a tangle of traffic. Horns blar-
ed.
She had never been here be-
fore. They went into a noisy
cafeteria. A machine at the door
yelped twice as the girl pulled
a check for herself and one for
Beatrice. She made her way,
knowingly, to a stack of trays;
selected knife and fork and
spoon from an open rack beside
the trays. Beatrice watched and

The long serving section was
q revelation to Beatrice. You
took your tray and slid it on the
chromium bars past mounds of
salads. At the coffee urns, you
took one of the filled cups that
stopped over a little as the at
tendant pushed it toward you.
There were piles of Danish
pastry, doughnuts, cupcakes. So
much food confused Beatrice.
Meekly, she took two sugared
doughnuts because the girl took
them.
They left the serving section
then. Balancing their trays, they
found a table on which the rem
nants of someone else's meal was
still scattered.
"Boy!" called this amazing
girl who worked in Hunting
tons. A shuffling man in q
white coat approached, gather
ed up the soiled dishes, gave
the table a half-hearted wipe,
and departed.

For a moment, Beatrice Hunt
ington Davenport could on y
stare at this slim, strange girl
with the dark chestnut hair and
the eagerly helpful eyes. She
felt an insane impulse to giggle.
Imagine her leading me into
the personnel office at the store!
Asking them to give me a job!
They'd recognize me immediat-
ely!"
But then, dizzily, she thought,
Recognize me! Would they?
Who has ever seen me at that
store? Only the French ven
deuse in the Import Salon. And
one or two models who have
tried on numbers for me :"

EDITORIAL
Coming Home

Every year about this time, the
old tradition of Homecoming is
fresh in our minds The school spirit
seems to be at its peak. The Band
seems to work harder; the Pepto-
mists hit upon one of their best
programs of the year, and above all
the football team is in about its
best condition.
The two football games previous
~ played on our home field this
year have shown some enthusiasm
from the crowd, but the percent
age of attendance from our high
school and town was much smaller
than it should have been. This Sat-
urday on Homecoming day the
crowd should be so large that it
will fill the entire field. The
spirit shown there should be the
expression of 100 per cent Of the
high school and good percentage
from the toWnspeople to better
than well conditioned" football
team.
In other words. let's show some
school spirit.
