Speaking of the factory, how
about dropping in some day soor
and having a look at the cafe

good help, but I'm afraid they
don't know much about balanced
menus"
DO they have to be balanced?"
asked Brenda.
They should be. The right sort
of food for helping people turn
out better work. Not too much
heavy stuff, and yet things that
are strengthening"
Like the proper sorts of sal.

He thrives on them, and yet does

The idea exactly!" said Adam.
1--WE been thinking of sending
away for young woman to come
and take charge for a time. one
of those very modern women well
up on the subject of dietetics.
thought she could make a study
of the cafeteria and get it started
along scientific lines"
But can you make workers eat
what they don't like?" Brenda
wanted to know.
II don't mean serve things they
don't like" Adam said. Il

"Of course he doesn't m n
that" said Susan. THE proper
sort of food. a well-balanced diet,
doesn't have to consist of things
that don't taste good. I know a
lot of things. inexpensive to make,
that are terribly good, and"
Say, l have an ideal" exclaim-
ed Adam. Why don't you come
down and take charge of the cafe
terra for time?"
"You mean come down and ac-
tuallv work in the cafeteria?"
"Yes." said Adam IN pay you
a salary. the same as I would a
professional. And I'd much rath-
er have you there. So would Sam.
the cook. and the others. You're
a native of Linville and they'll be
much more apt to listen to you
than to some woman from off
somewhere. :"
"Oh. but I couldn't. What would
happen to my home?"
"You could get maid"
II know. but" Susan stopped
short. She was thinking. Maybe if
Bill Potter found out that she was
capable of holding down a job,
that she might even do it. he'd
stop spending so much time away
from home. 1T sounds fascinat-
ing she went on presently. Il
do know foods-since my Au n t
Martha was the best cook in Lin
vile county
Then think it over. Susan-se-
riously, I mean" said Adam. And
let me know. l have a feeling that
we could work things out swell to-
gether."
Brenda said nothing. Although
she had been urging Susan to
change if she wanted to hold onto
her husband she now offered no
suggestions The thought of Susan
and Adam working together at the
factory bothered her. She began
wishing she had taken up cooking
instead of newspaper work. She
wished that she had taken course
in dietetics instead of journalism.
Then she could go down and han
die the cafeteria situation for
Adam.
I'll talk it over with Bill" Su
san now was saying. Til speak
to him tonight at dinner She
smiled. After he's full of good
meal and in an amiable frame of

waiting 10 hear from you He ran
down the steps. then to his car.
See what you can do to persuade
her. Brenda" he called back.
Brenda smiled feebly. but said
nothing. She waved a goodby, as
did Susan also. Then she went
back into the house. feeling oddly
raeasv. Maybe she'd been fool
to- get Susan Potter all dolled up
with lipstick. a new hair-do. rouge
and earrings. Maybe she h a d
started something she wasn't 60
ing to be able to handle. like the
boy with his SNOWFALL. That look
in Adam North's eyes when he
talked to Susan about the cafe
terra, that exciting something or
other in his voice Adam never
looks at me like that she thought
with touch of annoyance. And
| darn we'll wish that he would, ;"
she admitted.
AS Adam North drove back to-
ward Linville and his factory a
lot of thoughts were jumping about
in his head-thoughts that had to
do with Susan, Brenda, the cafe
terra, the way Susan's hair look
ed. the way Brenda eyed him,
and some of the things she had
said to him. 1t disturbed him
although he did not like to admit
- +ho ,,,,,, Brenda looked at him,
