He mo- tioned her into a chair and began abruptly, "Just why don't you like men?" Ho watched the girl sharply as he asked the question, ; can spt silent and uncertain. The whole conversation was most discon certing. Her mind was completely occupied with the hundred and one concerns of her Job, Mr, Decker's sudden interest in herself confused her, She decided he was making fun of her and chose to Ignore the whole matter, "Mr, Decker, those Lansing people say they can't" "To the devil with the Lansing people!" he cried and thumped his desk, "I'm talking about you. An- swer me! Why don't you like men?" Jean knew he wus deadly in earns est, but still she hesitated before she answered, - She was trying to find words, discreet words, "T don't hate men, Mr. Decker. 1 just don't exist for them, or they for me.

Jean re- plied too promptly and, too indie nantly to eonvinge Mr, Decker, - He merely smiled, And when he smiled Jean saw again the vivid charming face of Jimmie Reinsford in his len- ther flying togs., Deep in her heart Jean knew she would do anything in the world to be beautiful == for Jim- mie, As Decker watched Jean he gath ered something of her thoughts, but he held his own counsel. If" his se- eretary understood him sometimes better than he did himsell, so he un- derstood her, ' "Too bad," he thought "Proba bly some young pup who can't ap- preciate her or "mever will, She'd make a fine wife for some discerns ing young man." And he wondered just how he might convince Jean of the error of her ways, "You wamen are funny," he said finally, as he' took a fresh cigar, aw Here 'yousare, renfarkably in. telligent, due tormake a lot of money some day It, you work hard and fol ot when I'm gure it's , aut 8 'mybusiness than 1 do, yet Ire!
