CHAPTER TWENTY Continued
we'll wondered if you'd help
me buy a present for a girl"
What kind Of girl? I mean
what's she like? DO you have any
idea what kind Of a present she'd
especially llke?"
OF course it hadn't been jealousy
that famed up in Janets heart.
That was ridiculous. OF course it
couldn't be anything of the sort.
Why should she care how many
presents Jeff Grant bought for
other girls? What difference could
It make to her2
LIE answered all her questions
Il in the negative. She was
well, Just an ordinary girl. He
didn't know how old she was About
Janet's age, he thought.
He didn't have any idea what
she'd like. What kind of presents
did girls like2 Hadn't Janet any
suggestions?
He was so helpless about it that
she laughed. why, yes, Of course,
! could suggest a dozen things. It
depends partly on how much you
wan to spend. You could get van
ity case or perfume or something for
her room. A vase, candy box,
maybe, or a piece of pottery.
Maybe she'd like a handbag. I
saw some beauties in Marsh's win
dow today. They are on sale at
SIS. Really lovely ones"
That's an ideal" Grant nodded
''Do you think shed like a hand
bag?"
Janet smiled again. well, Of
course, I don't know. I'd like one
Of them myself, though"
Il think that's a good bunch"
jeff announced. would you be
willing to go with me to buy it? I'm
pretty dumb at things like that I'd
probably pick out the worst in the
bunch"
She agreed to meet him at
Marsh's department store next day
at 1915. They could buy the purse
and then have a sandwich some
where together.
He stayed little longer and then
departed. Twelve fifteen" he
called over his shoulder as he closed
the door. Don't forgetp
At exactly 13 minutes past II
o'clock the next day Janet entered
the main door of Marsh's depart
ment store. jeff Grant was there
before her.
Hello" he grinned. II was
wondering what in the world I'd
do if you didn't show up. These
places give me the willies. Too many
women around"
He didn't seem in the least I'M
comfortable, though, five minutes
later when they stood before the
purse counter.
The young woman behind the
counter who wore her blond hair in
amazing ringlets smiled at him as
she drew several purses from the
case. She spoke with a marked
southern drawl that Janet felt sure
was affected.
Now heah's little numbah," she
said, we've been sellin' at $1O.85.
It's real bah-gain-"
jeff turned to Janet. How about
It? DO you like that?'
She shook her head "Those clasps
never hold. I know because 1 had
5 one once"
