BEGIN' HERE TODAY VERA CAMERON, plaip but efficient private secretary, agrees to let JERRY MACKLYN, advertising manager for the Peach Bloom Cosmetics Cos., transform her into a beauty, after she falls instantly in love with a man who ignores her. Jerry proposes to publish her photographs in advertising booklets. In refashioning her. the beauty specialist uses a picture which Jerry finds in his desk. .... Vera is so beautiful after the change that Jerry falls in love with her. His love persists even after Vera’s aunt, pi,ORA CARTWRIGHT, tells Jerry that Vera is to spend her vacation at Lake Minnetonka because she hopes to meet there the man she is In love wtih. At the summer hotel, Vera is mistaken for someone else and is treated with a deference that mystifies her. SCHUYLER SMYTHE, the man she is in love with, tells her he met her live years before at Palm Beach. She attemDts to convince him and the other guests of her true identity. Schuyler is devotedly attentive to Vera, much to the jealousy of NAN FOSDICK. In her room, Vera opens a letter which Jerry gave her before she left. From lt sL learns that he fears she will be mistaken for a VIVIAN CRANDALL. who is in the midst of a matrimonial mix-up. Jerry warns Vee-Vee not to try to play “princess incognito. Vera, for some unknown reason, tucks the letter beneath her blouse but puts the pictures and clippings In the drawer. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XX I IURING1 URING the following two if) I days Vera Victoria Cameron, | _J whom every guest at the hotel beleived to be Vivian Crandall, an ex-princess, was so busy being ‘•wooed” by Schuyler Smythe and practically every other unattached malg at the big resort hotel that she had little time to worry about the consequences of her recklessness in not advising Jerry by wire that the situation which he had predicted in his letter had actually come to pass. Not once did she admit, in words, that she was Vivian Crandall, but she frequently shrugged her white shoulders and quirked that fascinating right eyebrow of hers, when inquisitors were busy trying to worm an admission out of her, in a way that said more plainly than words: “Oh, have it your own way! But—l’m not telling?” She was clever enough to know that her amazing popularity was not amaaihg at all; that these well-to-do, handsome eligible young vacationers were not paying: court to Vee-Vee Cameron but to ‘Vivian Crandall’s forty millions. If the royal mantle of Vivian Crandall had not been accidentally flung aboqt her shoulders, she would have been merely a very beautiful' little nobody, a charming partnerfor a summer flirtation. As it was, however, she .received the deep h om age which even these comfortably rich young' men pay to -forty millions • and to -a woman who has worn a crown. She wondered, sometimes, but only fleetingly because they kept her so busy, how they COilld accept her so unquesbioningly, how she escaped being exposed a dozen times a, day.. But the clippings which JetTy had sent her gave her a partial explanation of that fact. The Princess Vivian had moved only in the most exclusive circles of New York and Newport Society before her marriage. No princess of royal blood had eyen been jnore carefully guarded than the little dollar princess. After her marriage ehe had scintillated at foreign courts, to which these moderately rich people who patronized the Minnetonka Hotel had no entree. Comparatively few people in America had had the privilege of intimacy with Vivian Crandall or the Princess Vivian. She overheard Mrs. Bannister ex--plaining the amazing fact of Vivian Crandall’s choice of the Minnetonka as a retreat: “The poor little thing has been under Someone’s thumb all her life. “First her mother ruled her with an iron hand, denying her the least freedom to mingle with ordinary people. Not that I think we are ordinary, you understand Then Prince Ivan, jealous and domineering as those foreign men are, kept to* from having any life of her otvu at all. “When she quarreled with her parents over her divorce—Mr

Crandall is simply paralyzed with horror over the very idea of divorce —the poor darling just made up her mind to live her own life for a while. I don’t blame her at all. She has a right to know Americans, to choose her next husband from among the real backbone of the country, if you know what I mean—” Thus Mrs. Bannister before she began to sulk because Vee-Vee had so little time for her, before Veevee began to try to avoid her ceaseless pricking little questions. Another unintentionally overheard remark made by Mrs. Bannister on Tuesday was not so friendly: “Oh, of course she’s insufferably conceited! Who was it that discovered her, introduced her, was kind to her when she arrived here, friendless and unknown. I’d like to know?” But when she encountered Mrs. Bannister later in the day, on the lake shore, Mrs, Bannister gushed and complimented her as usual. “I’m getting a marvelous education in the penalties one pays for being rich. Toadies, toadies everywhere!” Vee-Vee told herself with a slightly bitter twist to her mouth. No wonder the real Vivian Crandall had a patina of disillusionment and bitterness overlaying the exquisite loveliness of her face. “They say,” Vee-Vee overheard a girl confiding to a young man in the concealing darkness of a June night, “that this Schuyler Smythe is the lover she divorced the Prince for. And they say he hasn’t a penny, is just a parasite that she’ll have to support. “But of course, with forty millions, she can buy any sheik she wants. And heaven knows lie’s good-looking—oh, quit, Rodney! Don’t glare at me like that, darlnig! Os course, I’m not in love with hipi. you silly boy—” Schuyler Smythe was with VeeVee at the time, and she felt his arm flexing into a battering ram of tensed muscles. She walked slowly away, down a flower-bordered path, the heavy fragrance of the blooms like the faint odor of death in her quivering nostrils. “Who is the man they’re talking about the lover you divorced Prince Ivan for?” Schuyler’s breath was hot on her neck as he drew close to her. "I haven’t dared ask you before —you have a genius for discouraging questions and I wanted to forget that ther£ is supposed tq be another man—but who is he, Vee-Vee? :“God! I can’t stand this much longer! You let me come just so close and no closer. Why, you haven't even let me kiss you yet! But—l’m going to now!” His arms .which had been upraised in a gesture of impotent despair, fell heavily upon her shoulders, gripped her like cables of steel. She strained away from him, but his .body bent with her, so that her slender waist seemed about to be broken. “Not yet, Schuyler! Not yet!” she pleaded, though her body throbbed

with desire for the pressure of his mouth upon hers. She laughed; without sense or intention, a low, rich, shaken chuckle of mirth, which purchased her release. “You’re laughing at me! I might have known yem wern’t taking me seriously. You, that could marryany man In the world you want—” His voice was broken, came in whistling gasps over his dry, parted lips, but his arms had released her. “You’re jealous, Schuyler?” she asked softly. She had to say something, though her mind was whirling with chaotic thoughts. Why had she not let him kiss her when she wanted his kiss so much? Her reason was not a reason at all, but an instinct of decency that could not be drowned in passion. When he kissed her it would be Vera Victoria Cameron that he kissed, not-an unwilling impostor. “Am I jealous? Oh, God! Jealous! I’m eaten up with It, Vee-Vee! I can’t sleep, I can’t eat—when I think of you in that damned Russian’s arms, I nearly go crazy. But when I think of you, hiding here to save yourself from the man they say was your lover in Paris—” “Hush!” she commanded him sharply. “There was no lover in Paris. Tell me, Schuyler, would you rather I had never been married, that I was—a girl?” she added, softly. Oh, if she could only tell him the truth, so that he would believe her, and yet not hate her for having taken that other woman’s place—“l wouldn’t have you changed,” he said ardently, reaching toward her again. “If it took all that is past to make you the woman that you are today, I am a fool to be jealous of that past. But I hate him for having made you suffer. Oh, Vee-Vee, don’t hold me off any longer. “Let me love you, let me make you happy. I'll make up to you for all that you have suffered. I love you! Can’t you love me? I’m not a conceited puppy, but I would not have dared hope Sunday, when you came walking into my life again, if there hadn’t been something in your eyes that gave me permission to hope—Vee-Vee! Tell me—” There is no knowing what she might have done then, with his low, musical voice pulsing in her ears, and making her nerves vibrate with joy, if they had not been interrupted. The interruption could not have been more startling. It was a laugh, a hoarse feminine laugh that rose high on a crescendo of pain and shattered on a sob. A girl’s tall, big body crashed through the hedge beside which Schuyler and Vee-Vee had been standing, ran a blind, zig-zag course up the path. “Nan!” Schuyler called out Involuntarily. “Oh, damn that girl!” He flung out his hands in a gesture of helpless rage. “I’m going back to the hotel,

Schuyler,” Vee-Vee told him in an even, emotionless voice. “Please don’t come with me. I want to be alone.” “I swear that I owe her nothing—” Schuyler began tensely. “Please! It isn’t—just what I want to be alone to think,” Vee-Vee told him and walked rapidly away. She wanted to forget that hoarse, jagged laugh ending on a terrible sob, to think only of her own problems. But she could not forget. She found herself murmuring “Poor Nan! Oh, the poor thing!” She had a curious sympathy for the jealousy which racked the other girl. For was not she herself racked with jealousy of that woman she had never seen—the woman with whom Schuyler Smythe was really in love? f “Oh. poor Nan!” Whv couldn’t she accept the defeated girl’s pain as a part of the fortunes of the love war? A suspicion that she had crushed down repeatedly but which could not die reared its ugly head writhed through her troubled thoughts like a poison-fanged serpent. Mrs. Bannister had hinted that Schuyler had been about to marry Nan Fosdick for her money. What was that ugly phrase she had added— “ —if it is luck! v Why should there be any question of

Nan Fosdick’s being lucky to land a hian like Schuyler Smythe? And that girl whom she had overheard gossiping about her tonight had said, “They say he hasn't a penny—” What if he was poor? Wasn’t she herself dependent upon her salary as a private secretary? But the gossiper had been referring to Vivian Crandall’s reputed iover, for whom she had divorced the prince. A party in the lobby, coated and hatted for a late drive along the lake shore, tried to persuade her to join them, but she escaped, going directly to her room. She was wearily raising her arms to remove her evening dress when a sharp tattoo beat upon the door, an insistent summons which said MONEY TO LOAN —ON—MORTGAGES STATE LIFE Insurance Go.
