"I know it would be no place for chop girls," Jerry replied, stili eyeing him candidly.

You mean for chorus girls," Alester corrected. "Forget your department store, derry, and"Shik voice became very serious--"please forget yesterday. Let's declare a new dial. Tule the ring; chose it beenuse it belongs to you, and I'll try to stop wishing anything you wouldn't like."

Evelyn looked at her coldly.

"I'm taking advantage of the re-rule you girls applied to me," she Bald calmly. "I wish to have Miss Ray sit here-that's the rule, you know. Friends may have places together even if someone else must change."

"That's some of Alester Car- stairs's boleney." she jeered "That bimbo's going to have you eating out of his hand yet."

"Nothing," Jerry said with a flush. "Mr. Weinertz was indebt- fed to him."

"Then you don't owe him any- thing," Myrtle said pointedly. "And don't you let him forget it."

"Is that go?" the girl in black; satin drawled. "Well, I won't move, see?"

She jerked a stool before the place that Evelyn had cleared for Jerry and popped down on it with decisive finality. Jerry saw her fect twine about the legs of the aicol as though they meant to stay there.

Evelyn said nothing more. She was tight-lipped with anger, but she controlled It admirably.

"Go call for help," the other girl sneered as she walked, away.

Jerry realized soon that Evelyn had gone for the mistress of the wardrobe, for she returned with the latter in less than a minute.
