That’ll show h>m I have fun, too, she thought, as she sealed the letter and stamped it with a bang. That’ll show him! But she didn’t mean it for an invitation. She didn't think he'd ever eome to see her there It never occurred to Linda that Princeton was near, that Glenn might have eome to New York any week-end He was at Puaceton. Constance was tn school in France, and oho didn't expect to see either of them for ages She almost fainted when she opened one of his rare and precious letters and read that he'd be In New York on the following Friday, and hoped to see her. She got out al) the clothes she posvosaod. tried them all on. and wept. Nothing was preaettfable. Not a thing!

FATHER GIVEN TWINS CUSTODY Rochester Farmer Given Custody Os His Twin Children Ito. hosier. Ind .

was. she almost ran to the p st-bos to send it, before she could change her mind. And that night, donning the embroidered peasant blouse, the full skirt with its quaint lace apron, and the stiff silver headdress, she looked at herself in the long greenish mirror, saw that she was charming in it, and that she couid have had Glenn come to Tanya's for dinner, could have worn the costume. He might have liked Gladys and Dora and the buys. They might have sat and talked about plays and books and things, and be might have been impressed with her. He might have liavd it so much he’d come often, and see that he couldn't do without her, and talk to her and tell her... “LINDAI" Gladys’ voice came rocketing up the stairway. "Linda—why are you so SLOW? We need you!" And so Linda wiped away the tears that were starting to fall again, and went down to serve cabbage soup, for some people wanted hot food, no matter how hot it was, and bow much trouble it was, and how muck your heart might be broken. "I SAID lamb chop!” the thin man who had taken the end table complained when she brought him hash and a poa< hed egg. “No, mine was chicken pattic," said the fat lady to whom she tried to pass on the hash. ’’’For heaven's sake, pay attention!" Gladys hissed in her ear. "What's the matter with you? They're new customers. Treat them RIGHT!” “Yes.lwlll—l just—got mixed—" And in spite of herself the tears overflowed again, and she never did find out for whom she ordered the hash. W hat a night! What a summer! What a year! She couldn’t even treat herself to a good cry over Glenn, for she was so busy worrying abrut everything else. Sticky August and September giving way to lovely Indian summer that was spoilt because she hadn't a decent thing to wear. Then another winter. The cold of icy pavements striking through paper soles. Chilblains. Chappea, cracked hands, because she had no decent gloves. A whole year gone. A whole year out of her life! Trying, day after day, for work. Answering ads. (telling at employment agencies. Rushing baek to Tanya's to wait on table, help May with the dishes, run et rands. School again at night -She no longer felt that she couldn't go on. She was being whirled around and around ia a wheel she'd started and couldn't stop, set ambling through a neverending circle, a frightened squirrel in a eage. When at last she got a position •he could hardly believe it. “Monday morning,” the tight-lipped woman who interviewed her said.
