IT couldn't leave my job tomor-
row."
He shook his head. mo, but you
can go shopping and buy a good
car"
A good car! Verity's imagination
began to take great strides. Dining
at Simonellli'S, a new car, fur coats
and all that sort of thing. She sud-
denly realized that she would have
to watch her step or she would lose
all shreds of her reputation. 1t was
not going to be easy to be suddenly
rich.
Glad to Be Alone.
That same night at 10 o'clock
Verify stood before the mirror in
her bedroom. 1t was a tall pier glass
fixed on her wardrobe door.
Verify shared a small apartment
with her friend, Peggy Marshall.
Peggy Marshall worked in a depart
ment store and liked it. She was
cheerful, freckle-faced girl with re-
bellious curlS all over her head and
a piquant nose, so short and tip
tilted that it gave her a perennially
youthful appearance. Seeing that
she was only Verity's age, that was
not surprising. She could not under
stand how Verify could bear working
in an Office, seeing the same people
day in, day out, for months.
She liked the store where she
worked because she liked the end
less stream of changing faces. Be-
sides, she worked at mems count
er, which suited her temperament
and also gave her excellent oppor-
tunity for good sales results with
out the nervous strain of dealing
with her own sex.
Peggy was out when Verify re-
turned to the apartment. Verify
was glad because now she was
alone she felt overwhelmed by the
miracle that had descended upon
her out of the blue.
She stood beside her mirror and
slipped off her frock.
What she saw was not unpleasing,
and she gazed at herself as though
she were taking part in some rite,
casting off forever the old and en-
tering on new life in new world.
1t was all Overwhelming.
Yesterday she was working girl

Exciting Adventure Ahead.
Now she was a young woman OF

These thoughts were interrupted
by the warning sound of the bath
water which was pouring with
deeper note as the bath filled.
She snatched up her negligee and
dashed into the bathroom. She
turned off the tap and stepped into
the steaming water. Then she lay
quietly soaking away the last ele-
ments of the Verify Vane that had
scraped and scrimped to make ends
meet. 1t was luxurious feeling.
She was reveling in it when she
heard the key in the front door.
Then Peggy pushed her head
through the open bathroom door.
"Woosh A hot bath on a night
like this! Wish I could crawl into
a refrigerator"
Peggy" cried Verify. Come
back. I've got some news for you"
Peggy's voice came back muff1ed
by the dress she was slipping over
her head.

Verify laughed. Hes a darling.

vainly for a spider on the boards

How exquisite in a rude nest in

young swallows. Not far away, in
