"Good morning Vee-Vee," Flora Cartwright sighed, laying a delicate manicured hand against her tired blue eyes, "But do you mind if I ask you not to use that brisk cheerful, business- like voice this morning? It is really more than I can bear, darl- ing, What are you eating? Prunes? Coddled eggs? Whole eat toast? It is positively amazing to me that you can stand the sight of so much food so early in the morning.' "It is a quarter past eight, Aunt Flora--" Vera Cameron began, a flush rising from her throat to her brow, against which flat wide braids of nice but uninteresting brown hair lay like a crown of virtue, Behind the sparkling lenses of her horn-rim spectacles her eyes, their color disguised by the amber tint of the glasses, filled with treacherous tears, "Oh, good heavens, child, spare me!" pleaded, then broke into an amused, indulgent chuckle, "I know the whole story! You've been up since seven o'clock, You woke exactly on the dot, sprang out of bed, did calisthenics for exactly fifteen minutes, took an ice-cold shower, brushed that indecently and unfashionably long brown hair of yours exactly one hundred strokes of a stiff-bristled brush, timed yourself while you plaited it, gave yourself a ten-minute manicure, dressed | yourself in what the "Business Wo: sEEEEEEEN 00D morning, Aunt Flora," Vera Victoria Cameron Flora Cartwright man's' Magazine' prescribes as a suit- able costume for the efficient young secretary, made your bed, straightened your room to apple-pie order, cooked your breakfast, and ate it--all on sche- dule to the half minute. You are a great trial to me, Vee- Vee," she sigh- ed humorously. "But I hope you made me some good strong coffee and squoze a couple of oranges into a glass and set it in a bowl of cracked ice jor me. | could forgive you any- thing--even for being the world's most efficient and perfect private secretary --if you did those two little things for me." Vera Cameron's grave, uprouged mouth twitched into a half-smile as she rose and walked toward the kit- chenctte. Not even the severe lines of her black serge :uit, the skirt ot which reached haf way to her mod- est black silk ankles, could conceal the natural youth and buoyancy and slen- derness of her tall body. "Thank yom, darling," Flora Camer- on sighed gratefully, when her niece set coitee, cream, and a glass of or- ange juice before her. "Has the mail come yet? Wild horses couldnt drag me out of bed at this ungodly hour if it were not the first of the month." "Not yet," Vera answered briefly, her eyes straying again to the morning pa- et as she raised her cup of tea to "I can never make up my mind whe- Cartwright grinned at her, her deli- cate little hand patting the deep, flat marcel wave in her tinted Han hair.

When Vera returned with the mail she carried her black felt hat and her dull-kid black leather handbag and a well-filled brief case in her hands "Did my alimony check come?" Flora demanded eagerly. "Oh thank the god of widows and orphans! Toss those hills to the sideboard, darling I don't want to spoil my hour of gloat ing hy the sight of them. Nicky isn't such a bad old scout, is he? 1 wonder if he's happy with that new wife of his? She's a red-head, I hear.

But if you're going out--" Vera demanded "Peter wants me to dine with him, go to a theater, then to a night club" her aunt admitted, sighing a little from last night's weariness, but there was a tender smile on her lips her niece had never seen without rouge "Bring home one of the young men from the office darling. It would do you good," "I'm afraid my employers wouldn't lips that Will you | and go out with us, | agree with you that it does a secretary Toure to dance till all hours of the night," Vera retorted, but her aunt understood the blush that swept over Vera's smooth , freckled cheeks to which rouge was a stranger. If Vera could conceivably so far forget herself as to ask one of her fellow workers to spend an evening with her, he would almost certainly refuse the in- vitation, "Besides," Vera added, "I have every hope of stepping into a promotion to- day.
