you ever want me, drop IN at the Cen
tral Hospital"
And now why the devil did I add
that?" Kitty asked hersen mentally as
the car bore her down to the street.
Joyce walked down the hall with her
head bent. What did Kitty Dawson
mean by looking at her tnat way? And
what did she mean by that unfinished
remark? Why girl like you would"
Would what?
When Joyce re-entered the apart
ment Nadine was sitting before the
mirror powdering her face. She flashed
quick look at the girl and there was
hidden anger in her dark eyes. But
Madness voice was honeyed-almoSt
apologetic when she spoke.
We'll, suppose you've jumped at
conclusions, Joyce, and, OF course, you're
blaming me. But really can't have
Kitty Dawson coming up here every
week begging for some of her eternal
charity cases."
Then, as the girl did not answer:
I've known Kitty for years. Shes aa-
ways sponsoring some lost cause :.
and really, there is lfmrt, you know!
II you knew, you wouldn't blame
me"
I'm not blaming you. Nadine" said
Joyce quietly. How could she blame
Nadine when 1t was to her that she
herself owed the food she ate. The
roof over her head. No, she didn't
blame Nadine-but oh. she must find
work! She must find work and get away
from this place!
So wrapped she was in her own bitter
thoughts, that Joyce failed to see the
swift glance of hatred the other woman
shot at her.
Early the next day, Joyce doggedly
made the rounds, armed with a list of
fresh advertisements She had stopped
looking for Office positions. She was
trying the stores now. Those she inter
viewed were politely regretful. This
was a bad time OF year. In couple
of months now, they would begin pre-
pairing for the holidays. She might

The shrill ring of the phone inter-
rupted her Evidently glad of the break,
Nadine called quickly: III get that,
Joyce" She came into the bed room,
chiffon draperies f1uttering after her.
Joyce darted out to see the front door
closing after Kitty Dawson. But she
caught up with the other woman as
she stood ringing the bell for the ele-
vator in the outer hall.
"Oh, please wait minute! I want
to talk to youh'
The other turned and looked at her
in obvious astonishment. Joyce's face
was white and earnest and her eyes
were very bright. Under one arm she
cIutched the shabby handbag.
