Regardless of what Larry said to Mrs. Brent, he and the rest of the family did worry about Jean a good deal, But not for the reason sur mised by Mrs. Brent.

He was tanned impéccably tailored, and very. Continental looking as he step ped into his brother's handsome of- fice: "Certainly hope there's a fat check waiting for me," he thought as. his eyes rested on Jean, busily occupied over at her desk by the window, "Hello, how's the lion tamer!" he ingly down at her, Jean looked back at this handsome, smiling young man rather disapprovingly. She liked this younger brother ot her employ- er bettér than any other member of his ramily, a family for which she had a healthy contempt, She hated the way they worked the millionaire for checks and motors and houses and divorces. 'She hated their neglect of him, their: lack of affection for him, §he knew jus how much their idle, vadteful ways and their indifference hurt' Mr, Decker, As for Larry at least he was frankly a waster. And 'he. was always ind and affectionate to Mr. Decker when he saw him, Of course:he always wanted money, but he was usually, charming and amus- Ang, while the girl§ were apt to be haughty and patronizing, "At least Larry doesn't pretend to be a great social light. .

"Larry, you're. wrong about this girl," he insisted, He was taking their conversation with the utmost seriousness. "She has beautiful eyes and. a lovely soul. If she had a face like the Ugly Duchess shie'd be beau- tiful with such a soul, What you see in Jean that is unattractive is that she doesn't like mem and men She admires their business + minds, and that's that, fice they simply do not exist, That is, none of them except me. She's fond of me." Larry raised his eyebrows, But Decker was too intent on his dis cussion to' even notice, "She's got an anti-man complex, That's what you see in her and that's why you think shes impossible, She's really fine Jooking."

"Has this girl ad her heart broken or something? Or is'she just a man hater?" "Just a man hater," Decker an- swered calmly, "I'm'the'only excep- tion." >i "I'll leave the girls with the beau- tiful souls to you," Larry said as he gathered up his hat and stick, "I'll take them with a beautiful face.

"Ten thousand to one you can't fod anather Ian. in the world to call Jean pretty!"
