BEGIN HERE TODAY Daphne Brett loved Larry Smith, architect. Larry asked her to marry him, hut Daphne had repeatedly refused because she wanted to lay aside sufficient money first to see Jennifer well launched on a career. Jennifer had proved the selfish young sister, defying every wish and even going so far as to try elopement with Tucker Ainsley, wealthy playboy. And then Jennifer met Gordon Herzberg, famous theater man, and seem® to have found her right work. One day, meanwhile, Daphne received orders from her advertising firm make a two-months’ sales tour of the country. At the same time Larry, dered to Spain on a business trip, again asks Daphne to marry him. And Daphne refuses because she needs the bonus the trip provides for Jennifer. But this she does not explain to Larry. Larry, of course, not knowing Daphne's real reason, decides she has chosen a career in preference to love. He says goodby and he does not return. Daphne starts on her trip, broken-hearted. In Detroit she receives a girl friend's letter revealing Larry hadn't gone to Spain after all. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

CHAPTER NINETEEN APHNE BRETT sat on the wingchair of her hotel room in Detroit and read and re-read that letter. Larry hadn't gone to Spain after all. If she had written to him before she left. If... 3 «3 How many times that word had come between her and her think-

more to her than her love. Sometimes she couldn't believe it was true. But it was. Larry had said, And it had been goodby. She could have gone after him, told him the truth, that she wanted money for Jennifer, but again she went, around in the same circle; it came out the same way always. Larry had not believed in her.

when she fell into her hotel bed or a Pullman berth on that crosscountry trek, it was only to lie in the dark and ponder on the misfortune that had withered the beauty of her love. Once her day had begun with breakfast on a train, in a hotel or in a railroad station lunch room, il. was a mad scramble to assemble trunks and staff, to establish prearranged contacts with the shops showing her display. She had brought models and makeup experts with her, clothes for the fashion show, the necessary requisites for showing the moving pictures. And always, always she had to be present with a smile and good cheer. » » n
