furniture, rugs and china and wild
odds and ends, and as Amy stared
aghast at its picturesque extravaganza
Bill said casually, Suggested furnish

Amy said nothing.
ITS a proposal" Bill spoke again.
"Obviously can't spend my life fight
ing demented impulses to kiss
shopper in this department.
Still Amy was silent and Bill said,
Hey, do you always act like turtle
when a guy asks you to marry him."
But, Bill" Amy said, tears rolling

first time it's ever really mattered"
Bill thought, ITO hell with the
doors! If anybody walks in, let 'emr'
and picked her up in his arms.
Miss Brewer, a few minutes later,
opening the door with an armful of
merchandise, gasped, "Merciful Heav-
ems, MIR. Kent. I'm so glad" and
backed out.
Sherlock" Bill said to Amy, "in
Heavens name what made you think
of tapping a telephone booth with a
stethoscope"
Amy's cheek brushed his shoulder.
MY goodness, Bill" Amy said. why
wouldn't l think of it? I'm a doctors

"Jocelyn," Bill said with distaste,
you and have nothing at all to dis
cuss. You've had several opportunities
to buy for Arnold Leroux. Perhaps
you'd better call him up.
Amy stared blankly at Clalre's
handbag, sharply alive to the sounds
around her, a rustic of paper on Bills
desk and Jocelyn's gasp as she fled.
The door closed. Il i feel sorry
for her," Amy whispered.

Continued from poss five

Yeah" Burke interrupted, but
you don't see him draggin' Miss
Brewer up to the mushrooms, do you.
And she works like a horse!
Something was Pickering slowly out
of Amy's face perhaps" she said,
I'D better stay out oft, too. What -
what really matters most, is keeping
my job - can't afford to lose it!
But, of course, if l mind my business
and keep on changing my clothes. she
can't get me fircd!'
Don't be too sure That baby's got
more up her sleeve than good
lookin' arm"
Bill, that noon, had tray brought
down from the restaurant for Jocelyn
and himself
Bill" Jocelyn said, yesterday l
gave Amy Wentworth and another
girl - Miss Kramer - precisely the
same assignments just to double-check
competitors prices. Miss Kramer
started in time to catch up with Amy
and keep an eye on how she was work

Maybe" Bill said, "she changed
the order of her assignments"
Il don't allow shoppers to do that"
Jocelyn reminded. THE merchandise

"She may have gotten late start
Yes" Jocelyn murmured, I'm
afraid she frequently does A number
of times Amy's been seen turning east
in the morning when her assignments
were all on Fifth Avenue"
"Pete's sake" Bill grumbled, "are
the other shoppers spying on her?'
But Bill didn't like what he was
hearing. A careless shopper who
squandered early minutes in the morn
ing delayed price adjustments and
often precipitated an avalanche of
complaining customers. He reached
for his telephone. Miss Brewer" Bill
said shortly, tell Miss Wentworth l
want to see her as soon as she comes
in"
1t was two o'clock when Amy
reached his desk Bill met her anxious
glance with unsmillng directness,
waved her into chair and curtly told
her what he didn't like. Amy's an

late on that assignment yesterday?
Where did you 90 first?"
Her color vanished. I'm sorry -"
