TWO MEN IN HER LIFE Marie had just ruined a manicure changing the typewriter ribbon, und o splinter In the rung of her office chair had started a run In her brand new stockings. And, to top It nil, hei telephone rang with a personal cal for her. J "This Is Private Thomson," a man's voicfe announced over the wire. "Private Tboinasou?'' Mario tasset her black hair and blinked her bit gray eyes Irritably. "I thought you were a corporal when I met you lust last night at the dance." "That was Inst niglit!" His gnv, Jaunty banter didn't fit In with hei spirits. Even though she was re membering some things about tin handsome, tall, broad-shouldered soldier with the thick blond hair and tin dark-brown eyes?reinombrlng n kiss for Instance, after about ten minute! acquaintance, and the way his arm? held her during dances, and thai dangemus spark In his eyes when ht told her that he lielieved In love al ftrst sight?even so. his call at that particular moment irritated her. "I*v? lost my stripes, honey. How about dinner tonight with me? I'll tell you all about how I talked back to mj sergcaot and lost them. What df you say?" - Before she could flash hack her aoVceptance. the door opened and then stood the boss. I' "Sorry to Interrupt, Miss Anderson, but I wanted to tell you that we'll have to work tonight." Just that and nothing ijiore. lie was gone. **.' ' Marie choked back her chagrin. There was always the sunny aide, of course. She would be with the 1**8 all evening. So what? The gloomy . side showed up again. s- Hi* ycellgroomed per aoo^. perfect manners, >flnc features and serious hark eyes, al; ways gave ' her a thrill. But ta what did that add up. After four P"bl|Mit$? of working for him. she was (. exactly where she started with, terj ribje goodlooktng stenographer's ^ dream. ?. \ "Say, honey, are you still on the > wire"? Private Thomson demanded i; from his end. liarle's cheeks burned with disapr pblotment as she answered: ?"' * "Yes, I'm here, but I can't make McAden's jk Dry Cleaners gi roa piobpt see vice B f, DIAL 9176 g |: 831 a ASHE ST.

Tonight would Just ( like all those other nights she hn^ , worked late. Dinner would be brought In from a cafe?a bang-up , meal from crub cocktail to peach par fait. Then she would' be sent home in one of the boss' cars alone with . the chauffeur. Dull, and getting her no place. The door opened again. ( "Oh, Miss Anderson," the boss again. This time he seemed to hesl tafe, as If for the first time he was I noting the brilliant glory of her hair, tfie stunning whiteness of her skin. Jhe vivid gray of her eyes, the soft curve of her throat above the collar , of her trim tailored blouse. "Yes, Mr. Mawden." * "I've decided that we'll work over at my house this evening. We can have dinner there. Perhaps he said more. Marie did1 Dot hear. Somehow, his eyes seemed to be burning Into hers. Or did she! only imagine such nonsense? Walter Hawden couldn't Ite In love with her. Mentally, she did some mathematics. She had done the same problem for four months. He was forty. She was twenty-two. Could she love a man old enough to be her father, a man rich enough to own a- string of cars, a crew of servants." h town house, nnd a country'estate? That shouldn't be a hard quiz In any man's language. Of course she could, nnd would. If she had the chance. It wasn't any fun being poor.. But later, alone In the dressing room of the office, putting on fresh lipstick and dabbing her flushed face with powder, her thoughts went back to Private .Thomson, lingered on that little-boy look In his eyes, despite the determined slant to his chin. But she ( pushed them aside to tell herself that I Walter Howden was worth trying for and that money outlasted love. (The story will continue in next week's paper. Rend, what happens to Marie.)
