What a sight she "was! She Had, cleaned the apartment apart-ment from floor to celling but It appeared that all the dust and dirt she had scrubbed and scrkFed away must hare clung to herself. The towel pinned aboaf ber skirt In . place of an apron was blackened .frith grime, Her printed silk frock bad once been attractive but .she had worn It for housework uu-jtll uu-jtll It was frayed and soiled.' An-t An-t other, towel, pinned about her head, concealed ner hair except ror a few stray wisps tbat straggled forth trrotesquely. Ther -were blaek smudges on her faes and arms and one finger was shrouded. In a bulky bandage. That was where Cherry had cat herself the day hef ore. ."You're a disgrace," aha told tha Image In the mirror. .Ton look like Something the cat dragged tn. Las Sarah would say.

No matter now bard she worked cooking or Ironing "or mending -no matter bow busy the day. there was always & o'clock and the evening meal to be prepared. A ahara rap sounded on the door. "Anyone homer a crisp voice called. "It's me Dixie!" Cherry reached for a towel. She was drying her bands as she drew the door back. "Hello, Dixie,- she said. "Come In." ' . - i TPHE girl on the .threshold smiled brightly and instantly .the smile faded. "Saints above! "'she exclaimed ' In ST' Horrified tone. "What have you been doing to yourself. Cherry Phillips? Cherry shrugged. T?a been cleaning house," " sha - admitted. The place gets awfully dirty and I've been at it all day," "But. my dear, you're a wreck! Why don't you hire someone to do the cleaning? That's whit I do" The other girl 'shook ""her bead. "We can't afford to hire anyone," she said. "Anyhow this Is my part of the Job. Tou see there are two of us to live on Dan's salary. Tou nave only yourself." Dixie nodded sympathetically. She dropped into the nearest chair. "Well, you're a game kid; 111 say that, but you're wearing yourself out and It doesnt pay. Listen, I like Dan and all that but take a little advice from a girl who knows. You'll regret this, slavery !" "Aren't you rather cynical?" "Maybe. Did you know I was married once? Oh, yesblushing bride, showers of rice, love and obey and all that! Keeping house la a kltchenet love nest. Well, it lasted sit months and I was a fool to stand It that Ions." "Why, Dixie, I didnt know" "Oh, it was over i and forgotten Ion? ago. : Tou sea I was dumb enough to fall for an actor. Hand some brute all right but as soon as we were married he stopped work ing. I kept my , Job and paid the bills until one day he got his dates-mixed. dates-mixed. There wis 'a certain red bead and well, tbat was the end of that! A nice Quiet divorce and Dixie's been a wiser girl ever since. But, Lord, what am I going on this way tor? I didn't mean to narrate my life history!" "I'm "sorry, Cherry said sym pathetically. "Dont waste sympathy on me. Think about yourself. The point is you ought to be fitting out and having some fun. And don't -for heaven's sake, let -Dan find you looking like Topsy herself! Better start scrubbing. It's going to take a long time to excavate that face." r ' f OBEDIENTLY Cherry began her ablations. "I wish I were clever like you," she said. "I wish could hold a Job and earn money." j BUDDIES WE. VfV& TOECtt-.w VOOR5VKTV LWSLV OWSX. "TO CONDUCT Of 'Vli.iuM'VMru.nN 4 ;'Wr..7AX.l' "Bo glad you dont have to," the other told her shortly.. She laughed. "I've been raving so much I almost forgot why"! came. - Can you and Dan come up for a little bridge tonight? to-night? Jack McAllister's coming over and I thought we'd hare a party. Hes th .press agent at the Capitol Theater. You'll like Jack. I'll make a Welsh rarebit it's my one. and . only culinary achievement and am I proud of it!" "Of course well come,"' Cherry said. I guess you're right, Dixie. I have been staying in too much." "Qood. t If! expect you around 8. That'll -give you time to get out from .under the black .mask. Well, I'ft have to scram. Lota to do in the next two hours." ' s .-'. JJIXIB departed. Cherry decided on a quick tubbing and was soon in the warm, comforting bath. Dinner would be late but at least she would be presentable. Cherry told herself Dixie had been right It was a mistake to" stay at home working all day with no recreation later. That must be why she had felt so tired and cross. Of course they had been trying to save but they couldn't save all thA time. It wasn't fair to themselves. them-selves. She was dusting powder over her shoulders when Dan came. "Hello," she called, slipping a negligee about her. "Dinner's late because I've been cleaning house. It won't take long. IH open a can of - beans." Dan kissed her absent-mindedly. "No. hurry," he said. He tossed a newspaper into one chair and dropped his hat and coat in another. an-other. . Cherry said, "Doesnt everything look nice? I've been working all day." .; "Sure. Everything's fine." She knew from the tone that Dan had not even heard her. Cherry was disappointed. She slipped a dress over her head and went to the kitchen to rummage for the can opener. It was the work of 15 minutes to boil potatoes, heat the can of baked beans, split a head of lettuce for salad and make tea. Canned peaches left from the night before served for dessert. "Everything's ready," she told Dan who was burled behind the pages of the newspaper. rpHE meal began Silently. Once or twice Cherry glanced at Dan to see if anything was wrong. She could not understand his moo. Presently she said, "We have an Invitation for this evening." "Invitation?" Dan looked up. "Dixie Wanttr us to come .up and play bridge. She's Invited someone for a fourth. I told 'her we'd be glad to." "But, Cherry ! "Why, I thought you'd like to go. We we never go any place, Dan. , .. 1 - ' ' aV 1 II iiiiu . i.jii it . i. I'm tired et It working all day long and; then just sitting around here evenings.". ."You can go If you, want to. I'm not going." "Dan!" " : . "Weil, I mean It I suppose you think I don't work all day long? Maybe I don't get tired too. Bridge! 4 If there's one thing in the world I don't want to do tonight it's to play bridge!" , "But I'Teraifeady: accepted, Dan! I told her we'd come." ?. "Welt ji&u can Just 'tell her we wont. ' Tell her anything I don't care what you say!" , Y "Please w$n't you "do it for me?"1 I've told you. I'm not going to. play bridge tonight and I'm not! It you 'want to, go ahead. '; I'm not stopping yOu." "I cant go alone. You know that ' Oh, Dan, I think you're being horrid. hor-rid. I've' slaved all day long for you. I've scrubbed and swept and dusted untty' every muscle in my body aches! I'm sick of it and I want a little fun!" Dan Phillips put down his knife land fork. "Maybe you think I I wouldn't tike a little -fun once in. a while," he said. "De you' know why I cant 'hate ItT " Because- the rent's due next week. Because I've borrowed from everyone, in the office of-fice until I cant , raise another nlekel and 1'mnashamed to ask for It Fun? Would it Interest you to know that I turned down a poker game with the boys tonight to come borne and spend the evening with you? And I did it because by work ing all evening maybe I can write a story that will bring In some extra cash!" The girl was1 subdued. "I 1 didnt understand," she said slowly. "Of course I'll tell Dixie we won't -be able to make it" ' The meal proceeded.' It was not an appetizing dinner and neither of them were in communicative mood. When they had .finished Cherry' cleared' the dishes away and went upstairs to make excuses td Dixie. She returned to-find Dan Bitting before his battered typewriter, a stack of fresh copy -paper at bis side. AS quietly as possible she went about the Work of washing the dishes. She tiptoed Whenever she crossed the floor. Now and then the typewriter keys rattled, followed fol-lowed frequently by a terrific bang' ' Ing that could mean only that the - writer was "x-lng" out his previous work. An hour must have passed while she sat huddled In the big chair pretending td Tead. The sileores between periods of typing became V longer. x Suddenly, with a loud "Damn!" v Dan Jerked the paper from the. ma- ; chine. He Jumped to his feet, toss- ing the crumpled sheet to the Boor. ...
