NOW Co ON WITH THE STORY
' CHAPTER VIII
Miss Jardine has been observ
ing Jane with speculation and dis
approval. The girl stood out II
the quiet school like red flag
No one else was studying nearly
so much. nor so hard. No one
else had half so much personal
ity, nor was half so rude. Jane
wrapped in her bitterness, didn't
bother even to say good morning
or goodby and used the short in
tervals between classes t. go ovel
her lessons with fierce intensity
ITS probably an unhappy love
affair."" Miss Jard!ne thought
shrewdly, chats thrown her away
off balance-and she's natural!
conceited and too inexperiencet
to know how to use it to her ad
vantage. But she's so darnet
smart! Well-"Reproof wouldn'
work. She knew that. So she
asked Jane to dinner.
Jane went reluctantly, but once
there Miss Jardine's small apart
ment impressed her. 1t was high
with a slanting view of the Hud
son from the two front windows
There was silvery grasscloth or
the walls, an etching or two. 8
Japanese print. The furnishings
were good pieces of mahogany
and walnut CLEANED at auction
sales. To confirm the respect
ability there was also Mrs. Cum
mings who shared the apartment
with Miss Jardine and was older
palmer and, not so well dressed as
Miss Jardine.
! Mrs. Cummings went out to a
concert Immediately after dinner
"Ann's quite mad about Bach,
said Miss Jardine, apd then she
settled down to her real purpose
of drawing out Jane over coffee
and cigarets in the living room
The conversation hat been HARD
going so far. Jane had looked al
everything attentivek but salc
little and Miss Jardite wondered
what was going on in her hcac
and what would be the best ap
proach to the advice she he;
meant to give.
While she was hesitating Jane
spoke. elbow much do you pa!
for this apartment" she asked.
1t was so blunt and unexpect
ed that Miss Jardine vas startled
into the equally blunt reply
'Seventy-five dollars
"Of course there are two Of
you, which makes it $3.50
apiece. No. l couldn't afford j
alone went on Jane. "And
won't have anybody 1--we with me
But maybe I can fird something
cheaoer."
YOU'D have to have an Older
woman with you," protested Miss
Jardine. "No one will rent You
an apartment alone, young glrl
like you-not in house where
you would want to live
ooh. think l can find some
thing. can take care of myself

"But that isn't normal for a
pretty young girl like you. I've
been wanting to ask you Just
what you intend to do when
you've finished our course"

as secretary to some important
man, an executive in some spe-
cialized field, you might be in
valuable"
She saw her way now and head
ed for the point. "Of course that
sort of job needs a certain per-
sonality, discreet, gracious, very
tactful, capable of handling the
people who want to get at your
chief and he doesn't want to sec
but doesn't want to antagonize
Then there's the need of flatter,
