was taking in these details jealously, fearfully, the man raised his head quickly, as if it had been jerked upward by the power of her glance upon him. Before she could wrench her eyes away “Schuyler” was smiling at her, the quick, eager smile of a person who wishes to remind you that he knows you—or at least has met you. Vee-Vee’s lips betrayed her for

an instant by quirking into an answering smile, then, her face flushed with confusion, she dropped her eyes to her empty plate, kept them there, as if she were intensely in the gaudy pattern of red and green flowers. “I beg your pardon!” The low, baritone voice which she remembered so well, even though it was no longer weary and bored as It had been in the elevator that memorable day when she had first heard it, broke in upon her confusion, increased it immeasurably. She had heard someone approaching, had thought it was the waiter— She looked up, her green eyes widening with surprise, then narrowing to haughty slits. “Schuyler" was bending over her, smiling with deprecating eagerness, which wavered to uncertainty as she refused to recognize him. “Don’t you remember me?” he went on urgently, in a low voice. “I met you five years ago at Palm Beach.” “I am afraid,” Vera interrupted him coolly, unsmilingly, “that you are mistaking me for someone else. I am Miss Cameron.” “I—l’m sorry. I beg your pardon. It is an extraordinary resemblance —May I introduce myself, unless that will add to the offense —” “I am not offended,” Vee-Vee smiled slightly, frigidly. “I am Schuyler Smythe of New York. May I say that I hope you will enjoy Minnetonka? I have found it to be the perfect escape from a New York summer.” Vee-Vee beckoned to the waiter, who was hovering in the background with a loaded tray. Schuyler Smythe flushed again, bowed formally, in the Continental fashion, and turned to walk rapidly toward his table, where his companion was awaiting him, scowling angrily at her plate. As Vee-Vee tried to eat, she cast an occasional glance toward the table whose occupants lntererested her so keenly. She could not analyze the impulse which had prompted her to be so frosty at her first interview with the man whom she had gone at such trouble and expense to meet. She had certainly felt far from indifferent as his handsome face had bent over her. Schuyler Smythe had undoubtedly been sincere in mistaking here for someone else. And she knew that she had not convinced him of his mistake —he believed that she had deliberately “cut” him and he had flushed with pardonable resentment at her refusal to acknowledge his acquaintance. “I’ve probably frightened him away with what he thinks is my rudeness,” Vee-Vee groaned to herself. “But—who in the world am I? I must be an exact double for someone who is awfully well known —a person who gets her pictures in the colored supplements of the newspapers, who winters in Palm Beach —” Her puzzled thoughts were broken into as she cast another glance at Schuyler Smythe and his companion. It was quite evident that the girl was in love with him. She had the frank open face of a girl who has never learned to conceal her emotions. Her scowl of anger had been wiped out by something reassuring that lie had said to her, and she was leaning across the table toward him. Her big, tanned face was positively radiant as she talked rapidly, making awkward, emphatic gestures with her big, brown hands. Schuyler Smythe, Vee-Vee noted, was neglecting his food to concentrate his attention upon his companion, bending toward her with

whimsical, tender interest in his handsome face. , “As if he were wooing her,” VeeVee thought angrily. “When I was plain and old-fashioned, he looked right through me as if I were not there. Then after I go and spend all my savings to make myself attractive I find him paying obvious court to a girl who could, by no stretch of the imagination, be called even passably good-looking. If that isn’t irony, I'd like to see a sample of it.” She had not quite finished her simple luncheon when Schuyler Smythe and his girl companion left the dining room. She dropped her eyes hastily as he turned at the door and glanced hopefully in her direction. In her experience she had formulated no plans for making acquaintances at the hotel. She had thought it would be quite simple, that the guests would be informally cordial, practically isolated as they were from the world in a summer resort hotel. But now as she left the dining room, with no idea of how she was going to spend the first day of her precious vacation, she wished devoutly that she had not come alone. "Oh, pardon me, Miss—er—Cameron,” a blithely cheerful voice called to her. She turned to face the woman with whom she had traveled in the hotel bus, the woman who had whispered about her to her husband and to the hotel clerk. “Yes?” Vera smiled guardedly. “My husband and I noticed that you were alone, and I just said to him, ‘John,’ I said, ‘l’m going to introduce myself to Miss—er—Cameron. She looks lonely,’ I said ” The woman about 35, well-dressed and pleasantly pretty, spoke in an eager rush of words, as if she were amazed at her own daring in speaking to Vera Cameron. “That is very kind of you,” VeeVee said gratefully. “Oh, I forgot to tell you my name. I’m Mrs. Bannister—Mrs. John, Adalre Bannister, of Kew Gardens —though you might say we live in New York City, for we keep an apartment there for convenience—when we don’t want to get back to Kew after the theater and times like that,” she rushed on. ‘Oil, John, come here, dear. I’ve introduced myself to Miss—er—Cameron.

This is my husband, John Adaire Bannister. I' suppose the name is awfully familiar to you—the Bannister part, I mean. John is a first cousin of the Bannisters, though he hates for me to mention it. John is so modest about family trees and things like that, but I’m sure you know how. I feel—” “Os course!” Vee-Vee murmured dazedly. “I’m very glad to know you—” “Oh, I just had to introduce myself,” Mrs. Bannister gurgled. “We’re all so thrilled to have you here, even if you are traveling incognito—All right, John, don’t pinch my arm! “I won’t say another word. Everyone is just dying to meet you, Miss —Cameron. John and I were talking to that marvelous looking man —Schuyler Smythe, his name is—right after he came out of the dining room and he warned us that you don’t want—oh, all right, John! “Anyway, Mr. Smythe and Miss Fosdick—my dear, I have a strong suspicion that they are engaged!— want you to join them—and us—for swimming this afternoon. Then we’ll all drive down to Snyder’s for tea. Sunday is a horrid day, but I’m sure we’ll have loads of fun —” Mrs. Bannister’s eager voice ran
