The Forgotten Day.

Hiida Wayne had forgotten all about
it until she saw the figure 8 staring
at her from the calendar. Her birth
dayi She smiled grimly. AS far as
she knew there wasn't q person IN the
world who remembered that today sne
FIFTY wears old made her an old
woman, at least she had always sup
posed it would. But when she looked
into her mirror she couldn't see that
she looked so terribly ancient. Her
tirht-fitting little black hat hid the
few gray threads in her pretty fair hair;
her complexion, If not exactly school
girlish. was fine and clear. She wore
glasses only for close work and her
throat didn't have the fatal pouchiness
which women desperately strive to chase
away with astringents. Her figure, too,
was trim and graceful. And she didn't
slump as she walked.
It all came, of course, OF her rigid
determination to appear young enough
for her job. That precious job with its
unfailing weekly pay-envelope. Just
enough to keep her comfortably housed,
fed, warmed and clothed; just enough
to permit her to enjoy a few simple
movies; Just enough to enable her to
lay aside q bit for the rainy day which
experience had taught her comes sooner
or later to most mortalS. A job, she
reasoned, was q body's best friend when
you lack relatives and dependable ac-
quaintances. Hilda loved her job. She
stroSe for 1t, earned her right to 1t by
every gift she possessed.
Fifty years old! She ought to be
good for a decade yet. She bit her lips.
Then, with brave lift Of her chin, she
struck out to join the stream of work.
ers that flowed toward the business
places.
There was a new girl in the office that
morning. A young girl, a pretty girl,
just out of business school. with soft,
pink hands, shy eyes, a timid Self-con-
Scious flush in her smooth cheeks. The
kind of girl who lives at home, safely
nurtured, and spends her wages as she
pleases. The kind Of girl who works,
waiting until she achieves the eternal
triangle of the feminine heart-home,
husband. babies. Hilda had once been
just such girl. But the husband had
not materialized, therefore the other two
elements OF q perfect existence be-
came lacking. The right man as far as
had gone away again and married the
girl Hilda considered her worst enemy.
Oh, well! It was all over long. long
ago. But the memory Of 1t made her
glance now and then at Alice Fancher,
whose youth and charm refreshed her.
She hoped that the right man would
come for Alice before it was too late
before she was so, afraid to lose her job
unexpectant Of what the future held
for her.
At noon Alice Fancher came to Hilda
