RMMMimHMMMIMMMi’t Anne’s Christmas Bonus Was for One Good Idea M -sen 58S 530 SO SO SOSO 530 SO SO XS CHRISTMAS bonuses were al- ■ ways given in accordance to | the value of suggestions written out and finally accepted at the offices of John Stone and company, and Lee Anne disgustedly. why she had thought of such suggestions after other girls had already thought them up or why she couldn't think up something un--1 usual enough to earn her special attention with the firm. There were only five more days until the yearly list of bonus recipients would be announced. That evening, back in her own room, seated at her desk, she sat staring at the wall. She fidgeted with her pencil, almost praying for , inspiration—what could she suggest ' to be done iu the office or in the I business that would increase either efficiency or business? Her eyes were staring straight into a huge i pot of four-leaf clovers that she had brought back from the country when she had visited her parents on the farm during last vacation. “The Four Leaf Clover Line”— why—why not? She jutted down the idea as it all came tumbling i through her mind—in the manufac- < taring end of the business, create ! a breakfast nook or kitchen line all with four leaf clover motif, giving a cook book with its cover simply plastered with actual four leaf clovers, shellacked—a line especially to I attract the newly wed trade. "Why, I could furnish the four leaf clovers for the first few books and maybe , Mr. Stone would put a four leaf clov- , er under the seal of that new style ’ wedding certificate he gives free to each bridal pair of customers—who knows!" Lucky for Stone and company but just as lucky for Lee Anne, for as the Christmas day bonus for her suggestion was handed to her, she also received the first such contract ever known—for all the four-leaf clovers ( she could grow within the next year. —Luella B.
