SYNOPSIS Joyce Daring is bewildered by the crumbling up of her home just as she reaches the age of 18 and needs it most. Her parents, John and Agnes Daring, decided to separate. Her three suitors, David Tompkins, the childhood friend; Henry Deacon, the school acquaintance, and “Butch” Seltzer, the adoring roughneck, ail propose marriage to her as a way out. She chooses to go on her own and see what the world offers her. CHAPTER VI Classified A sharp-faced looking lonian opened the door in answer to Joy’s knock. “What is it?” she asked suspiciously. Joyce felt guilty, though she could not fiave told why. “I want to ask you about rooms,” she said. “I saw your sign from the street car.” The woman opened the door a trifle wider. dollars a week, single,” she said. Then she let Joyce into the house, adding, “All rents paid in advance.” To Joyce this seemed a huge sum. They paid only thirty-five dollars a month for their whole flat on Seven-ty-Eighth St. But not knowing how to make her escape to the safety and economy of a Y. W. C. A. room she followed Mrs. Jenkins hall. The house had once been a show place. TBe rooms were large, the ceilings high, and over everything there was an air of decay. Up the long stairway Joyce followed the landlady. Turning to the right, they entered a large bright front room. It was poorly furnished but an air of respectability hung over it. . “You can have this room at fifteen a week in advance, with the bath right next door,” said Mrs. Jenkins who did not seem to care whether she rented it or not. Indeed she regarded roomers as her natural enemies even though she made her living from them. “That seems like more money than I really want to pay,” Joyce said timidly. “You got a job?” asked Mrs. Jenkins. “Not yet,” said Joyce. “But I have enough money to pay my rent for a while and I expect to get work right away.” “There’s a young lady I got over here in 21 that’s looking for a roommate,” said Mrs. Jenkins. “She’s a nice girl, works in a hotel downtown, the Statler. I can put you two single beds in there and let you have half of her room from ten dollars a week. She’s been paying fifteen too and would like a cut.” “I’ll look at it,” said Joyce, divided between distance for sharing her room, and a hunger for company. Mrs. Jenkins opened the door of a bedroom across the hall. Joyce sa\f a room as large as the first one she had looked at, but with an air of comfort. There was some pictures on the wall, some bright pillows on the bed, some books and magazines on the table. “Os course she might not like you,” said Mrs. Jenkins. “But you look like a good girl, too. Why •don’t you wait a bit? She’ll be back soon. Saturdays she doesn’t go to work until 3 o’clock and .works until midnight. What’s your name?” “Joyce Daring. I’d like to wait and see this other girl. Do you let us get our meals here if we want to?” Joyce thought of food for the first time that day. She had eaten nothing at all since rising at 11. “You can get your breakfast in the kitchen if you want to, and I don’t mind your eating crackers and milk up here, but I don’t allow any cooking in Your rooms, and you’ll have to entertain your gentlemen friends downstairs in the parlor. I don’t allow no young men in the girl’s rooms.” She spoke acidly and looked keenly at Joyce again. The girl put her traveling bag dbwn and said, “If you don’t mind ,I’ll leave this here and go out for some lunch. I’ll be back in a little bit and perhaps this girl will be here. What is her name, please?” “Miss Gladys Warner. She’s been with me over a year now and we’ve never had a word. Pays her rent promptly, keeps her room picked up nice, and neveh tries to get around no rules of the house,” Mrs. Jenkins shoved Joy’s bag aside and turned to lead the way to the front door. Joyce went down the steps and across the street to a drug store where she ordered a malted milk. While it was making, she bought a paper and turned to the “Help Wanted” column. “Accountants, bookkeepers, cooks, housemaids, stenographers, typists,” and after each demanded that fatal word “experienced.” There seemed no place where one could get the coveted xperience ither. Canvassers and house-to-house saleswomen were in demand without experience, but this Joyce felt she could not do. At last her glace

came back to an ad she had read hastily and passed on. Girls High School Graduates Attention Pleasant work for ambitious girls. Rapid advancement. Good working conditions. Pay while learning. Apply superintendent’s voice, Bell Telephone Company. This might be worth investigating. She marked the ad with a pencil she carried in her purse, finished her malted milk and went back to Mrs. Jenkins. ' s “Gladys has just come in,” said the landlady. “I told her about you, Go right up, she’s waiting to Bee you.” Joyce knqcked on the door of room twenty-one, her heart pounding. "Come in,” said a gentle voice. Joyce opened the door to see standing in front of the mirror, one of the prettiest and yet saddest looking girls she had ever met. “You are Miss Daring, aren’t you?” said Gladys extending her hand and coming to meet Joyce at the door. “Mrs. Jenkins told me you might like to share this room with me. Won’t you sit down?” Joyce sat down, hardly knowing what to say. “I hadn’t thought of having a room with anybody,” she began embarassed. “But Mrs. Jenkins thought we might get along all right together, so I came A) ack to see you.” Gladys smiled kindly. “I see,” she said. “You’re very young, aren’t you? Where is your home?” As she talked, Gladys opened various boxes of makeup and began to transform her sad face into the conventional pink and white of the flapper type. But her eye's remained tired and weary and wise, despite the cupid’s bow mouth, the carefully outlined eyebrow's, the correctly rouged cheeks. “I really live here in Cleveland,” said Joyce trying to pick up her words. “I’m going to try to get along by myself for a while, though I honestly don’t know exactly what I can do.” v Gladys nodded and asked no more questions. “Suppose we try it for a week anyway,” she said. “Then if we don’t like it, we can change around. I check hats in the Statler dining room and I have to look like this to keep my job.” She pointed to„ her attractive made-up face. “The funny thing, though, is that by turning down the men that ask me to go out I stand in strong with the manager. I always walk down on nice days. It only takes half an hour. Come along and we’ll talk about a job for you as we go. I’ve been on my own for years now and what I don’t know about this town, isn’t worth knowing.” She pulled her hat at just the right angle over her eyebrows, adjusted a* light summer fur over her shoulders, and made ready to leave. Joyce took a peek into the mirror. She could not believe that the happy interested looking face she saw was her own. Why didn’t she look sad and interesting as Gladys did? Surely she had had enough trouble in the last few days to take some of the bloom off her cheeks. Gladys seemed to understand. “It’ll take more trouble than just running away from home, kid, to

change your pretty face,” she said, patting Joy’s shoulder. Joyce could find no answer to this, so followed Gladys silently from the room. Swinging down Euclid Ave. with this girl who had bucked the world for six years, Joyce felt an excitement, a sense of adventure stealing over her. “Now about this job,” said Gladys. “What can you do?” “There isn’t anything I really have been trained to do,” said Joyce honestly. “ I looked in the paper and everybody wanted experienced help, too. The only thing I saw I thought might -was an ad for girls to learn telephone work.” “That’s not bad aftgr you get, it learned,” said Gladys, “but they don’t pay enough at first to buy any ham and eggs.” “I’ve got enough money to live on for a while,” said Joy. “How much?” asked Gladys practically. 1 “Two hundred dollars,” answered Joyce. Gladys whistled. “Somebody stake you to a nest egg? Not that it’s any of my business. But if you’ve got it with you, you’d better put most of it in a bank. I don’t want to sleep next to any S2OO tonight.” dollars tonight.” * “I guess I’d better,” said Joyce, remembering the cautioning words of the teller when she had drawn out her savings a few hours before and his kindly questions as to what she was going to do with it. “But you think this telephone work might be all right for a start?” “Sure,” said Gladys. “If you’ve got that much cash you can afford to look at several things. Try this, anyway.” - “Do you suppose they’re open this afternoon?” asked Joyce eager to begin her wage earning adventures. - “Only one way to find out is to go up an see,” said Gladys. “Give it a whirl, anyway.” They parted at the corner of Twelfth and Euclid and Gladys turned in to the Statler. Joy went on down the avenue and up to he office of the Bell Telephone Company. There were several girls waiting on the bench outside the superintendent’s private office. All held papers opened to the want ad page qf the paper. - Several of them were talking together. All of them looked appraisingly at Joyce as she entered.

“Yeah,” one of them was saying. “I been working as a typist for a year now. But the last boss I had got fresh, and the one before that had a jealous wife, though why she was afraid of my vamping her ugly mug of a husband I never could see. But I got to get something to do quick and typist jobs is scarce even for experienced girls. So I thought I'd try it in here awhile.” “They say it’s real nice after you learn the board,” volunteered another girl. "I got a friend out at the Garfield exchange. She’s been there three years now and she’s going to be a supervisor soon.” The door opened and a neatly dressed girl smiled at the waiting, applicants and said, “Next gir!, place.” To Joyce the waiting seemed long, but at last her turn came. She was the last one to enter. She found a pleasant-faced, matronly woman with application blanks laid before her on the desk.' “Fill in your name and address here,” she said smiling kindly at Joyce). Taking the preliminary blank, she began asking questions. Had Miss Dating, that was right, wasn’t it, finished high school? In the present class at East? But the graduation exercises were not until next week. “I wanted to go to work right away,” said Joyce, trying to control the tremor in her voice. “I see,” said Mrs. Fisher. “I am entering a class of girls Monday and expect to enter another in two weeks made up of girls who have just finished high school. Wouldn’t you rather wait and be considered then?” “Oh, no,” said Joyce. “If you would let me come in next Monday I’d much rather. I think they will give me my credits and count me a graduate even if I don’t attend the commencement exercises.” “You have some reason for not waiting two week?” inquired Mrs. Fisher. “Are you living at home?” She glanced at the address Joyce had given her. “No,” Joyce hesitated. Mrs. Fisher’s kind face invited confidence. “You see, my father and mother are going to,~going to separate right away and I want to begin work right away if I can.” “You realize that the pay is small at first?” asked Mrs. Fisher. Joyce nodded. “Yes, but I have a little money, enough to keep me living until I am earning more. Please take me in this class, Mrs. Fisher. I know I will like it and that I can do the work.” to look up your credits, you know,” warned Mrs. Fisher. “Suppose you fill out this complete blank, giving me at least one reference I can reach by telephone.” Joyce took the proffered blank, name, age, name of father, name of mother, previous employment if any, religion, education, references not related to applicant. Before this last she hesitated. Then she wrote down one of her teachers who would speak a good word for her she was sure. But wouldn’t they want her to wait un-

til the last week of her school was over? They might make all kinds of difficulties. After a moment she write slowly, “Mr. Henry Deacon.” She looked up his address in a directory on the desk and added it. Mrs. Fisher looked over the blank, then at Joy’s eager face. . “Come in Monday morning at 9,” she said. “I’ll look up these leferences then and if everything Is satisfactory, you can start with the Monday class. I hope you will like the work, Miss Daring. Good-by.” And Joyce found herself In the hall, sure of at least a chance at a Job, a place to sleep for the night, Independence just around the corner. She walked home to Mrs. Jenkins more slowly than was usual for her. It was hard to realize the events of the past few days. Her home gone, Davey’s proposal, Dekc’s offer of money coming so close on the beginning of their friendship, even Butch’s offer assumed some importance as she thought back over the morning. But over and above all these events was her sense of trying her wings. The world was before her. She was her own mistress. She found her feet keeping time to a little tune as she went along. “I want to be happy—and I will be,” she said aloud half defiantly. Back at Mrs. Jenkins, she unpacked her bag, determined to wait until Gladys’ return before going to bed. Worn out with the crowded day she lay down for a moment on the single bed Mrs. Jenkins had sqt up for her. In a moment she was sound asleep. Hours later, it seemed to her, an urgent hand was on her shoulder, shaking her, trying to wake her up. And what was this acid voice saying? “Wake up, wake up. There’s an old man and a policeman downstairs wants to sen you!” TOMBROW: The indifference of youth; A runaway girl from a home broken up by a separation can sing herself to sleep file first, night away to the tune of “I want to be happy,” while her distracted father hunts her hiding place with a policeman.
