Mary Barrett, ambitious to become a
i dress designer, is in Paris where she
has ju»t obtained a job with Countess
Anetk».,*owner of a small dress shop.
; She had been recommended to Anetka
by Mark Sutherland, American playboy
and mutual friend who admired Mary
from the first following their meeting
on shipboard. Mary likes Mark but
misses Tony Castle, owner of a smart
New York shop who gave her her start
several months previously. She left
Castle’s shop suddenly, disillusioned,
after an altercation with Tony s head
buyer, Francine Long, and sailed for
Paris impulsively. More and more she
realizes she is in love with Tony.
Marv does so well in the shop that
Anetka otters her a partnership. Be
fore long Mary has visions of wide suc
cess with the shop. Mehnwhile, as
Christmas Eve arrives, Tony still
searches for Mary in New York.
(NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY)
CHAPTER 16
, MARY was showing an Ameri
can acquaintance from Brooklyn,
the sights of Paris. And here they
were at a Parisian boulevard case
with Anetka and Sergei.
“Dubonnet Citron,” Mary said,
and hastily touched the tip of
Paul Joslin’s brogue with the
toe of her slipper. “See there!
That agent de police has the long
est mustaches in all France!” She
spoke in a whisper while the
waiter hovered anxiously but po
litely in the background waiting
for M. Joslin to order his aperitif.
“Picon Grenadine,” Paul said,
dismissing him and giving his at
tention to v the imposing mus
taches. “Whew! Imagine one of
New York’s ‘finest’ done up in a
cookie duster like that!”
“What is a cookie duster?”
Sergei asked.
“Sergei, he does not understand
American argot. One does not use
French argot; it is not polite,”
Anetka explained to their guest.
Mary defined the slang expres
sion for Anetka’s fiance and was
rewarded with a deep laugh of ap
preciation from the bearded Rus
sian.
“Perhaps I’d better pick up
some of the argot. I’ll be a sen
sation back home,” Paul said
lightly.
“Perhaps you’d better not!”
Mary said firmly. “There are too
many other and finer things to
take back from France.”
“You like it here, don’t you,
Mary?”
“Os course, I. do, Paul. Wasn’t
it Ben Franklin who said, ‘Every
man has two countries: his own,
and then France'?”
“By golly, I like it myself. But
that Metro!” He shook his head.
‘T can’t get used to buying first
class tickets on a subway.”
“It’s one class in New York,”
Mary said for Anetka’s benefit,
“and every man for himself.”
She thought: If we keep talk
ing about these things, I’ll have a
first-class case of homesickness.
She remembered the mornings and
the evenings in which she had
fpught for a seat or even stand
ing room at Times Square, and
wished passionately that she
might be there at the moment in
stead of sitting leisurely at a side
walk case on a Parisian boule
vard.
“One day we will all go to New
York and M. Joslin will take us
for a long ride on the subway,”
Anetka said happily.
“All the way from Van Court
land park to Coney Island,” he
promised.
To which Mary added;
“We’ll take you to the depart
ment stores where you will see
OUR models copied, Anetka.”
Paul sighed. “Always business,
Mary?”
“Mostly,” she said.
“How . can yoU? Only an
American could sit here in the
spring twilight and think of busi-:
ness,” , he deplored.
Another time, she thought,, or
another place with another person
and this beautiful golden haze
would hurt with its beauty, but
now I am insulated to beauty that
hurts. . ij'- i
■i “Paris never sleeps,” Sergei said
With an effort to be informative.
“How can it with *so many]
things to be seen?” Paul took a I
deep breath as though to breathe

Mary introduced Paul to Paris. ?
it in. “I like the way the French
enjoy themselves. They’re like
kids. Everything is gay to them.
Gay and beautiful. I’m taking
back pictures they can’t put in
books. The tree-lined boulevards,
the beautiful buildings, the won
derful cases. The places, that are
►awake from dawn to dawn. And
bands! Boy how I love band
music!”
Mary smiled at him. “Paul,
you’re such a beautiful guest! So
satisfactory. I’m so glad you
looked me up. I thought you’d
forgotten me.”
"Kate wrote my sister that you
were living with her, so it wasn’t
hard to trace you. As for forget
ting you—you were the prettiest
girl in our class at Eramus High.”
“And you were the football
hero!”
“Football! We must see the
football in America. Perhaps
next spring, yes?” Anetka broke
in.
“Not in the spring, Countess,
the autumn!”
“And not next autumn, either,”
Mary said.. “We have plans for
next autumn that do not include
trips to America.”
“You getting along all right,
Mary?” Paul asked anxiously.
“Just splendid, Paul, but it’s up
hill work.”
“How long you been over
here?”
“It will be two years in June
. . . no, July. Anetka and I in
corporated a year ago last Decem
ber. At first wheh I came I
thought it would take even less
time to force recognition but now
I know better. However, we’re
satisfied, aren’t we, petruska?”
Anetka nodded her small blond
head vigorously.
Indeed they had done well.
How well, Mary had not con
sidered until Paul Joslin came to
Paris. In her year and a half of
association with Anetka, she had
developed a Gaelic frugality. Her
daring vision, which was to serve
her well later, had been blurred
by the strict adherence to matters
of the moment.
To the small shop off the boule
vard of St. Germain, there came
an increasing number of clients.
Busy with sketch pad, buying and
supervising the execution of their
mounting orders, Mary had little
time to dream happily over the

increasing figures in their joint
account.
She had worked indefatigably
now for oyer a year. She had
made a few friends. Ellin had
married her Bill and Kate had
gone back to America. But "it
wasn’t until her old neighbor,. Paul
had. turned up in Paris with his
pockets filled with money and en
thusiasm the like of which Mary
had forgotten, that she took time
off to play.
This time, it was she who intro
duced a newcomer to Paris. And
this time she found it great fun.
Paul wanted to see the flamboyant
gaiety| of Paris and so they sawi
the underworld where they went]
to the] shabby wine shops, to the j
basement cases and the cabarets.!
They spent a hilarious evening
on the. way to . the Folies Bergere. '
And enjoyed the inextricable posi-j
tion into which their taxi driver |
maneuvered their cab in the time
honored fashion. There were
wheezes and blowing of horns and!
the gendarme?® whistle and much
brandishing: of truncheons: then .
they fought? their way through the;
vendors into the building. j
They went to marionette shows,
band, concerts and dance halls.
And, at .Paul said the Dlace ’
he ysee was!. Mary’s
shop. The folks, in, Brooklyn
would want to know about it, he
said. ’ i( f, ;
And when Mary piloted him up
the narrow stains and irito the now
crowded “front*’ room, showed him
hpr sketches, the books of orders
and the busy workroom, he
scratched his head and cleared
his throat
“Look -here,” he said, “I. think
you girls have got something
•here! But you’re in the wrong
spot. You ought to be on the
ground floor. I’ve got a little
money to invest, Mary. I haven’t
been doing so badly, and I’d be
glad to give you a hand.”
“Pauli I don’t suppose I’d have
thought of it, if you hadn’t pointed
it out to me right now. But that’s
what we should do and we’ve got,
plenty of capital to do it with.
Thanks very much for the offer,
but more for the suggestion.
“Anetka, Inc. is about to edge
in!”
That night she decided that the
firm would plunge.
