Don't be uppish with them"
begged Sue. "They won't stand for
condescension from anyone living.
Do as they tell you and keep sweet,
no matter what happens"
Nancy flushed, but she dared not
, disobey the advice of this friend
whose hospitality she was accepting.
If this were part of the game, why
then she'd play it.
She returned to the jewelry de-
partment grimly determined to, win
their respect. She would prove that
she was one of Them as she had
long ago proved it to the wealthy
girls of her own town.
Proof it was of her own new clear
Sightedness that she realized this
would be no LESS of task.
After lunch such a mob gathered
about the counter with its specials"
of pearl beads, dollar pendants and
"fapper' rings that Nancy had no
time for speculation. But she worked
cheerfully.
MAY I help you?" became her slo-
gan, repeated with smile copied
from the petite Annette. Annette
was never too busy to give Gus
toner the full benefit of her personal
attention.
In the midst of a sea of faces, a
babel of voices, she would say
placidly "the pink beads are more
becoming. Do you wish to try the
choker? Yes, the others are newer,
Of course" Never too rushed to hold
a glittering pendant against the
whiteness Of her own throat. Or to
murmur thank you"
Her methods were a revelation to
Nancy. The end of the stampede
left her weary-eyed.
Better rearrange those slave
bracelets, Miss Gage"
She fancied the tone was kinder.
Two hours of working side by side,
reaching around each other, had
done much to break the ice. They
discusser their sales impersonally.
1.-THE pendants went over fine,
didn't they?"
Eve need some more of these
rhinestone pins, Miss West"
IT ordered them this morning,
Miss Bronson. How about the sale
on those new characters?"
"Great. We only have a few of
them left"
And these, thought Nancy, shift
ing her weight from one swollen
ankle to the other, were the girls
whose conversation was supposed
to consist of and says, and he
says to me" -.
Only one glimpse did she have of
romance. When a blue-eyed, sui
len-mouthed youth approached the
counter and stopped before An

Nancy queried, stretching YEARLY
and without much real interest.
"Classiest girl in the store. She's
in the jewelry, but she models new

She rolled across the floor twelve
times and came up breathless.

vocabulary.
AS they hurried down the street,
Sue said, briskly: IT hope the girls
will like you, Nancy. You were
always so popular at school"
It seemed to Nancy rather unim-
portant. She was not greatly con-
cerned over what the girls at the
store thought. Her ambition was
to make good with the manage
ment, earn some money, and get
into something else as quickly as
possible.
She had expected to be treated
as a servant by her superiors. To
be known as number only. She
was therefore surprised to hear
herself addressed by everyone as

there a trick to it? She watched

terested in the experience of Mrs. S..
Kuharic, 924 S. 30th Street, South
Bend, Ind. How she won back her
health, appetite and weight, is told
in her letter, as follows:
"For months I was badly run
down: thoroughly tired out and
awfully weak all the time. I had no
appetite and what fool could eat,
didn't agree with me or do me any
good. I lost weight until was
down to only 80 pounds. My vital
ity was SO low that I had no pep
at all. My husband and friends be-
gan to be alarmed about me. They
had me try several medicines, but I
felt no better. Then a relative sug-
gested Viuna, and after just few
doses, I began to feel difference.
Before the first bottle was gone, I
had good appetite for the first
time in months. Soon had gained
seven pounds. Now, my system is
regular, I feel fine and can eat any,
thing. Viuna helped me so Won
derfully that I gave it to my daugh-
ter. She had kidney and bladder
trouble for some time. In only two
days I noticed she was much better
and now she is entirely relieved of
her ailments. She is gaining every
day and looks fine. We both owe
our good health to Viuna."
viuna acts promptly on sluggish
bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. 1t
purifes the blood, clears the skin, re-
stores appetite and digestion, and brings
new strength and energy to the whole
body. Take a bottle on trial. Then if
you're not glad you tried Viuna, your
money will be refunded. 81 at druggists,
