begin here today toby RYAN, 19, works behind the Jewelry counter of * Isrfc Msnhsttan department store- She poses for a photograph to be ased in a store advertisement and MARTY HIATT, the photocrapher, tells her she has a “camera iace," Toby *oes to dinner with BILL BRANDT, who works in an advertising ■lency. A few days after Toby loses her job, due to the scheming of jealous MACHINE BALL, also employed in the Jewelry department. Toby's efforts to find another Job are fruitless. Then she meets Marty liiatt and he sends her to BEN BLAKE, who rune a model agency. Blake tells her she must have photographs In order to register as a model and arranges for Hiatt to take thrm. After several anxious days, the model agency reports to Toby that they have an assignment for her. She goes to the office, is told she must wear a white evening dress. Toby has none. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY 0 0 0 CHAPTER TWELVE THE girl at the desk looked thoughtful. “Maybe,” she said /after a moment, “you could bor- ' row a dress.” Toby knew she couldn’t In all New York there was no mi? from whom she could borrow a white evening dress. And she couldn't possibly buy one. Her purse contained less than $lO. She was going to lose the chance she had dreamed of, the chance she had prayed for—because she didn’t have a white evening dress. She said, trying to hide her disappointment, “I’ll—l’ll see—" And then the amazing thing happened. The girl in the gray fur coat had been standing with her back toward the other two. She turned now. “Listen, Sally,” she said, “I’ve got a dress she can wear. I’m taller than she is, but we’re about the same size otherwise.” “Oh—would you?” Toby’s voice was eager. “You’ll probably have to turn up the hem,” the girl in the fur coat went on, “but that’s easy. I’ve got slippers to match—l think they’ll ft you. What size do you wear?” “Four-A.” “Then that’s ah right. Mine are four-B, but nobody will know the difference.” The girl called Sally said, with some uncertainty, “If you’re sure the dress will be all right, Harriet—” “Os course it will be all right! It’s the one I wore for those movie camera ads a couple of weeks ago. Don’t you remember? It’s white satin—with sort of a square neckline and a couple of rhinestone clips—” Suddenly she looked at her wrist watch. “Heavens! I’ve go to run or I’ll be late.” 000 TURNING to Toby, she said, “I’m going to be working for about three hours, but after'that I'll be home. Can you come over to my apartment—say about 5 o’clock? You can try on the dress and if it needs to be taken in or anything there’ll be time to fix it.” She gave Toby the address. “If I’m not there,” she finished, “wait for me.” “I'll wait,” Toby promised. “I don’t know how to thank you—!” “Oh, you can do something for me some time,” the other said easily. “See you later. Good-by, Sally—” The door closed on the words. Toby said, “That’s terribly nice of her. Why, she’d never even seen me until this morning!” “Harriet’s a good scout,” the girl

at the desk said. “Let's see—did I tell you the time you're to be at the studio—?” 000 THE house in which Harriet Holm lived was in a row of houses, all much alike, on an east side street boasting, to left and right, much more pretentious dwellings. Toby had no difficulty finding the address. She arrived a few minutes after 5. expecting that Harriet would be late. But she was mistaken; the door buzzed, releasing the lock, almost immediately after Toby pressed the bell. She went inside, climbed the first flight of stairs. Then, from above, a head appeared over the bannister and a voice called, “I hope you don’t mind climbing! It’s the top floor—” Toby went up two more flights. Harriet Holm, clad in a becoming blue negligee, met her at the top step. “Those steps are terrible,” she said. “Ive climbed them myself so often I’m beginning to feel like a mountain goat! But I keep the place because it’s rather nice, once you get up here—” 000 IT was rather nice. The “apartment” was a huge room across the front of the house with three windows looking down on the street. Pale yellow draperies had been drawn back so that none of the afternoon light was lost. There were book shelves, well filled, in the space between the windows. On one side a dark green davenport faced a coffee table on which was a copper tray and Vermillion coffee set. In the center of the opposite wall a piece of Chinese embroidery hung. Low, comfortable chairs stood before the windows and a leather footstool was pushed against the wall. There were splashes of color—dull blue, gold, sea green, and henna—in cushions and pictures and bits of pottery. Toby said, “How lovely!” “Like the place?” Harriet asked. “Here—let me take your coat. Sit down and make yourself comfortable. You need a rest after that climb —” But Toby, instead, went to the window and looked out. “It’s the nicest room I’ve ever been in,” she said “How you must love it here!” “I do like it,’ Harriet admitted. ‘ I spent more furnishing the place than I should have, but, thank goodness, its paid now. Well, I suppose you want to see that dress—” 000 SHE crossed the room and opened a door. “Here’s another reason why I like this place. It’s so hard to find an apartment with closet space.” Toby, following, let out a low exclamation. The door opened on a closet that was almost another room. Hanging on bars, closely packed together, were rows and rows of dresses, suits, coats—dresses with full, trailing skirts and dresses that were severely tailored, velvets, bright-colored cottons, filmy chiffons, a riding habit, a bright green jacket, swimming suits, tennis dresses, cute little shorts and bril-liant-hued sweaters, dresses of blue, yellow, green, silver, maroon, purple, black and white, dresses of prints and plaids and polka dots. Above, piled high on shelves, were cardboard boxes. “Are they all yours?” Toby exclaimed. “All these dresses?”

Harriet stepped into the closet, emerged with a white dre.v> over her arm. “Yes,” she said. “You 11 find you have a lot of clothes if you do much modeling. Os course, lots of these are old. You cant’ tell when an old dress is going to come in handy, so I never throw anything away. And I manage to pick up quite a few bargains. If you know how to mend and clean things that are a little shopworn, you can do that. The best-looking clothes I have are from the fashion shows. After dresses have been woren in a show, they usually let the models buy them for half price. That’s how I got this white one—regular $39.50 and it cost me $19.75.” 000 SHE held the dress up before her. “What d’you think of it?” “It’s beautiful! But do you think it will fit me?” “Easy enough to find out,” Harriet said. “Try it on.” Off came Toby’s own dress, and over her head went the soft folds of satin. Harriet snapped the fasteners, stepped back and eyed the other girl critically. “Well,” she said, “you can see for yourself. There’s a mirror—” Toby moved to the mirror, stared at the image reflected. “Oh—!” she said, and then again, ‘Oh!” She couldn’t believe, for an instant, that the girl in the mirror was herself. The gleaming white satin molded her figure in a manner that was witchery—alluring, demure. It was a dream dress, a dress to make dreams come true. Never, in her wildest imaginings, had Toby Ryan supposed she could look like this. Harriet asid softly, “I’ll have to sell it to you, Toby. After seeing you in that dress I’d never have the nerve to wear it again myself. It was made for you! Os course it will have to be turned up about an inch, but that’s easy. Wait, I’ll get the slippers—” •

AN hour later Toby departed, carrying the borrowed evening dress and slippers in a pasteboard box. One hand on the door, she halted. Toby said earnestly, “I’ll never forget what you’ve done for me.” “Well,” said the other girl, “if that’s true it’ll be a record—in this town. But I’m glad we happened to meet this morning, Toby. There’s something about you I don’t know what it is—but I think we’re going to be friends.” “I hope so!” Toby said goodbye then and hurried down the stairs. She had 20 minutes to reach the studio and Harriet had told her it was important, never, under any circumstances, to be late. She worked until midnight that night and earned $17.50. Two days later she spent a morning posing as a housewife making a bed. in the afternoon she stood for three hours while a photographer made picture after picture of her feet, clad in smart footwear. At the end of the week Toby’s earnings had mounted to $46.30 —more than three times what she had earned at Bergman’s. St St St SHE paid part of her registration fees at the Models’ League, brought herself a pair of black pumps and paid Harriet Holm? $lO of the sls they had agreed upon as the price for the white satin dress. She stil had more than her old salary left. Tt was almost, Toby told herself, as though she had stepped into a new world. She felt that she had been going about with her eyes closed. There were so many new things in this strange world—new people, ne wplaces, new things to do and to think about. She met other models, photographei's, artists, advertising saelsmen, art directors. She caught glimmerings of the workings of that most complicated of modern businesses, advertising. It was all absorbing, exciting. Toby worked hard and enjoyed it. Her eyes sparkled more gaily; her smile was brighter. Each morning she woke, eager to see what the day would bring. At night she dropped into bed, tired but content in the knowledge of a day’s woi'k done. And then—just when Toby felt that she had never been so happy —something happened that changed everything. (To Be Continued) New Bridge Rules Apply New duplicate bridge laws, which became effective three months ago in Chicago, are to be used for the first time in major competition in Indianapolis at the tenth annual national inter-club contract bridge tournament at the Indianapolis Athletic Club April 1 to 6.

Are you too close to your problems to see the light? Write to Jane Jordan who will help you understand them better. Dear Jane Jordan—l have been happily married for three years.

ried men—men who drink and associate with other women. My whole heart seems to have dropped out. I am nervous, irritable and nag a lot. I told him that if he wants to go out one or two nights a w#ck with his friends, it is all right, but while he is out he wants me to sit at home, do up my work, visit my mother or read a book. What in the world has happened to him, or is it me? I would rather separate now than share him with any one else. We are both young and I don’t want him to ruin our lives. BROKEN-HEARTED GIRL. Answer—My guess is that you and your husband do not lead an interesting enough life together and that he feels the need of change. After three years most marriages settle down into a pretty monotonous routine, unrelieved by enlivening experiences from the outside. No doubt you are tired after a day in the factory and do not feel equal to stirring up amusements for your husband by having friends in to dinner or dashing out to shows and parties, nor do you feel enough like a siren to put on a solo entertainment every evening, i imagine that hard work at home and away from home have made you a less buoyant companion, and to put it bluntly, the man is bored He has no housework to occupy him after his work is done, nor would he be ■willing to carry two jobs as you do. You are making a real contribution to your marriage. You have put your whole heart and soul into it. The man was what made it worth while. Now you find that what you. have done is not enough. He wants something else. His mind turns back witn longing to the irresponsible days of his bachelorhood. He wants to laugh

aud drink with good fellows again and hear conversation about something other than the domestic scene. What contents you does not content him. Almost any man would understand his craving for contact with something outside a woman's world. Almost any woman would call him an ingrate, as indeed he is, if he is unwilling to grant you the same freedom which he claims for himself. There are valid arguments on both sides. You, perhaps, have held him a bit too close, not realizing that he had masculine interests which received no outlet. Last week we had a letter from a woman whose husband allowed her no women friends. For five years she had blistered her back holding a fishing pole in the sun in an effort to be a good sport. Her yearning for women friends was no less great than your husband's nostalgia for merry gentlemen. On the other hand, your husband does not realize that you may need entertainment as much as he does, and he takes your patience too much for granted. Let him see his friends, by all means, but don’t stick at home and drudge while he is away. You can cut down the number of evenings he spends away from home by inviting more men to the house. Don’t you know any married couples who are interesting to you both? Haven’t you noticed when couples visit each • other, how the men form one group and the women another to discuss their separate interests? More or this would, I believe, mean less flight from home in search of men to talk to. Garnish Aids Fish Helen Broderick, screen comedienne, believes fish salads should have zest ingredients in garnish. She suggests a tart dressing, chopped sweet pickle, olives or capers.

GOOD TO EAT BY LOLA WYMAN

SOMETIMES the name of a recipe can make or break it. Take for example one called “Wirre Gedanken” which is Austrian for “Troubled Thoughts.” Now, troubled thoughts are the most dainty and . delicate little fritters, that actually crumble in your mouth, hence the name. Or this one called, Peasant Girl with a Veil. It’s a Danish recipe called in that language Bondepige med Flode. You must admit that's a lovely, poetic name and much nicer than apple Slump or fruit pudding, which is what it really is. PEASANT GIRL WITH A VEIL FOR 4 2 cups dried rye or graham bread crumbs % cup plum jam 1 2 cup sugar 2 tablespoons butter 74 cup whipping cream Any tart jam can be used. I had some plum open, so I used it. Melt the butter and add with the sugar to the crumbs. Mix thoroughly and pack into a mold lined with waxed paper. Bake about 20 minutes in a slow oven (325). .Turn onto a serving dish. Cool slightly, unmold and cover with jam. Chill thoroughly and when ready to serve cover with whipped cream, whipped until firm. I’m almost afraid to mention the name of this recipe—it’s not too pretty, but it does explain what the

INDIANA'S BEST SHOE STORE The "Breve” Urn :

BY MARY MARGARET M’BRIDI NEW YORK, March 25. i NEA)—You dread it and who wouldn’t? But spring housecleaning does lose some of its terrors as the years go by simply because the industry of designers and manufacturers, who, while their motives probably are not very altruistic, still make life easier for the housewife on her spring rampage. A non-tippable mop pail with an automatic wringer and two compartments, one for clear, one for soapy water, plus a long-han-dled covered dust pan are the first two essentials for this private clean-up campaign of yours. Next comes a brush kit containing a neat assembly of special brushes for all those places that are hardest to get at. In the collection is a brand new threepronged brush in two handle lengths for the Venetian blinds which we all have in our houses these days; a triangular brush for closet corners; a steel bristled, fairly long brush for gas stoves; a full-headed brush for bed springs; a slim, long-handled one for radiators, and a button brush (you will love that one) for tufted embroidery. The kidskin work gloves, creamtreated, which leave your hands softer than they found them, might not be called work equipment by a man but any woman will appreciate their importance. 000 THEN there are new rubber gloves for working in water that have a roughened palm and finger surface to prevent precious breakables from sliding through soapy fingers. Never was there so many special creams for furniture, waxes for floors and cleansers for upholstery. For instance, there is one cream that takes off heat rings; a cleaning fluid which will restore upholstery and drapery fabrics without odor or moisture (sounds miraculous, that one); an eiectric duster that draws dust from crevices; a spray gun that cleans your windows; a fluid that keeps your rugs from skidding; a floor wax that requires no rubbing (so they say).

recipe consists of: picetostes—or pieces of toast, to you. It's that easy. riCETOSTES FOR 4 4 slices bread cut 1 inch thick 1 egg 74 cup milk 74 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar 74 cup finely chopped nuts Remove crusts from bread and cut into inch fingers. Beat egg, add milk, salt and sugar and dip bread into batter (like French toast). Sprinkle with the nuts and fry in deep hot fat (385) until golden brown. Or bake in a very hot oven (450) for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with maple syrup. LOCAL FOLK TO SEE RACE Times Special ST. PETERSBURG. Fla., March 25.

Mrs. Arthur Fairbanks has been re-elected president of the Temple Sisterhood White Cross Flower Guild. Other officers are Miss Dora Wolfe, first vice president; Mrs. J. B. Kaufman, second vice president, and Mrs. Harry Cooler, third vice president. Easterners Like Gown BY HELEN WORDEN NEW YORK, March 25,-Mrs. Herbert N. Woollen, Indianapolis, made a great impression at the opening of the National Academy of Design recently. More than one artist turned to look at her black taffeta Florentine evening gown with its off-the-shoulder neck line and long, close-fitting sleeves. A Madonna way of doing her long black hair, dangling antique earrings and a gorgeous wrap of black velvet with a Medici ruff collar gave added style to her costume. She was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John Franklin Magee. “1 expect to be at the Park Lane for about two weeks,” she said, “before returning to Indianapolis.” She recently returned from a trip to Mexico. Mrs. Woollen, in choosing taffeta for her evening gown, picked a popular spring material. It is fashionable to rustle. Pique Jackets Cric White pique jackets are considered very chic if worn with black taffeta dinner dresses. Printed silks and colored chiffons may come and go, but black and white may be classed as bread-and-butter numbers. They are always in fashion. I recommend the magpie combination to the girl on a budget. Mrs. Jascha Heifitz (Florence Vidor) is having a white crepeback satin fnade up for evening. The gown is very simple and cut along Grecian lines. ins N artCIAI. tomorrow cS y SILK HOSE *4 ll Sheer Chiffon 1 jj
