PENNY LANDS A JOB
CHAPTER III

Penny sang good morning
TO a bright and cloudless day.
From her window she could
see white plumes of smoke
floating lazily up from the val
ley-hugging mills.
She had realized last night
that Kirktown would be no
paradise. She had known that
a community nestled so close to
the smoke of the steel mills and
the SCOT of the railroad yards
must absorb some blackness.
But Penny was not prepared
for the nightmare of ram
shackle, broken-down buildings
that made up Kirktown. They
looked for all the world as
though they were held togeth-
er with clotheslines and built on
foundations of toothpicks.
The river was not a stream at
all, but a rusty, smelly, steam
ing sewer. 1t cut the town in
half. On one side the Kirk mills
rose in black majesty. They
were huge, powerful, impress
i've and dirty.
Central avenue lined the 9TH
err side, its dirty-faced buildings
fronted the river. Two foot
bridges crossed the street and
river, providing access to the
fenced-in mills. To the right, as
far as her eye could see, stretch
ed buildings and furnaces and
railroad yards - the Kirk in
dustrial empire. To her left, de-
void of all attractiveness, lay
the shattered, bruised, smoky
resi- d ences and commercial
structures that marked the rem
nants of her dream of Kirk
town.
Though the day had just be-
gun, Penny was already tired.
She parked her car YEARLY, stiff
ling another urge to leave Kirk
town behind her forever. Sure
ly somewhere in thic broken
down hodge-podge of derelicts
there must be some saving note
of charm.
In silent depression she walk
ed down Central avenue. She
had never seen SO poor bust
ness street. Merchants showed
no pride in their establishments.
Most Of the windows had no dis
plays.
She wandered up one street
and down the other. Only the
avenue at the top of the hill,
where the John Kirk Memorial
Auditorium had been erected,
defied the universal ugliness.
Here, on a plateau overlook
ing the teeming mills. few dar-
ing souls had built middle-class
homes that blossomed like GASES
in the sooty desert. Here were
Kirktown's only patches of gar
den.

Back on Central avenue again
she paused TO rest in front of
restaurant whose interior was
the most inviting she had seen
since starting her tour of the
town. The girl b c h d the
counter was neatly uniformed.
Steel workers, in long sleeved
black shirts despite the heat of
the day, sat at the long counter.
Penny realized she had been
walking for hours. She was thir-
sly. She walked n and sat down.
The girl behind the counter
smiled a cheerful greeting as
she placed a glass of water in
front of Penny.
"A glass of milk, please" said
Penny.
Sure, honey" replied the
waitress. And don't worry.
You'll get the job. I'll put in a
word for you with the boss.
Chin up, kid. You're in.
p Ell ny watched in startled
wonder as the Girl Wanted"
sign was lifted out of the res
taurant window. Then she look
cd at herself in the mirror. Her
dress no longer wore the crisp
look that had endeared it to her.
/. was wrinkled now. Her face
showed unmistakable signs of
the smudges she had accumu-
lated during her long walk.
This, Penny thought as she
studied the troubled, weary ex-
preston on her face, must be
the ways jobless girls look for
work after a hard lay of fruit
less search far employment.
Should she take the job?
Here, Penny realized, was a
golden opportunity to pierce be
low the surface of Kirktown, 70
find out for herself what had
caused such deterioration. She
adjusted her hair and brushed a
fleck of SCOT from her nose. She
wanted to make a good impress
sion on "the boss"
In a moment he hustled out
of his kitchen, a rotund, excited
little man. He appraised her
swiftly, nodded, Cali right" he
said, you start tomorrow
So Penny Kirk, who used to
sleep until noon, started her
first days work at Pietro's Res
taurant at 6 o'clock the next
morning.
Good morning, honey" her
friend of yesterday greeted. "My
names Nudge Carter. What's
yours"
Penny Kellogg" the heiress
to the Kirk millions responded,
glancing swiftly at the row of
breakfast foods on the back
counter. Thanks for the boost"
Nudge"
Think nothing of it, kid.
You didn't need any help. Old
Pietro can spot a good waitress
the minute he sees one" Nudge
studied Penny's trim figure. "Tll
bet you've worked in a lot bet
ter beaneries than this one"
she complimented.
Penny wondered what Nudge
would say if she knew that her
hands had never before lifted a
dish. She wondered, too, what
her friends would say if they
could see her in tho whitC-trirp

med green uniform, a triangu-
lar cap perched saucily on her
soft curls. She smiled as she
caught a glimpse of herself in
the mirror.
Come on, Penny. There's
work TO be done" called Nudge.
The next turn starts soon"
A turn, Penny learned, was
the shift worked by the men in
the mill. From the restaurant
window, sh g could see steel
workers crossing over the foot
bridge on their way to work.
Penny swung easily into the
routine of the restaurant. From
Nudge she learned to take her
work in the spirit Of lark, as
though she were picnicking in
stead of laboring. At the ex-
pense of a few nervous dishes,
she soon learned TO carry the
amazing number of things wait
resses can manage with skillful
hands and wrists.
Men sauntered into Pietro's in
groups of three or four. Most of
them were young. She liked
their CHEEKY greetings and their
natural courtesy toward her.
Later on, storekeepers drifted in
TO discuss business conditions
and the days headlines over
their cups of coffee.
When the noon rush had end
ed, Penny felt she had earned
the rest and the luncheon Pie
tro offered. From the kitchen
came tantalizing odors and Pie
tro's excited voice.
"Sit down, Miss Penny" Pie
tro said. Il have something
special for you" He push c d
through the swinging door, a
steaming dish of spaghetti held
aloft for Penny's inspection.
You have to eat every bit
Of it,, Pietro insisted. Il made
the meat sauce especially for
you" He lowered over the la
BILE, arranging the basket of
white bread and the dish of
cheese. Eat. It's good for you"
Penny hadn't realized S h c
was so hungry. She hadn't be-
lieved anything could be so APP
petizing. Intent on her dinner,
she didn't notice the newcomers
who staggered in Had she been
W a &C h ing Nudge, usually so
friendly, she would have been
surprised at the cold stare that
was her only greeting for them.
There were five men in the
group. Definitely not steel work
crs, Penny decided. They didn't
bother to remove spotless white
felt hats as they seated them
selves. They wore expensive silk
sport shirts, wildly colored;
trousers that were too carefully
creased, shoes shined to mirror
perfection. Suspenders of fooled
leather completed their garish
splendor.
Nudge took their "black cof-
fee" orders in silence. She serv-
ed them and walked to the other
side of the counter, where she
busted herself arranging nap
kins and filling sugar bowls.
Then, in a flash, like a cloud
burst descending suddenly from
clear sky, black fury hit Pie
tros restaurant. That was the
only way Penny could describe
the scene that caught her start
led eyes when she turned at the
sound of crashing dishes.
