Knthie's heart was as pure and colti
as tho complexion cream she demon
strated at I,aey's. There was that
about her aloofness that made even
the floorwalker know it would be a

I Island any holiday afternoon. When
! near-champion boxers, or traveling
I salesmen, or even Officer O'Orady let
j hope get the better of their judgment
they always found Kathio s lack of
sentiment most disheartening. She
confined her recreation enthusiasms
to frankfurter sandwiches and salt
water chewing taffy. Dark tunnels

ladies with many chins and daughters
married into the peerage have leaned
over the side of their limousines to

Jock Francis O'Grady was one of
the fresh-faced young giants who

as imposing as the outfit of a major
general at a wedding.
O'Grady's warm smile made old
workmen stop in the center of the
street to tell him he reminded them
of their own little Willie who died at

and regarded her gravely, "the

it an experiment."
His arms closed around her. He
was very gentle for he could feel her
shiver.
"You see, you can trust me to be
very impersonal. Strictly in the in
terests of your neglected education."
In another instant Kathie stood on
the other side of the table, very red,
With her handkerchief pressed to her
lips.
"That," said John ' Frances husk
ily, "is a kiss."
"Yes," breathed Kathie.
"I'm only a born dub, Kathie. but if
you liked that one just a little bit,"

Kathie suddenly lifted her face and!
looked at him with starry eyes. Her :
hands clasped tightly across her chest j
and she trembled like a nervous child
on the brick of a confession.
"Why, Jawn," she gulped, smiling
faintly, "why, Jawn I'm thinking it
wasn't bad."
Silence.
After some minutes Kathie spoke
again. Her voice was remote and
dreamy.
"I always said, dear, she observed.

nine commuters from Long Island
City, gazing upon him, picked up
enough spirit to look in the glass and
wonder if banting or a diet of lemon
skins would do them any good.
Hut Kathie seemed to resist his
charm without a struggle. He tried
calling on her in his uniform and in
plain clothes, but she treated him
just as if he were the floorwalker or
the near champion boxer or the drum
mer for Canmayer's rose tint blush
powder.
The cosmetic demonstrator, while
untouched by love, sometimes had
thoughts of matrimony. She knew
that the years of a demonstrator of
beauty lotions must he brief. Every
morning she peered into her mirror
for signs around tho eyes that would
indicate the approach of the time
when she would be asked to display
patent box couches or egg beaters
or the knife that enables even a bride
to peal potatoes in thirty-nine differ
ent ways.
In other parts of Lacy's were other
demonstrators, many of them charm
ing and sightly young creatures. But
each had begun life demonstrating
beauty stuffs, and Kathie felt that a
wedding ring would be preferable to
a booth in the basement and an un
derground future as a bally hoo for
prosy things like cereals and patent
stove lids.
I'd make a good wife because I'd
love to have a home of my own. Why
can't I get silly and sentimental like
other girls?" she complained.
One night she decided to take her
suitor into her confidence. But the
floor walker, when he called, told
stories of other conquests in a mis
taken hope that he might arouse her
jealousy. The next night the drummer
tried to sell himself by dwelling on
his salary and fondness for restaurant
life and the clothes and shows she
could enjoy. On the third night John
O'Grady sat tongue tied and miser
able in the little boarding-house par
lor. Kathie had donned a soft white
waist which made him think of the
angel's pictures newly painted above
the main alter in the home churcn.
"It's fine weather," he said three
times in five minutes before Kathie
decided to help him out."
"John O'Grady," she said sternly,
"I want you to put me wise to some
thing. I have never fallen in love in
my life and I suppose it is all be
cause I haven't been able to get next
to the dope."
"Dope?" O'Grady's eyes were round
and blue and his mouth opened rather
helplessly.
"I want to know something about
how people fall in love. You say you
have? Don't you see. I might get
the hang of it if you toll me Just how r
it happens."
Policeman O'Grady scratched the
back of his neck. The gas sputtered
