Maris thinks they snOi^ld enjoy -the pres ent rather than «ny themselves for you marry me, darling?” And’he held out his hands to her. ^ For a moment, looking at him, Maris wished that she might rush to the security .of his arms, might pillow her head on his breast and tell him all the bitterness she had endured— --the. future. She beconcies uncertain of her love for Rod. Perli^s there would be more happiness with someone else. That was soon after she’d n^ Rod, and he was perfwt in her eyes.^ow she had wished then that one day h^d • ask her to marry him, for ^n sh^ thought surely it would be heaven to have a husband like him. She smiled ' in the dark. Now Rod had asked her to marry him, and she had refused. Had she made a fatal mistake? Was Qit better to marry within your own class and rise or sink together? But, asleep, a smile on her lips as though she were still at one with Rod, loving him with all the fervor of her youth. , “Say, 'Maris, I guess you made a ' tremendous hit last night. Look what the papers say about you,” Maris was entering the correspondence and Milly darted to her morning papers. but—no, it Would never do. She could not moot bis ardent gate.

Anyway, she would never want Rod to think that she had changed her mind and . was ready to marry hiip just because he. had made some money. Then as he ceased his pleading, she glanced casually at him. “Oh, Rod, easies,” Stan said as he cruised on. “I wonder he turned to (From This Week’s issue of The Blue Stocking) William Rivers, colored, known to which you’d like best,” and'', j ..w v to her with . r»ther*foolieh down through grin on his face. the years as “Uncle Bill,” has Local Team Defeats Rock Hill In Close Game Here, 7-6, “Oh, the one with the best oyches- them come and has seen them go.

Rock Hill, during the rest of the game, kept H. King bottled up, but Freeman got loose for several runs. Hock Hill used peculiar tactics in coming out of the huddle, a snake •dance ' formation; During the ■’game Rock Hill tried 17 passes; and in the last half, tiying desperately to score, A.

Rock Hill’s try for the promise to be the largest and best yet offered by the fair life. -Presently Miss Riggs hurried down the aisle. “Mr. Stanley wants you in his office right away,” she said breathlessly. . “All right,’ ’answered Maris non chalantly, but, beneath her apparent half-hearted invitation. “No, thank you, Maris, I’ll be go ing,” and before she realized it he had opened the door and vanished. Once more Maris felt disturbed by something in the expression of his lips. Then she shook herself. She was calmy*her heart was beating like a getting horribly critical. Stan a sledgf hammer. What would he say I good fellow. He’d show her a good to her? Had those girls aired their time. opinions to him, or did they despise him and blame him as they bia'med her? She opened the door of his office, and he rose up quickly, and, taking her hand in his, shook it enthusias tically. “Well, Maris, you put it over big and I’m mighty proud of you. But where did you vanish to last night? Didn’t you know I was going to take you home?” the caressing note in his voice seemed .tp_.blot out all the harsh accusations that the girls had made against her. “Oh, 1 never thought of that. It’s very kind of you to have thought of cn a thing, but I’m sure you had V As he handed "her into his smart limousine, she wished that Milly or some of the other girls might see her. suet 4 plenty to see to, and I got home all right.” “Well, there was quite a lot to see to, but 1 did think after th^ 'affair was over I might have a chance to tell you how splendidly you’d done. But maybe you’ll let me show my ap preciation totijight? 'How about hav ing dinner with me and then dancing afterwards?” The color dyed Maris’ cheeks and ahe coul dnot keep the sparkle out of her eyes as she said, “You don’t have to feel you must reward me for what 1 did. I had a good time wearing that lovely gown. I enjoyed the affair im mensely,” she added ’ as though she woul(#convince herself she was really speaking the truth. “But surely you won’t deny me the pleasure of having you as my guest tonight? There’s something else I want to talk over with you, and, well, there never seems to be time for any thing but conferences and so forth in the office. Tell me I may call for you ionigtrt:*’" His eye's seemed to bum into hers, and quickly banishing all Patsy’s words of warning and her own new antagonism against his set, she said, “Vety well, I'll be glad t6 go with you.” . “That’s right,” he said, but some- ' thing.-saemed to jar her. Had she been too ready to acquiesce to his wishes? As she retumedr to her desk, she had a strange sort of disturbed feel ing. She’d never noticed his lips be fore. Were th?y smiling at her? But ahe shook - herself. She wm getting fanciful. That surely showed she wasn’t accustomed to late nights! Well, she must change all 'that As Mans opened the door of her apartment, she beard the murmur of voices, and when she crossed the threshold Patsy called out, “Is that you, Maris? Come on in.” ~ “Oh, hullo. Rod!” she said as he rose. “What’s new?” A little shadow and listen to the line she was giving her young boss. He hadn’t a great deal to say, a stock phrases, a few snappy come-backs, that, had Maris known it, had done duty many times. At last, however, they swung into Park ave nue and Maris was thrilled at the speed at which They went. “Say,” Stan said, “you’ve got to pose in the wedding dress for I don’t want to send out cuts of Rowene’s picture to all our customers, and they’re all writing in raving about it. You didn’t know you were in the movies, in the newsreel, did you?”' “Why no, how, exciting!” cried Maris. “Oh, you don’t know what you’ve started. But say, here we are! We’ll have dinner here, and then take in a^ night club or two. You’d like that?” “Sure F would.” “Well, little girl, there isn’t a thing I wouldn't’'do for you after you were such a peach helping me out the way you did.” — “Oh, it was nothing,” Mr. Fayson.” “Say, how do you get that way? I’m ‘Stan’ to you now and always, and don’t you forget it, you little bit of sugar.” “You mean I should call you ‘Stan’?” asked Maris. ,,“Sure, I don’t want any ‘misters’ around here, and just remember that,” he announced as they entered a hoteT together. “Now,” he said, after they were seated at a rather inconspicuous ta ble, “what do you like, Maris? Any thing you want is yours for the ask- mg. “Oh, why don’t you order for me?” she answered, amazed at the niagniTu cence of the jewels and dress of the women around them. “Well, if you’d like me to, I will. I rather "pride myself on'^knowing how to order a swell dinner.”' “All right, I love sunirises,” Maria answered* leHered that ahe had es caped thik ordeal, for never in all her life had ahe dined at auch a sumptuous hotel. . “Well, that little thing’s attended to. What brand do you smoke?” Maris named a popular brand. “Here they ara,” replied Stan, tak ing a jewel-studded cigarette caae from his pocktt. “That’s one thing we have in com mon,” and he laughed rather vacu ously as though he had got off a clever crack. —, ^ ^ “Like to dance now'?” he asked as to have a sobering effect on him. When they neared home, he seelbdd'to be perfectly level-headed, as he quick ly broached a new plan he had for stressing the style end of the busi ness. “How’d you like to work with the stylist?” “I’d love it.” “Better than typing?” “A thousand times better,” she de clared, glancing at him with spark ling eyes.^ “Then we'll have to see about that tomorrow—or, I guess today.” “I’ve had a wonderful evening, Stap. I've enjoyed every minute,” she .said as he walked with her to the raispti up his trowel and hollered, ‘I’se puttin’ th’ 1-a-s-t brick on this build- M” in Uncle Bill paused and rubbed his door of the apartment house. “Well, we’ll have another, sweet ness,” and before sh^ realized what hi was doing, she felt his lips on hers. ‘ . “Oh, Stan,” she said, the color dye ing her cheeks.
