II, A lusty young baritone roared "Come in!" a summons which Vera Cameron, in spite of the strange new excitement which fluttered her usually well-controlled nerves, obey- ed noiselessly, as all good private secretaries should, She had entered so' noiselessly on her rubber-heeled oxfords that Jerry Macklyn had not heard her, and for a moment she was too as- tonished to appraise him of her presence, A husky young man, coatless, and with his shirt sleeves rolled above the elhow, was hunch- ed hefore a huge, flat-topped desk, which was completely covered with jars and bottles and powder boxes. Beneath his red hair one tanned cheek testified that nature had giv- en him a complexion to harmonize with that amazing hair of his but the other was completely submerged under a thick coating of cold cream "I--I heg your pardon," Vera stammered, unable to make up her mind whether to laugh or flee, leav- | ing this astonishing young man to 2 J 1927 bY NEA Service jt?" Jerry Mackl¥n recovered his confusion by reaching into an open drawer of his resk for a towel with which he began to rub his cold- creamed cheek vigordusly, "Just getting acquainted with our line," he grinned at her. 'Sure a fancy layout, isn't it? Judas Priest! 1 didn't know you girls had to wade through all this truck before you were ready to make an appearance. Smells nice, doesn't it?! he asked soclably, the tip of his short, broad nose wriggling as he sniffed the per- fumed air 'about him, "The perfume used in our COs- metics retails at eight dollars an ounce," era informed him, "Gosh! That right?" Jerry Macklyn fnished scrubbing at his cold-creamed cheek and attacked his rouged lips. "A little of the cold cream rub- bed into the lips will enable you to remove the rouge most effectively," Vera told him in even tones, which gave no hint of the desire to laugh which was almost upsetting he mor- ale as a perfect private secretary. "Thanks for the tip," Jerry grin- ned cordially, but his eyes were wary and shy, as if he had begun to realize that this impecable young woman did not approve of. him at all, His thick forefinger dug into the opened cold cream jar, brought up a lump big enough to grease his entire face and neck. "Guess you know all the tricks, eh?" "I don't use lip rouge," Vera an- swered primly, "Good thing for our business that all girls aren't like you," Jerry mumbled at her through the towel with which he was removing the la- ther of cold cream tinted with lip rouge, 'What I mean--" he added as he noted the vivd flush of anger that swept over her pale, freckled face, is that it's a good thing for| us that a lot of girls need lip rouge." He pushed back his chair, rose, rolled down his sleeves, "Did I say 1 was glad to have you, Miss Cameron? We got a slew of work ahead of us. [I asked for the cleveresy girl in the outfit and they told me that was you. Now, THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 1927 RINCESS dnne Qustin if you'll transfer: you belongings from Benham's department to mine, we'll get down to business. By the way I wish you'd bring me all the pamphlets and other descriptive gold bottles and jars and boxes with thay single spray of peach blossoms are the niftiest things in the cosmet- ies line I've ever seen, Makes a girl feel pretty luxurious to dig a hunk of cold cream out of this, doesn't it?" He lifted a black, squat round jar, and turned iy admigingly in his big hands. "Dull gold top, a gold band around the bottom and that embossed spray of peach blos- soms idat look so real you want to pick 'em off and smell 'em. Ought At The New Martin Dolores Costello, celebrated in other great sea pictures, is again starred in a melodrama of stormy waters--""A Million Bid," a Warner Brothers' production, which comes to the New Martin Theatre tonight fo a run of two days, Tn "A Million Bid," Miss Cos- telio is cast as a poor little rioh girl, the victim of her mother's matter you can lay your' hand on. to photograph like a million dollars, scinshness, She is practically sold And a sales report showing the rela- | hunh?" tive popularity of the different ar-, ticles we put out, as well as a chart showing the relative profit.

While Vera was carrying out his instructions swiftly and accur- ately, she revised her first amused and contemptuous opinion of him, He was nobody's fool and she sensed in his vital: young body and alert mind that gleamed through his bril- liant blue eves, a capacity for work that more than matched her own, She would have to hustle to keep up with him, and that knowledge made her step buoyantly and swift- ly. When she returned to his office he was standing before the exhibit of Peach Bloom Cosmetics which he had accumulated on hig desk, his flaming head cocked to one side, hand thrust deep into. his pockets, a quizzical calculating gleam in his blue eyes, "Pretty things, aren't they," he challenged her, These black and { DIAMONDS BURNS JEWELRY STORE 1, 1925 Fowl Tudor Sedan, balloon tires and many extras, 1, 1024 Ford Tudor Sedan, Chadburn Motor Sales PRINCE 87.

"Pretty names," he mused, as his | bright eyes traveled rapidly down the list of "Peach Bloom Powder in Blond, Brunet, Titian and Hazel shades--hazel! Guess that's your shade, isn't it, Miss Cameron? I'd take Titian, I suppose," his boyish laugh rang out. "If you hadn't in- terrupted me, caught me in the act of beautifying myself, I'd have tried | it out. They've got a whole bag of tricks, haven't they--skin food, bleach, cleansing cream, hand lo- tion--what's this--Star Lash??" "That Is a mascara, It comes in both liquid and cake form, in four shadejs, blond, Titian, frown and | black.

When she had finished, she tore the sheet from the machine and march- ed into Jerry Macklyn's private of- fice, "That's absolutely all I know ahout Peach Bloom Cosmetics from to a middel-aged man of the world, and separated from the the youth she loves, It is on the rich man's yacht, just after the marriage, that the boat goes down, bearing with it ue mother, and apparently, the bridegroom.
