What was that old story—about the boy putting his thumb in the crack of a dyke to hold out the ocean? All right in a story, perhaps, but one couldn’t hold back ali the weight of Norman's world with a silver vanity case. “I mean it. You can have it, Maddy. And you can have the lace handker- chief, too, and that bottle of French perfume.” “Wh . .” gasped Maddy. “What's come over you, Joyce! Don’t you want them?” Instead of answering this, Joyce's brooding eyes went around the room. She saw it clearly, as though she viewed it for the first time. An ugly square space, sweltering in Summer, freezing in Winter. Cracks in the white plaster walls like wrinkles in an old face. Cheap Japanese matting on the flood faded to a sickly green. It was cold and hostile to bare feet on a Winter morning. Floating on its surface like a faded island was & Tag T e ed liself was chipped white | enamel, and the mattress sagged to- ward the middle so that Joyce and Maddy slept in enforced neighborliness no matter how sultry the night. The bureau was imitation golden oak. Whenever she had stood before it dressing to slip out and meet Norman, Joyce had never noticed this. Her heart had been too full of stars and dreams to care about the white stains Jeft from cheap perfume or the spot which was blistered from Maddy’s curl- ing fron. But now the dreams and the stars had faded. She felt jealousy burning in her heart. Suppose Natalie Cameron had to live in such a room . . . Natalie'sroom would be crisp and lovely as a rose. Orchid and silver, some one had told her it was. Joyce had pictured it— suggested by the illustrated advertise- ments in the back of magazines. Dull purple rug orchid and silver spread on the bed which would be heaped with innumerable little lacy pillows. Natalie'’s dressing table would be & crisp affair of taffeta gleaming with silver and crystal like the pictures of tables the |of Bolle Wite." ins, head bent, eyes brooding until the familiar pad of feet sounded in the hall. The door creaked open Mrs Slade, carrying her shoes ed against the door frame, eyeing them accusingly. “I over slep’ an’, of course, of you two would call me! Come c now—hustle an’ help me! Your Pa be sore’s & boil if he comes back a finds things ain't done. Maddy come help fix the vegetables. Joyce. get Into your dress an’ hose down ti front porch an’ steps. Itll cool ‘em off a bit.” Riverton was coming to life after the slumberous heat of the day. The long shadows of the maples stretched across the dusty street and there was the neither faintest stir of the evening breeze in their leaves. Machines began to appear carrying a few of the more energetic golfers. This end of South Main street joined the State highway, the only direct road to the Country Club a few miles far- ther along. Joyce dragged the hose around from the back yard and began to wash the sagging wooden porch. The flare up spirit which she had shown to Maddy had faded. An intense bitter- ness surged over her and left her tremu- lous and desolate in its wake. She turned the hose on the wooden steps, not caring that the dirty water spattered up from the corners and famous . dressing in cold cream advertisements. It was! unfair! Joyce thought hotly. After all it was just such lovely exotic things which made the difference be- tween Natalie Cameron and Joyce Allen. But men were dense in such matters. . . . Norman would not stop to think that it was the Cameron money which made Natalie so desir- able. He would only see her walking against the radiant background making its beauty her own. Awe was still battling with greed in Maddy's face. Maddy's green eyes were incredulous. “Do you really mean it, Joy? That you're really giving me the case—and the perfume?” That coveted perfume! An unex- pected auto party had stopped at the Commercial House late one night. When Joyce had tidied the room the next day she had found a lace handkerchief ana 8 half empty bottle of French perfume left behind on the dresser. At the time they had been precious—some- thing to add to her value in Norman’s eyes. Now her voice was very tired when the answered Maddy. “I mean it. Why not? They're too little to mat- ter—" Then with a flerce little rush of anger, “Some day—some day, Maddy, as sure as I'm sitting here, I'm going to have all the beautiful things I want! Everything I want!” “Hum-m-m. . Let me in on the secret. ‘There's lots T want, too. How are you going to manage the miracle?” Joyce's soft young mouth was grim, “I know I sound like a fool! But if you hate all this enough a swing of her bare arm at the ugly room “——and want the other things badly enough— wvell, I believe you'll get them!” Maddy shrugged, but she was not in- clined to argue with the good fortune which was dropping si cases and French perfume in her She picked up_her sewing in_silence. Joyce continued to sit cross legged, picked at the hem of her rayon step- Lost Ugly Fat Her Husband Says She Looks Five Years Younger!
