Ruth was delighted when he talked
that way to Brian. Much as she loved
him, she knew his faults; and Incidence
was one of hem. If his pride could be
awakened he might overcome it. She
did all she could, said all she dared to
say-hc was sensitive to critieism--so
she hoped ,heir friendship with the Rob-
erts would help her in making Brian
see the necessity for exercising his pow
ers if he would succeed.

one Of his fayorite quotations, or, eff
luck is coming my way, it will come
anyway, was another. Yet Brian was
naturally cleycrer, possessed keener,
more analytical mind than did Kenyon
Roberts. Application was all he
needed.
Mrs. Roberts and Ruth found many
things in which they were interested in
common. Often they spent Saturday
afternoon together at the museum or ip
some shops that carried goods inter-
esting to them both; old tapestries,
jadcs etc. Ruth never worked on Sat
urday afternoons. Not at any time Of
year. When away, she usually suited
herself, but Mr.. Mandel had told her
from the first shat she need not return
to the shop on Saturday. That after
her luncheon she was free. So, olsen,
Clara Roberts would meet her, they
would lunch together, then spent abe
afternoon at a matinee, or, as havo
said, in visiting places which enter
tanned them.
Ruth had not seen Mollie King since
ne night she had her and Claude
Becky to dinner. Brian had been home
early, they had been very happy. Rachel
had arrived, and Brian was ready IL
agree that she could "cook all around

glad, that it was so, as Brian was not
apt to say So much about her work. In
fact, for days at time, neither of
shem mentioned it or her salary.
Mr.. Mandel watched Ruth closely. He
saw her happier, and was puzzled.

"Oh, thank youl' it was so nice to
have her salary raised without asking
for it. ''There were not many EN-
Iployers like Mr.. Mandel,'' Ruth thought
as she thanked him.
"Iou have earned it,"
Ruth knew she was worth fifty dol
lars week, yet she could not but feel
grateful because Arthur Mandel also
had realized her worth. 1t was nice to
be appreciated.
As she walked slowly home, she re-
called how Brian sulked when she was
raised before. Would he do SO againY
Hac she better tell him? She decided
tina. it was best to tell him at once.
She knew his jealous nature and if she
didn t tell him-hoping to save his feel

she had something. to hide; some reason
for not wanting him to know. He
would never dream shat it was to save
his feelings; to keep him from feeling
that she earned more than she did That
never would occur to him as reason
for not telling him of her raise.
