"There's lots to see 1n New York," he hinted, "and lots to do.’

“Ibr one who has leisure," Vai- eric agreed.

"Busy these days?"

"Very."

"So you're training to be a model?" Duke glanced at her. "I might help You. you know. My dad's advertis- iiie agency is getting ready for a big caIHDMSn for Nomad cigarettes. Maybe you know."

“Yes—D0t told me "

"Duke frowned and was silent a. minute "I haven't had the nerve in tell Dot. but she's not g-oing to be used as the model. after all The oiiclnnl Dian for the campaign has been thrown out, and Dot's the WYWIS WPe for the new set-up."

"Oh. that's n shame!" Valerie was genuinely dismayed. "Dot was counting so much On that job. She'll be terribly disappointed!"

"I know. but it can't be helped. Thats the way things go in the mo- deling game." Duke paused. then went, on. “But look here, I've been turning something over in my mind, I believe you'd be Just (.11 e type for this new stuff they're planning. How would you like for me to suggest you to my dad?"

"No." she said flatly.

"Because of Dot?" Duke asked.

She nodded

"I see your point but, after all. Dot doesn't qualify and she ought to be fair enough to prefer seeing you get the chance than some stranger "

"I couldn't" said Valerie. "When will you be through with you training?’

“In about four weeks " .

"Well , look-let me see if I can fix things with Dot. I think I can. In the meantime say nothing and work hard. Maybe I can arrange it.’

"Thank you. but-well. I wish you wouldn't." Valerie said -

When she reached home and let herself int/o the apartment. she was thankful that Dot was asleep and couldn't ask her questions that might have proved embarrassing.

She was filled with a feeling of guilt. Though she tried to convince herself that there was no harm in letting Duke bring her home, she was unsuccessful If she had turned him down, that would have been the end of Duke Maxwell.
