Thus 1t was several days later before she felt she could spare time during her lunch hour for conference with banker. In the meantime she had received another pay en- velope and a large percentage of It's contents had been deducted. according to an arrangement with Bixby's. for apparel charged to her account.
 Eve's personal finances were in . low state, yet she optimistically looked forward to making a for- tune. There must be way for her to get a foothold, she told her. self, banishing from her mind any worry as to how she was to secure 1t. "When the time comes I'll take care of that" she thought.
