his love directly, things might
somehow have turned out differ
emily. This business of saying, II
wouldn't dare ask you again, it
isn't fair"-that was no way to
solve a problem, or to win a wife.
Either you do or you don't, she
unused, even while she realized that
Sandy feared to risk final mo"
if he should ask and be refused.
Walking down Ninth street to-
ward her Office, her heels clicked a
rat-a-tat-tat: neutrality-suspicious.,
it isn't fair, it isn't fair, door
don't, isn't fair. Was there no way
out?
Marcia faced the future with
undisguised dread. Life had lost
it's glamor with old Abe a ruthless
driver, Sandy afraid to speak his
mind, and both her private and her
business life in a state of turmoil.
Ellen came in to interrupt her
bitter reverie, and sat down on a
high stool. Marcia, in her rust
toned smock with the sunlight
caressing her coppery hair, was a
picture Of despair. Frankly, she
turned to her friend.
ELLEN, I can't understand my
self. For years I've been crazy
about advertising as a profession.
And suddenly it has lost all its
glamor. I just don't. give a hang
about all this" and her hand de-
scribed a sweeping arc to take in
all her work.
"Why, Marcia. I should think
you'd be happier than ever, now.
What's the trouble ?"
MAN trouble"
ooh, see. Well, my dear, there
are very few of us women who can
combine marriage and a career
and even fewer men are willing to
let you try it. Personally, I'm in
clined to think they're right. To
be a success at creative work such
as you do, you must live it and
| love it. Not many men are willing
to share your love, even with a
job"
"But Ellen, Sandy-why won't
he let me try it? I'd be willing
to give up if 1 found we couldn't
be happy"
Ellen shook her head, SANDY is
wiser than that, Marcia. He
knows himself, knows his own ma
ture would be the first obstacle to
happiness. You know, women can
be divided into two classes those
whose first interest is a man and a
home, and those who can be con-
tent with. work. And most men
are alike: they want the undi-
vided attention of the woman they
marry. I just wish someone would
want to take me away from this
m y-go-round. There aren't
enough brass rings on it to suit
me-"
Marcia looked at her friend in
amazement, for the moment taken
out Of her own worries. The
revelation Of Ellen's secret heart
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1937-06-07

was startling.
'"Too bad we can't change
Places" Marcia began, then COR
rected herself hurriedly, mot that
I'd let you have Sandy. But there
must be other men"
"Sure, several million of them,
according to the last census. But
do you want me to advertise for
one? You don't know how lucky
you are, Marcia Madden, to have a
good man crazy about you. And
personally think you're a fool to
let him slip through your fingers.
If you're set on this darned career
of yours and if you think that will
be good company for the long eve
nings and the years ahead, why go
to it. But for your sake, hope
your Sandy is still around when
you finally come to your senses
and decide he is more important
than all your fame and dollars.
Oh"
Ellen rushed from the room,
ashamed of her outbreak. Marcia
was shocked at the admissions she
had made, yet the philosophy she
preached seemed to make her own
problems the harder.
If Sandy was physically incap-
able. of accepting so-called part
time wife,, that meant that she,
Marcia, would have to do all the
sacrificing to make their happiness
possible. If she did give up the
work she loved, she realized that
they would start their married life
under cloud: he feeling the bur-
den of her sacrifice, she resenting
the need for it.
Again she reached an impasse in
her reasoning. There seemed no
way out until one or the other of
them changed fundamentally.
Hartley came into her Office
without knocking, startling her out
Of her reverie. Marcia, you've
been evading me lately, and don't
know why. I haven't done any,
thing to offend you, have II"
"Why no, Mr.. Hartley. I've
just been busy"
"And by the way, did you know
my name to my friends is Walt?
Why not call a truce on all this
coldness, get another girl and go
with me and Tony Elliott to some
Of the bright spots tonight? You
look as if you could do with lit
tie gaiety. What's the verdict?"
She was about to refuse, remem-
bering the first time she had let
him drive her home and caught a
hint of his INSCRIPTIONS inner self
beneath the mask of urbanity.
Then she thought of Ellen. Here
was chance to give her friend
some much needed male compan-
ionship and to take her mind off
her own troubles. On the spur of
the moment she replied, "All
right, why not? I'll get Ellen, and
you may pick us up at my apart.

CHAPTER 13

NOW I'VE done it," Marcia
told herself a minute later, when
Walter Hartley had left to plan the
party for that night. She realized
she had taken one more step to
separate her from Sandy, recalling
his threatening remarks about
another man" when they sat on
the hillside at La Cresta. well, -
she figured, obstinately, eff he
doesn't want me, there are those
as do. And besides, there's Ellen"
So thinking, she jumped up and
rushed out of her glass enclosed
compartment in search of Ellen.
Marcia looked about her in amaze
ment as if she'd never seen the
office. There had been a day, not
so long ago, when the main items
in the big room had been Abe's
massive desk and the bOastful gold
letters on every window and on
the door: "ACME ADVERTISING
SERVICE, A. B. Zimmerman,
Pres"
Now the walls were cluttered
with framed ads and pictures
scrapbooks bulging with clippings
and proofs lined the side counter.
Two small desks had been crowded
into one corner to make room for
temporary help, and file cabinets
seemed to multiply like rabbits
Now Abe had taken refuge in a
private office, and Walt had tenn
porarily rented room across the
hall.
Ellen used Abe's old desk these
days, and Marcia saw that it was
covered with ledgers, bills, check
sheets and a wicker file basket that
Abe kept perennially filled. The
phone tangled necessarily, and
Ellen confirmed publication dates
issued new insertion orders, argued
about bills in a gracious but as
sured manner Abe flung staccato
orders at her through the door, and
she jumped. up in answer before
she saw Marcia beckon to her.
"What ?pshe asked hurriedly.
"We're going out on hinge to-
night, you and with Walt and
a fancy friend of his. Is it all
right? ?" she said, briefly.
"But Sandy? What"
''That's my worry. Will you
go?" Marcia waited nervously fol-
an answer. Eyes or no?"
"Well, yes, but" and before
Ellen could say more Marcia
turned back toward her own Office
A day had never seemed so long
Marcia finished the final sketches
for the engraver, and a heated dis.
cussion was necessary before she
felt he understood the problems the
job presented. She was anxious tt
lose none of the brilliance of tone
yet could not forfeit the soft
shadows that lent richness. Limp
