 T am afraid. Tomms c1 an aw- ful coward"
 Perhaps, Virginia. But you haven't shown 1t Up to now. It took nerve to come out here and tackle the movies. It is the hardest game in the world for a girl like you"
 That is just 1t. I never would have come had I known what I do now. Why, Tommy. don't know what I am going to do next Ria is going away and I don't know who hdn Ep AO Wiin lily NtD4bft+ III EO lonesome" and my tears came anew
 Here, here, buck up! You have me. you know" reminded Tommy in alarm.
 "Yes, but you aren't e girl"
 "No, am not thank heaven, But what worries you7"
 T don't know where will get an- other job. thought this one would take two or three weeks at least"
 Tt will be easy for you to get job in atmosphere. Did you call up the Service Bureau?"
 "No. I didn't know that had to do that"
 Well, do 1t just as soon as you get back to the apartment. And listen, Virgie, if you want anything just call on me. I am going to be awful busy and I may not have time to call on you or come and see you, but I am hers. Remember that-and I will help you if you want me"
 T am going to move, Tommy. to- morrow probably, and will give you my telephone number as soon as find place."
 Why are you moving"
 The apartment Is too expensive for me alone"
  ginis" Tommy replied.
 "Pll get a single one somewhere I assured him.
 Tommy, with his usual understand ing. did not offer to come up to the apartment and I hurried out of the car much comforted by his cheerful "Call me, Virgie, when you want me And don't forget to call the Service Bureau immediately-Pico 1101."
 As I closed the doors of the electric elevator and pushed the button for the fourth floor, l almost slumped down in a. heap. was tired, so tired Was it worth it all, wondered?
 Back in my old Virginia home was certain to haveaan easy time. Grandfather, tyrannical though he was, never asked me to work as hard as I had today. There I was sure to have plenty to eat and clothes of sort to wear. It would be sure, safe life, even though monotonous one and grandfather could not live al- ways
 Ria was not in the apartment when arrived. I called up the Service Bu- reau and received the comforting message that they had been trying to get me. but, falling, the job had been given to some one else.
 I was too tired to think of getting anything to eat and I pulled out my bed from the buffet and dropped on 1t without undressing.
 I felt that had been sleeping for hours when Ria came in and shook me gently "virgie. I know it is hor- rid to waken you, but you must un- dress yourself and besides. am leav- ing early tomorrow.
 Kitty Dalton has agreed to go with me to Santa Barbara and am taking her and nurse on the morning train. And do you know the little wretch in- sists that she didn't drink any liouor except at Herbs bungalow. Herb says she is laying plan for big damage suit when she gets better But I'll spoil that some wsv."
 I heard Ria as though dream as I. fumbling, undress s.fseIf and lierally fell into bed. l Aot know whether Ria said more, and in the morning when I awakened she had gone.
 What will she think of me?" I re- preached myself. And then I spied a note
 "Virgie, dear" 1t read. it isn't far to Santa Barbara and I know just how tired you were last night. so I did not waken you. Tommy called up and told me that you Were finished at his studio and I knew that the kindest thing could do for you was to let you sleep this morning. If you do not get a job right away, come fo Santa Barbara and see me. Tommy seemed to think that you were dis couraged. Don't try to 20 too fast. dear. Tn this business taking things slowly Is better in the end. I have taken furnished house at Santa Barbara and will write you the street address and telephone number as soon as I arrive. Always loving you. GLORIA"
