Chapter Ill

Sue Mary found going to bed that
evening a slow affair. She would
come back to reality with a start,
finding herself waving her comb
back and forth like a fan, instead OF
through her hair. Twice she started
to hang up her dress and each time
she sank. down on the bed for an
other moment of remembering. The
day had been fun: the first free
day in which the hours hadn't drag
ged.
There had been the first few mo-
ments at the art exhibit, when
she wished desperately that she
hadn't come, but then Nick had
started talking. 1t was simple to
call him Nick, and when he had
learned that she was there, merely
because she had nothing better to
do, because she had time to waste,
he had assumed control. Other
people came during the next hour
and Nick waved casual greetings,
but it was Sue Mary who held his
attention.
He made her talk about her
self, made her tell of her work,
her loneliness, of her life in the
city. He was abrupt in his man
ner, dominating in his inquisitive-
ness, but his very interest held
her.
He wasn't good looking, she re-
membered. He was too dark, too
intense, too aggressive. He wore
his black, wavy hair longer than
the men in the office and it
looked as though he brushed
only once day. His collar was
open and he wore no tie. You
had the impression that clothes and
appearance was an afterthought
with him, yet that carelessness was
a part of him.
Nick had the gift of listening. To
Sue Mary it was unbelievable that

eyes were blue and calm; her voice
almost languid. She wore simple
print frock with an air, but there
was hidden forcefulness about her
that Sue Mary had never associated
with artists.

parties" Nick said. meet the crowd
and get adjusted"
ooh, 1 guess you'll take care of
that" Vera added. "Nick's boss.
He pushes us around-and do we
love it."
She looked at Sue Mary with
interest. "Can you type, file, do
stenographic work."

Office"
Then I put first claim on you.
Who do you work for?"

mot, not much anyway. Cor
poration law. They handle the
work of the big companies; like
Centerville Motors and the Gull
Plane Company"
There was a moments silence.
Sue Mary wondered if they had
ever heard of the firm. TITS pretty
big business"
ayes" Nick said. IT guess it is
And I guess your Office must be busy
right now. War orders. At least
that's what the papers say"
eyes, I read that too" she
agreed. II know that the plane
people are working on something
new. For the government I sup
pose. I heard Miss Grant say there
were a lot of new patents"
She stopped abruptly, blushing
again. 81 don't really know much
about that. I just heard my boss
say something. I didn't mean to
talk office. I guess it's just be-
cause I don't have much else to
talk about"
Sure" Nick said. "But wei
fix that. All work and no play
you've heard that one. Well worl
with us and play, too. Well star
before you're a day older.
We're having a studio party al
Natalie's after we close the show
here tonight. And you're going
with me-"
But Sue Mary had not heard
Natalie and Vera whispering be-
hind her.

anyone could actually be interested
in her humdrum life. Yet Nick lis
tened and asked more questions:
what she read, what plays she'd
seen, what she had studied in school
what she thought of current prob
lens.
She had blushed when he asked
her if she had gone to the Young
Voters rally last week.
I'm terribly stupid about those
things" she confessed. It'll have
birthday pretty soon. Twenty
one. And then when I can vote,
perhaps I'll take an interest in
things like that. I mean like pol
itics, and crusades and - well,
you know"
And what will you be: Re-
publican, Democrat Socialist - or
maybe Communist"
She smiled and shook her head.
cts funny to you, know. My
father was a Republican. guess
all my folks were. Mother doesn't
take much interest, and well, I
never thought much about it
either. My brother-in-1aw's a
Democrat. I used to hear him talk
some-but really never made ur
my mind"
'I can see I'll have to take you
in hand. Well have to continue
your education"
He changed the conversation
abruptly. 1--WE might start with
a party. Ever go to parties?
I don't mean the kind where
you sit around and drink tea.
mean where people talk and
think. This crowds always throwing
parties. None of them has money
enough to make it much of an af-
fair. We get some sandwiches and
beer or coffee, play some records
criticize somebody's latest picture, OF
poetry, or idea on how to make the
world better place.

quainted with Natalie and Vera
They'll find things for you to dc
on your time Off"
The rest of the afternoon had
passed in blur of confusion. Nick
had jumped up and taken her from
group to group, introducing her to
everyone now crowding into the
rooms.
Vera Oliver, dark, with black
hair parted in the middle and
drawn back smoothly from a
broad brow, vivid painted
mouth and dark eyes that flashed
emphasis to her rush of words
had accepted Sue Mary as one of
them, when Nick informed her
that her was a girl interested in
the things they were doing.
What he hasn't explained is that
I know nothing about this" Sue
Mary fastened to add. 81 mean, Il
don't know anything about modern
art and poetry, or politics"
No barriers to break down
then" someone said. Sue Mary
turned around to the tall girl who
had been hanging pictures with
Nick when she first came in.
If you want something to do
with free time you've found the
right ones to help you out. Vera's
starting now with new project for
the Youth Progress group. I bet
she's already planning on how you
can help"
Natalie was striking contrast to
Vera. Her honey-colored hair was
worn in a Shoulder-length bob; her

FERRY PASSENGER FARES
REDUCED 40 PERCENT

Word has been received from the
Public Service Commission that a
reduction of 40 per cent in passenger
fares charged by the Annapolis-Mata-
peake Ferry Company has been order
ed by the Commission, but that no
changes were made in automobile and
truck fares. The ruling takes effect
in ten days unless the company files a
protest within that time.
Under the amended rates schedule
one-way passenger fares across the
Chesapeake Bay were reduced from
80 cents to 80 cents and round-trip
fares from IS cents to so cents. Rates
for children were reduced proportion
ately. The Commission estimated the
new rates would mean an annual saw
in of $4,000 to the public.
