II don't care if it u.s." she said.
Joe Beardsley took her hand in his.
Let's get back to the office" he said.
Il can't kiss you here"
You could kiss me out on the
street." Mary Benbow said.
So they went outside and he kissed
her and she cried a little on his
shoulder.

inexpensive Photographic lamps works
beautifully for silhouettes and permits
of snapshot exposures.
But be sure that there is no light in
the room other than that which comes
through the sheet.
Silhouettes have a wide useful
ness - as portraits for place cards,
Valentines, book plates and so on.
With little experience, you'll be up
to new Photographic stunts.
''Story-telling' silhouettes depend,
for their success, on details of pose
rather than facial expression. In the
silhouette reproduced here of the
young teacher and her dolls the up
raised finger is all-important.
Questions from Snopskoofsrs
Question: What is meant by fast"
lens? What kind of lens makes sharp"
pictures? (R.M.P)
Answer: A fast lens is lens that
will admit large amount of light so
that slow snapshot exposures may be
made under poor lighting conditions
and extremely rapid snapshots under
good lighting conditions. Technically.
lens is fast" if the diameter of the
largest stop is large in proportion to
the focal length of the lens. Lenses
working at f.6.3. f.4.5 or f.3 IS or larger
are generally considered fast lenses. A
lens that is quite fully corrected. such
as an anastigmat lens. should produce
sharp image.
Question: Is there any Uay TO apoid
getting those stye0ks of liga from auto
mobile headlights in might time
exposures Of street scenes? (C.A.MO
Answer: Not without changing your
camera point of view, or putting some
thing in the foreground to block out
the lights. Why not turn the streaks
into pictorial assets? Plan your picture
so that the flow of the lights will be a
help, not a hindrance.

Mary went to work on Monday
morning. Joe Beardsley was only an
hour late. He had just got in when
Wooderson called her up. He was
phoning from the Grand Central. Did
they 60 to the theater or didn't they?
"Tll have to ask Mr.. Beardsley.
I don't know what his plans are"
''His plans are of no consequence"
Wooderson shouted into the telephone.
Mary let the receiver drop away
from her ear while she asked Joe
if he planned to work that evening.
Is that Wooderson?" he asked.
EYES," she said. "he wants me to
60 to the theater with him."
I'm sorry" Joe Beardsley said.
"We've got to work."
Mary told MIR. Wooderson that. Mr..
Wooderson said they could have an
extra two days on the booklets. Mary
replied that she was very sorry but
she must work.
"This is the last time shall put up
with this nonsense" Mr.. Wooderson
said as he hung up.
Mary took Joe Beardsley's dicta-
ton until ten o'clock that evening.
Then he insisted on knocking off. He
said he wanted to get home early.
They rode downtown on the bus and
got 50 interested in what they were
saying that they went on under the

arch to the south side of the square
where the buses stop.
ITS early" Joe Beardsley said.
Let's make it round trip"
So they rode up town as far as the
bus went. which took more than an
hour. and then rode down again. They
talked furiously part of the time. But
often they we're silent for ten minutes
sitting there with their shoulders
touching. Mary thought he must feel
the way she felt. But he didn't do
anything about it.
She lay awake thinking about it
after she had gone to bed. One minute
she thought it was perfectly natural
and reasonable that Joe Beardsley
should be so afraid OF Wooderson and
the next minute she thought it was
wholly shameful. But how could his
fear of Wooderson be shameful if he
didn't care about her?
Wooderson called her up the next
morning before Joe Beardsley got
down. Mary said she had to work.
Wooderson said il was silly and
stupid. He said he wouldn't have it.
He said for her to have Joe Beardsley
call him up the moment he got in.
Listen Stanley" Mary Benbow
said. 1t was the first time she had ever
called him by his first name and she
did it deliberately. hoping it would
have its effect. II shan't have to work
late. Why don't you come over to the
Office about nine o'clock and take me
somewhere?"
''I'll do that" he said. "And if Joe
Beardsley is there it will be good
time to tell him what's what"
Joe Beardsley asked her if she was
going out with Wooderson when he
came in. She said she had told Wooder-
son she would have to work.
WAS he sore?"
''He seemed annoyed" Mary said.
II love to annoy that man." Joe
Beardsley said. "But of course we do
have to keep that account. 1t wouldn't
be fair to Logan & Logan to lose it
merely for the sake of putting him
in his place"
Mary thought that over. Mary
thought that was the slipperiest alibi
she had ever heard. Joe Beardsley de-
served what was coming to him. She
was entirely justified in playing the
trick she had planned.
When Joe Beardsley suggested that
evening that it was time to send out
for sandwiches and coffee Mary said
she'd plug in a line. She went out to
the switchboard. But she didn't plug
