1T WAS a cold, rainy day; one of
those days that are hard to en-
dure even when your life is per-
fectly satisfactory. And Emily
EatOn's life was so far from being
satisfactory that it didn't give her
the least bit of hope when she left
her Office at noon and faced the
prospect of walking through the
rain to the noisy, crowded restau-
rant which was the best eating
place she could afford at that time.
She had a job, not a very good
one, and one that didn't pay her
very well: she reminded herself
quite frequently that she was lucky
to have any position at all, in an
effort to appreciate 1t. And she
had a home-that is, she had a
room in a large, uncomfortable,
badly-run roOming house.
Those weren't the things that
really bothered her, however. She
could have endured them. The trOu-
BILE was that she wanted big things.
She wanted to travel-tO go around
the world, to see Egypt and India
and Japan, Hawaii and Singapore
and the Malay straits! She might
as well have lOnged for the moon.
she told herself. as she walked
along the grimy streets that day.
And then the moon faced her, so
to speak, in the shape Of a large
window full of travel booklets
booklets advertising trips TO the
West Indies, to Europe, to Panama.
trips that took you clear around the
world. There was a blackboard on
which were written the tempera-
lures of various enchanted places
that day. There were pictures of
people going in bathing, playing
tennis, doing all the delightful sum-
mertime things Emily boldly opened
the door beside the window and
walked into the travel company's
Office.
IL want to ask about your
round-the-wOrld tours" she told the
young man behind the nearest desk.
He was delighted to tell her all
about the round-the-wOrld cruise.
Sailing from New York on January
1917 she could join the ship later
in San francisco if she didn't care
to go through the Panama canal.
Living on the ship was just like be-
ing in a wonderful hotel
"Yes. of course; very comfort
able" Emily agreed. feeling like

traitor. He thought she was likely
to take one of those trips-thOught
she had money enough And she
was deceiving him! He'd never
have thought so if she hadn't been
wearing that suit her cousin had
given her, an expensive suit.
Emily was fascinated. She stayed
half an hour, talking with him.
Wonderful! He must have made
the trip himself several times, since
he knew so much about all those en-
chanted places!
She asked him finally how many
times he had made it. Then came
a confession. He'd never taken it
at all!
But I'm so crazy about travel
that I'd rather work here for less
money than | could get somewhere
else, just to be in touch with what
l want to do he told her. Long
ing for the moon-that's what I'm
doing at present, i guess"
"Oh, me too" cried Emily, for
getting that she was supposed to
be a young woman with money who
could take a trip around the world
if she wanted to do it. I'm crazy
to travel. but l can't afford it,"
1t was a short step then to the
rest of her story. They were old
friends when Emily left the office
with an armful of fascinating book
lets under her arm. She hurried
to the cheap little restaurant, and
was half through luncheon, hardly
knowing what she ate, when
friendly voice said, "Do you mind if
sit here?"
1t was the young man from the
travel office. She was delighted to
see him. He slid into the chair
across from her, and they began
their conversation just where
they'd left off.
He walked back to her office

fact that he once did IA finished
