CHAPTER XVI

on Monday, q week later, HILLS
Alice lanes came to work with
Flossie at the Dexter Company.
And Flossie, who never had been
much Of a favorite with the other
girls who worked there, became still
more unpopular with them. Long
ago they had dubbed her the ONCE
vamp.n Now they linked her and
Alice together as "the gold-dlgger
twins"
The name stuck. For the lively
pair boasted that they\ never mad
to a for their own
lunches. sam Jessup and some
other devoted cavalier were always
on the spot waiting to take them
out.
Within a week the files depart
ment had become the Mecca for all
the unmarried ~masculinity in the
Mace. For if Alice lacked the
beauty Of Flossie she had a line
and a charm of her own. She could
charleston like a professional

Sir, She's My Baby was, as sam
Jessup said, a fair treat. Shes a
regular ten-twent-thirt show he de-
dared.
Gradually the room lost the neat,
b~usiness-lke look it had had in the
DAVIS OF Miss MacFarlane. There
was always a box of candy and a
ragged pile of motion picture
magazines on the table in the center.
And Alice tackled up a looking glass
between the north windows. She
and F1ossie kept their powder, their
lipstick and their bob combs on the
sill beside it.
VERY little work gets done up
there. any more, If you asks me-
Miss Minnick, whose desk was next
to Mary Roses desk, said to her
one morning when she came down
from the files department. Il was
lust I'D there to look over some
ads. and Flossie and Alice were SO
busy talking that 1 had to look
through the files myself for them.
That would have happened
under Miss MacFalane, let me tell
you. And If Mr.. Dexter finds 1t
out, your young sister and her jazzy
friend are going to find themselves
looking for new jobs!"
Mary Rose breathed a sigh OF
relief. Evidently Miss Minnick didn't
Know, then, what Miss MacFarlane
had known-that~F1Ossie Middleton
had such a drag with Hilary Dex-
ter that she didn't have to worry
about her job. Thank goodness,
that whatever Miss MacFarlane a
known she had kept it to herself.
She hadn't gossiped about Flossie
and Dexter.
A few days later John Manners
sent Mary Rose up to the files de-
partment for some records h a he
needed. She found F1ossie and
Alice having a spirited discussion
about letting their bobbed hair grow
long again, as they swung their
heels from the long table in the
middle Of the room.
THE best way is to do what Clio
ria Swanson did, Alice was saying
In her thin soprano. "She kept the
ack Of her hair clipped short and
Il the sides grow until they were
bng enough to do up"
why she did no such thing
Elossie contradicted. II saw her in
her last picture, and her hair was SO
short that her ears showed! What's
] on your mind, Mary Rose?' She
turned to her sister.
MIR. Manners sent me up to ask

I may Us well tell you what it is.

II see," Mary Rose answered
DULY, II see." She took the pack
age and the envelope, and put them
into her desk. I'll give these to
him."
1--we made him promise not to
put it on his desk-until-we're mar
ried," Doris Hining went on, look
ing up in the shyest sort of way.
And even at that, I think it's a
silly habit men have of keeping their
wives pictures on their desks, don't
you? l know. our family doctor
does it, and I've always thought it
was awfuIiy silly"
Mary Rose looked at her, wish
ing with all her heart that she would
go. But Doris seated herself on one
chatting as if she'd known Mary
Rose all her life.

! each other ever since we were babies,
so maybe it's different with u.s." she
said, taking out a little mirror, and
studying herself in it. We've al
ways been fond Of each other"
Mary Rose tried to say 'how 70
mantic." or something like it, but
she could make no sound at all.
She stood up and put her handbag
over her ARM. as if she were in a
hurry to be off.
Don't you just love Mrs. Man
ners-Mr. Manners mother?' Doris
asked. suddenly, with a twisted little
smile. II saw her this afternoon
and she told me you'd been over
There to read to her. You had dinner
with them, too, didn't you?x
Mary Rose never knew what she

answered. And minutes after Doris
HING had gone, she stood by her
desk, lost in a maze OF puzzling
thought.
If Doris had seen Mrs. Manners
that afternoon, she must have
known hat John was out Of town.
So then, she hadn't come to the Of
flee to see him at all! She had come
there to let her, Mary Rose Middle
ton, know that John belonged to
her, that he was going to marry
her, and put her picture on his desk
after they were married.
"Why she's jealous Of mei'
thought Mary Rose. But she
needn't be. 1 wouldn't take another
woman's man away from her-even
if / couldr"
The telephone on heA desk rang.
1t was her mother, telling her that
it was half past six and that
supper was waiting on the back of
the stove.
"Flossie isn't here, either" she
said plaintively, land her telephone
doesn't answer. So 1 SUPPOSE she's
out with that Sam again."

JUNEAU SCHOOL
BOND MEASURE
is INTRODUCED
Congressman Curry Sponsors
Bill for Funds for An
other Building Here.

A bill authorizing the city of il
OF $75, 900 for the construction If
additional school facilities was in
troduced yesterday by Congressman
Charles f. Curry, chairman of the
House Committee on Territories, ac-
cording to Associated Press despatch
es received by The Empire. As is
customary in such legislation, pro
vision is made in it that the ques-
tion of floating the issue must first
be submitted to a vote by the resi-
dents of the city before bonds can
be placed on the market.
The bill, according to Mayor J. }.
Commons, was introduced by Mr.. Cur
~ in response to a resolution passed
several weeks ago by the City Coun
ell and a request from the Coun n
that he take an interest in the
matter ard endeavor to get action on
the measure during the present ses-
sion of Congress. Mr. Curry, as
chairman of the Committee on Ter
ritories, it was pointed out, will be
able to get report from that com
mittee more quickly than might be
the case were he not interested.
Owing to the fact that local school
facilities are already inadequate to
care for the current enrolment and
with increases in enrolment assured
for the next few years under even
normal conditions, Mayor Connors
said municipal authorities felt it t)
be important to get action as soon
as possible. If Congressional au-
thority for issuing bonds is not Sc
cured during the present session, il
might be two year or more before
start could be made on another
building.

crew and another man were found
in a rowboat near the Eker and were
arraigned in Commissioner Court.
The notations read:
paid cops $500; paid prohibition
agent $1SO0; paid Red $4,000; paid
cop 1925"
