work.
flee before her boss, and the general
atmosphere took on a sparkle of ef
ficiency as she swept through, re
moving covers from typewriter and
adding machine and giving the files
a brisk swish with the feather duster
she kept hidden from view in an
empty file drawer.
Regardless of her mood the Initial
routine that marked the beginning
of another work day was never
broken. These simple things were
done automatically while her mind
went on in its preferred channels,
which, on this particular warm
spring morning, were far from pleas
ant
In spite of Jane Emling’s effici
ency, there were times, like now.
when correspondence especially piled
up and there was nothing else to do
but call in extra help. The neces
sity of assistrnce at times was not
of particular concern to Jane. She
didn't feel that it^ reflected ‘in the
least on her capability. Heavy
months demanded assistance in any
business. But the fact that Bill
Enright, her boss, insisted upon
calling in Sue Cartee every time they
got in a pinch in preference to some
of the other half dozen girls they
had on their “extra” list who were
just as competent as Sue was caus
ing Jane to have mild distemper.
Jane wasn’t altogether blind to
Bill’s reason'tor calling in Sue Car
ter. Sue was as pretty as a picture.
little and dark, and vivacious. The
fact that jshe was a widow, Jane
thought, incited Bill to pursuit. Men,
the queeif creatures, preferred widows
to the avalanche of single girls
around them. And Jane didn’t feel
that she based her conviction on the
fact that she was single," twenty and
no| bad looking with her hair like
honey, grey eyes, a tip-tilted nose
and had been working for Bill En
right going on seven months now
without a glimmer of notice from
him. Too many men married widows
in Carbondaie.
Everybody’d said "when she went
to work there, ’’Watch out that
you don't pass from secretary to
the role of Mrs. Bill Enright."
The door opened -an^ Bill came in.
* Morning,” he greeted.
• ; -W v ■
Jane didn’t look up from her desk.
“ ’Morning,” she returned
— The office was filled with the smell
of good shaving lotion.
After a moment Jane went to his
office door and announced, “We
need someone to help out today."
Bill looked at her and nodded.
“Call ”
“ Spe Cartee,” Jane said for
him and turned to the telephone,
full of disgust.
She had to wait several minutes
before Sue answered her call, and
then her voice sounded sleepy. Prob
ably sleeps until noon, Jane thought,
wondering how she’d be able to
stand Sue through the day. What
ever Bill saw in Sue was beyond her.
Sue certainly wasn’t the type for
BUI.
“I was In the midst of the most
glorious dream!” Sue bubbled, when
she came in, and yawned daintily.
“You were wicked to break into it.”
She rushed right into BUl’s office,
repeating about the glorious dream.
Bill chuckled, and there foUowed
minutes, it seemed to Jane, of low
conversation and laughter — about
the glorious dream, of course. She
couldn’t hear, but she knew. She
made unusual noise with the files to
show them that she wasn’t listening.
It was a miserable day for Jane.
Sue hovered over Bill every minute
she could get aw ? ay from her work,
and at noon Bill took her out to
lunch.
The following day was to be the
big quarterly convention at Wayne
City. Jane wondered if Bill would
take Sue with him as he had the
last time to take "notes.” Then he’d
said, “There really should be some
one In the office . . . . ” As if he
were trying to apologize for not of
fering to take her along!
After Sue left, Bill asked Jane,
“Think you could go along tomor
row, Jane? Sue can’t go. She’s
leaving for Dexter tonight. We can
close the office for one day.”
Jane’s heart thumped up in her
throat, mostly from anger at his
nerve for asking her to pinch-hit . ..
“You could get one of the other
girls,” she said.
“I suppose I could, but I said the
office eould be closed one day," he
said, and be sounded emphatic. “I’ll
come by for you at eight."
He didn’t wait to talk further,
but left the office and Jane stood
in the middle of the Soot, staring
after him with infuriated tears
glinting over the steel of her eyes.
The nerve of him!
When Bill stopped by her house
the next morning, Jane got in by
him in silence. They rode in si
lence several blocks, Until Jane saw
Sue Cartee going along the street
a distance from them. Her pent-up
anger got the better of her.
“I thought you said Sue Cartee
was leaving for Dexter last night,”
she said. "That isn’t her ghost.”
“W—ell, hardly,” Bill chuckled.
He looked around at Jane. "Jane,
for Pete’s sake,” he said then, "quit
chucking Sue Cartee down ^my
throat. That’s all you’ve done for
months. Everytime we need extra
help at the office you don’t give me
a chance to pick out somebody else,
you up and say, ‘Sue Cartee.’ Then
you have her down there around my
neck." j,
“But—well, I thought ”
“That’s what I knew,” Bill Inter
rupted her stammering. “So I made
up the tale about the Dexter trip.
You’ve been so wrapped up about
Sue and me that you’ve .bdeome the
coldest person around the office I
ever saw. Jane—I’d like terribly to
get acquainted.”
His hand reached for hers, and
Jane didn’t pull it away.
"All right. Bill Enright,” she dim-
plecT “We’ll see what we can do
about, it.”

TENNIS AND POLITICS PLAT GOLP . . . Charity, too, makes
strange bedfellows. For example, tennis star Jock Kramer (left) and
Sen. Robert Taft, of Ohio, found themselves chinning away like good
friends when they played the second annual celebrities golf tourna

tourney go to purchase recreational facilities for children.
