" - fNphNf .

Paula. 'aA | left Emma 20 20 up 20
my room. felt her motto was a
good one. !. too. looked into a lit
tie cracked glasn al the side 81 the
family burning EaH Jet. and said TO
tho already aaddoning face. Smile.
darn you. smile''
Then smiled az the incongru-
ity Of Il all. AMI ran downstairs
again 90 see Emma She looked
mo over more carefully than usual
Her eyes travelled from my Gus
tom.made shoes % my imported
bat
"'You certainly have class. she
said. and " you have the stamina
to back II. ! can put you Ia a 20
Hition where yol can mako coolies
OF money
II looked up quickly.
Tho hat girl NJ the restaurant

Perhaps ! vas too LONG sileni.
for Emma said;
"'if yea don't want u. say so
Kid You see. whom I told the boss
about YOU. had not seen you with
Horace Chambers. and ! can see
now II would be rather hard 20
take his hat from him when be
comes in Nith any ~ N. girls
from LAX. Forest or some grand
place. don't blame you. kiddo
but I thought II would be grand
place for you TO get back some 81
the money YOU lost the other day.
You could save up enough TO
keep you sir months while you are
looking for a real job
- dnat believe I'll care a brass
tack about what "Hod" Chambers
thinks OF me. I gaid When 81
stands between n Girl and starva-
ton. and she IS offered an honest
way TO get her living. she would
be n fool II she let little silly
pride stand 10 her way
you arc right. Kid. said En-.
ma. ! was a DIT dubious when I
saw you coming out OF nonn's with
Horace Chambers. but Afterward |
remembered no might be a friend
OF yours You see. Paula. I have
never been close 10 girl who was
born n swell before Honest. I've
always thought Itch girls we're Just
Kind Of wax dolls ! didn't think

yourself
And I'm tolllng you. my dear.
You'll get lot Cf experience At
the coat and hat rack Of tho Col
iege Inn.
You don't mean to tell me-.
Emma. that you are working at the
College Inn
~ certainly do. What's the
matter with THAR she asked rath-
or bollieerently.
Nothing II is supposed
10 he rather Bohemian, isn't it7'
well. | don't know much about
our patrons. but | do know that
you've got TO BE- straight and keep
straight % work 1T the College
Inn" That is the very reasnn
why the nat girl g. going she Is
getting rather gay. 1t takes n
pretty level-headed girl to fill that
place. She must not be a Crouch.
and yet che must know how 20
keep herself not only respectable.
but respected by all the fool men
who try TO flirt with her. II Is
where | began. Paula. but you see

wrong things. and thrown out OF
my class. and now. my dear Emma.
I'll try your position and FIJI Il as
well as can. out I'll probably
need your help very often.
You've got the right kind Of
nerve, Pauli. and you'll get there.

patronesses OF Tho charity ball IN
few years
Emma, I'm afraid you have
been reading Laura Jean Libby >"
