They do not! I'm ■ all ri ht to play around with but when they begin to shop around for an engagement ring they have some sweet young thing like you or Marya in mind Eve laughed uneasily and slipped a fresh sheet of paper into her typewriter. The conversation was on dangerous ground. It had lieen on the tip of her tongue a moment ago to tell Arlene and Marya about the wedding that noon in the Little Stone Church, but she was not readv for that disclosure. Too many things were crowding themselves Into this day. a The second of the mast important events of Eve's life was to take place within tw'o hours after her wedding Two sharp sounds of the buzzer summoned her to the office of Earle Barnes, advertising manager of Bixby’s. Although her work took her to Barnes’ office many limes each day, j F.ve felt half-sick with trepidation this time. She trembled involuntarily. and her head throbbed with a dull ache Yet she strove to maint m an appearance of outward calm. A swift glance in the wavy old mirl i hunging over the washstand in the corner reassured her. and the gioup gathered about Barnes’ desk liule suspected that the lovely J flushed face and eager, bright eyes i • the girl joining them masked rial fright. Eve . chin was held high, howe\*r, and she managed a smile as slu acknowledged the salutatory nod of white-haired Mr Bixby. founder and owner of the store So much depended upon the outcome of this conference. Barnes drew up a chair for Eve. next to Alice Marshall, who was first assistant advertising manager. Mr Bixby brought from his vest a pair of Oxford glasses which hp unfolded and adjusted on his dignified nose “The better to see you, my dear. - ’ thought Eve. and she felt that with the aid of those powerful lenses he could pierce through to her innermost thoughts and discover her secret.

‘Miss Bayless,” he began with customary dignity, - you are undoubtedly aware that it is the policy of the Bixby store to watch carefully the progress of each of its employes. From the time you Joined us we have noted with satisfaction your spirit toward your work, your co-operation and your initiative.” Mr. Bixby smoothed the narrow black ribbon attached to his glasses before he went on a a a MISS MARSHALL is leaving us. I as vou. of course, know. And ;• becomes necessary for us to choose a successor to fill her position. Mr ■ Barnes and I discussed the matter I of the New York trip after my talk with you this morning. Miss Bayless, and it has been definitely decided that you are to go.” Oil how nice!” Eve managed to articulate It will give added interest and. importance to the launching of vour 1 special column and ought to give you talking points for many weeks to come. Women read department store advertising primarily for the purpose of learning of bargains and new merchandise. I've always contended. however, tliat in addition advertising should be chatty and interesting in itself. Well, were counting on you to make Bixby’s advertising chatty and interesting, j What this change may lead to eventually depends largely upon yourself the selling power of your copy, your initiative and the ability you display in other ways.” ’ Thank you. 111 do my very best.” Eve promised. ’Do you— did you definitely decide that I'm to go tonight? I could go a little later just, as well." Eve was praying in her heart. ‘ Not tonight. Dear God. don't let it be tonight!” e a a MR. BIXBY frowned slightly. • Yes. you are to start tonight. I thought that point was d°flnitelf understood. As you know. Miss Marshall leaves Saturday. We want you here the following Monday. "Go up to my office,” Mr Bixby went on. "and Miss Birney will take care of your expense money. She's wired for a hotel reservation and ordered vour transportation. Take whatever time you need this afternoon to go home and pack or for shopping." With an indulgent smile he dismissed an exultant yet friend- i ly Eve. Eve knew that this trip to New York meant that the management : at Bixbv's had almost certainly decided upon her as the successor to ! Alice Marshall. When she accepted • the expense money for the trip, she . felt she had sealed her fate. It was the thing she had wanted, of course. She had slaved to get where she was. Eve's work always had come before her pleasures, and ever since she began working she had bent all her energy toward one goal to become manager of an advertising office. This promotion was a long and important step toward that ambition.

THE exp* money exchanged for Travelers' checks and tucked safely into the chamois bag with her precious wedding ring, Eve went to the Y W. C. A., where she had roomed ever since coming to Lake City, and packed a bag for the New York trip. The small, shabby room that she had occupied these last busy, happy months of her girlhood already seemed a little strange, a little deserted. Eve had stayed on here even after she could have afforded more attractive and comfortable quarters. This decision was prompted entirely by economy. The building was conveniently near her work and provided room and board at a very reasonable rate. Eve preferred to economize thus and put the money saved into pretty clothes and educational advancement. Eve was careful; thrifty. She did nothing without a definite purpose. From the little table that served as a writing desk the pictured face of Eve's mother smiled at her from its cheap frame—the warm, steady mother-smile that had been unfailing all through Eve's life. Now she i paused contritely before thae picture of Kate Bayless. It was wrong, of course, not to have written to her mother that she was marrying Dick today. It was the first time she had ever j shut her mother out from any important pvent of her life. True. 1 she and Dick had decided hastily. And of course her mother was certain to approve of Dick. Eve reflected proudly. Her father, too. Dick Rader was exactly the •■•ort of dependable, industrious young man r o please the most exacting parents. Nothing to worry about on that score. Suddenly. Eve was conscious of that cheap, nondescript frame that held her mother's picture. Always she had planned to buy a better one. but always there had been something she had wanted for herself. Now she was ashamed that Dick should see her mothers picture in this frame. It almost seemed to her that he would know about the various things she had bought for herself with money that might have bought a frame. She would buy a new one in New York—a lovely, silver one. ana \S she packed for the trip. Eve remembered regretfully that she really had very little beside her clothes to take to her new home. She had never, as do so many girls, bought pretty things to adorn her future home. Esther, her sister, had dozens of lovely gifts to take with her when she married. But Esther had had a long engagement to a home-town boy. showers, engagement parties, and a wedding to which a wide circle of relatives and friends were invited. Those things meant so much to Esther. With Eve marriage was Important, but so was her career. (To Be Continued)

•He look at Mutia Escarpment. No man can do that and live!” announced Riano. Parker started, astonished at the words. "Mutia Escarpment!" he cried. But make him tell you the direction! Where? Where?" Speaking in Swahili, Riano questioned the native: “Where Mutia Escarpment—where?”
