CHAPTER VIII
There were several columns O.
advertisements of furnished
apartments for rent in the Sun
day newspaper. Eve and Dicl
had decided to rent a furnished
place because Dick was onl!
temporarily located in Lake City
The main offices Of the cOmpan!
he worked for were in Chicago
but Dick had been in Lake Cit!
for more than a year superin
tending the construction Of
theater combined with a huge Of
flee building. The theater wa
to open in March but it woulc
be June before everything woulc
be completed. Dick hoped hi
next job also would be in LAX
City. Eve refused even to con
slider the possibility that h
might be sent elsewhere.
The first apartment they visit
ed was impressive. Eve glanced
about the reception room ant
approved its furnishings. Ever
when she had learned how higl
the rent was she still wanted t.
live there.
But Dick would not listen t.
her argument that she could pa!
part Of the rent. "NO," he said
"we're going to live within m.
income and save some of it too
because | have plans for the fu
ture. 1t takes capital before any
one can be independent"
The aext addresses on the lis
proved equally discouraging. A
last they stopped before an OLE
house on the opposite side of thu
city. 1t stood at the corner of
main thoroughfare and tree-lineI
side street.
The woman who owned tn
house was 3 widow. She and he
two sons and daughter occupied
one section of the rambling OLE
mansion and the rest had beer
| divided into apartments. One
inside, Eve had to admit thu
charm of the place. The wall
were thick and the ceilings high
Doorways were arched and tn,
heavy ivory woodwork was mag
J nificent.
"Why these rooms are lovely
We must take Them" gaspec
| Eve, much to her own surprise
"And l think we can move in to
day."
They returned to the Miramar
checked out and slowed their be
longings into the rumble seat o:
the roadster. Then Dick stopped
at delicatessen for CHECKER
sandwiches, coffee, a bottle Of
cream and a pint of sherbert.
Mrs. Brooks let him make the
coffee in her big, old-fashionee
kitchen. She loaned them some
dishes and cups and Eve set out
the food. 1t was fun eating by
candlelight, she declared. Dicl
beamed at her. Tomorrow" h'
! said, "we'll have a real dinnel
in our first home, won't we
sweetheart"
"Why, yes" said Eve soberly
