from her calendar pad on which she
had jotted memoranda, or bits Of
copy not yet seen by Mr.. Barnes.
What would you do7" one day
Eve asked Arlene.
I'D go to Barnes about It," Ar
lene advaised.
"Oh, I couldn't! He wouldn't ike
It and he'd only think me catty."
L don't see why! You'd merely
be protecting yourself-aSSerting
your rights. DO you think for one
minute that a man would let an
other man get away with what Mo
mas doing?'
As 1t happened, Eve did not find
it necessary to complain to Barnes
about Mona. Two DAYS later Arlene
returned unexpectedly to the office
for something she had forgotten
when leaving to go To lunch and
found Mona going through the
drawers of her desk. The situa-
ton was too much even for one of
MOnas impudence to carry off with
nOnchalance.
II was just" she began with
a nervous laugh.
Yes, 1 see" Arlene said. "You
were just going through my desk,
weren't you? Now listen, I under
stand your racket and the next
time anything is mislaid in this Of
fee I'm going straight to Earle
Barnes and tell him who's reSpon-
sible."
Il was only looking for-some
copy paper Mona tried to defend
herself
What's wrong with that stack
Of copy paper over there in its usual
placer"
"Ohl There is some, isn't there?
I didn't see any this morning.
Charles must have brought down a
new supply"
There was plenty there this
morning. He brought it down yes
terday."
MYTH this Arlene tumbled
w things back into the desk
drawers and locked them. Mona
forced an amused smile, retreated to
her desk and began TO type with the
appearance of great industry. Ar
lene fastened out to join Eve at a
belated luncheon.
Eve shared her elation over the
proof of Mona's treachery, You'll
not be annoyed by her again!-
Arlene promised. Eve wished she
could be as certain.
Let's celebrate tonight" proposed
Arlene. I'VE haven't eaten at that
new italian restaurant on Twelfth
street yet. We could see the early
show at the Palace afterwards"
I'D love to-" agreed Eve. 81
haven't been to a movie since Dick
left. It's no fun to go alone. But
what about Sam2 I thought he
monopolized all your time these
days"
Hes giving talk before the
City Club tonight" said Arlene with
evident pride. Sans smart, Eve.
He could go long way if he really
wanted to-"
"Of course he's smart. And of
course he could go a long way.
Can't you make him want to, Ar
| lene?"
Sometimes think could. Oh,
I don't know what want, Evel I
I liked George Bliss, you know. A
lot, I guess. But I had sense enough
to see that he didn't care. I've seen
too many girls waste years on
man who wasn't interested. Sans
been grand to me. He thinks of
things to do for me almost before
I've wished for them.
ut means everything" admitted
Eve. Dicks like that, too"
NOVEMBER came. Sometimes
IN Eve ate dinner downtown,
dreading to go home to the lonely
apartment. Sometimes she stopped
at the delicateSsen shop for sand
wiches and cookies to carry home
with her. These, with a cup of hot
chocolate, would serve for meal.
After dinner she would curl up in
Dicks favorite chair and read-or
try to read. Dicks work kept him
out in all kinds of weather. Eve
worried for fear he might become
i'll and no one would let her know.
Suppose he would not want her to
know After all, Dick had seemed
willing enough to go away and leave
her.
