"oh, sodasl hate them, too. But
thank you all the same" Marcia
swallowed quickly. She didn't mean
to be so disagreeable, but she had
three aches at that moment which
were well nigh killing heroine, g
big dull ache in her head, which came
from WEAKNESS; one tiny sharp ache
In her toe, which came from being on
her feet so much. and one horrible,
tireless, soul-destroying ache in her
heart, which came from loving too
fondly where she was not loved in
return. For she had given UP Jeffer-
son Amory once and for all. Amory
did not wed with milliners, even
though those same milliners had
come to their trade through q sharp
reverse in fortune, at least this was
what Marcia felt, although she knew
nothing Of Jeff's family save what he
had told her. However, she had not
seen him for weeks nor heard from
him, and that meant that the pleasant
friendship which had promised some
thing more had been broken on by
his own will definitely. And because
or It she hated everything, her own
blue eyes, her own waving blond hair,
the dimple in her cheek and her lips
which she had trained so carefully
that the corner stayed UP, even now
when she was suffering most. It was
rather pathetic, that smile, which
guarded the secret Of a sob In her
throat.
A customer entered and she went
back to her desk to look UP some ac-
counts. Business wasn't 1ourishing
Just then; 1t was between hay and
grass. And all the bargains were
gone. She sighed as she turned a
page.
