Janet read the words over and
over. They danced before her
crafty, but those three phrases
stood out, staring at her, while all
the rest were dancing.
She tore out the three para
graphs, discarded the rest Of the
newspaper in a trash container.
The crumpled bit of newspaper was
hidden away in her purse.
She had been walking slowly. She
probably would be late when she
reached the office Janet didn't care
about that. She didn't seem to care
about anything in the world.
She knew now that until the mo-
ment when she saw that newspaper
there had been down in her heart
a feeling that somehow, in some
way. she and Rolf would make up
their quarrel.
: She hadn't recognized the feeling
or admitted it, but still it had been
there. 1t had persisted in spite OF
everything.
Welt was gone now! Rolf
and Betty Kendall we're married.
Janet saw them again dancing as
she had seen them that night at
Reigals'-Rolf's head bent slightly,
. the girls eyes raised, laughing
Janets own eyes closed invOluntar-
lily to shut out the sight.
you mustn't" she scolded her
self. You mustn't think about
things like that. You've got to
go on!"
A ND so she went on. Mechan-
n ically. Automatically. She went
back to the office, hung away her
coat and hat and set to work.
Bruce Hamilton was waiting for
her to get out the file Of the Mac
milan correspondence. She said,
Eyes, Mr.. Hamilton and mo, Mr..
Hamilton" and her fingers flew as
she took down the memorandum he
dictated.
She sat at her desk all afternoon
and Hamilton didn't notice that she
looked paler or was more quiet than
usual Her work was as efficient as
always.
She worked until 5:15 and when
she stood in the door and said,
Goodnight, Mr.. Hamilton" the
man only glanced up and smiled
vaguely and said Goodnight"
Bruce Hamilton didn't know that
his secretary's heart was breaking,
but there were others at the Every
Home office who were more per-
ceptive.
Janet knew when she entered the
rest room next day why the buzz OF
conversation in the corner stopped
abruptly as soon as she appeared.
Madeline, who operated the
switchboard and also was a sort OF
receptionist, and the two Dennison
sisters were grouped around the
dressing table. There was a pause
and then Cora Dennison, the older
of the sisters said with exaggerated
CaSualneSs, "Oh, Janet-yOu don't
happen to have a match, do your
Janet didn't and it seemed rather
UNNECESSARY " dom OOOcllsFt AAANAN
was a packet of matches lying on
the dressing table. AS soon as Cora
,saw them, she began to talk rapidly
about a suit she had seen in MarSh's
window that was simply adorable"
Janet surmiSed, and rightly, that
rs soon as she was gone the three
heads would be bent together again
and that her name and Rolls would
be mentioned frequently.
Even Pauline Hayden made 1t
plain that she had read of Rolls
marriage. Pauline went out of her
way to be friendly and considerate
and, though Janet understood that
the motive was kindly, it was as
painful as the other girls huShed
comments.
1.-TWO days dragged by and then
4 the third brought surprise,
It was Janet's birthday. She
hadn't told any one about it--at
least she was sure she hadn't
but there was a birthday card
waiting for her in the evening
mail.
It was from Tommy and Rosie
Silvani and there was a picture of
woolly dog on the cover and a lit
a tie verse under the flap.
Janet couldn't remember telling
. the children the date Of her birth
day, but Rosie always was asking
questions. She must have told them
and forgotten about it. Sweet of the
children to think about her!
There was a picture in the
Times that evening under the cap
,tion. AT West Virginia Resort, ="
showing a young man with a bag
of golf clubs standing beside a
girl in a white sweater.
Both of them were smiling and
beneath the picture were the words,
''Mr. and Mrs. Rolf Carlyle of Lam
caster photographed at White Sui
phur Springs. w. Va, where they
are spending their honeymoon. Mrs.
Carlyle was Miss Betty Kendall be-
fore her marriage"
Janet saw the picture and forgot
about the birthday card the Silvani
children had sent.
JEFF Grant saw it, too. JEFF was
in his room and on the table b.
fore him was a gift box from
"A
