CHE was considerate in many
- WAYS. There always were fresh
flowers in Janet'S room, just as
there we're in Mrs Curtis When
the car wasn't needed for any
other purpose and Janet had an en-
pagement. Mrs. Curtis urged her TO
call Frederick and have him drive
her where she wished to go.
She took Janet with her to a
luncheon at the Three Arts Club
at which a well-known novelist
spoke
At first Janet tried to make her
DAYS systematic. She found 1t was
impossible. If nothing else upset
her plans, Mrs. Curtis herself was
sure TO d. it. She would decide at
the last minute that she wouldn't 90
to have the fitting at the dress
makers. Or instead Of having SIX
guests at dinner, she would decide
to invite ten.
Mrs. Curtis gratefully shifted re-
sponsibility for such changes to her
secretary's shoulders.
And yet Janet liked her work. II
was so entirely different from 2ny-
thing she ever had done. 1t LOOK
her to new places and among people
of a different world.
1t was interesting to know how
they lived. When Janet shopped
for Mrs. Curtis, she visited stores
-she never had entered before. 1t
was pleasant to sit back in the
velour-upholstercd limousine and
give Frederick instructions through
the speaking tube. 1t was pleas
ant to meet Mrs. Curtis at the fash
ionable Three Arts Club.
During that first week Janet
worked longer hours than she ever
had worked before. 1t had been
agre. that she was to have one
afternoon to herself each week and
those evenings when Mrs. Curtis
had engagements.
Somehow the time slipped by ana
Janet was busy every afternoon.
She was sitting at her desk in the
little room off the library Friday
morning when a messenger delivered
a package. 1t was a box from Bal
lards,' the jewellers, and the boy was
quite certain that Mrs. Curtis had
ordered it,
Janet united the Wrappings and
drew out a handsome silver picture
frame. Inside was a carbon slip in
eating that the frame mad been
left for repair.
It's all right she told the boy,
who muttered something and de-
parted.
Half an hour later Mrs. Curtis
entered the room and Janet showed
her the frame. "Oh, yes! she said.
Its for my daughters picture.
The glass broke and I left it to have
them put in a new one. I'll just
get the photograph"
Her voice trailed off as she hur-
ried from the room A moment
later she was back. Here it is" she
said. Don't you think she's at
tractive?"
Janet took the photograph. 1t was
Betty Kendall!
