"SELF MADE GIRLS

CHAPTER XIX Linda never knew how close she came to losing her job. Mr. Botlinger wes frantic. What AILED the girl? Ho spoke to her sarcastically more then once, end was doubly Irritated to see that it was lost on >mr. She didn't know he'd said anything at all. She'd been so sensible, so sane! Such a model of a secretary. Well, if she was going to act like this, he'd have to get rid of her. But by the time he hed hardened his heart enough to speak of it.lhe was herself again. Quiet, quick, efficient. Only her peleness, end new, dark circles under her blue eyes, to show that he hadn't imagined the days of semi-madness. For Linda it was over too soon. Three perfect days. But in the end nothing to worm her heert except the promise that he’d be baek in town at the close of the college year. To the last moment she waited, she dreamed, she hoped and ahe prayed for a sign—a word—even the definite assurance that he'd miss her. "Well, it was a lot of fun. Linda, we ll be doing it again socai." That we* all he ka-d in the end N*> promise. No whispered word. Not even the assurance that he'd write oftener now. Time limped by. If he could be casual, so could she. She'd show him. Feverishly shs threw herself into her work. Mr. Botuager beamed. Perhaps he'd wronged her. Perhaps i •be was ill a while back, when he thought she was Just flighty. Anyway, she was surpassing herself BOW. He saw to it that she got a >lO raise, which was to be a secret, but somehow the new* gut out, and some of the girls weren't very pleasant about It. Linda didn't care. It was only a means to an end, that Job of hers, and if It meant a little unpleasantness she cewld take ft It wss herself. her looks, her prospects, her future that shs cared about. And the extra ten dollars HELPED! The girls she met at the club weren't very cordial to her at this time, either.

man. What does it GET you? Now look at me. 1 used to be a secretary —and a darn good one. You may not think 1 run thia tea room very well, and maybe 1 don't. But I know that this is the way to have fun while living. If 1 could have a chain of tea-rooms and make a lot of money, I wouldn't want to. Thia is FUN—the other way would be ju«t work. . . . ARE you having fun. Linda?” King put down his everlasting book to listen. Paul pulled up hie chair. “Well, l‘m getting where 1 want to get." “You’re getting to look like *a young executive,* or a serious minded young society gal or something. But what's that going to do for you? You’re just gathering a lot of bills, and wasting a lot of time sitting under hair-driers." Linda laughed. **lt'a what I want!" Gladys and King laughed, too “You're crazy, but 1 forgive you,” Gladys said. Nola said, “Are you going to earn your dinner tonight? Or must 1 put on the uniform and g> t to work?" “11l put it on.” Linda said. “I'd like to.” They ate together, after the pay customers had gone. There was a new maid in the kitchen, and she made French pancakes tor them Gladys made an orange sauce and King got out the brandy to burn. It was a very special, very gay occasion. Linda had a grand time. They sat around the Are, for it was a rainy, cold April, and talk'd until long after midnight. Linda found herself telling for the Arst time about Glenn. Not telling much, but hinting a lot. Giving them to understand that it was serious. “Os course I have my life all planned, and in away he juet complicates it.,.. And yet.. ." She didn't say that she was trying to make up her mind whether to ehooee a career, or a rich man’s son, but that was the idea she put over. They all loved an argument ana a personal one was best of all “After all. that’s a woman's future—marriage,” Pau! said “Bourjois I” Txiia and Gladys shouted together. “If a girl has a swell job, and enough money fur independence she doesn’t have to marry—" “But what about love? A woman ean't live without—" “But every woman wants security stability—a borne—" “Shut up, Paul. You're all wet. If a girl has—*’ "! fail you any girl will give up any career, for love. Love—“ Linda listened, her eyes glowing. She. herself didn't have much Io say She didn’t have to talk. She’d started it It was all about her. She loved it. She sat, still in the Russian peasant dress, the silver headdress gilt {•ring on her head, the gay apron bright in the Are! ght She was having a wonderful time. She thought, I was wrong to stay ’ Jbey're my friends, they understand me....
