Darling or whatever you call her,

you forgive me?"
Bert looked dubious. "She doesn't
care any more. She just comes in here
to torment me-"
Anne gave him a hopeless look. "1f
you men could just understand! I tell
you that if she weren't interested any
more she wouldn't be coming in here.
It's just matter of pride, Bert. l
know what I'm talking about"
Anne gave Bert another hopeless
look But this time it wasn't for Bert.
1t was for herself.
Bert waited on a couple OF GUS
toners and came back to Anne.

When she went down to her coffee
the next morning Bert was absent.
Anne asked for him. 1t was Bert's
day off. He had forgotten to tell her.
She drank her coffee and opened up
her newspaper Well, that was that.
Probably nothing would come of it
anyway. Her time would be better
spent minding her own business.
When she got back to her own
Office Bob was at his desk Anne gave
him a cool Good morning" There
was time when she would have said,
Hello, darling!"
Her telephone was ringing. 1t was

Miss Davis, I knew you'd be glad
to hear. I called up Ruth last night
and everythings fixed She put my
ring back on the right finger. Say,
I think you're SWELL"
Anne put up the receiver with a
smile As she turned away from the
telephone she caught Bob's eye. He
noticed it and became absorbed in
a.letter.
Why" Anne asked. mentally ad-
dressing the typewriter before her,
when you can fix it up for somebody
else, can't you fix it up for yourself?"
But the typewriter didn't knoW-or

house party. Edna Martin was a red
headed divorce who was always find
ing a pretext to come and see Bob at
the office. Evidently he was finding
her more attractive than he had at
one time.
Anne stared at her typewriter
bleakly. Why couldn't she 60 in and
tell Bob she was sorry? She knew
that his explanation of why he
couldn't be at her birthday party had
been true. She was entirely familiar
with the particular business which
had taken him out of town. 1t hadn't
been that, really, which had caused
the quarrel. 1t had been her ridiculous
attitude. She knew that it had been
ridiculous. And then one foolish word
leading to another.
Well, as long as Bob wasn't trying to
patch up their quarrel, perhaps he
didn't love her any more, anyway.
Anne decided to go down to the build

"Special?" asked Bert. Bert was
Anne's favorite breakfast waiter. He
had a sense of humor and was rather
too good looking. Once when Anne
had asked him why he didn't get job
as an automobile salesman, or some
thing, he answered: Ever hear OF
the depression?" Anne had let it go
at that.
In answer to his question she shook
her head. Just coffee. Had my
breakfast at home this morning"
Then she noticed that things weren't
right with Bert. Whats the matter

Bert looked glum as he pushed the
coffee across the counter. He heSi-
