him back and knowing that he was I wholly hers for months at a time. She stood at the top of the iron ' stairs for two or three minutes to get I her breath and to screw up her | courage. It was going to take all of her courage to open the door of the office and step into it. To face Miss Saxe and Miss Kelly and Mark Nesbit—the people who knew all about her and who would know now that she had come back to them defeated, asking for a job. The familial sounds of the place came to her ears as she stood there, like music heard long ago when her life was younger and happier. . . . The clicking of typewriters, the sound of Miss Kelly’s voice, the sudden sharp ringing of a telephone. She turned the handle of the door and stepped inside. Everything seemed to be just about as it always had been. Green-shaded lights above golden-oak desks, shiny cork floor, high narrow windows that looked out toward the west. Miss Saxe leaned over her typewriter, her fingers flying, her eyes bent on a shorthand pad beside her. . . Miss Gilday read a book, propped up before her on the switchboard, as she worked. .. A new office boy, who looked enough like Stanley Odeskalki to be his brother, was getting a drink at the water cooler in the corner. Even the water cooler was the same dark blue one that had always stood in that corner. The boy turned away from the cooler and saw her “I'm Mrs. Farrell. 1 have an appointment with Mr. Nesbit," she said to him. stopping beside Miss Saxe's desk to shake hands with her. "I’ll tell Mr. Nesbit that she s here. Leonard." Miss Kelly sang out to the boy, and she said something into the telephone before she got down from her perch to greet Mary Faith. “Well, if it isn't grand to see you I And looking so well, too!” The sweet, slightly nauseating smell of peanut brittle rose to Mary Faith's nostrils as she put her arms around her. ”1 just told Mr. Nesbit that you’re here. He says to step right into his room.” Feeling perfectly calm and collected. Mary Faith walked across the shiny cork floor and opened the door of Mark Nesbit's private office.

I She came in slowly and said. “How | do you do, Mr. Nesbit" in a brisk ' business-like way and sat down beside his desk, like a person preoccu- | pied with grave business. Her whole mind was on that business—the serious business of getting this position he was offering and as much salary as possible along with it. For the moment she forgot that he was the man who had wanted to marry her three years before. “Jean Bartlett says that you’ll consider giving me back my old position here, Mr. Nesbit.’’ Site clasped her hands on the edge of the desk and looked at him anxiously. He smiled at her. “You're not worrying about it, are you?” he asked. “You know you can have it. It’s yours. The only questions we have to settle are about your salary and liow soon you can start to work.” He leaned back in his chair and studied her with his deep attentive eyes. And under his steady gaze Mary Faith began to feel painfully conscious of a mended place in her white imitation chamois gloves and of her last year's hat that turned down in front when all of the new hats turned back from the face. “How would it suit you if I started work next Monday?" she asked, taking her hands from the edge of the big flat-topped desk. “There are some things I have to do this week. You see. I’m breaking up housekeeping and going back to my old boarding house with my baby—and I'll have to find someone who’ll look after him days while I'm here — Would you want to start me off ' at my old salary'" ' “I’d thought of thirty-seven doli lars a week. That's a cut above your old salary, isn’t it? —And next Mon- > day will do." lie got up from his desk. The interview was over. 1 Mary Faith stood up and held out i her hand. "That’s fine, thirty-seven ' a week," she murmured. “I hadn't expected a cent more than what I I used to earn. Thanks very much, ‘ Mr. Nesbit. And good-bye.” f He took her hand but without any » eagerness. He was all business just I as he had been always during the 1 first three or four years she had t worked for him. Well, that was as it should be. ■ (To Be Continued! Copyright. 193!. hy Beatrice Burton Distributed by King Feature* Syndicate. Inc.

Walter Singler, head of the milk pool which is sponsoring the strike, the second in Wisconsin in three months, declared the strike here would continue “until we get what we demand for the farmer.” His demands are based on guarantee of production costs and a minimum price of $1.85 per hundred pounds for milk.

I jCcnry izfeur/yvm, uiCicA/. May 9, 1933 A great thing has occurred amongst us. We have made a complete turn-around, find at last America’s face is toward the future. Three years-—1929 to 1932 we Americans looked backward. All a our old financial and political machinery was geared to pull us out of ■ the depression by the same door through which we entered. We thought it simply a case of going back the way we came. It failed. We now realize that the way out is forward through it. g Thanks for that belongs to President Roosevelt. Inauguration § Day he turned the Ship of State around. Having observed the failure g of sincere efforts to haul us back the way we came, he designed a new method new political and financial machinery to pull us out the way we are going forward. He is clearing international U obstacles out of the way; he does not stand in awe of tariffs. The a people begin to feel that he does not take advice from the "intera ests" ; that he has courage and loyalty to work for one supreme g interest only the welfare of the American people. That is a big 9 achievement for two months in office. H And now we all look to what is coming; we grow less and less 9 concerned with what is behind. We are looking for a hand-hold on H the haul rope. Every man wants to do what he can, and all he can. a The best thing I can do for the Country is to create industry ffi by building good motor cars. If I knew anything better to do, I w would do it. Industry must be my contribution. Motor cars must ES face ahead to the future, like everything else. They are so much a ® part of the Nation’s daily life that if they lag behind they hold gw the Country back. I
Theft of Ex-Husband 9 s Love Charged to Society Dowager ♦ ' * * * * * Mrs. Altemus Eastman, Leader of Exclusive Racing Set, -Accused of Alienating Affections of Mate She Divorced 22 Years Ago. !E Dobson z/ / fjfc i \ ’wLEsraiw Eastman JF j \ .yk Z7 \ ' % A novel situation, created by the filing of suit against Mrs. Bessie Dobson Altemus Eastman for the alleged alienation of the affections of the husband she divorced 22 years ago, has stunned the exclusive society racing set in Philadelphia. The plaintiff, Miss Estelle Maxwell, charges that Mrs. Eastman is following a “dog in the manger*’ course with regard to her former husband, Lemuel Altemus, and has prevented her ex-mate from marrying Miss Maxwell, although plaintiff and Altemus have been engaged for several years. While Mrs. Eastman was branding the charges as absurd and ridiculous, Miss Maxwell’s attorneys were busy going into details of the complaint. Among other things, Miss Maxwell charges that James Altemus, son of Mrs. Eastman, visited his father on Christmas Day, and during an altercation which ensued, beat the elder Altemus so severely that he was removed to a hospital. She further charges that Mrs. Eastman threatened that if Altemus did not break his engagement she would have him confined in a mental sanitarium. And since that time, Miss Maxwell asserts, she has neither heard of, nor seen, her fiance. Mrs. Eastman is the mother-in-law of John Hay Whitney, millionaire turfman, who married her daughter, Mary Elizabeth. She is one of the most prominent leaders of Philadelphia society.
