CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
WANT to see Mr. Costello,” Susie said to Dick. “He was my boss for five years.” Dick went: with her to the Waffle Shoppe office, enjoying the vicarious thrill of Susie. “Hello, Mr. Costello,” she said from the door of his office. “Don’t you remember Susie?”
He gulped and stared, he scrambled from his chair. He shook Susie’s hand and made ‘her turn around while he uttered soft ejaculations in Italian. Susie introduced Dick and Mr. Costello spoke to him without taking his eyes from her slim loveliness. Somehow the word got around. Waitresses flocked to the office, cooks came from the kitchen, the cash register was deserted. Dick, standing back from the crowd, said to himself, “She’ll be a sensation in Hollywood. It takes that kind of nerve in Hollywood.” Suzanne, in private life Mrs. Richard Tremaine, would make a lot of money and her husband would help spend it. In a-rush Susie dressed for the Delta Phi dinner. Powder blue velvet, long, accentuating every beautiful line of her figure, bobbing curls on top of her head, heavy silver bracelets, small silver sandals, perfume behind her ears, stars in her eyes. Dick waited in the lobby while she called Chicago. There was no answer'from Jeff’s apartment. She was quiet on the way to the fraternity house, thinking of Jeil, wishing she had been kinder. Susie's fame had spread. Her entrance to the Delta Phi. house received the fanfare accorded to royalty.

NOTHER reception was held in the dressing room. Susie remembered fleetingly the occasion of her last entrance into that room. It was much the same, smooth, luxurious little girls, the type she had so bitterly envied, but with a difference this time. They neither snickered nor whispered. They shook Susie’s hand, exclaimed over her clothes, crowded around as she sat at the dressing table. "The strange thing about it all was that Susie was not getting the
poor old Susie, the waffler, was buried for all time, her senses absolutely refused to quicken. Slipping away from the gushing, fawning girls, she found an upstairs telephone and again called Jeff's flat in Chicago. There was no answer. The party ran true to timehonored form.

pare for bed she changed her mind, redressed and packed her bag. Standing in front of the mirror, pulling her little hat over bobbing curls, she gazed into- wondering eyes. What had she done? After four: years it was difficult to break the ‘habit of loving Dick. Almost without conscious thought, driven by some unknown force, she wrote a note to Dick, left it with the hotel clerk, and took the night train for Chicago. At 7:30 in the morning a taxi deliversd Susie to the flat building where Jeff stayed on in spite. of Edna's belief that he had moved to his club. He left the kitchen to answer Susie’s ring. He stared at her, trying unsuccessfully to conceal the glad light in his eyes. Susie’s eyes were none the less happy. Newspapers lay about Jeff’s chair knee deep. The flat was dusty, forlorn looking. Susie dropped her hat and coat on the davenport. She was trembling. Had she thought the edge of desire dulled by conquest? No—oh, no—. ” ” ”
AY I have breakfast, Jeff?” she asked. “Yeah—sure.” Jeff was trembling, too. ‘“Where—where’d you drop from?” “I came down on the night train.” “And---Dick?” Jeff did not dare to hope. Susie shrugged, the gesture put-

He was looking hungrily at her red, inviting lips. His arms crushed her, he bent his head. “M-m, sweet—,” he murmured. It was all of 10 minutes before they got around to Jeff’s big news. The wire had come from John
Harker. Jeff was Harker’s new advertising manager.
“Oh, good—goody,” Susie cried, throwing both arms around Jeff's neck, pressing her satin-like cheek to his. After a while they went to the kitchen, Susie tied an apron over her imported frock and set about whipping up a batch of waffles. Jeff was dreadfully in the way.
