phase OF American life, the fight has
been necessary. We M n nation love
to fight and when our causes have

great deal into our fights. too. Think
OF our fights TO gain religious and
political freedom from old England.
We fought ourselves over state
rights and Negroes. We are now
fighting against mighty foreign ag-
gressor-Hitler. And In small matters
we like equally TO fight. Consider
these Fights against oppressive
working conditions against child
labor, against unfair practices in
business. against crime and rackess.
and against everything, including the
right to drink alcohol.
Yet. with all OF this fighting going
on around him. the Negro seems nj.

CHAPTER XIX

For Q full, hectic week, Beatrice and Anthony worked together over the Great Idea Co-ordinated clothes, or "CC" as they myster- lousiy referred to 1t with in the walls of Huntington,s, led them on merry shopping tours of the main floor, during their lunch hours. They polk ed around in Neckwear, and Hand bagH. and Millinery. They compared coIors and debated in great detail such monumental matters as whe- ther or not to belt with flat bow could honestly be called a tailored belt.
 Beatrice took to hiding among the size 42's, dresses that were size i4. Tt would be awful If someone bought that navy blue fittedll" she said often. "Just when that ensembles perfect. And the tan iersey--Oh, Anthony, suppose someone sees 1t there, in between those black afternoon dressesl"
 'Roll 1t up into @ corner" he advised. with one stock girl, no one VIII ulScOVer At'
 And then, on a Monday 10 days after the idea had been born, there were five separate ensembles all ready to be carried upstairs to the office of the merchandise manager. "Don't forget to get back the money you spent on those bags, hats. and necklaces, Anthony" He had had to buy the things from other departments. Naturally he couldn't explain why he wanted them taken out of stock.
 "I1l remember. But suppose he throws me out of his office?"
 "I1l buy the stuff from you" el1e offered. "But, Anthony, he simply couldn't be so stupid as not Co realize what c wonderful idea at isw

T wish I could kiss you, right here. Our whole future is tied up in this thingl Why, Bee, if 1t goes over, I'll get a raise, I'll be able to-"
 She cut in quickly, Not here, Anthonyp He had almost said, "I1l be able to ask you to marry me-" And she was afraid of that. The moment he asked, she could no longer continue this deception.
 "The best of luck" she whis- pered. I'm sure everything's go- ing to be all right, but I'll be praying for you, anyway"
 Anthony took a deep breath. Well, here I go."
 A month ago, 1t would have seem- ed ridiculous to her that a man and @ girl, ostensibly in their righ. minds, could be 50 dreadfully earnest-could even be prayingl - about a thing like this. "A month ago." she thought, "I'd have laughed at It."
 Yet the whole time she waited on girl who wanted Q bottle green dress and who should never have 50 much as approached any shade of green, Beatrice's mind was up there with Anthony. What had he done first-showed the en- sembles, without word, as Bea- trice had urged him to do3 Or had be begun to explain, and was he showing the ensembles after ward?
 The girl who wanted the green dress compromised on c rust wool. Beatrice wrote out the sales check, gave the customer the wrong change, caught herself, and had to summon Miss Dane in MT. Bradley's absense to o. k. the opening of the cash register again.
 where is Bradley9" Miss Dane demanded.
 I'm sure I haven't the least idea,' Beatrice fibbed tranquilly.
 She approached another GUS. toner. "lsn't that pretty plaid?' She eyed the women's size, made an experienced guess. We have that in 18. It also comes in smaller plaid, using those same colors."
 She kept looking ct her watch. Anthony had been gone 50 long. All of a half hourl "But if the merchandise manager was inter- ested, of course they had to talk 1t over. The very fact that he's taking long is a good sign. Tiff 1t hadn't gone over, he'd have come right down again."
 Show me the smaller plaids,' said the customer. No, wait e minute. My husbands waiting for me upstairs. really didn't ex- pect to buy 6 dress. think I'll bring him back down here and try 1t on so he can see 1t. If I'm going to buy an extra dress, he'd better see 1t first"
 "Of course" Beatrice smiled. "IIl hold 1t aside for you" |
 She didn't expect to see the wo- man again. Often customers prom ised to be back l.. the aftertnoon, or tomorrow, or in 10 minutes, and dis- appeared forever. Toby had explain ed, "They hate to admit they're just looking"
 Beatrice, who had never been intimidated by a salesperson in her life, found 1t amusing to re-

fleet that she who had bothered other girls endlessly and frequent ly walked away without purchas- ing, should now be on the other end of the transaction.
 twill you wait on me, pleasep'' woman with @ litle boy gaked. This child's bothering me to death, but I just got to have a dress to wear to go away in. We're going to Ohio, to see my hus- bands mother, you know"
 The customer talked on and on Beatrice made the proper, rec joinders at the proper intervals but she was six floors away, up there in the merchandise man. agers office. If only Anthony would come down soon. The sus- pense was awful.
 She was just ushering the woman and the little boy into a fitting room when she caught sight of the woman who had said she was going to get her husband "She actually came back" It was unusual. Beatrice stepped for ward, to ask her to walt just q moment, when she saw the wo. mans husband.
 All ct once, her hands were icy There was lump in her throat and though she wanted desper- ately to get back to the sanctuary of the fitting room, she couldn't move.
 That woman's husband was Jenkins. Jenkins, her own chauf- feur!
