Thursday, August 27th, 1936 cute as those other girls who didn't know what it was to hit the keys of a typewriter, to toll all day in an of­ fice, and sell their freedom for a pal­ try pay envelope? It wasn’t fair. No, it wasn’t! Then Stanley rose and took his hat from the rack, holding the door of his office open. The girls passed down the corridor accompanied by him. A dull fury swept through her. But even as they passed her desk and Maris noticed the coy glances Rowene gave Stanley, Miss Riggs put some records on her desk. “You’ve got to be very careful with this letter," she told the^girl. “There are a lot of figures in it, and. as quo­ tations on piece goods are being giy- en at frightfully low- prices, you must be sure and get them all right." She paused beside Maris for a moment. "Y'ou’d better let me go over this after you finish, for a slip in any of these quotations bight mean a terrible loss for the house.” “All right,” answered Maris, slip­ ping a sheet of carbon between the letter-head and the second sheet be­ fore she put them in her machine. But even as she put on her ear­ phones and started the machine going, her thoughts followed Stanley and the young society' buds who had lured him from his desk so easily. While her slender fingers,, transcribed the words that she heard, back in her mind her thoughts were busy con­ trasting her life with that of the girls who evidently thought an office was merely another amusement place. Hour after hour she worked, with but a short breathing space for lunch, for many of the salesmen were in from the road, and the correspond­ ence room was deluged with their work. She glanced at the clock. Five minutes to five. Well, she’d not be in too great a hurry- to finish the let­ ters she was working on, or Miss Riggs might give her some. more. The five o’clock whistle sounded. The hum of marching feet echoed all around. Maris raised her eyes. The last cylinders had been given out. She would turn her letters in now. But when she reached the desk, Miss Riggs said, “Oh, just a minute. We've got to check over that letter with the quotations. I put it to one! side here it is?’ i Gradually’ the room emptied as the! girls hurried from their desks. At last j Miss Riggs said, “I guess that’s all; right," and rising, hurried with the] letter to the vice-president's office. Maris went back to her desk and cor- | ered her machine. She was just put­ ting away her eraser and carbon pap­ er when she heard a light footfall be-; .>sde ner. , 3 The women’s planting implement, «an«nS up, she saw young Stanley J whfcfc lhey u_ed sMng< ws ab.u: 3 , i toot tern? ana nvc mcisc* usimu. ue-. licry „ - -I r* nj... 3 ginning at foe corner ot the teeki, - still ’ . - . , . 1• the women made a semes ©t noses, i about three feet apart, into which aii H they placed four grains ©£ -com and ■ Hw«3 beans, and covered them with I earth.

His coining had caused | flutter of excitement in many 1 girls* hearts. Some of the youthful I stenographers had openly discussed young man j their chances of catching the wealthq young man, who, like many another college boy, had assured his friends he was going to revolutionize his fa­ ther's business. As Maris gar.ed at him, she noticed I his sleek black hair, his swarthy com­ plexion and his restless, dark eves. When he lit a cigarette the gleam of a jewel in the quaint ring.he wore on his Hnall finger, caught her eye, while she felt a glow of satisfaction in his immaculate clothes. "I bet he pays at least a hundred dollars for a suit," she thought to herself, noting his smartly cut morn­ ing suit, "and he has a different one on every day. They say he gets them all made by some grand London tail­ or, .and he wears imported shoes and hats. Oh, gosh, doesn't he look swell!" A faint frown of discontent twisted her dainty lips. A girl would be lucky to get a man like that along with all his father’s millions? Didn’t someone say his grandmother had left him a million, too? Gosh, s$me folks have the luck! "Now." she thought, “if only I had the money to dress like the girls he goes around with, I’m sure I'd look- just ns well. Oh, wouldn’t it be grand to marry a man who could give you gorgeous clothes and jewels and cars? Someone who would take you to Eur­ ope and anywhere you wanted’’’ Then a far-away look came into her eyes, for swiftly she remembered Rod. But then she pouted. Why didn't Rod bother more about his { clothes? Often she wished he would wear them better, have them pressed oftener, and . . . But a wistful smile crept around the corners of her rosy Ups. Rod was a dear. He had been good to her. That time when she had | the flu he had nearly bankrupted him- j self sending her flowers. He knew she loved them- Again a look of discontent crept • her eyes. If she married Rod 'd have to live in some cheap lit- bungMow, for he had told her lie wanted to live in the country even it he had to become a commuter. Well, Maris wasn't so sure she liked the id.a-. She loved the noise and the excitement of New Y ork. country kind of gave her the It was $o quiet.
