unhappy 1t was no good telling herself she
shouldn't be so sentimental Her heart ached
for this boy Steve. and her traitorous mind
began to envisage in detail, the scene of his
Homecoming. She had reached the point
where the girl had miraculously softened and
was saying just the things that she, Sally
Lou Aldrich would have said, before she
caught herself at it. Guilty. she dismissed
the images from her mind and turned reso-
lutely toward her desk.
Almost Immediately the tall, thin chap
who looked like Ronald Colman came in;
like Colman, that is, if he'd been playing the
part of an essentially kind and charming
person harried by life.
There were shadows under the mans fine
eyes, but they lit up with pleasure as they
looked at the roses.
II say, it's luck to find them. I'd like
dozen, please"
Miss Aldrich lifted them carefully out of the
refrigerator.
Would you like to have some asparagus
with them?" she asked.
"Oh yes, thank you

added it. . The afternoon passed swiftly.
No one else came into the shop. Miss Aldrich
looked anxiously at the last dozen roses. OF
course they would be quite all right tomorrow,
but she did wish someone would take them
today and have all the enjoyment possible
from them. If only Mr. Jaffray would come
in. She was sure he would be delighted to
find the roses.
Miss Aldrich didn't approve of Mr.. Jaf-
FRAY, but she couldn't help admiring him.
He was always 50 pleasant and cheerful. And
so well-groomed.
She'd never seen the Miss Viola Stark to
whom Mr.. Jafray's flowers went, but Gersh-
man had. He delivered the flowers himself
often, since help had become so scarce. He
always alluded to Miss Stark as that doll"
In Gershman's mind, prosperous middle
aged bachelor, doll and a hotel apartment
added up to just one thing. Miss Aldrich
reluctantly supposed he was right. So she
couldn't approve of Mr.. Jaffray. But she
did wonder how it would feel to have man
like that selecting flowers for you.
When she'd been young girl in Mem

phis, she'd had some beaux, of course. All
girls in Memphis did. But never anybody
she'd have had for gracious gift. And here
in New York one simply didn't meet any
men not if one was as shy and reserved
as Miss Aldrich.
But now, at thirty-two. she was very fortu-

Miss Aldrich then began to pack the roses.

as if little surprised at himself for confding
in stranger. my wife's been very i'll. She'll
like these"
''Oh I'm 50 glad we had them for her."
Miss Aldrich said warmly, and then he asked:

nate, she always told herself. She had a
pleasant room, and her landlady was from
the South, and most cordial. There were the
symphony concerts. and 50 many interesting
things to do in great city like New York.
Still, she wondered what it would be like to
be - instead of Miss Aldrich "a doll?
Land sakes," said Miss Aldrich impa-
tiently to herself, what does get into me?
In five minutes it'll be time to close up, and
here sit incoming"
Then, all at once, there were three custom
ers in the little shop: woman from the
apartment building in the next block who
wanted to order two wall vases of ivy, but in
a very particular shade of yellow; little
strange woman with eager eyes, bright as
mouse's, and dressed as though she might be
one of the cleaning women from nearby
hotel, and, miraculously, Mr.. Jaffray.
1t took little time to find the vases of the
exact shade of yellow: Miss Aldrich looked
apologetically at Mr.. Jaffray. Don't hurry
he told her. I'm ahead of time. Got time to
kill" That was Mr. Jaffray for you, always
50 considerable. Miss Aldrich stole another
glance at him.
He was big man. hearty-looking, and his
clothes were 50 festive. They were not bit
flashy, but looked as if he enjoyed wearing
them - not something he just had to put
on to cover his nakedness
k1E STOOD with his back to the shop, looking
out of the window. 1t was as Miss Aldrich
was getting the change for the ivy woman
that she, too, glanced out the window. A girl
and dark Latin-looking man were strolling
along the pavement, oblivious of the rain.
The girl was young and blonde, and she
might have looked hard at another time. But
there was nothing hard about the way she
chung to the man or the look in her eyes,
turned to his. She's just crazy about him."
thought Miss Aldrich happily. She turned to
smile at Mr. Jaffray, who must have seen

Miss AIdrlCh felt Immensely
cheered. Though the afternoon had
darkened and rain had begun to
slosh against the window, inside the
shop it seemed somehow brighter.
Her column of figures gave the same
total the very first two times she

ried in. Now wasn't that kind of them, and
the war and all going on?"
Miss Aldrich compared fleetingly the graft
tude in the woman's voice for two-day
leave and the rage in the voice of the girl
who'd got the first roses when she spoke of
her sweetheart's furlough Of ten.
Bur she didn't have time to draw philo-
sophie conclusion, for the little woman was
rushing on: II know it's extravagant. But
Mary says she wouldn't feel it was wedding
without roses Even when she was little girl
she always used to say. When grow up I'm
going to have roses at my wedding just like
you did, Mama I'd told her 50 much about
my own wedding, you see, and it always was
the roses that took her fancy. OF course Ma
lust went out in the yard and picked them
for me. Ma had great hand with flowers.
But a city child like Mary couldn't under
stand that"
She paused. but only for breath. mot that
Mary hasn't been lucky girl She's got
fine Job - chambermaid. And she's got a fine
boy. And now she's going to have roses.
even, for her wedding!"
Mr.. Jafray had turned little. and Miss
Aldrich thought he was listening. But still
he said nothing
I'm afraid they're rather high" Miss
Aldrich said reluctantly to the woman
Twelve dollars for the dozen"
Twelve - dollars!" the woman repeated
the sum incredulously. Then her little face
crumpled 50 that she looked like tired old
monkey who. once again, had been unex-
pectedly slapped.
Surprisingly. Mr.: Jafray left the window
walked to the refrigerator and looked down
at the roses. These aren't worth twelve dol
lars" he said harshly. They're not fresh.
It's an outrage to ask such price. Two dol
lars would be plenty for them"
Miss Aldrich couldn't believe her ears. The

Miss Akkich would have
been more insistent, but the

dancing with impotence.

Aldrich's circle in Memphis, background was
still rated higher than sables. 1t was the char
acter such girls seemed to have - impatient
and scornful and bold.
The girl had opened her bag and taken out
a card. "Send them to this address tomorrow
morning." she said, land be sure they're there
by eleven"
Certainly" said Miss Aldrich. You're
lucky to find American Beauties. They're
lovely, aren't they?"

counter and launched upon an explanation.
This didn't surprise Miss Aldrich. People
- quite nice people, sometimes - seemed to
feel that because she was clerk in shop
she wasn't exactly human being. They told
her all sorts of intimate things they would
never have dreamed of mentioning had they
met her under other circumstances.

was saying Can you feature that?"
"Why -" Miss Aldrich began.
Steve" the girl interrupted. MY fance.
He wants to be married at high noon. With
me carrying American Beauties. Did you
ever hear anything 50 corny?"
Miss Aldrich couldn't see anything corny
about young man wanting his bride to carry
American Beauties, even if they weren't the
most fashionable bridal oorsage. She thought
it romantic, and sweet and touching. Why the
very name - American Beauty - told how

Miss ,Aldrich was appalled,, With the innag-
inativeness of people who are much alone,
she had instantly oonjured up likeness of
this unknown Steve. A shy, romantic boy,
she saw him, deeply in love with this beau
tiful girl And here she was, discussing him
lightly with a stranger.

her voice from sounding stiff - that he
can come back. So many young people -"
