I told her what he had said about her.
She blushed and said. The ideal You
know how they can do it, 1 amt been
running an elevator for two years for
nothing. If you want to stand in with
women, just tell 'em anything you hear
real nice about 'em-understandp 1t makes
em awful mad, but they remember you at
Christmas.
1.-The very first ball that Miss Proctor
went to she made big hit. That's the
night Mr. Branford got stuck. I could
see it, He marched her all around the first
floor here and nearly talked an arm off her.
We run the elevator late that night, and
when I took her up she asked me if Mr..
Maynard over went to the Saturday night
dances. I told her no-that he didn't care
much for girls. AS soon as got chance
told Mr.. Maynard what she had asked
me- and he wouldn't believe it at first. It
was none of my business, of course, but
he's a nice man and amt stuck up over
his money, and he's done me many good
turn, and 1 thought I'd put him onto this
girl asking about him. Mr.. Branford's

sick at times.
Y "The first dance after told Mr.. May
nard he came down looking out of sight in
his full dress suit and loafed around the

with the girls) began to make hard play

was ready enough to wear flowers II he
wanted to send 'em, but know all the
time that she WASH t stuck ON him. When
she'd leave him and get on the elevator,
he'd grin at her and say in that soft way
he has, 'GoodbyP and she'd say 'Goodbyr
but;as soon as we got past the first floor
she'd laugh out loud, and I'd have to laugh
too. She knew all the time that I was on.
Mr.. Maynard met her once in awhile
in the elevator, and she acted different
with him. I amt very keen, but think
I could have caught on quicker than he
