Narya's eyes were misty when she
finally cleared her desk and packed
her personal belongings. Several
girls from other departments came
in to bid her good-by and Barnes
called her into his private office for
a brief session.
Then it was closing time and
MaTya made a last survey Of the
familiar room. "Oh. Evel" she
cried. I'm going to miss you dread
fully What shall I do without this
Officer" Eve put firm arms about
Marya and led her to the locker
room.
A FTER lunch Sunday, Eve and
"A Dick joined the Easter pa
rade on the avenue. The sun
shone brightly and here and there
before a pretentious home yellow
and lavender crocuses raised their
heads from the green grass. They
saw Mona Allen wearing a new
black coat lavishly trimmed with
black fox. Framing her face was
the hat with the halo of white vio-
lets which Eve had wanted to buy
Eve and Dick ate a late dinner
and then strolled through the park
to the art museum where they
joyed the organ recital.
Marya's wedding took place next
day Eve felt that she would nev
forget the lovely picture Marya
made as she came down the aisle
Of the church on the arm of her
White-haired father.
Eve brushed her eyes with a wisp
Of lace handkerchief while Arlene
let the tears roll frankly down her
cheeks.
Marya wOr a severely simple
white satin frock with long tight
sleeves and a long train. Her veil
was arranged cap fashion above her
broad white forehead. She carried
a sheaf of Gala lilies.
After the ceremony there was a
reception. Later that evening Marya
changed into a dove gray travelling
costume trimmed with fluffy gray
fox. And before any one was aware
of it she and Ray had slipped away
from the others and fled in a taxi
to the Union Station where they
boarded a train for New York.
Marya's wedding was the sort Eve
had once planned for herself. She
knew she would always remember
that wedding as n of the loveliest
she had attended. She knew, too,
that she would miss Marya from
the office but that their friendship
was the sort that would last.
Later as Eve and Dick went up
the steps of Mrs. Brooks house
they heard their telephone ringing.
Wonder if something is wrong OF
the job" Dick said as he fitted the
key into the lock.
Eve was amazed to hear that the
call was for her. This is the
Times advertising department, came
the voice over the wire. we are
calling about the Bixby advertise
ment for tomorrow. Mr.. Barnes
said he left the copy with you this
afternoon. We've been trying to
get you all evening. Our deadline
is 1915, and it's nearly that now.
What shall we do?"
Ewes knees seemed TO go limp.
How dreadful" she exclaimed. Il
left the copy in an envelope on my
desk addressed to the Times. Are
you sure it wasn't there?"
The boy said he and Barnes
looked all over for it and then de-
cided you must have taken it with
you" the voice answered.
Heavens! I'll have to try to get
into the Office and then call you
back from there!" Eve answered.
Dick, Dick!" she cried. We've
got to go to the store right away
to see if 1 can find the copy for
tomorrow's Times. Oh, this is ter
riblel There's a special sale sched-
uled and if that ad isn't in the
morning paper I'll lose my job!
We've got to hurry-the deadline is
at 1918 and there isn't a minute
to spare!"
Dick got out the car and they
drove without a word until he
made an abrupt stop at the side
entrance to Bixby's. To Eve it
seemed forever before the night
Waterman arrived in answer to
her frantic summons.
