THINKING OF 1T


Well, she was thinking of
il now, and she would see
how much difference it would
make. She turned resolutely
into the most ornate of the
beauty establishments on Fifth
avenue. She stated her buSi-
ness calmly to the girl at the
desk, and within a reasonable
time she was being waved,
and facialed and massaged.
1t was really quite pleasant,
she thought. She had been
missing a very enjoyable
thing.
Her ssion didn't
change as she looked at her
self later. The Frenchman
. who had worked what he
seemed to regard as a miracle,
was plainly disappointed at
her lack of excitement But,
after all. she was the same
Amy Barlow. All they had
done TO her was make up an
already good skin, and wave
well-cared-for hair. 1t made
her mad that such superficial
changes could matter TO
people.
They were the same at the
employment agency. They
gasped and smiled, and said
that really she was a diff
ferent person. The only i'm
provement they could suggest
was new dress. Miss Bar
low went out and bought one
without even asking the price.
ONE OF BEST JOBS
They seemed to regard her
as an accomplishment of their
own at the agency and they
sent her out on one of their
best Jobs. They were COM
placent when she called them
to say she had gotten 1t.
1t was a secretarial posi-
ton. 1t paid well, but she
missed meeting people. Her
boss was nice, but not good
looking like Mr.. Trent. Miss
Barlow, whenever she thought
things like that, became
angry. Mr.. Trent had had no
thought of her and she would
have none of him.
But she had 10 think of
him one day. a moath~ after
she had started her new job.
He called to speak 10 her
boss. Miss Barlow switched
his call TO the other line
without telling him who she
was. A few minutes later
her boss came into her office.
you've made a conquest.
Amy" he said. He called her
Amy already. and Mr. Trent
after 10 years had called her
Miss Barlow.
"Mr. Trent, a good friend
of mine, likes your voice"
POWDER YOUR NOSE"
That's nice" Amy an
swered. She was ashamed
of her heart. 1t was getting
as silly as her waved hair and
her bright red lips. There
was no controlling il.
Hell be up here In an
hour" her boss went on. BE
sure you've got your nose
powdered"
She wished there was some
way for her to escape but
she was busy right UP to the
minute he came. Anyway
she told herself, he wouldn't
think she had tried to inn
press him. She had chewed
most of the lipstick off, ano
despite the warning. her nose
was shiny.

voice." Mr.. Trent said.
"Tt was nice Of you TO re.

on soberly. He didn't say
anything about her hair ol
her bright red dress. A

CHE could read the words
y perfe city well. They
Jumped up and down before
her eyes, sharp, and dark and
extremely readable. But they
didn't, for minute, get
through TO her mind. The
phrase about con ditions
making il necessary to cut
down the staff. They might
expect a green little girl who
had been with them for a
month to believe that, but
surely they didn't think it
would convince Amy Barlow.
She knew the Company in
side and out. She had been
with the firm13 years. Since
she was Is. She knew the
business as thoroughly as did
the president. And so she
knew that conditions were
better now than they had
been in eight years.
How dare they, she thought,
try to tell her that 1t was
necessary TO dispense with
her services? She would have
thought il much more neceS-
Sary TO keep her on as a
stabilizing factor. She was
the only receptionist in the
place who thought about
doing her job. The others
were much more intent on i'm
pressing callers with their
charm and beauty.
STILL HOLDING SLIP
She was still holding the
blue slip in her hands when
Mr.. Trent stopped by to say
good night. He was her
favorite in the whole place.
He was 38 and so good look
ing that she often marveled
that he had managed to stay
single so long. He caught
sight of the dismissal slip at
once, and Miss Barlow was
surprised to see him flush.
I'm sorry about that" he
said, II tried to fix IL so that
YOU wouldn't have to 60"
"You mean you knew they
were going TO fire me-" she
asked.
II heard about it two weeks
ago." he admitted.
"They want young girls at
the reception desks. But don't
you worry, Miss Barlow, I'll
keep my eye out for a spot
for you"
KNOWN FOR TWO WEEKS
He had known for two
weeks and he hadn't told her,
He had let her open her salary
envelope and see the little
blue slip with no warning at
all! 1t was the cruelest thing
he could have done. She
hadn't thought him capable of
such an unthinking action.
Really. it's not necessary
for you to concern yourself.
Mr.. Trent" she said coldly.
I'm going to take vacation
and then there is a position l
am sure I can step into"
He didn't seem TO under
stand her cool tone. The
man must be completely
stupid. Didn't he know she
might have cried in front of
every one. And then his re-
mark about taking on young
girls. Did he think she was
too old to be sensitive about
her age? She was only 81.
you'll let me know If the
job doesn't come through,
won't you?" he was asking.
"Of course, Mr.. Trent"
HER SECOND LIE
That was the second lie she
had told him. There was no
Job in sight, and under no
condition would she call on
him for help.
Call me anyway, and let

and she had gotten no job.
She had not even been sent
out to try to get them.
She was discouraged and wor-

weeks of this sort of thing
would see her savings dwindle

And then one day, the
woman who ran one Of the
employment agencies took her
aside. She said:
