Q SERIAL STORY
 x WHEN A GIRL MARRIES

He don been asKln' me where you bin this las week." Jim vol- unteered cheerfully.
 My father and mother met with an accident" she said absent mindedly. I've been with them"
 Hank had been asking about her. So he had missed her. She couldn't just walk out this way without seeing him, without let ting him know where she was.
 Wait 8 minute" she said briskly, reaching a decision. She delved in her purse, found a mem orandum Look. tore out a sheet, and began to write. I'll leave my new address with you, Jim, in case any mail comes here for me"
 It was lame excuse but better than none. Of course. there wouldn't be any mail for her, she knew that. for none of her friends had this address. but Hank would ask where she had gone and Jim would tell him.
 The garrulous Jim breezed on. "It's too bad you're missin' seein' the doctor. He jest lef' yesterday Went for a trip with his mother and Mig Adams"
 Enid stopped writing. Hank had gone with his mother and = Clare Adams. The beautiful arrogant. redheaded Clare, the girl he had said his mother wanted him to marry.
 She tore the scrap of paper on which she had been writing to bits How silly she had been. thinking that he might want 10 see her again - might even go to the bother of looking her up.
 Whats the matter, Mig Shar- on? That your new address you don tore up?"
 Tt doesn't matter. Jim. I won't bother you with 1t. I'd forgotten, the postoflce will forward my mail"
 She gave Jim a generous tip and asked him to call a taxi for her. Then she turned mechanically and went out front to wait for its arrival.
 
 The nerve -wracking elickety-elack of 50 typegriters pounded on Enid's aching head like so many little steel malletk driving into her brain,
 She stopped her own machine for a moment and pressed one hand against her forehead. Her skin felt dry and hot. She hated 10 take another aspirin, she'd taken 70 many Of them during the last few weeks. For her head aehed almost continually. And she felt tired, exhausted.
