Well. OF course, Helene wouldn't
listen to that She said her job was
all right and she was not going 10
give it up. The boy friend certainly

Helene was firm about keeping her
job. He wanted her to go back home
until he was ready to marry her.
He ven came down to the shop to
look it over. OF course, that was
Helene's fault because she told him
to drop in and see IL he could find
anything wrong with the job.
The morning he dropped in Helene
showing a lovely sports frock
