CHAPTER II
1 ARRIVKD at last! Mr. Pappe had
given Marcia the name of a good and
reasonably priced hotel. She selected
h«r baggage for a red cap, and fol
lowed him down the lons platform to
a taxicab. The long pauses in the
iraffle jams thrilled her. The hotel
lobby impressed her. Mr. Pappe had
referred to it as plain, but good.
Marcia thought that it was palatial.
Her hand trembled when she signet!
her name and turning abruptly to
follow the bellhop across the lobby,
she almost crashed Into a mirrored
panel that her confused eyes failed
to focognizc as a wall.
She flushed scarlet with vexation,
and did not dare to glance around to
ascertain how many had witnessed
her stupidity. The elevator shot up
to the eighteenth floor, by successive
degrees. She was the last passenger.
It occurred to her then, even in her
confusion, that the lowest priced
, . rootns jefe OD thp top, doors of city
hotels. And' she resolved Tbit some
1 day she would step off at the lower
floors, even the second.
The boy preceded her Into the room,
turning on all tbr lights: the ceiling,
the writing table and eveo lh€ bash
room lights—although it was early

through .the chintz-curtained wUtdo#?"

Again. Marcia inspected b« r sur

occurred to her that-from now on. ail
her surroundings would be temporary.
She smiled at her reflection in the
mirror.

ranged near the entrance to the

anticipated, and the sales of tbe day
astonished her. ,
At Haley’s suggestion, she returned
to the hotel early, to find that she
was very tired. ' The Strait) es the
day and the restless night, combined
with the excitement, added to a Weary

the third day found her quite as con
