the main points of liberty and
justice advocated by President
Wilson and which we, as Ameri-

There was consequently no
reason for the United States of
America to become a party to
the League of Nations, and the
Hearst papers were one of the
many purely American influences
which opposed its entry.
Nor did the mass of the Ameri-

do you mind being as poor as we

He looked at her with genuine
surprise. Lord, no! I've been

She didn't want to think about

when Sheila Sherman had been In
his life. But Sheila had been his
girl, not a wife he was living with.
Sheila had been helping him She
hadn't been a conscious RESPONSE
bility, there with him all the time.
Halle took heart with the thought
that she, too, was helping him. She
began to have pride in her job. 1t
was a god-send and 1t was honor
able work.
She wrote brightly, bravely to
Louise and Toby:

CHAPTER TWENTY

T HALLE MADE up her mind to
get a job. But making up her mind
and setting out to do 1t were two
quite different things. 1t was all
very well to say, "I'n 30 get Job
tomorrow, Eric. I know you hate
the Idea, but If we just had little
to depend on! I'll get something !
can quit as soon as you're on your
feet. In the meantime, well re-
trench"
Retrenching, Halle hoped,
wouldn't get to be a habit. There
had been the time In New York,
and now here she was at what she
would then have thought Of as the
last wall to be backed against. How
did one live more cheaply than they
were living in the boarding house?
Outside help came In the form
Of a suggestion from one Of the
extra girls who lived at the board
ing house. She knew young Ital-
ian couple who had room to rent
and would allow the Adamses to
use their kitchen to prepare their
meals. That way, she told them,
they could live on SIS week.
1t could be done, Halle figured,
after renting a small, comfortable,
clean room from the Casellinis for
S25 a month. Rent came to only
little more than Sc week and
Halle could feed the two Of them
on seven or eight.
She hadn't the least idea what
they'd use for carfare or other SUM-
dries. Or, for that matter, how
much she could earn.
Thinking this way, she came
smack up against the problem of
how she would search for a job the
next day. In books, and in the
movies, the formula called for look
ing at the classified advertising
columns.
She garnered all the morning pa
pers and went through every coll
umn religiously. She could find
mansions for rent, cooks to hire,
wallets and secretaries available;
she found columns Of cars offered
for sale, business partnerships Of
fered "for small Investments" IN
der Help Wanted. there was oppor-
tunity for q mechanic, a comp
tometer operator and q worker In
bead embroidery. Nothing for an
unframed graduate Of 4 fashion
able finishing school.
Halle took her problem to the
girl who had suggested the move
to the Casellini household.
Gosh, hon, I wouldn't know
what to tell you What can you do?
And without waiting for Halle to
answer humbly, Nothing" the girl
said. The trouble with getting
Jobs a. q secretary In a studio Is
that they Just ANTI And the extra
girls grab all the selling Jobs there
are. Lemme think I got I'll"
Halle waited eagerly.
Then the girl-her name, she
said, was Gracia Devoe-looked

ished brogues to the top Of her
