T o SYNOPSIS: Lighthearted Jac- queline Grey had her own phil- osophy of life. It was cpito- tized in her sauwcy little nose and laughing brown eyes. Men found her insouciance, ete and physical charm intriguing but Jacqueline was 19 and con- cerned only with the frothy things of life. Suitors were per- sistent but Jacqueline was firm. A 500 pound bequest opened the door to adventure and she for- got her impecunious existence as a former model at Byrams, Londen establichment, to live in grand style at the Hotel Ma- jestic. Such luxury as suite 111 provided had lived only in her dreams, before. With malicious glee she plans to confound her former associates at Byrams with her new-found wealth. has scores to pay with Kesw Dell, the buyer who has dis- charged her, and Emily Gibbs, an envicus model. Chapter 10 MISS GREY GOES SHOPPING Mr. Keswick Dell was engaged in the gentle art of gingering up his department, when he saw an ele- gantly dressed customer approach- ing. He hurried to meet her, dis- carding his gingering-up manner as he went, and putting on what the gitls callcd his ministering-angel style. He was near sighted, but his eyes were good enough to see, even from the other end of the department that here was a customer whom it would be an artistic pleasure tc dress. ‘Whatever faults Mr. Dell had, he knew his business, and it was one of his life's sorrows that there were What a tritumph for the former model as Emily Gibbs promenadnd! 80 few ladies of high degree who, from the artistic point of view, rpally worthy of the dresses he plied. But here was ong. whose slim, graceful figure caught his eye from the distance. ~And she could walk too. His best model could not walk with more poise and distinc- tion. ) . Jacqueline was not tall. She was only slightly over medium height; but she knew how to dress so as to appear tall. Bhe saw Mr. Dell bearing down upon her. She saw him recognize her, and stop quivering in his tracks, like a noble ship in full sall that strikes a sunken rock. “Good morning, Mr. Dell,” said Jacqueline, smiling her sweetest. The man was shrewdly hit. Fu- turist waves of apopleetic purple suffused his face. Twice he seem- ed to be trying to swallow his epi- glottis. Jacqueline, who knew him very well, saw that he was just about to. burst out with: “What is the meaning of this?” in his workshop manner; but he pulled himself to- gether in time. The wife of the managing direc- tor of Byrams was.in the depart- ment inspecting patterns only a few yards away. Mr. Dell noticed that ghe had turned her wholly approv- ing gaze upon Jacqueline. He also remembered what he had Neard about the girl coming into a fortune. Perhaps it was true, after all. Such untikely things did hap- pon. Certainly her appearance supported it. He could not keep his eyes off Jacqueline's taflor-made. He knew its value in pounds. That, and the 2at, shoes, gloves and handbag, im- pressed him much more than the caké sent to the “model” girls had done. His bow was superb. “Good morn- . madam. What can I have the pleasure .of showing you?" But the man had wilted. He was . almost meek. “you're rather a pig, Jacqueline,” ghe said to herself. “That was below the belt. If ever he gets the ngle-hold on you again, my girl youwll know it. But, anyway, it's your turn now; make the most of i wdacqueline knew exactly what she wanted. She asked to see several of the latest Paris models. .1t you please,” she said with sweetness, “I should like Gibbs to show them. She's out the nearest to my figure.” were sup- AT o i W W e 4 T JACQUELINE N HER OWN by RICHARD STA_!}R', Mr.. Dell looked he igave his orders. “I owe Emily Gibbs one,” sald | Jacqueline to herself, *“for splitting on me that night I was late for the roll-call.” Emily Gibbs had to put on and take off five different frocks, and promenade in them before Jacque- |line, who reclined gracefully on a luxurious Chesterfield. She returned her glares. This series of demonstrations took an hour. The wife of the managing director remained the whole time, an interested spectator; and eral other customers joined the au- dience Meanwhile worried as excitement spread whom knew Jacqueline. Upstairs in the “model” room half a dozen girls sat around in white silk slips and irreproachable black silk stockings. Dorothy Dal-| ton burst into the room. “What's happened, girls?” she! screamed “They say Jacqueline Grey is in the show-room ordering Papa Dell about as if he was a walker.” “Yep,” replied Coralie Compton, sev-| quickly among the assistants, all of | THE DAILY POLLY AND HER PALS SHUX SAM, VIOTS B wi 1 THE 80D O'THIS 2 ‘HERE SHETLAND, iPONYSurr, IF IT SHOCKED FOOR SUSIE.

If ever you do, look out for Papa Dell and for Emily Gibbs, especially Emily Gibbs.” But these were troubles of the future, and Jacqueline lived for the day—like a bird— and perhaps she was happier for it. She -saw P. C. Rogers, who had put her five founds on Prinkipo and lost it. He was on traffic duty outside Byrams, and ‘stopped her taxi with an imperative hand. She liked P. C. Rogers, d4nd she wanted very much to lean out of the cab and tell him of the good fortune which had overtaken her; but she realized the obligations of her new position in-society. So she passed out of the old life at Byrams into the new one which the possession of ‘a check book and a bank balance had already brought her in two or three days.
