BOB WESTON, son of a millionaire, comes to Memphis where his father is building a new textile plant.

Bob tries to find a lovely girl he saw on the train and later heard sing at a Junior league benefit. The girl is JOAN WARING, member of an impoverished family with an aristocratic background. Joan's mother longs for her daughters to have the social position rightfully theirs. Joan has left college before graduation to assist the family in a financial emergency. PAT, her 18-year-old sister, has a job as typist.

Pat loves pleasure and pretty clothes and hopes to escape drudgery through a rich marriage. Pat meets JERRY FORRESTER, son of her employer. Other members of the Waring family accept Jerry's attentions to Pat as an indication of serious interest. Joan, who believes Jerry is a spoiled playboy, is skeptical. BOB finally finds Joan.

They go for a drive and Joan realizes she is falling in love with him. NOW GO ON WITH THE STOBY CHAPTER VI. Bob did not kiss Joan. He only said in a voice, stirred by emotion, "You're sweet, Joan!" Then he started the car rather abruptly and Joan relaxed against tha seat, feeling shaken and happy. She was amazed at her mixed emotions.

She had wanted him to kiss her and yet she was glad, terribly glad, that he hadn't. If he had, she would have thought of Pat and Jerry. She was sorry for for all girls who knew men like Jerry when there were men like Bob in the world. "A penny for your thought3, Joan." "Not worth a penny." Her voice was not quite steady, but the tone seemed to satisfy him. Bob answered quietly, "I'd risk a lot more to find out." Something hung between them, some golden, glamorous cloud, enveloping them even through light and casual conversation.

Back at Joan's home her mother met them in the hall. Joan introduced Bob and he grasped tns hand Mrs. Waring extended. "It must be lonely for you, being a stranger here," she said. "I'm feeling more at home all the time," he answered with a smile at Joan.

"You must have dinner with us some night. Could you tomorrow?" "I'll be delighted, Mrs. Waring." Joan caught her breath. Mother coming out of her timid shell, inviting a stranger to dinner! Was the world coming to an end? The sun, pouring through ths window panes, roused Joan next morning. She leaped out of bed and closed the windows, shutting out the fresh, cold February air.

Bill must go for Stella who worked by the day and was always pressed Into on special occasions. "I'll get some flowers down town," Joan planned. "We really can't afford them but I do wane the table to look pretty." Mother was rather helpless In the kitchen when it came to special events. Joan counted off the tasks that must be attended to. "Roast to watch, cake to make, vegetables washed, She enumerated them on slender fingers.

"Two hours coaching Paul and Marie Wilson. And if I have minute I'll run over on Union for a shampoo. Perhaps I'll be really extravagant and have a manicure." She tiptoed by Benny's door, suddenly contrite. Here she was, excited and happy when Benny was so ill. Was she really light and frivolous after all? The morning did not go smoothly.

To begin with, Stella sent word her husband was sick. She finally arrived and presently the fragrant aroma of one of ths good cakes filled the air. A little later Mrs. Waring cams to the kitchen door with a distressed look on her face. She was holding out the snowy linen cloth that was her pride.
