 CHAPTER xLv
 With new energy Eve plunged into her work after sho learned that she was to take charge of the department when Barnes left for Chicago. She puts more en- thusiasm Into all her tasks, driv- ing herself relentlessly.
 Easter Sunday arrived and Eve had Mrs Penney as her guest for the day, She found tho little widows companionship restful. Mrs Penney was always poised and unruffled, no matter what hap poned. Eve felt that she drew strength from this friendship.
 They attended church together, dined ct an attractive restaurant and then strollod along the avenue In the afternoon sunshine. They watched the Easter promenade and 1t was to them more than q popu. lar diversion. They looked at the smArtly dressed men and women not boeause they admired their at- traetive costumes but because this parade of new finery was ( meas- uYe of the success of Bixby's ad- vertislng campaign as well as the advertising of other stores.

But she is 20 sweet and unselfish that you want her to have all the good things in ilfe--a lovely homo, a devoted husband and a beautiful child. And shS still keeps up her interest in art. She managed to accomplish quite q lot last year. You consider a career very important, don't
 "Yos." answered Evc simply.
 "weii." Arlene came back uncx- pectly. "I don't. Not for q woman after marriage, I mean. Before that, yos. Heaven help q girl if the monotony sets in too soon l fig ure it's good for all of us to learn how the almighty dollar Is earned. Then it seems to me that Q girl who has worked several years be- fore marriage is inclined to take things in their natural order. nI
