SYNOPSIS FEAT) TIITS FIRST ROCKFTI.W, !:•• r r scirity as a aroall-tinit dancer an I singer with FRAN ma;:::, her partner a rut friend. KIT r.F.IL'.Y v. .:. - :!•« S*mbter radio contest and a on< -year contract to sing on the company s pivsratu as the suc cessor to NANA HARRIS, well-known sr-nc sties- who is retirins. Kit was help-d in getting an audition for the con test "by VANCE flEALF.Y. famous radio sports announcer. Nana tells Kit of inanv of the problems she will face an-.', advises her that she musr put her c a reer befoie anything including marriage, at least for a while. CHAPTER FOURTEEN THE DECORATOR was a very elegant your.g man. lie was him self very decorative, arranged as he was on the love seat with pre cisely the exact degree of languor that contributed equally to grace, comfort and easy reach of the tea table. Fran Lc Ma/e, presiding with some uncertainty at that table, en compassed every detail of his ele gance with a fiercely observant eye. She relaxed the stiffened little finger that protruded beyond the handle of her teacup, curving it i:i an effort to achieve th graceful effect he managed so easily Kit, catching the minute gesture as she raised her eyes from her music, smiled and bent her head again quickly sr> that I*'ian could not see her smile. If there was amusement dar.ei.-.g in her eyes as they rested briefly on he- former dancing partner and present man ager, there was a'.ro respect in them. She i.U'l little doubt hut that Fran soon would catch up with the social graces momentarily and sadly lacking. This lack, coupled with Fran's rather free speech, were the only indications that she had not been trained for her pres «r»f .fotfovrlchm The Le Maze adjustment to the new life of the partners was more marked than her progress in the matter of physical change in her appearance. Wary, shrewd, and with an instinct for management, Fran had gathered into canable hands the threads that went into the weaving of the pattern of Kit's career. It was Nana Harris who had suggested Armand Helfier to coach Kit's voice. It was Fran who had lent a lowered ear to all that uhc could learn about agents and se lected Morris White to handle her charge. She sorted the press agents who had come flocking to them and engage- wiry, enthusiastic little Jimmie Ferris to blazon the name of Kitty O'Reilly from coast to coast. On the subject of cooks and sec retaries she had put her foot down. "What's the matte <• with r..y doing something to earn my living? ] can outcook any gal my size and I haven't forgouc:; to tap a typewriter. I had a year in high school. When we get an apartment we can have a maid, maybe." It was the matter of the apart ment that engaged them at the mo ment. Kit had found it herself on one of the after dinner walks that wrre devoted to exercise, to prac tise and singing lessons. After he: noontime dinner there was a rvst period, and on the days when she did not rehearse with the orches'.r?. ior the Saturday program, ihc.v hours were fi'leu with prattieo u'. the piar.o, which had bo*_n *o her by the House of Semv.>.r. Iif. tween times there were- • er's fittings, photograph. v„ made or conferences w.th j. | Ferris. Bedtime was at nine I x\. v\ao LIUJU 411 lie I u'ith the door closed between her j room and Fran's in the- rr.idtown hotel where they lived until the apartment could be made ready, that Kit began to dream, the book i in her hands forgotten And to 1 ponder perplexedly on the matter ] of Vance Kealey. To wonder at the ' strangeness c things, thc-t she had | been sky-r< ;c-ted into his world— the radio \ rid that existed in a single skyscrarer—yet she never saw him. There had been a telegram from ; him: "Congratulations and very best wishes. Vance Hcaley." It was even now a trifl.: battered, folded away in the corner of her purse, j She'd answered it with a little note, saying, 'Thank you very : much for your telegram. I am more gratefui to you than I can tell you. I hope you will let me try some day." • She'd signed it. "Sincerely, Kit Reilly." There had been so much more she'd wanted to say. She ; would like t'j have asked him to tea, but she didn't know whether girls still asked men to tea. And she'd remembered that Nana Har ris had said, "When men want any thing they go after it. If they have to be run after, you generally lind they're the kind who run away." apartment she had thought, "I could ask him to a place like this. , I could give a party and he ; wouldn't think I was running after , him if it were a party to which 1 j invited him." ; The apartment occupied a whole j floor, and included four many : windowed roonu, in a renovated ' tenement on Sutton place. A yel | low door with a great brass knock er invited her inspection. And there she found her home in the high-ceilinged rooms with wide windows that looked out over a miniature garden, over the ribbon of the East river, and up beyond the shadowy lace of a high bridge. Across the room, Fran said, "Pink! In a living room'!"' The decorator closed his 'eyes and took a sharp breath. Kit stifled the impulse to giggle. She thought, "He's counting to ten again." He said, patiently, "Only a touch, n.v dear Miss Le Maze. We now have ivory in the woodwork, chartreuse in the satin drapes. We al-o have the dark woods and the wood green of the carpet. We MUST have a blend." He appealed to Kit, "What do you think of this carnation ?" K:t got up from the piano bench and inspected a swatch of stiff satin with unpractieed eyes. "That's your department, Mr. S^ulnn. If you say we need pink, 1 £Ui:-s vve do. The colors don't .•• •■.'.U r so mu'jh to me as long as . ail spacious and comfortable. : ■ ■; never had enough .pace in my she concluded wistfully. 'Well, pink's a new one on me," Fran said witheringly. "What about then: what-you-mav-call-its ? These things that cost thirty-five bucks apiece?" She sorted the cat alogs and. finding the picture she sought, passed it over '.o Kit. "The Chinese figurines?" Mr. Squires' languid voice took on an eiiiro of pain. "We do need them, I think. The unframed mirror I see over the I'.replace won't blend with out tin in. We can't—we really can't l -ave the mantle bare." "We r'ui't. Indeed wc can't. Can Wf, "lancr;;? We've always had "!i our mantles," Kit said •;("!\Tly. "YYII.'i I WUUKl you CiO Willi LUC pink :jihI Iiow much more would it c«:t?" Frail inquired, on surer i ground again. "Only a spot. Two tightly drawn satin pillows for the regency lounge, I think." He closed his eyes , t'» hide the pain there and said, "The cost, as I've told you, is in cluded in the estimate we agreed upon." "All right," Fran begrudged. "But it sounds bedroomy to me." "We are designing this drawing room for a lady," the decorator re minded her in a tone intended to discourage further comment. Fran wao not easily silenced. She said, "Ycu don't mind if we have a gent ... a gentleman in it sometimes, do you?'' in her hand. Mischievous lights danced in her eyes, but her voice was solemn. "We could have one," she said. "We could seat him on one of the regcncy chairs." • "That'r about all for today, then, Mr. Squires said in a tone of linality. He flicked a crumb from his pear: gray flannel trousers and returned a sheer handkerchief to his purple-and-gray-plaid breast pocket. Fran gave him a black fedora. "How soon will the join . . . place be ready? These hotel 100ms are cramping our style." A fortnight, he assured her. Kit took him to the door aril pressed the elevator bell. "Make it as soon as possible, please." To Be Continued) SAMPLE BAlLOT Official Ballot for County Officers IWSTfll ("HONS 1.
