THE STORY SO FAR: Charlotte
(Cherry) Rawlings, an orphan since she
was seven, had been at Saint Dorothea's
school for girls. She knows almost noth
ing about her early history. Judge Jud-
son Marshbanks, her co-guardian with
Emma Haskell, a trained nurse who
had taken care of her mother, arranges
for her to leave the school, and take op
secretarial position with the wealthy
Mrs. Porteous Porter In San Francisco.
But first she goes to the Marshbanks
mansion. She dines alone with the judge
as Fran, his young wife, and his niece,
Amy, are dining out. Kelly Coates, an
artist, drops In, and Fran and Amy stop
on their way out, nodding only casually
when Cherry Is Introduced. It Is evident
to Cherry that Coates and Fran are In
terested In each other. As Fran and
Amy leave she hears laughing reference
to herself snd her convent clothes, and
Is hitler. Her surroundings are luxuri
ous when she goes to work for Mrs. Por
ter, but soon she finds life most mo
notonous. Kelly, horseback riding In the
park with Fran, stops to talk with her
as she Is motoring with Mrs. Porter and
later sends her a box of candy. Mrs.
Porter gives a big party for her niece,
Dorothy Page-Smith. Cherry finds Doro

CHAPTER VI
The hours went by; chill daylight
came into the room. She got up
jaded and weary, bathed and
brushed her thick hair and somehow
was at breakfast with Emma as
usual at eight o'clock. Emma gave
her a sharp look as if she thought
that even last night's activities
should not have left such traces,
but she said nothing; both women
rustled the morning papers and
drank their coffee almost in silence.
The customary miracle of service
was going on in the house, was ac
complished when Cherry walked
through the downstairs rooms at
noon after a full, fire-warmed morn
ing in Mrs. Porter's apartment, the
ordinary procedure of letters and
compliments and telephone calls.
The great house had reassumed its
aspect of luxurious mausoleum.
Cherry felt stifled. She told Emma
she did not want any lunch; she
took a long walk instead, for Mrs.
Porter, all cheerful restoration and
amazing vitality at breakfast, had
admitted in mid-morning that she
felt sleepy not one bit tired, but
sleepy. So the machinery of the day
had been stopped. Cherry was free
until late in the afternoon.
She walked toward the Presidio
end down its narrow eucalyptus
shaded paths to the cliffs, and so
along by the bay shore. Right
across the bay, under the arch of
the long red bridge, was Sausalito,
and somewhere there was Kelly's
studio. "Topcotc."
Cherry sat down on a wall and
stared wistfully at the hills as if her
thoughts could cross the miles, and
somehow find him and somehow let
him know how eager she was to
make her apologies. "Topcote" could
easily be reached on a long after
noon's walk; it would be but a short
half-dozen miles in all. Her fancy
began to play.
Some day her next all-free day
she would start early and walk
straight across the bridge, and when
she reached the great ramps on the
Mai in County side, she would ask
someone where Spanish Farm Road
was, and follow it to some gate or
fence that said, "Topcote."
Emma, quiet and stern-faced and
impersonal, had to concede herself
sufficiently like the rest of human'
kind to succumb to a heavy chest
cold when changeable March weath
er was vexing the city, and for
few days the household was serious
ly alarmed about her. Her old em
ployer was ill too, and a nurse who
had often cared for Mrs. Porter was
installed in the rooms of the mis
tress; there was a second nurse as
well to relieve the first.
For the little time that Mrs. Por
ter needed diversion, her nurses
read to her or chatted with her and
Cherry formed the habit of spend
ing the early evening hours with
Emma, as Emma grew convales
cent. Although the older woman
never acknowledged in words that
she liked her companion or missed
her or waited for her, Cherry grew
to enjoy these evenings, and sus
pected that Emma did, too.
Emma was about fifty, but she
might have been any age between
thirty and seventy. Her face was
thin, narrow and marked by stern
ness and reserve. Her graying hair
she wore coronet fashion in tight
braids in which never a hair was
awry.
A strange, cold, repressed wom
an. Cherry used to think, as Emma,
belted into a gray wrapper, sat back
panting against her pillows and at
tacked the day's bills, menus, re
ports. Cherry brought up a lamp
that illumined the ceiling and sent
soft light down for the invalid's
eyes, brought up a glass bowl of
crocus blossoms and set it on the
table, put a Chinese plate of brown
bulbs in the sunshiny south window
where Emma could employ times of
languor in watching their almost
hourly change. And finally, shyly,
she brought Emma a tiny kitten, a
bundle of wet, wailing fur that she
had found by the Presidio wall.
Emma laughed a short, scornful
laugh at this last contribution. She
never could stand cats, she said.
But Cherry, noting the confidence
with which the small stray, newly
warmed and fed, was advancing to
ward Emma's languid hand, prom-

mill- iW?"
She was some blocks away from home when a low slung, open, disrep
utable car drew up close to her on the curb and a voice said, "Jump in."
ised with great confidence that she
would remove the little creature the
minute he became troublesome.
From that moment the cat was vis
ibly the absorbing consideration of
Emma's life.
"Did you go first to the Marsh
banks as a nurse, Emma?" Cherry
asked idly one night. Emma looked
at her quickly, hesitated before
speaking.
"Yes," she answered then. "I'd
taken the boys, Fred and Judson,
through tonsil operations, and then
through scarlet fever, at the hos
pital when I was in training. The
old lady took a liking to me, and
when they'd come back from abroad
a few years later and I'd been wid
owed, the old madame as we used
to call Mrs. Marshbanks, though I
don't suppose she was more than
fifty then sent for me to take care
of the colonel. He'd been struck
down with sleeping sickness; he was
on a couch for years. Then Miss
Louise she was the only daughter
and had married an engineer from
Springfield came home to have the
baby. The old lady was so pleased
about it they both talked so much
about the grandchild. And then to
have both die yes, that was a bad
time.
"I stayed on as a nurse and house
keeper; I had my sister to support,
and it was a comfortable place. I
wasn't twenty when I graduated and
came to them."
"How'd you know my mother,
Emma? Did you meet her at the
Marshbanks'?"
Emma looked thoughtfully at her
companion.
"No; I knew her before that," she
finally said. And then, after an
other pause: "Your mother was my
sister Charlotte."
Cherry stared at her. The words
did not seem to make sense.
"My mother" she began in a
whisper, and stopped.
"Yes. Your mother was my sis- I
ter. You were named for her.
"But Emma," Cherry said breath
lessly, confusedly conscious of
shock and reluctance, "you never
told me!"
"Well, you don't always tell chil
dren everything," Emma said aft-
er a moment. "You weren't but a
little thing when your mother died."
"I could have known that!" Cher
ry exclaimed. A thousand bright
dreams vanished with the revela
tion, and she felt hurt and wronged.
But amazement still had first place
in her thoughts.
"Maybe I never told you because
I didn't think you'd be especially
pleased," Emma said dryly. The
girl's color came up warmly.
"It's not that! Of course I'm
I'm glad," she stammered. "I've
never had any family, and and of
course I'm glad!"
And, immediately, to her own
amazement, she burst into tears.
She had often imagined what her
connections might be; she had nev
er dreamed this. Emma so con
tained and cold and distant her
own aunt! Cherry pushed the table
away blindly and went to the win
dow, and stood looking out at the
dark night, and the far city lights
that shot arrows and flashes through
her tears.
"Mother mother never told me!"
she stammered. "I wish she had!"
Cherry looked down at her cards
with blinded eyes, and made her
self move them here and there as
if she were playing. She finished
her came, and said with a shaking
voice that she was tired and thought
she would go to bed. Emma still
making no comment, Cherry put
away the table and asked Emma if
there was anything more she could
do.
"No," Emma said, "nothing."
The girl came to the bedside,
looked down.
"Good night then," she added in
a light, level tone, with a resolute
smile. "Would you I would if you
liked shall I call you Aunt
Emma?" she added hesitatingly.
Emma eyed her steadily for a
few long seconds.
"No," I don't know that I'd make
any change," she said then, in the
same emotionless voice that Cherry
had used.
"Need more ice?"
"No; I'm going to listen to the
radio and then I'm going to sleep.
"Good night," Cherry said, with
a parting second attempt at a pleas
ant smile.
She walked to her own room,
slipped into bed and lay with nar
rowed eyes and a bitten lower lip,
pondering. Thought, long denied,
came with a rush, and she was
drowned in the bitterness of it.
Other girls had mothers and fa
thers and homes. And she had she
had only the drab background of
Saint Dorothea's and this humiliat
ing revelation tonight!
Slow tears began to creep down
Cherry's cheeks; presently she be'
gan to sob heavily. She cried her
self to sleep.
One morning Cherry found herself
free at noon, and determined to take
one of the long walks she loved.
She was some blocks away
from home when a low-slung,
open, disreputable car drew up
('lose to her on the curb and a
voice said, "Jump in."
The world wheeled about her for
a few dizzy seconds, for it was Kelly
Coates who had spoken; he was
driving the car and beside him sat
Fran Marshbanks smothered in soft
fox skins, with a daring red hat
topped on her dark hair.
"I want Mrs. Marshbanks to come
over and have lunch with me," the
man explained it honestly with his
wide, flashing smile, "and she won't
come unless you dq."
"Are you free from those old
ogres for awhile?" Fran asked in
her careless, fascinating, hoarse
voice.
"I'm free until half past four."
Cherry did not want to go and yet
was wild with eagerness to go. The
thought that he was in love with
Fran made being in Kelly's compa
ny exquisitely painful to her, but
she had hungered to see these per
sons again, to be one of them, to
know what was going on, and this
golden opportunity would not come
twice.
"I'd love to," she said, smiling
as she climbed in and wedged her
self snubly beside Fran. The mo
ment she did it she regretted it,
wondering through what fatuity of
complacence she had accepted the
invitation to play a third in their
affair. Why had they asked her? she
wondered.
"Mrs. Marshbanks," Kelly said,
"once went to a movie in which
girl visited an artist in his studio,
and everything went wrong for fifty
years afterward. Was that it,
Fran?"
"Something like that." said
Fran's exquisite voice lazily.
"So she didn't want to come home
and lunch with me," Kelly went on,
"Perhaps I know my own weak
ness," Fran contributed idly.
They crossed the bridge and on
the eastern shore moved along
wide, smooth highway for a few
miles, turned left and mounted an
earth road that wound up the hill,
Scattered cottages, hidden among
oaks and eucalyptus, faced the road
here and there. Kelly's place was
at the head of a small tree-lined can
yon, and consisted of a cottage of
perhaps three rooms, a large white
barn, various sheds and fences that
suggested that the place had once
been a small farm. There was an
arbor covered with young grape
vines, sheltering a long table and
two benches, young berry bushes
just in leaf, a languishing little gar
den whose neglected rose and ge
ranium bushes were choked with
last season's dried grass and some
apple and apricot trees getting
ready to bloom.
Cherry was under the spell of
the peace of Kelly Coate's place,
its simplicity, its beauty almost be
fore she had gotten out of the car;
she had never dreamed of anything
so informal, so comfortable, so
complete.
They were all hungry; they fell
upon preparations for luncheon to
gether. All this went on in the
small kitchen, for a bleak wind had
blown up from the south and it was
too chilly and overcast out of doors
for the arbor to be the dining room,
much to Kelly s disappointment.
They were very much in love, Kel
ly and Fran; Cherry could see that.
Or at least Kelly was. Perhaps
Fran was only pretending; Cherry
ceuld not be sure, but this was evi
dently a game of which she knew
every move.

PNCHANTING fillips for the mid-1
- season wardrobe are the gay I
new print frocks designed in fine
rayon fabrics to bloom with spring-
flower freshness under winter coats
and furs. Fetching styles bring a
breath of spring to the daytime pic
ture for both tailored and dressy
wear, with the season's new slim
lines flattered by soft styling and
intriguing new trimming details.
Because light tones are a welcome
contrast to the deep shades we've
been wearing all winter; and be
cause it's patriotic to buy clothes
that will be appropriate for more
than one season; and because a pos
sible scarcity of dyes brings pas
tels into prominence; many of the
fine new rayon prints are done with
pastel and white touches or light
colored grounds that will be as fresh
and right in midsummer as they
are for immediate wear.
The attractive dressmaker shirt
waist frock centered in the above
illustration is just such a type, de
signed as it is to be worn now un
der furs, later on under a smart
spring coat and right throughout the
summer with no coat at all. Little
white birds are printed on the rose
colored soft rayon crepe of which
this charming dress is made.
For dressy wear there is renewed
interest in prints with feathery
fronds splashed across contrast
backgrounds. The smart afternoon
frock for immediate wear shown
above right is made of a print of this
description heightened in beauty
with confetti accents scattered in
snowy white on a deep navy ground.
Radiating tucks in the slimly flared
skirt and self -fabric spaghetti trim at
the draped V-neck are chic details.
In the initial spring showings
many lace prints are shown, also
vine and leaf patternings most art
fully designed. For immediate wear
under your coat soft rayon shantung
in bright "victory" blue Is printed
with a white lacy doily pattern for
the slim-line little suit frock shown
to the left in the above picture. Its
long basque-like jacket and grace
ful skirt with front fullness are high
style accents. Snowy linen-type spun
rayon is flatteringly scalloped for the
becoming turned-back collar and
cuffs.
Many fascinating things are being
done with prints, such as styling
them with tie fastenings and cun
ning little bows, or draping them
over to one side where they fasten
with long tassels keyed to some col
or in the print. Or they are apt to
be trimmed with narrow self-print
pleatings edged with lace in black,
white or a pastel shade. The print
with a sheer pastel top or yoke is
also an intriguing theme. There is
a profusion of dainty lace fluttering
along sleeve, pocket and neckline
edges, and very new is the lace edg
ing that finishes off the hemlines of
narrow skirts.
The cathedral prints are so called
because they're the colors of stained
glass windows, and swank patterned
rayons copy alligator skin effects.
Everybody adores the prints with
sequin-studded print flowers that
glisten against navy or black
grounds. If you are clever, you
can get enchanting effects by em
broidering just one or two flower
motifs yourself with sequins or glit
tering beads. The result is really
effective and gives just enough spar
kle to keep your print dress in per
fect taste.
A gorgeous print with a distinc
tively new look delineates cord-and-tassel
motifs that gracefully and col
orfully twirl about against dark
backgrounds. As to flower themes,
look for roses to be played up in
dramatic effects.

Demand Increases
For Work Clothes
Because of the increasing de
mand, some of the larger stores
throughout the country are putting
in a special work-clothes shop. There
is a trend more and more for women
who are working at plants to get
into uniforms during their service
hours. The interest in practical,
utilitarian apparel is grounded to a
great extent on Increasing recogni
tion by women of the necessity for
clothes that won't catch in the ma
chinery. Then, too, women want
slacks and coveralls for the free
dom of action they allow. They like
two piece work suits of medium
blue heavy cotton with fitted jacket
and side buttoned slacks. The one
piece coverall with short sleeves and
cuffless slacks also finds favor. Den
ims and sturdy cottons are victory
gardening, backyard barbecue wear
and to wear as rough and ready
sportswear.
