Women I'm Love m.v&;s~

Is he here now? Shall I go right up
to his Officer" asked Ann.
"He isn't in yet. He'll send for you
when he wants you. = came to pre-
pare you for an interview that may
be-unpleasant. He was almost chol-
eric yesterday about what he consid-
ers is an inexcusable blunder on your
part. In fact" said the merchan-
disc manager worriedly, "it's only fair
to tell you he was quite prepared to
let you out yesterday. I had a talk
with him, however. Not that it ap-
parently has had much result"
AIMS quiet dignity did not desert
her in this situation, even though the
whole world seemed to be topping
about her ears. To be fired from the
job that meant so much to her and to
her family! Worse still, to lose con-
tact with the man who had told her
that he loved her-whom she loved
achingly-and who now was treating
her as though nothing beyond the
ordinary civilities of store life had
ever passed between them. It was as
though he had a dual personality.
But pride helped her. She summoned
it forcefully.
Where a weaker or more design
ing character would have traded-or
attempted trading-on their more
delicate relationship outside the store,
AIMS manner was completely business
like, detached, as she told the mer-
chandise-manager that certainly she
would resign if her services were no
longer wanted.
"Don't do that" The first human
CLEAN came into the fine eyes. "Mr.
Weiss is temperamental. He gets
exaggerated notions in his head as
to the reasons motivating his execu-
tives. In moments of anger, or. of
worry, his imagination flies off at a
tangent. His suspicious run ahead
of him."
This was cryptic information. Ex-
actly what was he trying to convey
to her?
She was suspected of something
over and above being an incompetent
buyer! He was skirting round it,
hesitating to come out in the open!
Why?
Because of his feeling for her? Or
because of the transient emotion that
a filtration with a pretty girl had
brought out?
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1939-01-06

Ann felt that she hated everybody.
Specially loathed Paul Bradley at that
moment. His maxim as to business
and love not mixing came back to her
forcibly.
eff Mr.. Weiss will have the courtesy
to tell me what he actually suspects
me of, then I shall have an opportun-
ity to clear myself" said Ann. She
couldn't resist adding, because she
was so hurt that everything churned
inside her: "Not that women usually
get square deal from men if trouble
has to be put on someone or other"
"Is that fair?"
SIS life fair to women?" Ann asked
holly.
cts their own fault if it isn't" re.
torted Paul Bradley.
He was thinking of what Herman
Weiss had told him yesterday, about
Ann being in a box at the Opera with
Tim O'Hallahan. How she had fooled
him, pulled the wool over his eyes, as
surfing him that she declined Tins
invitation, and the very next night,
after his declaration in the taxicab,
Haunted herself in public with Tim!
Meaning" asked Ann icily, and
quite forgetting their respective po-
sitions, "that women are unreliable,
and totally unable to meet men on
their own ground?"
"Yes-since you're asking for it.
That's my personal opinion"
They glared at one another.
"That's too utterly absurd! You
know perfectly that the sheltered wo-
man is quit out of date" Ann re-
torted. "And a good radiance, too,
for the world no longer offers shell
ter for women. Even when she mar
ries, what guarantee has any girl to-
day that she's going to be supported
or protected? She's simply got to
stand on her own feet"
"But she doesn't. She uses other
weapons. Plays with fire like baby,
and then yells if she's burned"
What was he driving at? Would
she ask him outright? But hadn't
he scathingly said that the greatest
fault of women was in turning the
story to their own personal angle?
Yet she couldn't resist it.
with which particular fire am l
concerned, pray?"
81 should advise you to find out
and stop playing with it. Otherwise
-well-a fire has a way of destroy
ing one"
Was it threat? She hadn't play
ed with him. She had been in dead
earnest. He must know that.

peared at the door of the salon, asking
Mr.. Bradley and the Lingerie buyer
please to come for a preview of his
handiwork.
But, shaking his head, the merchan-
dise-manager strobe out to the main
floor and the elevators, and so up to
his own office.
It was terrible morning for Ann.
The axe was hanging was liable
to fall'a any moment :. but, infin-
itely worse than the loss of a job
she valued, was the detached, cold at
titude of one she had trusted implicit
", believed every word of love he had
spoken.
If this change of demeanor towards
her were prompted by her error of
judgment in buying, then surely it was
inordinately harsh? Unjustified?
No one was infallible, least of all
a girl who had never done lucra-
tive hands turn in her brief existence
until her entry less than five months
ago in to the store.
Not that Ann pitied herself, or ask
ed for any lenience not accorded the
other workers. To be summarily con-
demned for what in her own mind was
no blunder, was cruelty harsh on the
part of the store owner and his man.
ager.
Paul Bradley, when she had put the
question to him in spirit of sarcasm
had admitted that he considered wo-
men unreliable in business, and unable
to meet men on their own ground.
It made her furious. He was mar
row-minded. It wasn't love she had
felt for him in the moonlight, after

The fleeing suspicion that he was
jealous of Tim O'Hallahan at Rosa

His recent, coldly spoken rebuke anent

ed with orders from her came from a
businesses man-her boss, and not her
lover. 1t had no hint of the personal.
How could she know that she had
been seen at the Opera with Tim
O'Hallahan by the Gift Shop buyer?
Her mothers chaperonage was omit
ted from the story which had been
retailed to Herman Weiss?
