The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-10-22

full business woman. Shed made good in big way in the metropolis.
 As she stepped into her room her eyes suddenly filled with tears. What had all her success brought her after all? Even the girls in the clubhouse (most of whom she ignored, for at heart Natalie was social climber) were to be envied for their dates and good times.
 At last, with wisp of @ hand- kerchief, Natalie wiped away her tears. Maybe, after all 1t had paid her to be exclusive. Maybe through Gail, she might yet step up the social ladder. She'd make every ef- fort to cultivate the newcomer. One thing she knew, and that was New York. She would make it her busi- ness to take the youngster about a bit. Even If the SearleS boy was interested in Gail it wasn't likely he'd be taking her out every night
 .
 Here, let me take that" said Dick Searles, as Gail, dressing case in hand, stepped from the elevator
 "Oh, it's light as feather she answered handing the case to him Flows everybody"
 All fine, and, say, I've sur prise for you" Dick grinned down at the slender girl while they ran the gamut of many pairs of ques- tioning eyes as they walked down the long hall to the door.
 What is it, Dick?" Gail ques- tioned as he helped her into the car.
 "Rosemary's coming home next week."
 "oh, grand! I wish it were to- night
 And in that case I couldn't have gotten a word in edgeways, with you two chattering. No, sireep I'm going to have you all to n.y. self this weekend"
 Selfish young manr Gail ex- claimed, though gay lights flashed from her amber eyes. But tell me more about Rosemary. I thought she was staying at Merrywood till the first of June to prepare a thesis"
 "She was, but, believe it or not, my young sisters smart little girl, and she's finishing 1t in the beginning of the week so she can get home by Friday! But don't let's talk any more about her now" said Dick, as they reached the Queens borough bridge.
 T guess we mustn't talk about anything until we get out of this traff1c," Gail declared as another driver tried to pass them and just grazed the fender of Dicks car.
 "The fresh guy! There, maybe you're right. Now that the fine weather's here all Manhattan seems bound to leave it."
 Gail watched Dick drive and marveled at his skill. AS she looked ahead it seemed to her that some of the cars-as thick on the bridge as ants in an ant-hill-must surely crash. But at last traffic thinned and when they reached the shore road, Dick slowed down. He glanced at Gail, and said, "Now we can breathe again!"
 But Dick, don't see how you ever manage to drive in that mess, when every ones going at such @ rate!"
 "You get accustomed to it, sweet" His glance was tender as he turned to Gail. Flows the job going? I guess the old dame didn't swallow you, even if you were a minute late the other day. I waited to See."
 You didP You're a dear" Gail patted his hand.
 That's right. Be good to me, for I deserve it.
 "Oh, is that SOP" Gail drew away from him.
 "Yes, had nightmare after I left you
 Pat Murphy didn't order you away from Madame's front door, did he?"
 Pat Murphy! Never heard of the guy. Are you keeping something back from me, woman?'
 Pats the doorman, stupid! Stands outside to see that no loaf CTS hang around Madame's exclu- sive shop"
 Well, it's too bad he didn't do his duty. I was held up for 20 min- utes by an old friend of yours. Though she gave me several hints I wouldn't rise. I didn't want to drive her to the Waldorf and treat her to 8 belated lunch"
 You mean Lucille Travers? Oh, now I understand" The little spark of jealousy that had leaped in Calls heart as she'd mentioned Dick that morning she was called into the showroom, was instantly extin- guished.
