At 4 the second was bought by Roxanne Rohde. “Even if Mrs. Todd wasn t im pressed, it was a good idea,” Mary pointed out to her partner. “She was not impressed,” Anet ka wailed dolefully. ••We shall see,” Mary replied. She felt deeply disappointed that there had been no word at all from Mrs. Todd. It was more than a week since the writer had visited them and the promised invitation to lunch had not arrived. “And if she were, what good would it do?” Anetka asked. “It would get the name of our shop over. If people read about our things, they would seek us out” “We do not need it,” Anetka comforted. “We have now so much as we can do. We cannot compute with the great houses.” “Compete, darling, is the word. And perhaps we can’t now, but we will someday.” Mary tried to feel that Claire’s ignoring her was of no impor tance, but so impatient was she to forge ahead as quickly as time could allow her energetic moves, she felt that her plans had re ceived a serious setback. Never in all the history of her r i se —the comet of her success which streaked across the firma ment of the couture —did she con sider that it had been phenomenal. She had no patience with long waiting, with walking about ob stacles that could be hurdled. She recognized no obstacles, and re fused to admit that there could have been any to rise against the horizon to which her path W’as direct. She was to know gratitude to the destiny that had propelled her along a straight, smooth path that led through the lives of Tony Cas tle and the Countess Anetka Illo vitch, without ever realizing that it was their heartaches, their ex perience, their experimentation Seabiscuit, America’s No. 1 Handicap Horse 1 V !?■ ..J •^^ 8 / WtW - J ~ ' - : : '.::::■••■>•■•■■ With Jockey J.

Later there were to be others who set the cement of her en deavor, but for them it was no gamble. Mark Sutherland had flown to Zurich the day after Claire and Hank Todd left suddenly. He didn’t return until a fortnight later. And by then Claire’s lines were blurred in his memory. Mary found him wholly unsatis factory. “She had to leave suddenly,” he explained. “Said something about writing you. Did you have a lunch date or something?” “That wasn’t the important thing, Mark. What did she say about my material?” Mark made a concerted effort to remember, but the best he could do was to say that she said “some thing about it being okay”. “Okay!” Mary wrung her hands. “That could mean any thing. I’d rather she said it didn’t have anything and then I’d begin all over again. Mediocrity is the death of my work. ‘Okay’, in deed!” p lot of other things to say you.” “Well, go on, I’m dying to hear. Perhaps that way I can get some idea!” “She said she thought you’d make a good wife fpr me.” His smile was amused, his eyes were serious, watching her re action. She glanced at him hurriedly, trying to read his expression. Then she tightened her lips, shook her head and burst into a ripple of laughter. “No wonder you didn’t hear any more! I’ll bet you fled like a frightened rabbit!” “Like a conquering lion,” he re plied. Neither of them had told the other a thing. That ability of Mary's never to commit herself was to keep Mark Sutherland by her side for many years. Later she told Anetka about that conversation. “I do not want him to marry you.” Anetka said firmly. “He has lots of money, social position, great houses in America that are like castles,” Mary said, leading her on. “But he is not a GOOD man. He is too gay. He would want to be what you call the boss.” “And don’t you think I want a dominating man?” Mary was amused. “ Non, non!” Anetka shook her fluffy head violently. “For me, yes. For you, no! You mus’ have a partner. You mus’ have some one to work with. I know you, Mari. Do you not know some one like that?” >. “Someone to be a partner? war” had begun.

DAILY DISPATCH, MONDAY, AUGUST 16, 1937 Someone to snare with?” Mary looked through the shin ing window onto the boulevard when the twilight cast a violet hue and lengthened the shadows where the afternoon’s snow laid a soft white blanket over the scene. It was symbolic to her. It was the twilight and winter snow of her heart. It was the season that had closed down upon her, shut ting out a springtime now nearly three years distant. Three years in which no word had opened that buried past in her. She was an ex-patriot and she had no ties in her homeland. Only that memory that stabbed her with a swift pain when Anetka asked her question. Anetka w r as right; she wanted no playboy, no dominating hus band. She wanted a_ partner, someone to share with. She had shared with Tony. She saw herself again, wrapped in the coppery shawl, sitting quiet ly on a tall chair, motionless while Tony’s brush rubbed softly on the canvas, putting her there. She heard again his murmurs as the light changed, saw his dark head bent to one side while he studied his work. Heard the rising inflec tion in his voice when her compli ments pleased him. He was like a boy, and she had his happiness to share. "It’s Sunday and our holiday. . . . Tired?” His voice came hack to her and once again she was in her kitchen ette, wrapping chicken in waxed paper, packing it away in a bas ket, carefully, so that the heat from the thermos bottle would not touch it. Her heart remembered the song that had lightened it. Quick tears sprung to her eyes and she turned away so that Anet ka would not see the loneliness that glistened in them. But Anetka had seen and un derstood, little Anetka who had lost a whole world and found a new one; Anetka’s whose com passion was no greater than her gratitude. Anetka had everything she. wanted; she had Sergei and, through Mary, the means to build ing another world. She owed everything she had to the young American, and she was generous. The next morning she implored Mary not to come to the shop. She had a surprise, she said. And when Mary, filled with curiosity and some misgiving, stepped from her cab, she looked * toward the window and her heart skipped a beat. The golden letters spelling ANETKA had been removed and in their place she read: MARI BARAT COUNTESS ANETKA ILLO VITCH (To Be Continued* Born to Dead Mother — Florrie Jane Elizabeth Parker was born July 31, three minutes after a heart attack killed her mother.
