Her work suf- fered. Admiral Bench had called her down twice for inexcusable errors, and Comdr. Leighton asked her if the young naval lieutenant returning from Pacific fleet maneuvers had got her down. No wonder the commander had been suspicious. She had brought all ADVERTISEMENT.

It had been a relief the first day when Marshall had not come to work. But the next, when his desk was still | vacant, and Maysie Parker came up to Betsy, swinging her silky and aggres- sive hips, saying, “Did you know that Marshall Van Devanter has quit? Re- sgned!” her heart had contracted pain- fully. “That's exactly what I want, isn't it?” she had told herself carefully. “Never to see Marshall again! Well, why act now as if Maysie had said he was dead?” | But no matter how she tried to kid | herself, Marshall's resignation from | the Government service had affected her. Several times she had found her- self walking toward the public tele- | phone booth in the corridor on thei first floor with Marshall’s home tele- | phone number on her lips. Once she had even taken the receiver from the hook and pressed her forefinger firmly | in one round hole of the dial. But! before she could complete the call she | had shaken herself mentally and hur- ried back to her desk. ‘There was a lot in the papers these | days about the debutantes.

Several daily | papers ran photographs of her . . .| old pictures made at a cheap studio| when she had been graduated from | Western High . . . and the Sunday papers carried a snap of her taken as | she had come in one afternoon from the office. It was when she returned from work on a Saturday afternoon and found | her mother in high excitement over | ADVERTISEMENT.

She wrote once she had better go at once to see Libby and tell her that she was not going to make a debut. She wondered vaguely why Marshall had not told Libby to call the whole thing off, now that there was no longer any point in going on with the original plans. Her mother said, “Oh, Betsy, most of them were such lovely people. Mrs. Van Staden—she's the wife of a big DVO official—stayed over an hour, and her daughter Virginia was a pretty little thing. Virginia's going to marry Senator Hofster's son right after her debut. While they were here a Mrs. Lockran and her daughter came, and Mme. Lemerieux—she’s the wife of an attache of an important embassy, a Russian baroness by a former mar- riage, I think she said—and her daugh- ter and three other little girls. I forgot who they all were, but their cards are out there on the hall table. Wonder why they leave so many cards and always turn down one corner? I had made some cookies this morning and I served them with tea. Do you think that was all right?” Betsy put her arm around her mother's waist. “Of course, darling, I'll bet they never tasted more de- licious cookies!” she said. lightly, wrinkling her small, impudent nose. But her heart was heavy. She could see those thick cups. The plated silver- ware. worn thin with constant use. What would this world of money and fashion and solid social background—Libby’s world!—think? What were they all saying now? As Betsy went swiftly upstairs Mrs Seymour called after her, “Oh, Betsy. I almost forgot. Jennie Travers tele- phoned and said to please save tomor- row afternoon for her. She's going to make calls and wants you to go with ADVERTISEMENT. HELLO, GRACE.

They were as hard and dry as | | pine boards. | | There was probably no place in the | whole of Washington as beautiful as | the Stockton mansion, just of Sheridan | Circle. Betsy stood for a few minutes looking at the impressive white marble structure, the trim boxwoods of the driveway, the grass that was as smooth | and luxurious as green velvet. Price- less Italian Renaissance curtains hung | at the windows and the small bronze bell at the door sparkled as bright and | reflecting as a mirror in the late after- noon sunshine. | Ever since Betsy could remember | this house had been one of the show places of the Capital. Nights when she had come home from high school dances and sorority meetings she passed here and hung out of the win- dow of the car like a sightseer, staring at the limousines streaming through the driveway, the lovely ladies with silver fox, ermine and velvet passing through the grated doors on the arms of men impressive in black, with white silk mufflers and toppers. One night she and Barbara Stone had stood across the street when the Stocktons were entertaining a visiting heir to a European throne. Barbara’s wide blue eyes had danced as she said, “Some | of these days, Betsy, I'm going to have | a house like that and people like those coming to dine with me!” She had laughed at Barbara, but in a way she believed her. She said, “You've always said you would be rich. Babs. I re- member when we used to play in the sandbox in Dupont Circle you'd build castles and really believed you lived in ADVERTISEMENT.

Betsy hadn't a card She just looked at the tray and blushec a little. Then she said, “I would like to see Mrs. Stockton if she is at home. Please tell her that Miss Betsy Sey- mour is calling.” In the spacious drawing room—a long, beautifully furnished room with sunlight subdued. with and dappled on the tal rugs— Betsy sat down in a stiff-backed satin- wood chair, folded her hands togethe in her lap and looked about her. Her eyes considered everything—the Gobe- lin tapestries, the Louis XIV sof cushioned in satin the color of a blue plum, the bright splash of Chinese embroidery thrown over a grand piano, the fire that pulsed beneath the seven- teenth century hand-carved mantel, the heavy gold draperies drawn back over crystal roses. She wondered if Libby loved all this, these rooms filled with exquisite things, the walls hung with priceless art. Betsy was still wondering. her hea heavy, when Mrs. Stockton came int) the room.
