were just growing into more expen-
sive items for her mother. A year or
two longer, then—
Floods of hurry shoppers poured
through the swinging and revolving
doors all day. Those revolving doors
always reminded Marcia of food chop-
pers, pouring out their portions of
humanity a little at a time. The
toilet goods counter faced them di-
rectly, so that few people passed it
without a glance for its displays and
its attendant, even if they did not in-
tend to buy. Most of the glances
were smiles and nods of greeting, or
even a few words exchanged. These
Marcia’s
beauty was the most convincing ad-
vertisement of her products, al-
though'she never capitalized it, con-
sciously—which was even more effec-
tive.
It was strange, however, come to
think of it, that the thoughts of
beauty seekers were not diverted to
the extraneous plainness of Mamie
Dutton, at the next counter. Of
course, when a woman buys darning
cotton, safety pins and bias tape, she
seldom connects their utility with the
beauty of the salesgirl. But, being so
closely associated as she was with
the convenient aids to beauty, one
might wonder why they di<j not lure
Mamie. Evidently, the two-foot aisle
which separated their domains, mads
all the difference in the world. For
Mamie’s skin was sallow and blotchy,
her hair dank and colorless, her eyes
~ pale and lusterless, her lips thin and
shapeless, her nose broad and blunt;
In contrast to Marcia’s creamy, satin,
shining, star - eyed, sweet - lipped,
dainty-nosed loveliness.
Which contrast did not escape the
alert eye of Percy DuMott, the small,
dapper, immaculately groomed
stranger who strolled casually into
Pappe’s department store on that
Saturday afternoon, and lingered near
the cosmetics department for a con-
siderable time, while he watched
Marcia's sales methods with InteresL
Marcia watched him, too. She was
too well acquainted with the few men
of Mitchel field who passed through
those revolving doors, not to recognise
this stranger who was quite obviously
of another world than hers. The
nonchalant manner in which he
leaned on his walking stick, ths
turned down cuff of his glove, the tilt
of his hat, the snug fit of his clothes

over that distant horizon.

WILLIAM HOWARD GARDINER,
president of the Navy League, whom
temerity in charging President Hoo-
ver with "abysstnal ignorance” of
naval affairs, started something that
will end tn sharp congressional de-
bates, is author of tho view that
"North’ America, particularly the
United States, has ceased being vir^
tually self-sufficient and is taking on
the character and outlook of a great
island centrally placed in tho oceanic
world.”
Ho has written many magaslne ar-
ticles elaborating on that theme.
Gardiner was born in staid Boston,
March 84, 1S7S. Educated in a Jesuit
. boarding school, in Franco, lSM-’88.
Then returned to Boston to attend
varlouo private schools. Was a spe-
cial student at the Massachusetts Tg-
^stituto of Technology, 1891-’96.
From 1900-1907 he was construc-
tion engineer for gas companise in
Boston. Then in 1007 he became
. associate partner with Henry L.
Doherty, in New York, in engineer-
ing, management and financing of
publip utilltlea.
Retired from business August, 1114,
for war work.
He’s now president of tho Navy
League tor the second time.
"Admiral" Gardiner, aa hie friends
call him, is said to know aa much
about naval affairs as any real ad-
miral in the rfkvy. yet ho never has
been a member of tho service.
A large U. H navy le his hobby In
Hto, and he strives endlessly, through
tho Navy League, to make his dream
a renllty. The league ia made up of
retired naval officers and civilians.

pinafores and half-socks. Later, self, she was terribly fond of Ted. But
there were times when he bored her
with his tirefess devotion. There
were times when she revolted at the
confining monotony of her life. Pappe
paid her more than any other cierk(
demanded, and as much as she could
earn anywhere else In Mltchelfleld.
But she dreamed of the future,
dreamed of strange places, strange
people, some fascinating work —
dreamed of one day seeing the world,
when the fetters of her responsibility
should be severed. She pored over
haunting travel books of distant
places, glamorous tropics, snow-
capped mountain peaks, trackless
deserts and heaving seas. Dreamed
of one day steaming home for oc-
casional visits, with her label-pasted
baggage overflowing with gowns from
Paris. Hers was an inherited love of
the unknown, the uncertain, the fan-
tastic, the thrilling danger which had
made her father risk his life as an
aviator. Soaring above the clouds.
CHARTER 1
THE PAPPE & SON department
•tore, largest mercantile establish-
ment In Mltchelfleld. was arousing it-
self noisily, to meet the activities of
the day. It shook and dusted and
removed white cambric shrouds from
bulgy forms, rearranged and settled
itself into Its most attractive mien
That Is, the sc/fl-es of girls who
bustled and whisked and called about,
were supplying the activity; but
Pappe A Son. being the distinctive
and consummate organization that it
was. resembled some living monster
■tlrrlng Itself from somnolence.
Marcia Moyer, who presided In the
perfumes and cosmetics department,
ripped open new cartons of powders
and creams, polished and rearranged
the crystal, slender-stemmed, urn-
shaped bottles of perfumes and
sprayed the stock and herself, gen-
erously. with an exotic scent from an
atomizer. Then she opened her vanity
case and consulted her Image In the
small mirror, turned around to peer
critically Into the larger mirror on
the wall behind her—and assumed a
sycophant smile for the early shop-
pers who already were swinging
through the doors.
Walting for sales, Marcia was not
idle. Her hands busied themselves
with the displays, moving the delicate
colorful articles gently and carefully |
almost lovingly, about. Marcia > 1
hands were lovely to look at. mad<
to handle delicate things, model, c
with long, tapered fingers that were i
strong and gentle. But they alwa\?
were active, and they could work
even at unlovely tasks. If you hap-
pened to notice Marcia’s hands—per - i
haps first attracted by the articles I
which you were Intent upon purchas I
Ing—as soon as she spoke, your gaze |
traveled swiftly, oh. ever so swiftly,
as If startled, to Marcia’s face. That
was because her exquisitely modu-
lated voice impelled you to investi-
gate this person who served you with
lovely hands and a charming voice.
But when you looked at Marcia, you
- Instantly,.fqrgpt ’her hands and her
voice. In your astonishment nt her
beauty.
Needless to say that Marcia was
beautiful—dazzllngly so. Shrewd em-
ployers choose beautiful girls to sell
beauty accessories as modistes select
perfect models for displaying gowns
qnd wraps. But Marcia was not
merely beautiful. She was like
sparkling sunshine and rhythm and
rar* essence and vivid flashes of color
all magically combined Into smiles,
gracious sweetness and practicality. A
rare human synthesis of a form as
graceful as the most symmetrical per-
fume container In her stock, color-
ing so delicate and so vivid that it
would challenge imitation by the
most skillful artist. graciousness
such as queens strive to cultivate,
and an elusive quality that you could
not define, but that made you like her
Instantly. Some would call it per-
sonality, others style, others sophisti-
cation. Whatever It was. she had it.
The best part of beauty is that which
no likeness or words can express.
Perhaps she only sold you a new box
of the same face powder that you had
used for years, but you walked away
from Marcia’s counter feeling as if
you had made a very satisfactory
purchase of unusual merit
Which was one of the many rea-
sons why the eldef Pappe never had
regretted hiring her for her looks and
obvious common sense. Inexperienced
as she was at seventeen, when she
had appealed to him for a position
Shocked, bereaved and tragically dis-
couraged with life. Marcia had faced
the situation bravely when her
father’s early death had left her
mother with five young charges, of
which she was the oldest During the
four years since that desperate day,
years which she had planned to de-
vote to high school and special train-
ing. Marcia had proved to be the best
salesgirl in the organization.
At first, the work had been Irk-
some. a forced substitute for the
thing she wanted most to do. But It
wasn’t like Miircla to shirk a duty
and plty^hcrself She became Inter-
ested In her work, studied her depart-
ment and Its possibilities, made timid
suggestions at first, learned and pro-
gressed. from assistant salesgirl to

Marcia’s beauty was the most convincing advertisement of her products.
the first embarrassment she ever had
experienced with Ted. "You sound
as If I had nothing to say about it"
"Why. Marcia, honey, don’t you
know yet that I love you? And you
love me. too, don’t you?" he asked,
almost fearfully.
"I don’t know. Ted," after a she dared not think too much about

be no other way. "Am I right

"Perhaps—some day, Ted. But
that's so far away, let’s not even talk
about It now. I'll have to see Mumsy

“Maybe—nothing.

But Ted’s love never had thrilled
Marcia. He was more like a brother, led, invariably, to sales,
except more dependable. Too reliable,
perhaps, for she had grown as accus-
tomed to Ted and his love as to her
family, her job, al) Mltchelfleld. Ted,
who had been christened Theodore,
called Teddy in his Infancy, and
thereafter—just Ted. You would no
more call him Theodore than you
would wear a top hat to a beach
picnic. His eyes always laughed and
shone unless he were deeply troubled.
