At a charity style show Toby meets wealthv Tim Jamieson who ahowers her with attentions for a time Tim leaves town for a few days." promising to rsll Toby as soon as he returns. The time stretches out and no word comes from him. Bill Brandt, long a friend of Toby's, !* employed by an advertising agency. He knows a mi,del ts to be selected for big advertising campaign to be launched by the HUlyer Soap Company. Bill persuades the head of tne company to consider Toby for the lob. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE TT was the letter from Jonas Huckleberry that was responsible. The sheet of pink notepaper lay on the table where Toby had dropped it and she saw it as she crossed the room to lower the window blind. The morning sun had reached a point where its rays shone into the room with dazzling brilliance. Toby lowered the blind and went back to the devenport. Orange sticks, buffer and a tiny bottle of pink liquid were spread out before her on the coffee table. She picked up the buffer and set to work industriously on her nails. Harriet, in pajamas and lounging robe, was curled up, almost concealed by the morning newspaper, In the biggest chair in the room. Presently Toby said, Harriet—” •'Yes.” "Harriet, what’s it like to be proposed to?” The newspaper crinkled and lowered so that Harriet’s face appeared over the edge. "What’s it like to be proposed to?” she repeated. "Hasn’t anyone ever proposed to you, Toby?” THE other girl shook her head. "Nobody,” she said, and then smiled, “ —except Joans Huckleberry." "So that was your first proposal! Well, that’s something.” Harriet dropped the newspaper. She went on thoughtfully, If you’re in love with a man and he asks you to marry him, you probably were pretty sure beforehand that he was going to. So there really isn’t any surprise about it. I don’t know much about proposals. There was one boy, a crazy kid, who wanted me to run off and elope with him when we were in school. And then there was another—l think he would have asked me to marry him, only he found out I didn’t like him well enough.” "But what was it like when Clyde asked you?” Harriet slipped clasped hands about one knee. “He just asked me.” There was a pause. Then she said, "Toby( you like Clyde, don't you?" “Why, of course I do.” t tt a SHE had tried to like him. She wouldn't, for (hr world, let Harriet know that, thaugh she had seen him several times, she had never been able to overcome that first impression of being uneasy when Clyde Sabin was about. "I’m glad,’’ Harriet said. “I’ve been wanting to talk to you about Clyde, but I decided to wait until you knew him. Otherwise you might not understand ” She hesitated, then went on, “Maybe you thought it was queer when I told you we had to keep putting off getting married.” Toby had thought it was queer, but she said quickly. “But lots of people do that, Harriet.” “Yes. I know—but not for the same reason. You see, Clyde and I can’t be married —because he is married now.” She went on, before the other could speak. “He’s been separated from his wife for years. It was a long time ago they were married. Clyde was only a boy. They soon found out they couldn’t get along so they agreed to separate. They didn’t get a divorce, because he didn't care anything about it at first and then, later, when she thought he wanted it, she refused. But now everything’s going to be all right. She wants a divorce, too. and she’s started the suit. A man always has to let the woman get. it, you know, even though the trouble was her fault. “Then—you’re going to marry

nun HARRIET nodded. “Just as soon as he's free,” she said. “Lots of people would think it was ddeadful to be going around with a married man, but you see how it is. don't you. Toby?" “Yes. I see—” Perhaps Clyde Sabin was all right. Toby hoped sincerely that he was. “Os course, I’m sorry about it all,” Harriet continued. “I’m sorry because that part of Clyde’s life has been so unhappy. But I'm going to make it up to him. You know\ Toby, I'm the sort of girl who wants a home. It's going to be wonderful, making a home for Clyde. I've been in this business —modeling and posing—now for your years. Most people will tell you four years is as long as a girl can do it —five at the most. “I’ve known hundreds of models and some of them have become famous and some have dropped out of sight. I used to think I'd give anything to get into the movies like Kay Francis and Norma Shearer. but I’ve changed my mind about that. What I w r ant is a home.” Toby said. "You'll have a lovely one, Harriet. I know you will.” SHE thought again that she hoped Clyde Sabin was the man Harriet believed him to be. Harriet was so sweet and generous and loyal. She deserved the very finest. It hurt, somehow, to think of Harriet with a husband who’d been divorced. Toby a 1 mast wished Harriet hadn't told her about Clyde. She hadn’t liked him before. Now it was going to be harder. "But maybe I'm wrong about him," she argued. “Maybe I don't know him well enough to appreciate his good qualities." She had to have some test photographs made that afternoon. Color photographs. Toby didn’t know anything about them, except that Sally had called from the Model League office and told her that if the tests were good the might land an excellent job. Even if she didn't get the Job, she would be paid for the tests and the rate for posing for color photography was higher than for black and white. Duryea was the photographer. Toby had never been in his studio and she approached it hesitantly, for Duryea was famous. Duryea made the handsome photographs always signed—that appeared in the most expensive magazines. In color photography he was a pioneer. Duryea. more than any of the other c*.*'brated phtographers. had been v ~ -lared an artist.

BUT. when she met him. he was not in the least formidable. He was short, and rather stout and wore spectacles, reminding Toby of the baker from whom she had often bought bread when she and her aunt lived in Jackson Heights. Durypa studied her through his spectacles and said. "Well, well sea. The hair is very good—” “They told the you wanted to make tests," Toby said. “I didn’t bring another dress. Will this do?" She was wearing the blue suit Harriet had persuaded her to buy a month before —a slim, youthful suit without the slightest bit of trimming. Her blouse was white with a frill down the front. Duryea nodded slowly. ’lt will be all right.” He told her to put on make-up as she would for the street, being very careful not to use even a shade too much. She came back from the dressing room to the high-ceiling studio—a more elaborate studio than she had seen before. At one end were screens, cranes, cables, gigantic lights and a switchboard. The camera was on a platform. Duryea had placed a red chair before a bright blue screen. "Here,” he said. "Sit here.” SHE posed for an hour and a half and Duryea madetwo pictures. She had never seen anything like the painstaking attention he gave to details. Duryea was like a scientist in a laboratory. He changed lights, the angle of the camera and her pose a dozen different times. Finally, the pictures were made. Duryea said, “You'll hear from the Model League if we need you again," and Toby nodded and wont back to the dressing room to get her hat. She opened the door and let out a little exclamation. She had expected the room to be empty. Instead, a ttall, slender girl in an amazing gown of white and flame stood before the mirror. It was an evening gown, daring in its lines as well as its fabric. Toby said. "Oh. excuse me—” and the girl turned. It was Carol Marsh. For an instant she eyed Toby. Then she said, “Hello." She said it in a way that was ijiore of a direct cut, Toby thought, than if she had not spoken at all. “Hello.” Toby said, and gathered up her gloves and make-up kit. She pulled on her hat without even glancing into the mirror and hurried away. tt tt a OUT on the street she breathed a deep sigh. She had liked working with Duryea and had hoped the tests would be good enough to win the job. But what chance would she have against Carol Marsh? That, undoubtedly, was why Carol was there. Sally had said several other girls were going to make tests. Carol, in that aflme-and-white creation, made Toby look like Cinderella before the ball. Carol would be the one chosen It was a pleasant afternoon and Toby decided to walk. She had gone half a block when a shop window halted her. It was a window filled with bright-colored sport clothes. Toby eyed one dress in particular, a white dress with a short green j&cket and a yellow scarf. It was a style that would be becoming to her and she liked the colors. Suddenly she became aware that

a man was watching her. He was a man she had never seen before—rather shabbily dressed, wearing a dark hat. A girl as pretty as Toby is accustomed to having men lok at her, an dknows exactly how to discourage them, but this one made her uncomfortable. She moved away, walking rather swiftly until she reached the corner. Then she turned her head, ever so slightly, and loked back. The man was following, not a dozen steps away. (To Be Continued)
