1t was her second day on the job
in Mr.. Lincoln Pruitt's advertising
agency that Crystal was called to
the phone as she was taking dicta-
ton from him.
It was Tony.
Hello, beautiful, I'm downtown

chance to tell the real news with all
the tadpoles about the other night"
"But must go to lunch at 12,"
said Crystal, conscious of Mr.
Fruits listening ears and his i'm
patience at the call taking her from
the dictation, anyway.
"Make 'em change it." ordered
Tony who had never been a poor
working girl in all her life.
Mr.. Pruitt grunted when he
heard that "Tony."

well, stop explaining and rum

Miss Morse can shift her hour for

Miss Morse belonged to a vim
tage which wore it's hats atop the
head and not damned down over
one eye. But she damned it on so
viciously as she prepared for her
IL o'clock lunch per orders of Mr..
Pruitt that she looked almost flap

those of an affronted old tabby
cat shooed out of the best chair.
Crystal happened to be in the next
room, but Miss Morse, directed no
conversation her way. Her words
were for the edification of Miss Har-
ris, her friend from the Office across
the corridor, and infinitely more for
Crystals ears.

"you can't afford to trick that wife
of yours out like circus rider! Lord,

like a child, because Tad cham
