READ THIS FIRST: Sandy and Marcia had met quite by accident near the home of the girl's grandmother in southern California. He is an advertising executive who has just established his own firm and she is a talented commercial artist employed by a rival firm in Los Angeles. After a week they fall in love.

When Marcia shows so much.enthusiasm for her work that Sandy feels her love for him is secondary, they part in a huff and retarn separately to Los Angeles. Led to believe she is to be taken into Abe Zimmerman's firm. Marcia is disappointed when she finds that one Walt Hartley has become the new partner during- her vacation. Sandy becomes furious when he learns Marcia is working on- the same account on which he has pinned high hopes. Marcia's firm wins the coveted account butyshe feels badly because of Sandy's loss and goes to see him.

At odds with Sandy again, Marcia accepts night club invitation from Hartley whom she mistrusts, and arranges to obtain Ellen Sanders, a girl at the office, for a friend of his, Tony Elliott. The four go to a party at Lona von Brecht's, an Paula Stoddard, an art student. Marcia recommends Sandy-Knight when Paula-tells is seeking- an opening: in an-advertising agency.

Surely there was nothing about Paula Stoddard, the unassuming young artist, to cause her concern. But her heart was pounding within her bosom, and for the first time she wondered at the wisdom of leaving Sandy to the prey of other women, who might not be too particular about poaching on someone else's property. Then she reassured herself: Paula had little but youth to recommend her. Her brown hair was thick and tawny, but without the slight.

Montgomery ward NORTH IOWA'S LARGEST DEPARTMENT STORE 102-4-6 South Federal Ave. Telephone 860 or 861 to hold it from slipping over her forehead. Marcia admitted the girl had lovely eyes, large and gray, with a -wistful, almost soulful expression. But her nose was too small, her mouth too thin- lipped and set. Her face had a transiucent pallor, devoid of makeup.

Her first description, "colorless," seemed aptly to describe the girl. Paula was puzzled by Marcia's curt greeting and her hasty exit, but forgot it quickly in her panic at applying for her first position. When Sandy came' out of his office to greet her, she trembled obviously and her mouth could hardly formuate the words, "I am Paula Stoddard. and I came to you for work." Sandy thoughtfully led her into his office, set her at ease with a few generalities, then began to question her about her work. Paula nervously played with the watch on her arm told him her experience at art school and her anxiety to get a position.

She confided in a quaint way that she had been preparing all her life for just such an opportunity as he could give her. Inclined at first to send the child on her way with a few words of advice, Sandy seemed about to speak. "Oh, please. Mr. Knight," she began and with no intent to joke she said, "I'll get over that.

And I really can draw. Look!" Quickly she untied the large portofio she carried and'before Sandy could utter a word, she spread her drawings on his desk, on the chairs, even on the floor. Her eyes grew bright as she explained the different technique she used, the type of work to which she was particularly adapted. Sandy looked over her shoulder indulgently at first, and then with genuine interest. While her work was definitely amateurish, it showed unusual perception and depth of feeling.

Her landscapes were poor, but some of the informal sketches of women showed real promise and her stylized designs were full of imagination and romance. Sandy stooped over, going over one after another, complimenting, rejoicing or deliberating over each one. Paula was on her knees, thrusting a new subject into his hands as he finished with the previous one. Suddenly he jumped up, ran his hand sheepishly through his hair and grinned. "I guess I'm the kid, not you," he apologized, "but somehow I like to spread things out so I can get a good comparison.

Miss Stoddard, I really think you have excellent possibilities as an artist. But, honestly, I can't afford to take anyone in who hasn't had any previous experience in an agency. You don't know anything about requirements for commercial technical and economic- factors. Why don't you go Paula interrupted him. "Go back to school? What will I learn there except more theory? I'm drenched in it, I ooze theory from my very fingertips.

If it's a question of money, Mr. Knight, I have enough to last me. quite a little time. And I'd rather be working in this office for nothing than paying out more money to the school. Haven't you anything I could work on, just to show you what I can do?" Sandy stopped to consider.

He was in serious need of an artist, particularly if he was going to try to get new business. Prospective clients demanded new ideas, roughly presented pet-haps, but something on which to base a real campaign. Heretofore he had "farmed out" his art assignments at exorbitant prices, and even then not been able to get what, he wanted without costly supervision. If he let this youngster work in the office, at least he could direct her efforts and get some presentable ideas to have them finished up by a 1 professional if necessary. The idea began to have more than one advantage.

"Well, I won't make any promises as to how long it'll last, but I'll let you come in on these conditions. I'll pay you for any work that is accepted, or for any ideas that we can develop into actual sales. Of course that isn't much, but I really.can't afford to pay a salary until you begin'to justify yourself. I have a hunch, you may be able to help me" on this Sheer- Sheen account that Miss Madden suggested, so now sit down and Jet me tell you what I have in mind. That is, if you're still Paula radiantly assured him that she was grateful for the opportunity.

For two hours they discussed copy and art angles for the hosiery Paula sketching rapidly as new ideas occurred -to her, from his discussion. -She. was. quick to catch his ideas and once, when she made comic, sketch a pert young lady, Sandy grabbed her arm, "That's' the way, that's it. By the Lord Harry, I believe you've hit on something.

Let's use this character for the whole series. You can't mistake her, and wherever you see her you'll say a natural!" Paula. glowed under his praise, and when she finally' got up to go home her head was giddy from the afternoon's concentration. Before she left she had promised Sandy to be in 1 early in the morning to start work in earnest. 'At first slightly ashamed pi his shrewish bargaining with the inexperienced Paula, Sandy gradually came to feel that the association would prove to their mutual advantage.

They spent an intensive week of work on the hosiery account. Paul thrilled and flattered at the confidence he put in her judgment. It was the middle of September before. Sandy felt he had enough data assembled to make a convincing presentation to Anderson of the Sheer-Sheen company. True to his promise, he called at Marcia's one evening to discuss this and other prospects his young company had.

As he touched enthusiastically or. one subject and another, Marcia wondered about the inner Sandy. DM he still love her with the same devastating love, forcibly subdued during this had his ardor cooled so that he could talk so glibly of, business without injecting, anything personal in the "I'm eternally grateful to you for Stoddard to -me," Sandy confided.during a lull They were sitting' on the. low ottoman "on the stool in front of the window, watching the. flickering of' the boulevard.

"She works like a and her stuff is not half you know." "Paula? wished she could tell him that she was tired of the very name. He had included it in so much of his conversation that evening that she felt a strange sense of foreboding. "I wish I could be working with you instead of, her," Marcia said wistfully. "We' could -have -such fun, building a business up from scratch. I thought-you were going to suggest it the other day when I was in your "Mad, mad Marcia! How do you think I could ever restrain myself if you were beside me all day.

It's bad enough to see you occasionally without losing my self-controL I want -the woman, Marcia; not the artist. In your heart you know I'm right. Let's not discuss it, my dear, not unless one of us has something new to say to the other." It ail seems sc useless; you love me, but you won't take me the way I am. I love you, and I can't have you. What's the way out for us, Sandy?" Marcia stated the case clearly, and it was a long time before the man answered.

"Time. It's my only hope, Marcia. I'm hoping that before long you'll come to me wholehearted and free of this career obsession. Until then, try to. keep on neutral he iooked longingly into her eyes, now 'brimming with unshed "But let's talk about other things.

Will you wish me luck tomorrow with Anderson?" After a pause he said, "Paula and I are going over the last sketches late- we plan-to- have everything ready by If. it's a hit, we'll throw a success party." But Marcia was sud because the "we" he mentioned included Paula, and not. her.
