NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XIII
TERRY opened her eyes on Mon.
day morning with 4 start
when the alarm clock struck seven.
She was about to throw back tho
top sheet and jump out of bed in
a hurry when she remembered
that this Monday morning was diff.
ferent from any other in her life.
A day Of promise lay ahead Of
her. And It was not necessary to
sacrifice half an hour of sleep for
the sake OF cleanliness. Let the
other roomers use up tho limited
supply Of hot water II they wanted
to-she could wait until more was
heated.
Alester was coming for her
some time in the afternoon to take
her to see Jake Weinertz. Jake
famous for his choruses.
Jerry fell back on her pillow
and stretched her arms above her
head with yawn Of sheer creature
comfort.
"You lucky little dingbat." Myr.
tie said to her, while she hastily
pulled on a cotton kimono to rush
to the bathroom. hoping to find 1t
unoccupied. Jerry had confided to
her the night before that she was
going to have chance to 90 on the
stage.
"A girl can watch her step after
she's had one lesson" Jerry had
argued to herself while Alester
filed her ears for an hour with
his pleas for her forgiveness,
She had been convinced finally
that he was sincerely contrite. And
the prospect Of employment that
was pleasant. thrilling even. was
Irresistible. No more alarm clocks.
No more wild dashes for a bath.
No more hurried breakfasts OF cot.
fee in thick mugs and . cruller or
some half-burned toast
And the lure Of the Sootlights!
Jerry felt It strongly. People had
always told her she should be on
the stage. but never before she
met Alester had she known anyone
who had the slightest connection
with it.
CHE thought of the dress she had
- planned to wear that day n
search OF york. 1t hung. nice:y
pressed. In the clothes closet. Moth.
ing to do but manicure her malta
and prepare to look her best. She
pulled the sheet up to her neck and
curled down for late sleep. But
sleep was impossible.
When Myrtle returned from her
tepid plunge Jerry was sitting W
In bed. her arms clasped around
her drawn.up knees. day dreaming
in bliss.
Alester was to telephone heI
when he made the appointment
with Weinertz. Jerry had an &C
casional moment OF misgivinl
