and wastes the whole precious
day"
After all, Miss Morrison"
LET me finish, Mr.. Matthews.
Now that I have gone this far, !
am going to have my say"
you've said enough" Camille
declared.
That is for me to judge. You
know nothing about this work
that We"
"We!" Camille's laugh was in
sulting, and Margerys cheeks
burned.
This important work. I had
orders to keep Mr.. Matthews at
work. Otherwise it not only meant
that I lost my job, but that he
would lose $4,000, and be sued
for that much more. That is why
I have struggled to keep him from
wasting his precious hours with
you, now"
Wasting Freddy, she said
wasting"
II did, Margery assured her,
but after he has finished his
novel he can have Is out of every
"a hours with you, for all I care.
That's that, and I will be going!"
Margery started to clean up her
desk. Freddy rushed over to her.
Nov wait, Miss Morrison. You
can't go like this, you know"
"Oh yes I can. I won't mind
going, at all. And, as a matter
of fact, Miss Lansing's jealousy
is pleaSingly flattering."
Freddy! After she has said
that, you certainly aren't going to
stop her from leaving, are you"
Camille demanded.
"But-but, after all, I shall be
in a jam if I don't finish this
work, Miss Morrison"
"You don't want to work, Mr..
Matthews, you say so, continu-
ously. I will turn my report in to
Miss Belden, and suggest that she
make you work at her Offices
with some other secretary"
Margery was putting on her hat
as she spoke. She picked up her
gloves and went to the door.
"Good-by, Mr.. Matthews" she
said and then, to Camille, Good.
by, Miss Whatever-your-name-is!'
She closed the door. Camille
giggled. Freddy said. There goes
the most efficient secretary any
man ever had!"
And you stood there and let
her insult me! That common
cheap "
"Cut that, Camille. There is
nothing common or cheap about
her"
Camille lost all control of her
self then.
That's right. Defend her!
You-you-"
She began throwing bric-a-brac
about with such fury that Freddy
had to laugh. He even reached
up and handed down some pieces
she couldn't reach, herself.
Now" Camille said, "if I ever
see that woman again Ill really
lose my temper and make a
scene!
Freddy walked to the door with
her.
$50 glad to have had you," he
said, do come again."
Camille hesitated, then muir
INJURED, you know my phone
number, darling"
Freddy went back and tried to
do some work, but it was useless.
Margery went home, discarded
her hated disguise and got into
some attractive house clothes
after a shower. Once more she
was her own beautiful self. She
typed a complete report on her
portable machine, to send to Miss
Belden. When Susie got home she
grabbed the evening paper from
her.
"'Lo, Sue. Let's have a slant al
the want ads again." she said.
"Marge Morrison! Don't tell me
you are fired again?"
This time, dearie, I left under
my own steam. You see. the boss
has Girl Friend"
Il see. You forgot to put on
your disguise and the girl got
! jealous. huh?"
! Margery told Susie all about it,
with many a quirk and side re.
mark, that had Susie roaring.
Just the same. Marge, I bet
you fell for him." Susie declared,
when she had finished her story,
Don't be silly"
