 CHAPTER VII
 SPAGHETTI AT MOTHER
 MONTHS
 Suddenly Lynda heard David say: &o luncheon. I'll bet you are hungry right now. I'm sure you haven't had a thing to eat all day. Answer me. Have you?"
 Because she did not know how to lie to him, Lynda raised scarlet face and whispered:
 "Yes. had some coffee and piece of toast this morning"
 Have you anything in the house for your supper?"
 T don't know. told father last night that he would have to bring home some things, as We were even out of bread He knew I didn't have any money, and he'll surely bring sonnet hing if he comes home"
 David took hold of her arm and drew her into small Italian res taurant
 Here's Mother Monte's"
 He seated her at a table and, without giving her chance to ob- ject said to the jolly-faced woman behind the counter:
 Two spaghetties,"
 Tn ronn,onf tuto uroat platoe nf steaming. fragrant food was set be- fore them.
 You shouldn't have done this" said Lynda, but already portion was on it's way to her mouth. She was ravenous.
 T have not enough money to pay for my share. David, and you've already fed one girl today"
 "I know it." he answered. honest ly. That's the reason I'm making ing you eat before you go home. If your father forgets the groceries. you'd have nothing to eat tonight. and you couldn't go back to the of1ice tomorrow hungry"
 Lynda felt no shame that David should know she was hungry. They had gone hungry together too many times when they were children. and had shared each others food when they had it, but she didn't want him to spend his money on her. as he had done on Emily Andrews
 She hadn't realized that turing the last two years David had stead lily gone on making higher salary, until today. as salesman for Armi- tage & Son. he was looked upon as a good catch for all the girls who knew him by sight, and better catch by those who knew him personally.
 "Lyn, don't you know that I'm getting fifty dollars week and bonus? got another raise last pay day"
 She started in surprise. for she hadn't known it. In the excitement of her graduation. and his taking his first job on the road they hadn't had a chance to talk things over as usual
 She was just going to say, how ever. that he must not spend any of 1t on her, and that as soon as she got her first check. she would repay him, in part. the money he had loaned her from time to time, when he said
 'Iyn. dear, have quite little money in the bank. and I want you to take one hundred dollars. which ought to tide you over nicely until you get your first check. then you can start giving me back a little each week. if you wish"
 With no idea that even in these liberal days a girl doesn't accept money from young man. Lynda took 1t as matter of fact that David should offer 10 help her out. IL had come 10 her with crushing force, all this long hungry after noon, that unless she had small sum Of money now. Ii would be inn possible for her 10 keep on for two weeks. She was pretty sure her father had again lost his job and
