Tomorrow is a Lovely Word

the privilege" she announced. Just
say the word"
Andrea said, What are you get
ting at, Beth? You and l not live
together? Why, we we're pork
and beans, April and showers,
Christmas and New Years. We've
always been together!"

direct glance at her, but you'll be

And then the bell rang and It
was a friend of Andreas who had
come in to play bridge. So Beth
! didn't have to answer any more
questions. for which she was great
| ly relieved.
She had II all planned. Just the
way she would do 1t. First there
would be the news-probably by
telegram the commission told her
in the post office-and then she'd
show it to Andrea and tell her how
she wanted to do something useful
and Andrea would be sure to see it
that way. and then she'd remind
Andrea that Peg wanted to come
and live with her. and say that they
could always see each other.
And that way she would get
away and Andrea would never
know that 1t was just because she
didn't want to see Jim. Maybe later
when they were married-and she
sometimes thought Of what the
judge had said to her on his
deathbed about other men in other
places-she wouldn't ache over Jim
any more.
So the first week went by, and
then the second, and Beth began to
jump toward the telephone when it
rang, and to be awake an hour be-
fore the postman made his first
call, but there was no news, and
she knew she'd have to start look
ing for another Job.
Sometimes she wondered what
would happen IL she took her
money and went TO Boston or New
York and tried to live on It until
she got a job. But she wouldn't
think Of that until she heard from
Washington.
In June the poster in the post
Office Knocked her when she went in
to the Civil Service commission to
see Why there had been no news.
First you get your rating, Miss
kinnan." the clerk told her. "And
then when there's a job they send
for you"
But thought they needed girls.

Have TO wait your turn. Things
are moving fast some ways and
slow in others down there. Know a
congressman"
DtLh SOU Sllt uiull ana was told
to sit tight, eventually she'd be sent
for.
Eventually wouldn't be time
enough. Beth began her rounds Of
employment Offices, Of department
stores, everywhere except to the
Archer Mills, and what kept her
from that, she couldn't have told
you.
