"You're so i kind!" he said. "You're so lovely, Rachel. . And I'm nothing at all But I love you. That's why I can't . take any money from you." Be fore she could answer he went on, v Quickly: "Don't say anything, there's nothing you can say. I'm ashamed to be such a louse, I'm ashamed that I came here and and made vou all this trouble.

But now this woman's taken a full-time place somewhere and my , client thought it would be possible to put a woman in the house to look over the situation and trace this thieving and not have his wife disturbed by knowing about it," "But I thought thev wanted . housemaid or a waitress I don't be lieve I don't know if I could do a personal maid't workl" exclaimed Rachel. "It would, mean hairdress in g and manicures and probably massage" ; v;"- "I thought of that and asked Jny client but he says his wife goes regularly to one of the big beauty establishments and he knows she wouldn't change, she enjoys the place and is used to it. But you'd have to keep her clothes in order and wait on her and hp eenerallv useful, maybe help out the butler and cook, answer the phone, per haps look after the boy now and then, that would give you the run of the house and a way to get close to everybody in it." "I could keep her clothes in order and I can sew," said Rachel doubt fully. "I think all this is nonsense. Miss Vincent isn't the type, you can see yourself, Terriss, she's too good- looking and too well educated, your client's wife would smell a rat." objected Vinco. "Miss Vincent, please take oft your hat," said Terriss. He took his spectacles from his pocket. "Smoothe your hair back, wipe off your lipstick and put on my glasses. Now, in a uniform and cap you'd be just a nice healthy-looking girl, with your eyes obscured. You'd have to leave the enamel off your nails. I'd never have gone this far if I hadn't seen that she'd look all right. As for education, that doesn't matter, she won't have to pull any Latin or Greek." "I don't know any," said Rachel. "The thing now is to sell Miss Vincent to my client. He's difficult in some ways, but a very fine man, Miss Vincent. I've gone over yorur record here, Miss Vincent, I know that your father's dead, your moth er's abroad for the winter and you're living with Miss Matthews, who's employed by an advertising agency. Can you direct me to some known and reliable person who will vouch for you to me and to tn client? Someone who's known you from childhood and knows your family?" Rachel hesitated. "It's a little difficult," she said. "There's Mr. Hobart Grable. mv mother's law yer, but he nrobahlv wouldn't an. prove my doing this and he might aiarm my mother." Mr. Terriss listened with satis. faction. "If Hobart Grable's your mother's lawyer you've already vouched for yourself, Miss Vincent I know Mr. Grable." Vinco broke in fussilv: "Let's eel down to cases, let's set down to cases. When will Miss Vincent see your client, when will she know whether or not he likes her? I want to get her appointments arrange:?. I want" "And another thine. Louis." sairi Curt. Elton, "this may be a very Short Job for Miss Vincent. I think She oueht to be sure vou' re coin 2 to take her back on your staff." Terriss was suave and quick. "I don't consider that Mies Vincent has ever left Mr. Vinco s staff, this work is in the nature of a leave of ab sence and I can't beein to tell van. Vinco. bow neatly I anureciatp your finding Miss Vincent for me. I felt when I called you up you were the one man in New York who could help me." Under this blandishment Vinen beamed. "Of course Miss Vincent's not leaving ' ran permanently, I wouldn't think of letting her do that, what do you think I am?" - (TO BE CONTINUED) .

Offers Solution For The Storage Problem Adeauate storacre farilition clothes, cooking utensils, cleaning BuppueB, meaicines, and other house hold articles add to the convenience of a home. The fundamental orincinals for gooa storage, according to Pauline Gordon, home management Rnecialint. 01 me atate College extension ser vice, are." Articles should be stored at or close to the place where they are used. Articles should be stored in such a wav that each mav h romnvoH without handling any other article. ine storage space should fit the size and shape of the articled tn ha stored and should also be in keeping with the size of the person who uses the articles most. Closets, wardrobes, nantries. nnrch- es, attics, and cellars are among the storage places that can be put to good use, Miss Cordon said. Onlv seldom used articles, of course, should be put m me attic.
