It was like a belated echo “I’m afraid I don’t know your name but I think you are employed at Oleander mansions are you not?” ’Certainly” she said her expression yielding a little It was really horribly awkward plunging into conversation with a respectable middle aged worker who was obviously wondering what on oarth he wanted with her In desperation he plunged “I wonder if you would mind telling me your name?” It was easier now that he had her name "Mrs Thompson” he said “I want very much to have a talk with you and I quite realize that you are a busy woman qnd that I mustn’t take up your time Did it ever occur to you what it costs a manufacturer of sterling silver ware to produce a new pattern of knives forks and spoons? at a tea service or a us look Most of fine gorgeous centerpiece or any other product of the silversmith and pronounce it beautiful for nothing” or the workman the produced the or anxiety piece of the manufacturer -- as to its acceptance by the consumer It costs the manufacturer about $50000 to cut the steel dies for a new' flatware pattern Everyl individual item in a silver service must have its own die and if one will read the list of pieces that comprise a complete silver service it will give you some idea of the greatness of the undertaking to give the bride something new First the designer works for weeks anx- ious to produce a masterpiece and when a series of drawings are finally accepted by the officials they are submitted — t- o- other artists of note in other lines and to outstanding critics of art for their advice and when a design is finally accepted the did cutters “What time?"

The whole question is will the brides fancy it? We were offered bright scarlet shade and her shoes were cheap and shabby As Bill approached she salcF in a drawling voice which would have been pretty If it had been less affected “Mr Coverdaie? My mother said that you wanted to see me” Bill blinked “Your mother?" “Mrs Thompson” said the girl "You were speaking to her this afternoon” Bril steered her to an empty corner "I’m very grateful to you for calling” he said "I want some information about a friend of mine Mr Robin O’Hara I think he njay have been at Miss Delorne’s flat at Oleander mansions on the night of October 4 last year Now Mrs Thompson tells me she was in the hospital at that time and that you were taking her place at Oleander mansions” ' Beatrice rolled her blue eyes “There are 15 “Ooh!” she said flats ori that stair and people always coming and going but that Miss Delorne now— I'd know her again anywhere Lovely clothes she had— and I don’t know why every one wants to think there's something wrong just because a girl makes something of herself and knows how to make herself look Mrs Thompson's red face flushed vigorously "If you’re from the police you just turn right around and go back where you came from! You did ought to be ashamed of yourself trying to drag a respectable working woman who has brought up half a dozen children and kept smart” herself and them and never been “Well” Bill said pleasantly “it’s mixed up with nothing—” just possible you might have noI'm not from the police— really ticed my friend — I've got some I’m not— nothing to do with them” photographs upstairs If you’ll ex"Well cuse me for a moment I’ll Mrs Thompson sniffed get they’ve boon coming around so thef them” lift boy tells me I’ve been away for He came back with the photomy 'oliday and first'thing he says graphs to find her sitting in a carefullyto m§ when losing In this morning -arranged attitude uepied preb ‘There’s a busy been here1 he says ably from the latest drama she had detective” clothes a meaning plain seen He gave her three leaves he Bill said reassuringly “I swear had detached from his photograph to ask want not I I’m a busy just album The first was a group takyou a few questions about a friend en at a school dinner about two of mine He's gone off without leav- years ago He was in it and so was ing an address I thought if I might Robin O'Hara The second displayed have a talk with you and if you several taken at Way’s would accept five pounds to make End in snapshops the August before Meg’s —” time of loss for the your up in two of marriage Robin Her stare became extremely pen- theme The third appeared was Meg’s wed"Five said She pounds—” etrating ding group including Professor and stood there puckering up her Postlethwaite a radiant Meg and said she Then lips and frowning Robin O’Hara as a bridegroom “We can’t talk here” Beatrice Thompson took each of said What about a cup of tea?” the leaves looked at it and laid Bill it on her knee When she came to Mrs Thompson looked sideways the wedding group she stared at at him “You— and me?” she said it for some time then handed it She sniffed again back pointed at the professor and said ’I've seen that old gentlePersuades Mrs Thompson It took nearly five minutes to per- man” “What?” said Bill suade Mrs Thompson In the end “That old gentleman” said Miss she supposed that Simpson’s bakery might serve their turn As it Thompson still pointing “I’ve seen was 3 o’clock In the afternoon the him” The forefinger still pointed at and the drawling place was conveniently empty Bill the professor had an uneasy feeling that he was voice said with a little more drawl making a complete fool of himself than before “I can swear to him” and paying five pounds for the “Where?” said Bill “Nonsense!” he wanted to say privilege "Coming out of Miss Delorne’s Mrs Thompson both clasped hands aroftnd her cup and sipped flat 9 o’clock In the fnorning and with audible enjoyment “And what 1 had Yny 'pall in the way so I had was it you wanted to ask me about? to move it And that Made me noA friend of yours you was saying tice him very particular” Bill found himself quite unable to Bill leaned an elbow on the table believe a word she was saying “Miss Mrs Thompson" he said "my Thompson” he said “I think you’ve friend’s - name "was O’Hara— Mr made b mistake”— she shook her Robin O’Hara Have you heard the head— “but leave that on one side for a moment and tell me are you name before?” xShe shook her head and sipped sure you don’t recognize anyone else In these photographs?” again ‘I want you to go back to a year He thought she hesitated and he last year — October thought that it was to cover her ago— October last' fourth year I think Mr O’Hara hesitation that she said pertly “If was in Oleaqder mansions that you’ll tell me who you want me to night” I might have a shot recognize or otherwise and give no thought to the man who conceived the design who eyes and yellow hair curling on her neck Her lips were piafe up In a O’Hara?” “Well what am I to ask— who did he come visiting? There’s a matter of 15 flats on my stair” It had not occured to him that there might be more than one stair He said quickly ‘!Is Miss Delorne’s flat on your stair?” Her face became heavily unintelligent Bill recognized the withdrawal of respectability “Is it?” he insisted She said mouth hard ' “Yes” and shut her “Is she living there now?” She gave him another heavy look “She’s not there much The boy says she’s away” “Mr O’Hara might have been visiting' at Miss Delorne’s flat” said Bill “And not the first” said Mrs Thompson with dignity They got no further She regarded Della Delorne with suspicion and wouldn’t talk about her "I’ve my job to think of anyhow” And upon that they parted Bill gave her five pounds and a card with his address He did not promise Beatrice another fiver but he gave Mrs Thompson to understand that there would be a market if her daughter had anything to sell Decides to Dress Bill Coverdaie was just beginning to think of dressing for dinner that evening when he was informed that a young lady had called to see him His thoughts went rocketing to Meg with the complete lack of reason which characterizes the lover's state She hadn’t given any name She was in the lounge He was engaged to dine with old friends on the other side of London but how could it be Meg?
