ohSui, MdTklt,
m begged Moliie. IT
nm vl>> want to talk.
.EYl Seems as though
we hadn't had talkfest for ages. :"
"All right. go ahead" ae-
quiesced as | turned the hot water
over the silver.
DO you believe what Dick said
about motoring with your boss.
Margie?"
"Oh. Mollie, Mollie, we have
been over that numberless times
and up to date you have agreed
with me that ii was hazardous.
Now you have some doubts
what has changed your mind?"
DO YOU remember. Margie.
what | told you when that first
man | worked for asked me to go
to lunch with him?"
II believe you said you were
afraid that you refused not be-
cause you had any moral scruples
but that you did not like the
man."
That's just 1t, Margie, I now
like the man."
What"
II like the man. You know
that | changed my position a few
weeks ago. | am the secretary
OF the man who owns the Daily
-. He has just come here.
and Margie, he Is the grandest
man ! ever knew. He certainly
is going to make that old news
paper stand for something. 1t is
a pleasure to know that | am
helping In the work"
rs your greatest pleasure,
Mollie, helping in the good work
or helping him."
Mollie hesitated a minute and
then said:
THAT is what Dick meant
when he said that there was sex
In loyalty. Margie, | would not
own 1t to anyone but you, but
am afraid that | would rather
help him than the cause"
Yes. Mollie, dear. | guess Dick
meant that women were loyal to
people and men to causes. II is
because men as rule are more
ambitious than women. We have
not learned yel that II is gener-
ally unnecessary to sink our SYM
pathies and ourselves out of sight
in some mans battle
But the battle that Mr.. Hat
ton is waging is a righteous one."
"Of course 1t is, my dear, but
| don't delude yourself that II is
necessary for you to stand beside
him with first aid every min
ute
Let me tell you about the
motor trip. l had been working
like dog. l even had my lunch
brought In to me. | had not had
a breath of air all day. Mr.. Hat
ton said: Which way do you go,
Miss Waveriy, maybe can take
you on my way home
81 told him, and he said L live
out beyond you and / am sure a
drive through the park in a motor
will rest you more than a seat in
a crowded car
Nov, Margie, wouldn't be a
| narrow-minded little piece of
vanity IL | should for a moment
attribute that offer to anything
more than good will on his part?
II / had said No he would have
thought me q silly little fool"
$50 you said Yes, and brought
upon your head your brothers
WRATH"
do you think Dick is right,
i Margie?" asked Mollie with a
usefulness that was pathetic as
it showed she did not want to
give up her friendship with her
new boss.
my dear child, don't know"
I answered. There have been
many times when these sudden
business friendships have turned
out all right. Your new boss
may be all that you think him,
but, my dear, l wonder II he
would be as solicitous about your
fatigue II you we're not about the
sweetest little girl l know"
"Margie, you are the dearest
thing. No other woman ever told
me l was sweet. | hope you are
right. l wonder IL Mr.. Hatton
is married."
"Oh, Mollie, Mollie dear, you
have pointed the moral of Dick S
harangue. It's the old, old story
since male and female created
He Them"
