Howard Wescott and the
people he associated with.
Nancy turned to her work.
she saw it would be poor
policy for her to discuss
Howard Westcott. The mere
fact that he had asked
her to stop in his office after
work seemed to have set the
girls on fire. Her first day in
the Wear-Ever Knitting Mills
was getting interesting. She be-
gan to forget her fatigue.
She approached Wescott's Of
flee half with curiosity, half
with fear, and entered to see a
plain girl. evidently q secretary
pounding away at q typewriter.
The furnishings were rich.
Nancy noticed that the girls desk
was walnut. She thought 1t must
be wonderful to work in a place
like this. She envied the secre-
tary's efficient manner. She wore
heavy, horn-rimmed glasses. Her
hair was nondescript, without the
least suggestion of wave or curl.
Yes" she said, looking up.
I'm Miss O'Day" Nancy said.
Just then the door of the inner
office opened, and Wescott was be.
fore them.
Eyes, Miss o'Day, come In" he
said.
( lie smiled at her as though she
was someone he knew very well,
one OF the society girls, even,
whom he was charmed to meet.
He turned to his secretary.
You're working overtime, aren't
you, Miss Crosby?" he said, bet
ter let the rest OF the letters go
till tomorrow. There's no particu.
lar hurry"
And to Nancy. he said, come
in"
He bowed and held open the door
wide so that she might pass him
into his velvet-carpeted office.
After they were seated he started
to sort some papers on his desk.
He appeared rather nervous.
Nancy watched him closely. When
he turned from her she couldn't
help notice how well setup he was.
His dark blue suit looked as though
he had been poured into it. His
half at the back of his neck was
cropped close, leaving a very de-
cided line between his skin and his
hair.
