She poses for a photograph to be used In a "tore advertisement and Mr'ty Hiatt, the photographer. tells her sl- ha* a “camera face.” Toby gne* to dinner with Rill Rrandt. who work* in an advertising agency. A few daya later Toby lose* her Job, due to the scheming of jealous Maurine Ball, also employed In the jewelry department. Toby's efforts to find anew job are fruitless. She meets Marty Hiatt, the photographer, and confides what has happened. Hiatt say* suddenly, "I know a man yon ought to see.” NOW GO ON WITH THE STORV CHAPTER SEVEN WELL,” said Marty Hiatt, "in the first place, he’s a swell guy. And a friend of mine. But that isn’t why I want you to see him. Ben Blake runs the Models’ League.” "The Models’ League?’* Toby repeated. “Sure. Haven’t you ever heard of it?” She admitted that she hadn’t. “The Models’ League,” said Hiatt, “is an agency. It supplies models for commercial photographers. You know—the pretty girls you see in advertisements in newspapers and magazines. Photographers hire their models through an agency, and the Models’ League is one of these. One of the best, too. Most of the girls at the top in the business—girls who earn $175 and $250 a week — are registered there.” Toby gasped. “A hundred and seventy-five dollars a week! Just for having their pictures taken?’’ Hiatt nodded. “Yes, and you bet they earn it. Posing is hard work. Os course, only the topnotchers get the high prices. But it’s a nice job. I think you'll like it.” Toby’s eyes were round. “Do you really think I could do it?” she asked. “Os course I do. Didn’t I tell you those shots we made the other day were swell?” “But I don’t know anything about posing.” “Neither did the others when they started. You’ve got what it' takes, kid—a camera face. I told you that the other day, didn't I f Well, Marty Hiatt never misses. If I were you, I'd go up and talk to Blake ” Toby got to her feet. “Excuse me a minute,” she said. There was a public telephone at the rear of the lunch room and Toby went to it. She deposited a coin and dialed the number of the employment agency. a a a THE voice of the woman she had talked to earlier that morning came over the wire. Toby reported that she had failed to get the job at the store because she had been too late. "I'm sorry,” the woman said. “I was afraid of that. Well, keep in touch with us. In a day or so there may be something.” “But isn’t there anything else I can try today? I can't afford to be without work ” “I'm sorry,” the woman said again. “There’s nothing else just now. Perhaps by the first of the week ” Toby hung up the receiver. She came back to where Hiatt was waiting and said, “Well, I'm going to take your advice. Where is this Mr. Blake and how do I get there?” The photographer took a card from his pocket, wrote the address on it. It was in a building uptown, easily accessible by subway. Toby took the card, smiled and brought one hand up in a smart salute. “Okay,” she said. “Never let it be said a Ryan missed an opportunity. I’m off!” Hiatt grinned back at her. “That's the spirit,” he said. “Some day I'd like a picture of you like that, —one hand up and a big smile. Might be able to sell it for an ad. Well —so long, kid. Remember I’m betting on you.” a a a THEY went to the door together. Then Hiatt set off westward and Toby turned east. She was aware, as she walked, of a feeling of excitement, a warmth that brought color to her cheeks and made her step light. Oh. if she really could get such a job, could earn half as much money as Hiatt had mentioned. It would be a fortune! She thought, “But I’m not like those girls in the advertisements. They’re beautiful!” . The photographer had seemed to believe that she could be a model, though. He had chosen her for his picture instead of Maurine Ball. Maybe she could do it, after all. Maybe she could All the way to the subway station and during the ride uptown Toby kept repeating to herself

Hiatt's reassurances. But by the time she reached the office building, panic had taken hold of her. With a gulp, she told herself, “They can’t do any more than put me out. And I've got to go through with it now. I promised Mr. Hiatt.” Resolutely she opened the door and went inside. The elevator operator showed no surprise when she said, “Models’ League.” He answered, “Fifth floor,” banged the door of the car shut and they shot upward. a a a TOBY stepped out of the elevator to face a deserted corridor. She wandered to the right a dozen yards, then to the .left. Suddenly she saw the door just ahead. In neat black lettering were the words, “MODELS’ LEAGUE INC.” Toby pushed the door open, entered. The room in which she stood was a rather small office, separated from a larger one by a railing. A girl sat at a desk in one corner of the room. Behind her, lining the walls, were rows of photographs. The girl was talking to a slender, distinguishedlooking man with gray hair. A half dozen chairs stood against the wall at the right. A man and girl were sitting there, the man reading a newspaper. On the left, the swinging gate leading to the office beyond, was a large screen on which a magazine cover and several advertisements, each a photograph, had been fastened. A small girl in a black fur coat and red hat came through the swinging gate, paused before the screen. Toby suppressed a gasp. It was the girl—the -very same one—pictured on the magazine cover. The girl gazed at the photograph, studying it impersonally. Yes, indeed, it was the same girl— Toby became aware that the girl at the desk was looking at her inquiringly. The slender man had departed. Toby went over to the desk. She said hesitantly, “I’d like to see Mr. Blake.” “What is your name?" the girl asked crisply. “Ryan—Toby Ryan.” “Oh!” The other girl smiled in friendly fashion. “You’re the girl Mr. Hiatt telephoned about?" “Yes.” Toby hadn’t known Marty Hiatt was going to telephone but she would be eternally grateful to him for it. a a a MR. BLAKE is busy now,” the girl at the desk said, “but he’ll see you later. While you’re waiting you can fill out this card. Have you had any experience as a model?” Toby said that she had not. The girl did not, as Toby had feared, look as though this was a shocking admission. Instead she said. “I’ll let you know when Mr. Blake can see you.” Toby retired to the farthest chair and began to fill in the card. She wrote her full name, address, and the telephone number at her looming house. In the space opposite age she wrote “19,” opposite weight, wrote 110 pounds. She added that she was 5 feet 3 inches tall, wore size 12 dresses, four-A shoes, 9 stockings, 21% hats and 6 gloves. Toby had written many applications for employment but she had never seen such a card as this. Absorbed by her surroundings, the time slipped by quickly. She was startled when she heard her name called. “Miss Ryan—?’’ It was the girl at the desk who had spoken. She went on. “Mi - . Blake will see you now. Go through the gate and down the corridor. It's the last office on the right. Toby followed instructions. Before the last door on the right she halted. The door stood open. Toby hesitated, uncertain whether to knock or speak. The man inside looked up suddenly, saw her and put down the letter he had been reading. “How do you do,” he said. “Did you want to see me?” a a a HE was a broad-shouldered young man, wearing a tweed suit. His hair was dark brown and he had a very straight nose and a wide mouth. Toby, for a fleeting moment, thought she had met him somewhere. That, of course, was impossible. She must have seen him, though. All at once, she knew. His photograph —that was it! She'd seen his photograph a dozen times, advertising a certain make of collars. Or was it shirts?

She said quickly, “Are you Mr. Blake?” “Yes.” “Then I do want to see you. I’m Toby Ryan—” “Oh, yet. Marty Hiatt sent you over. Want to be a model, do you?” “I'd like to try it.” “Come in and sit down.” Elake indicated a chair at his right. Toby noticed that the card she had filled out was lying before him. He picked it up. glanced at it for an instant, then at the girl. Then he tapped the edge of the card against his desk. “Let’s have a look at you from the side,” he said. “Now the other side—now straight front again.” He continued to study her for several moments, intently. “Well,” he said at last, “we may be able to use you. The registration fee is SSO, but that comes out of your earnings. You’ll have to have photographs, though. Better have three—full-face, profile and standing. You can have them made for $25.” Something in the girl's face stopped him. Toby said, “Oh—! and then, “Do I have to have the photographs?” “Why, yes.” Toby got to her feet, gathering up her purse and gloves. “I’m sorry',” she said, “I—l guess I’ve changed my mind about being a model.” (To Be Continued)

TODAY’S inexpensive menu features a hearty soup -as the main course. Followed by a salad and a desert, it makes a delicious meal. Corn and oyster bisque. Vegetable salad. Bread sticks. Almond flavored custard. CORN AND OYSTER BISQUE FOR 4 1 can of corn 1 onion, sliced 2% cups water 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons flour 2 cups milk % teaspoon salt Vs teaspoon pepper 12 medium sized oysters Paprika Combine the corn, onion and water and stew for 15 minutes. In the meantime, make a sauce of the butter, flour and milk and add the salt and pepper. Combine with the corn mixture, and rub through a sieve if desired. Personally, I like the corn and onions unsieved, left whole in the chowder. 4 Add the oysters, cut in halves or quarters and cook until the edges curl. For economy’s sake, the oysters may be omitted. Serve in deep bowls with a dusting of paprika. Italian bread sticks are excellent with such a chowder. The dessert, almond flavored custard, using left-over egg yolks, may be served plain in sherbert glasses or used as a sauce on cake.

In a talk at the Fall Creek Kindergarten recently on “The Patent and the Child,” Dr. Rosenstein said, “For every bad child you have two bad parents. Parents need trr ning as well as children. “In the cure of both mental and physical ills, parents are prone to treat symptoms rather than getting to the root of the problem.”

Girl Must Make Decision Hei'self, Jordan Declares

Put your problems in i letter to Jane Jordan who will answer soar questions in this column. Dear Jane Jordan—l have an ageold problem which seems to some so simple, but to me is so complex. I am in my last year of college and I have all the symptoms of being in love with two young men. The

two of whom I speak are fraternity brothers and intimate friends. One I have gone with over a year and a half. He is, more or less, egotistical in his actions and extremely jealous and sarcastic. The other, whom I have known for a shorter time, is a dependable,

Jane Jordan

warm-hearted and attentive sort of person. I know full well whom it would be to my advantage to favor, but yet something holds me to the one I have known the longest. I know i can not have them both, as already their relations have become strained. Can you help me to straighten out this eternal triangle? XYZ. Answer—l trust you will forgive me when I say that I think you are having an excellent time with these two young men and need no advice from me. I suspect you of attracting the amiable boy for the purpose of bringing the more arrogant one to heel. Your instinct in so doing is fairly sound, since competition spurs the average young man onward, and fear of losing the girl often is the feeling which causes liim to propose. I prefer to keep my hands off your decision. I have no way of knowing what your needs in love are and do not wish to influence your choice. It may be that you wouldn’t have the slightest respect for a boy who was not domineering and possessive. Some women like to be captured against their wills and put up a lively resistance in courtship for the purpose of stirring up violence. It is a fine thing to use the head in love as long as the intellect is not used to put down instinctive objections. I do not, for example, believe that an emotional recoil can be controlled by taking thought, or that one person can will himself to love another solely because it is the practical thing to do. I can not guide you in your selection. Let the best man win and in the meantime, “have fun.” a a a Dear Jane Jordan—l have been going with a boy for seven months. He has told me for a long time that he loves me and u’ants to marry me. Deep down in my heart I know I do not love him, nor do I feel like I ever would want to marry him. I don’t feel right to keep on stringing

him. yet I hate to break away. I would appreciate your advice. TROUBLED. Answer —If the young man's peace of mind is completely disrupted by the fact that you do not wish to marry him, the kindest thing you could do is to release him so that he can find somebody else. Otherwise I do not see why you can not enjoy a pleasant friendship with no thought of permanence. Very young men are seldom so deeply involved that ihey can not transfer their affections when the girl of their choice refuses them.

League to Fix Charts y— Indianapolis League of Women Voters under the direction of Mrs. Lester Smith, chairman of the committee of government and its operation, is to prepare charts on election information, for members’ use. The charts are to explain registration and primary dates, requirements for voting and registration, how to mark a ballot, when party conventions are to be held and how to participate, candidates' names and qualifications and the duties involved. The action comes upon the instigation of the National League’s preelection nonpartisan activities for the 1936 presidential campaign, designed to develop responsible participation in government. President Explains Need Miss Marguerite M. Wells, national president, voices the “need for a reasonable consideration of issues and knowledge of how to go about registering, participating in party procedure and voting.” The National League’s program is tc include suggesting of planks for party platforms, conducting candidates’ meetings, information booths on election questions, sending questionnaires to candidates and particularly to Federal and state legislative candidates, one-day voters’ schools to hear both sides of major election issues, radio programs, publication of candidates’ public records, study of state election laws and party regulation, absentee voting and general election procedure. In preparation for the nationwide education efforts, the national group has issued a chart entitled "What the Voter Needs to Know in 1936” and drafted suggestions for varied pre-election work.
