THE STORY: Once more Alma
Conroy, woman jewelry designer
for the exclusive House of Trum
bull in New York, is in low spirits
because her husband Tommy ap
parently is a failure. An opening
as head of the photography de
partment in The House will be
given to someone else because
Tominy is “not the caliber” for the
position.

Alma Conroy paused a little be
fore she went on with the bad
news——that Tommy wouldn't get
th~ job he wanted at The House.
Tommy had his back to her now
and was mixing a drink,
“They want a settled man, some
ene who is loyal to The House,”
she tried to explain. ‘“And—oh,
Tommy, perhaps Mr. Greig knew
that you sometimes drink too
much and what with having to
handle those precious things when
you photographed them. ... I
hone nct, but I'm afraid that's
what he thought. For you are a
vyonderful photographer—it’s such
a pity that you always seem to
spoil your own chances!”
Tommy looked at her over
his shoulder and, surprisingly,
laughed.
“Thanks for the lecture!” he
caid. “Well, let that old fuddy
duddy keep his confounded pho
tography. ’lve got something bet
ter!”
“Where?” She was startled.
“Right at Trumbull’'s. A big
time job—and you didn’t get it for
me either, my girl!”
“Tommy! But that’s wonderful,
d2or. What sort of a job?”
“] can’t tell you.”
*Nonsense—why not?”
He came over, put down his

drink and took her face between
his fine, long hands. “Do you know
that places in Trumbull’s class do
a lot of confidential business?”
She nodded. “I suppose so. I
never thought about it!”
“Well, that’s all I can tell you.”
“Is that why vou were out with
Bright Muncie?”
Tommy shot her a quick look
from under his heavy brows. He
looked angry.
“I said, we are not going to dis~
| cuss details. I don’t even want it
[ Fnown that I'm working with
.Briqht. He made that plain. Now
{ will you shut up and believe that
‘your husband is on the big time
at last?”
“I want to believe it! Oh, Tom
{ my, how I want to believe it—but
vou've crowed too soon before.
This time I'd like a little proof.”
He flung his hat aside and thrust
the package he had brought home
linto her hands. They shook a lit
| tle as she unwrapned it, feeling
numbed by the statement he had
iust made and curiously detached
from all reality. Under the tissue
paper inside was a stole of gor
geous silver fox. She lifted it out,
staring incredulously.
“You must have worked awfully
hard for this!” she said uncertain
ly. Tommy gave a short laugh.
“Fasiest money I ever made!”
he said. “Try it on—it won’t bite!
What's more, it’'s all paid for.
From me to you.wi‘th love.”

Sliding the soft fur around her
shoulders she suddenly wanted
to cry. After all these years Tom
my had brought her a present like
this! Only a man who was mak
ing real money would buy such a
thing—unless—unless he were
Tommy Conroy!
She wanted terribly to accept
the gift as a symbol of accom
vlished fact, even though offhand
it just did not seem possible. But
there were the furs: they spoke
for themselves and spoke elo
quently. Perhaps at last the mo
ment for which she had longed so
long had really arrived. How she
would laugh now at Papa Victor’s
misgivings about Tommy, at Joe’s
disgust at his friend’s backslidings!
Tommy making good! It justified
everything—the fact that she had
supported him, given him one
fresh start after another, shielded
him from the consequences of his
own mistakes, built un his courage
with flattery and faith.
A slow warmth began to fill her:
the youth and strength of which
long subconscious worry had
sapped her, came flooding into her
veins again.
“Tommy,” she said chokingly.
“My darling, my darling, I knew
this would happen some day!”
“That I'd eventually pay off?”
She could not endure the taunt,
even though it was flung laugh
ingly.
“Oh, Tommy, it isn't that—it’s
just that I wanted you to be a
man'! I love the present, of course!
But your having stood on your
own feet to get it is even more
precious to me.” She looked at
him under lowered lids for a long
moment, allowing him to see the
great welling of tenderness in her
eyes. “Darling!” she added softly.
“Darling!” He echoed the word
with infinite meaning, his eyes
meeting hers in that deep, basie
understanding which was the
thing that had held them together
despite all res‘asor:. X
Then the . years of quarreling
seemed to fall away from her like
a tattered cloak leaving her naked
before the old passion which she
had sometimes felt was dead. His
arms were around her, his lips
gentle on the edge of her hair. She
trembled in his embrace amd clung
to him.
It was only later thai her mind
began to function. And as usual,
her reasoning was not all her own.
In her mind there seemed to
come, as they often had before,
the faces of the two widely differ
ent women, now dead, who had
reaved her,
{” They were Aunt Pleasant Lee,
’hor mother’s old-maid sister with
i whom the summers of her child
| hood had bheen svent and whose
mind was as upright as her grimly
| rleam hodv, and Gran’ Bijou, Pana
Victor’s French wife. Alma conld
not remember her own 'mother
who had died at her birth, but
| Gran’ Bijou was very vivid—a gav
|old lady with susniciously black
| hair, bright linstick on her with=-
| ered lips and a warm love of life
; hoVering abhout her like an aura,
| Alma had adored both the sum
mers on the bleak New England
| farm and the winters in New York
jwhere Gran’ Bijou sang the sup
nosedly naughtvy French songs of
her youth and Papa Victor taught
Alma the glorious art of jewel
making. The two women spoke
verv clearly tonight.
“Far be it from me to criticize,”
Aunt Pleasant was being severe
about it “but I do hope, Alma,
that you haven’t driven your hus
band into anything wrong by nag
ging him about being a failure!
]Easiest money he ever made, eh?
' Don’t like the sound of it. Nagging
is no way to build up a man!”
Gran’ Bijou, laughing at the
pomposity of mankind’s penalizing
of sex, broke in.
“How foolish!” she said, her
ear;‘ngs twinkling like her laugh
ter. “He brings you into his arms
with a gift, and at once you try to
find a moral issue! Do not deceive
yourself, bebe! Take this hour of
happiness lightly. It is a good
thing in itself, and that suffices!”
They are both right, Alma
thought. She and Tommy could
not live happily on love alone.
They had tried that before and:it
had failed. 4
