Her Pride in Her t Pocket By CLARISSA MACKIE Iftf.* u',"- : (Copy ' Uhl ) Alice ai.rxnoK »i««iy 1 the cmupu* toward Hurry Irill, where ehe hud lived during I• r ''<>l lege life. Barry hnll war oevupled by glrtu who came front well-to-do I'.iinl lies. Allee bml belonged to this srl for the three years of Iter stay at JAtrlutul. mid now al the close ol her Junior year she wu« confronted with n dreadful problem. The last year had been u bitter one for the Glyntlons. Allee’s father had lost ever.,thing except the tine old home. anti win straining to rebuild his fallen fortune*; Sum, the only son. was rail antly currying on the expenses of the Glyndon home, and .Mrs. Glyndon had Just written to her daughter wlmt Alice’s shure of the burden would be. “. . . And If you return to Holland in September you will have* to provide the funds out of your own earnings. It hurts me to write this, dear, but I. know you will not mid nnother straw to the burden your father Is carrying. 1 remember when we were at Mountain ( rest one ycat there were u number of charming col- , lege girls, ami boys, too, waiting on the tables . . . you will have to put your pride in your pocket, little girl, and 1 am sure the Glyndons will lie proud of you If you win your own way through. . . .’’ “Wait on table during vacation!” The preposterous thought took possession of Allee and Hinde her wretched during those hist days of her junior year. Hack of the Glyndon pride was another reason why she* shrank from working durtng the summer vacation • the reason was Bruce Marder., who she felt sure would not approve <>f it. Bruce was at Yale and working for bls degree next y ear. She had imped that he would spend a part of his vacation at some resort where the Glyndons would be —ami —Bruce was growing to till u great deal ol Allee s thoughts these days. They corresponded and siie felt sure that Bruce —some day—then she blushed hotly and hurried Into Hany h: 1 11. What would Bruce think of her working in a hotel dining room? She never confided In him this lasi problem and finally she stopped writing. This was her last sacrifice to the Glyndon pride. She never even opened the last letters that came from Idm—she put them away in her trunk. Then one June day she went to the vocational bureau—and the first of July she became one of twenty-live college girls who were employed in the* Glacier hotel. July slipped a.w:iy. and with August came the opening of Uie new annex, where the dining room was to have a corps of college siu-dent-walters. “They are to be men. my dear." said Hetty Smith, who occupied a liny room with Alice. ”1 know one of them. Jimmie Tane. I am hoping to see a little bit of fun now and then." That was tire day Allee Glyndon put her pride in her pocket and button a! it tightly. Because she knew wlmt perfect service mennt, she was able to render It, and when she received her first pay envelope she cried with the Joy of working. Then, one glorious evening in August, when she sat on the shore of the lake, enjoying the cool breeze I!.at made her white wool skirt and orange sweater .acceptable, she heard Bruce s voice—lie was asking a question and some one was directing him; she wondered wlmt a guest of the hotel was doing in this section, which was reserved for the employees. When she saw him, bareheaded, big and brown In his white flannels, walking to the water's edge, she could lime reacl ed out her hand and touched him. Then he deliberately turned and saw her. Suddenly Joy came Into her heart ns their eyes met and his dark eyes were glad. "Alice!’’ he exclaimed. She smiled up at him. “I am glad to see you, Bruce." "May I sit here beside you?” She flushed a little as she moved along the rock. “1 must tell you th.r guests are not supposed to come here —ft Is reserved for hotel employees.” “So I understood." he said quietly, as he sat down. “I wonder why ycrtl are here, instead of dancing on the veranda.” "I am working here," and she told him about the Glyndon pride in her pocket. "Is that why you stopped writing to pie?" "Yes.” “I atn working here myself—waiting on table in the annex—some waiter. I am, too!” He Juggled ml Imaginary tray. They both laughed. "I wonder why you are here," she said after awhiie. “The Marden.i always earn their own way through college,” lie boasted. “Dad takes the money we save him and helps some chap who really needs a lift —you would .be surprised to see the good the money can do." “Will you take me out on the lake, Bruce?" she asked after uwbile. And on the lake, in the moonlights with the wind singing in the thick pines that clothed the shore, they planned a wonderful future. Alice refused to allow him to purchase an en jngement ring, but did accept a lover’s knot of go'd that he wore on a little linger. “When you can afford It—paid for out of money you. have earned—you may buy me another,” she promised. “That is a new pride Hint has replaced the foolish Glyndon pride!"
