BART WHITTAKER--a right. eous: bridegroom who looked at the bankbook first and his wife *CHAPTER 1 ) At first, when she saw the Yow- der blue gabardine suit, Iris did not think about Bart Whittaker, At first, there was just the shop window and the suit with the rich, gleaming strand of mink fur flung carelessly over one shoulder and the long suede gloves on the floor nearby. The suit. did something to her. Crystalized a desire that had "lain dormant, threading its uneasy way through so many things €he had done up to now. It was a suit year, this spring. Everyone wore them. Matrons, slim schoolgirls, business women, career girls, mothers. But only a few wore them as they should be worn. Only a few had the slend- er figure, the supple hips and the slim waist that made a suit just right. Everyone Knew Her Bart. She had to do something about Bart, really, She had. tried every- thing, done everything--still they were about where they were a year ago. Business was bad, Bart was cautious, thrifty and too proud to marry when he felt he couldn't support a wife. "I'll take it. with me, thanks," Tris. told the salesgitl. And the little blue book in her purse said, '"'cash-$15, balance due, $65, pay- ments weekly." Everyone knew Iris Ives, knew she worked in the dean's office, and was the best-dressed girl on the campus, the most popular, Few remembered that she had béen the best-dressed girl in 1931, or that she was the belle of Fraternity Row, that year, though. Only Iris, and = tiny calendar in her bed- room knew that. wrt, By the time she had discovered the tailored linen blouse with the French cuffs, the alligator. pumps, and the-pinscal purse, the weekly pay checks of Miss Iris Ives were mortgaged for six months to come. But by then, Iris didn't eare. By then, she was sure, - Bart would change his mind. The suit 'You ought to model, Miss Ives" the salesgirl had flattered her, when she tried on the suit. Secretly, Iris had always thougit she should too." But models led precarious lives, and a private sec- ~ retary, while not getting anything glamorous in the way of salary, did have a definite sum to depend on each week. . Do You Budget? kA "Do you budget,.- Miss Ives?" the salesgirl went on. Iris nodded, _| She honestly believed she did, She h tly believed this was the Fashion F lashes ! = The trend in fur coafs is defin- itely toward a clean-cut, fitted silhouette, and even the bulky furs, such as beaver, mink, mar. tens, Persian, and fitch, are being adapted. to this silhouette. The high, very small waist and full, .~ flared skirts soen at the last Paris openings ave -believed- to indicate -|-- the beginning of this new trend. The tendency is toward broad, flat shoulders and small collars. ---- Perfectly matched accessories of the identical violet shade of the woollen suit and hat, distinguish one little outfit.

There was the salad Ir® assemb- lett from lettuce, halves of can. ned péars and pineapple rings, and a jar of Mrs. Kemble's homemade salad dressing.

And Even*Bart raved about it, vo Good steak feed costs you $1.50 apiece, these times; and yon cook 'one for a fraction of that, | Uris. I" don't see how you do it." Iris never told him. Bart was a hound for figures and: if he knew how much these Saturday suppers cost her, there'd be a riot, Too, he thought she cocked the things herself, . "Nothing like home cooking," he was always saying. "Now take these rolls, and baked beans--I'il bet there isn't a house on Fac- ulty Row that has anything to touch them tcnight. Immigrant cooks, Saturday nights off, and their minds are on the clock and their dates, not the table." Ivis kept her own secret coun- sel and tried not to worry about _the two dollars, ¢r three that each supper bit out of her pocketbook, Home-cooked rolls were 35 cents a dozen, brown bread 25, fruit for the salad 20, mayonnaise 25, lettuce 15, steak 60,a pound, and _it came to 94 cents, and so on, to the berries' that were 856 a pint, and the half pint of ¢ream, 25. . It Was Worth It "Still it was worth it. Bart had his own little radio shop, and was coming along fine. And he was by far the most attractive man she had ever known. Though he hadn't reached the point yet wherein he vealized the value of dressing to look the part of a successful, ris- ing young business man. "What for," Iris?" he argued, when she mentioned a sale on men's suits once, "Why should 1 mortgage my future just to keep up with the Joneses? This suit is good enough for me--had it three years now, and there's still plenty of good -wear left in it. A man has to think of his bus- iness these days; can't put it all on your back and have anything left to snap up bargains with! So he. hadn't bought the - suit.

Not quite so tall as some of the glamor boys she had known from Fraternity Row but well-built, He had excellent shoulders, bread and square, and a flat stomach and lean hips. Long legs, and a grace- ful sort of swagger. And his fea- : tures were excellent. Thick, dark wavy brown hair and brown eyes, and a big mouth that didn't smile often, but revealed strong, white teeth and -a definite charm when he- did break into a grin, A sturdy, dependable yolng man, Bart Whittaker, Ambitious, thrifty. A good match, And when a girl was sliding into her 26th year, sha had to consider sueh things. : The Wifely Touch The evening paper was folded . on the smoking stand, and lris stool behind the new chair, wear- ing the new slipper satin house - coat that zipped to the very floor, and made her waist-look not an inch more than 20 inches. Bart flang open the door and grinned. "Hi, honey," he greeted her, Not noticing the new housccoat which had-cost $11," and was pal- est lilac satin with a sash of deep royal purple, noticing cnly the new lounge chair, so deep and in- viting' and comfortable looking. And the paper -on the smoking stand. "Hey, what is this, a wifely touch? Or do 1 notice a little solid cemfort offered the tired business man?" -2 "Goof," Irish chuckled, but sce- retly, -her mind was winging back to the new suit, spread out on the bed, and the new fur scarf and gloves, the handmade linen blouse." After supper, she'd put them on, to wear to the movies. After she had fed the brute, she'd spring the new suit, .and it would do what the lilac satin house coat, and the good food, and the comfortable lounge chair had failed to do. It woyld make Bart realize she was an attractive girl, Make him see she 'wouldn't lang- uish around unnoticed, un-apprec- -iated forever. "Over the shortcake, Iris men- tioned the offer the dean's wife had made her. , "They're going to Japan for the summer vacation, Bart, and they want me to go along too. He plans to do a book on his trav- els" \ "Great," Bart began enthusias- tically, "chance of a lifetime for you honey. Nothing like travel--- "1 and with all your expenses paid." Iris cleared away the things, stacked them in the sink. She slip: ped out of the house coat and in- to the sult, Then she canie out quietly, so not to rouse Dart from his paper. Standing before him, she swept the paper aside and watched recognition leap alive in his face. . " Sensible and Smart "You see, darling," she told him regretfully, "I might not come back to Linwood, after a-trip like that. Though of gourse there's a chance I, might decide not to accept the offer. If ., . if. .-" "Look, honey," Bart 'began pa: tiently, "I'm barely clearing $50 a week now. That: wouldn't run a house and pay. expenses.
