change your pretty face" she said,
patting joys ST. builder.
Joyce could find no answer to this,
so followed Gladys silently from the
room. Swinging down Euclid Ave.
with this girl who had bucked the
world for six years, Joyce felt an
excitement, a sense of adventure
stealing over her.
NOW about this job" said Gladys.
"What can you do?"
There isn't anything I really have
been trained to do" said Joyce hon
estly. I looked in the paper and
everybody wanted experienced help,
too. The only thing saw thought
might was an ad for girls to learn
telephone work."
That's not bad after you gets it
learned" said Gladys, "but they
don't pay enough at first to buy any
ham and eggs"
1--WE got enough money to live on
for WHILE" said JOY.
"How much?" asked Gladys prac-
tically.
1.-TWO hundred dollars" answered
Joyce.
Gladys whistled. Somebody stake
you to a nest egg? Not that it's
any of my business. But If you've
got it with you, you'd better put
most Of it in bank. I don't want
to sleep next to any 5000 tonight"
dollars tonight"
81 guess I'd BETTER" said Joyce,
remembering the cautioning words
of the teller when she had drawn
out her savings a few hours before
and his kindly questions as to what
she was going to do with it. But
you think this telephone work might
be all right for start?"
"Sure," said Gladys. "1f you've
got that much cash you can afford
to look at several things. Try this,
anyway"
do you suppose they're open this
afternoon" asked Joyce eager to be-
gin her wage earning adventures. =
"Only one way to find out is to go
up an see," said Gladys. "Give it
a whirl, anyway"
They parted at the corner of
Twelfth and Euclid and Gladys
turned in to the Statler. Joy went
on down the avenue and up to he

There were several girls waiting
on the bench outside the superin-
tendent's private office. All held

Of the paper.
: Several of them were talking to-
gether. All of them looked apprais-

"Yeah," one of them was saying.

year now. But the last boss L had

was afraid of my vamping her ugly

'They say it's real nice after you

other girl. II got a friend out at

there three years now and she's

The door opened and a neatly
dressed girl smiled at the waiting.
applicants and said, "Next girl,
place"
To Joyce the waiting seemed long,
but at last her turn came. She was
the last one to enter. She found a
pleasant-faced, matronly woman with
application blanks laid before her on
the desk:
Fill in your name and address
here" she said smiling kindly at
Joyce.
Taking the preliminary blank, she
began asking questions. Had Miss
Daring, that was right, wasn't it,
finished high school? In the present
class at East? But the graduation
exercises were not until next week.
II wanted to go to work right
away" said Joyce, trying to control
the tremor in her voice.
81 see," said Mrs. Fisher. 81 am

two weeks made up of girls who
have just finished high school.
Wouldn't you rather wait and be

She glanced at the address Joyce

"You realize that the pay is small
at first?" asked Mrs. Fisher.
Joyce nodded. Eyes, but I have
little money, enough to keep me
living until I am earning more.
Please take me in this class, Mrs.
Fisher. 1 know 1 will like it and
that can do the work"
"I'll have to look up your credits,
you know" warned Mrs. Fisher.
Suppose you fill out this complete

Joyce took the proffered blank,

Before this last she hesitated.
Then she wrote down one of her
teachers who would speak good

hastily and passed on.

This might be worth investigating.
She marked the ad with a pencil
she carried in her purse, finished
her matted milk and went back to
Mrs. Jenkins.
"Gladys has just come in" said
the landlady. 81 told her about you,
Go right up, she's waiting to see
you"
Joyce knocked on the door of room
twenty-one, her heart pounding.
Come in," said a gentle voice.
Joyce opened the door to see
standing in front of the mirror, one
of the prettiest and yet saddest look
ing girls she had ever met.
"You are Miss Daring, aren't your"
said Gladys extending her hand and
coming to meet Joyce at the door.
Mrs. Jenkins told me you might
like to share this room with me.
Won't you sit DOWN."
Joyce sat down, hardly knowing
what to say. ~ hadn't thought of
having a room with anybody" she
began embarrassed. "But Mrs. Jen-
kins thought we might get along all
right together, so 1 came /back to
see you"
Gladys smiled kindly. 81 see," she
said. you're very young, aren't
you? Where is your homer"
AS she talked, Gladys opened
various boxes of makeup and began
to transform her sad face into the
conventional pink and white Of the
fapper type. But her eyes remained
tired and weary and wise, despite
the cupid's bow mouth, the careful
ly outlined eyebrows, the correctly
rouged cheeks.
'I really live here in Cleveland"
said Joyce trying to pick up her
words. I'm going to try to get along
by myself for while, though I
honestly don't know exactly what I
can do"
Gladys nodded and asked no more
questions. Suppose we try it for
week anyway" she said. "Then
if we don't like it, we can change
around. I check hats in the Statler
dining room and I have to look like
this to keep my job" She pointed
to- her attractive made-up face.
1.-THE funny thing, though, is that by
turning down the men that ask me
to go out I stand in strong with the
manager. 1 always walk. down on
nice days. 1t only takes half an
hour. Come along and We'll talk
about a job for you as we go. I've
been on my own for six years now
and what I don't know about this
town isn't worth knowing"
She pulled her hat at just the
right angle over her eyebrows, adj
justed a light summer fur over her
shoulders, and made ready to leave.
Joyce took a peek into the mirror.
She could not believe that the happy
interested looking face she saw was
her own. Why didn't she look sad
and interesting as Gladys did? Sure
ly she had had enough trouble in
the last few days to take some of
the bloom off her cheeks.
Gladys seemed to understand.
It'll take more trouble than just
running away from home, kid, to

til the last week of her school WAS
over? They might make all kinds
of difficulties. After a moment she
write slowly, '.Mr. Henry Deacon"
She looked up his address in
directory on the desk and added 1t.
Mrs. Fisher looked over the blank,
then at joys eager face.
"Come in Monday morning at D."
she said. "Ill look up these lef-
erences then and if everything is
satisfactory, you can start with the
Monday class. I hope you will like
the work, Miss Daring. Good-by."
And Joyce found herself in the
hall, sure of at least a chance at
a Job, place to sleep for the night,
independence just around the corner.
She walked home to Mrs. jenkins
more slowly than was usual for
her. 1t was hard to realize the
events of the past few days. Her
home gone, Davey's proposal, 'Deke's
offer of money coming so close on
the beginning of their friendship,
even Butch's offer assumed some i'm
portance as she thought back over
the morning.
But over and above all these
events was her sense of trying her
wings. The world was before her.
She was her own mistress.
She found her feet keeping time
to a little tune as she went along.
"I want to be happy-and L will be, !"
she said aloud half defiantly.
Back at Mrs. Jenkins, she I'M
packed her bag, determined to wait
until Gladys return before going
to bed. Worn out with the crowded
day she lay down for a moment on
the single bed Mrs Jenkins had set
up for her.
In moment she was sound asleep.
Hours later, it seemed to her, an
urgent hand was on her shoulder,
shaking her, trying to wake her up.
And what was this acid voice say
ing?
"Wake up, wake up. There's an
old man and a policeman downstairs
wants to sec you!"
