rapidly has this bureaucracy expand-

Senator Byrd says also, citing an-

buildings outside of Washington. Be-

CHAPTER XL
Two weeks later, Mrs Vanda veer
and Jimmy returned from Europe.
He had not known that the deter-
mined lady would be aboard.
She had embarrassed him in Paris
by pursuing him, making it perfect-
ly evident that she was ready for
anything, including an affair* de
eoeur with him. but—because of his
platonic attitude and his absorption
in his work—she had made little
headway, and been much annoyed
thereby.

in the paper this mor-r-neeng about
her ‘Angel’? That- ees Meester
Vandaveer who fee-nances her in
her new shop. And ees Meester
Quackenbush few-ree-ousl Oh boy!”
(Mr. Quackenbush was indeed
angry that he had let Luana go I
Yvonne did not yet know it, but the
axe was hanging over her own head,
for her officious interference about
Luana, and shortly she would be
fired from the shop!)
“Anything else you have told
him, Yvonne?”
“I tell him she make passes for
you, and so we have par-r-ted. And
I tell -him also about 'An'some
Carew. That he pay her beells in
the hos-pee-tal! That he stay with
her at the shore club. That now
she has even a rtecher ’Angel.’
Then I geev him‘her new address
and he go there!”
Jimmy taxied from the House of
u? *1?, Quackenbush to 66A on East 56th
‘ Street. He did not go in bv the
shop. He went in by the side en-
trance, to the elevator, pressed the
button and shot up to the roof.
Luana had tended to the little
garden. It bloomed with tubs of
roses and boxes of gay geraniums
and rock-plants. The penthouse
looked luxurious in this setting.
Quite a little love-nest, in fact.
She had painted her front door
a bright red, and on either side of
it was set a tub of gay rhododen-
drons. They seemed to smile at him
cheekily as he stood there, an in-
sistent finger, a possessive finger on
the electric button by the door. The
sound of his ring echoed through
the little penthouse.
A maid who looked like the sou-
brette out of a musical comedy an-
swered his summons.
“Madame is engaged. I cannot
Interrupt her. She is busy.”
The maid was only one of the lit-,
tie midinettes from the shop below,
but she fancied herself of great im-
portance in the frilly 60-cent apron
of white organdie she wore over her
black satin working garb.'
But”, to Jimmy’s niind, worked Into
suspicion by Yvonne and Mrs. Van-
daveer, she was part of the exotic
background, part of Luani’s set-
ting . .
Jimmy said grimly: “I will wait.”
It was a blazing August after-
noon. The little maid thought he
was very good-looking, and looked
thirsty. She brought him a Tom
Collins She was exceeding her au-
thority in so doing, but she was an
ardent movie-attender, and fancied
herself in the role of barmaid to a
handsome admirer of her mistress.
He drank the Tom Collins, then he
became restless.
Darn it all, to be kept waiting on
the roof! He wandered along the
ig- tiled paving. His eyes nearly popped
)id out of his nead as he glimpsed Mr.
Joel Vandaveer through a window
giving on a short indoor corridor.
Mr. Vandaveer was leaving, with
his lawyer, but Jimmy”had only
taken one angry look, and did not
eveh see the latter . . he only saw
the “Angel” of the scurrilous gos-
sip item.
Two minutes later, he was in the
studio-livingroom.
“And who is paying for all thia,
may I ask?”
It was a new. a sarcastic Jimmy
who regarded her quiuically.
Luana flushed hot with indignation.
"These are my business premises.
What do you mean?”
“Exactly what I’m saying.” Her
beauty seemed a further accusation,
somehow Could a girl be as lovely-
looking as Luana, and be straight, in
this city of wolves and Jackals?
“Jimmy. I’m working like sin for
my opening. This is the big oppor-
tunity of my life.”
Working like sin?
What an extraordinary expres-
sion! Symbolic, wasn’t it?
But it was part and parcel of her
deception.
Yvonne's revelations had been
terribis. To think they had been
friends — more than friends — and
Luana had hidden her marriage
from h<in! *
” 1-ook here, Luana, what expla-
nation have you to make? I know

'petition in
with the Exposition
:t«d. His building de-
igns were splendid. But he had
told her that it would be unlucky
to let anyone see them. That had
also annoyed her.,
When the ship got to Quarantine,
the New York papers came aboard.
Immediately Mrs. Vandaveerturned
to the gossip columns. In a tabloid,
among others she round the follow-
ing items, under the Intrii
heading of "DO YOU KNO1

rich, mysterious Ange) from

tertaining in her new and beau-
tiful penthouse, and that said

With a peculiar smile upon
face, she took this straight
Jimmy 'Randolph.
• • •
The ship was due to dock at ten
o'clock that morning but, because
of fog down the channel, there was
a delay of four hours.
. Luana waited on the dock till
eleven-thirty. Getting no satisfac-
tion from officials, she went back to
the shop, for she was inordinately
busy because of the approaching
opening. -
At one o’clock she taxied to the
dock again, but there was no sign of
the vessel. An appointment with
Mr. Vandaveer and his lawyer at
two o’clock necessitated her return
to her apartment. They, too, were
delayed. It vias after half past tw6
when they arrived.
Meantime, worried about her non-
appearance and still more worried
about the disturbing gossip item in
the tabloid Mrs. Vandaveer had
showed to him early that morning,
Jimmy drove straight to the hotel
address Luana had given him al-
though her latest letters had been
from San Franciaco.
Randolph was informed at the
hotel that ahe had left aome weeks
ago and that they had no forward-
ing addresa. Which was untrue.
Luana’a mail had been sent her rei
ularly. But a new and rather atupl
clerk was at the desk when Jimmy
called.
Jimmy went from the hotel to the
House of Quackenbush, in search of
Yvonne Dautrey.
Luana had not expatiated on the
quarrel between herself and the
French girl, but merely told him in
her lettera that she had been wrong-
ly accused by Mr.-Quackenbush of
“style bootlegging" and had quit
her job, soft-pedalling the whole
situation, ao as not to worry the
abaent Jimmy over-much.
When Jimmy arrived at the ta-
lon, Yvonne took him Into an ante-
room, and, as she afterwards told
Armand delightedly, “gave heem an
ear-r-fool!”
“I haf told him she is mar-r-ied
to a eraa-maa^tal / So white he go.
I thought he would faint!”
"Mon Dian, what else did you tell
him?” the avenged Armand in-
quired. Luana had called him a
worm, and a rat, and had insulted
him badly. Yvonne did right to get
even with her.
“I told him plenty, Armand. 1
; shoved heem the newspaper deep-
ing I got back from Meester Quack-
enbusn. The one that show Luana

ton,’ and then that he get ten years'
str-r-etch for swindleeng the pub-
lic!”
•< v -rirl!” said Armand, for he
One week later, Luana’s dress-
shop had its opening, and the rich-
est women in New York piled tn.
The gowns were voted lovely.
Much more original and beautiful
and becoming to the American fig-
ure than anything that had been
seen in the town for a long time!
Behind banks of flowers in the
salon, an orchestra played all that
afternoon. Lovely models paraded,
and there were champagne cock-
tails, and cigarettes and an endless
variety of patiaaaria and little sand-
wiches, for Mr? Vandaveer had giv-
en the caterers carte blanch*, so
that the opening was as lavish in
refreshment as anything that took
place among the eoutnnara abroad.
Twenty-two gowns were ordered
at the opening, at prices ranging
from |150 to >225.
Many of the Quackenbush clien-
tele were there, expressing them-
selves as much more intrigued with
Luana’s styles than with those orig-
insting from the maiaon on Fifth
Avenue!
"Revenge is sweet,” whispered one
rich woman who knew, tn a round-
about way, how wrongfully Luana
had been accused.
“I’m not thinking of revenge. I’m
only thinking about business,” said
Luana.
Which was an exaggeration. ...
For her mind worked painfully on
Jimmy Randolph and his non-ap-
pearance at her opening.
A note had come from him at the
last minute—a curt little message
that could be read tn two way* . ..
“Congratulations on achieving
your ambition.”
Somehow, her triumph was but
dust and ashes now , . .

In 1930, the Federal debt was $16,-
000,000.000 Today it approaches $36.-
000,000,000—because in recent’ years
Federal expenditures have exceeded
revenue by about. 100 per cent.
Thhs we are now^in a position sim
ilar to that of the post-war days, when
the nation faced a tremendous debt,
largely occasioned by loans to for-
eign powers. After the war, however,
the government operated with rea-
sonable economy and efficiency, and
the debt was steadily cut down. To-
day the debt reduction problem is not
so simple, for the Federal govern-
ment. to an extent hitherto unknown,
has become a vast and constantly ex-
panding bureaucracy, that costs
more than $7,000,000,000 a year.
Senator Byrd of Virginia, one of
the few congressional advocates of
real economy,* has cited some as-
tounding figures. The Federal civil

would seem.” His glance went round
the pretty penthouse with its luxu-
rious carpet, then to the glowingly
lovely Luana.
“I've got to get ahead. I love
working. Why’’—growing resent-
ful at his penetrating look—“it was
you yourself who encouraged me in
making designs for dresses. .Why
shouldn't I have a place of my own?
It was made hateful for me at Mr.
Quackenbush’s, and the salary was
awfully poor. Now I have my
chance, and you—why. you’re Jeal-
ous!”
It was an unfortunate remark,
coming on top of the tabloid scan-
dal item. - .
“It seems 1 can’t keep up with
the competition. Again may I ask.
who is paying for all this?*'
“1 can’t teH you. It’s a—a pri-
vate arrangement."
“Not so private as you think. You
can't get away with things in thia
town, Luana. Did you see the morn
ing paper? It was most—enlighten-
She stared white-faced at him.
“I didn’t see any morning papers
I’ve been much tqo busy.”
"So? Everyone else has read
them. Mrs. Vandaveer on the boat
thia morning—’’
“Ahl That accounts for the way
you’re behaving tc me! SHE tree
travelling with you!” breathed
Luflna.
As proud as Jimmy, she could be
equally resentful and antagonistic.
“You decline to tell me who has—
established you?” he asked stiffly.
It was a vital clause in her con-
tract that she must tell no one about
Mr. Vandaveer’s partnership with
her. She must abide by it. So she *•
declared: “It’s not in my power,”
adding coldly, “You have no—right
to ask.”
He bowed, formally. “Appar-
ently not, since you have made new
and more lucrative arrangements in
my absence. Don't let me stand in
your way. You can count me ’out’."
