CHAPTER 30 'When Nancy left the store after her first day’s work she was limping. “Feet hurt ’* Inquired Sue sympathetically. “DO THEY HURT?" “It’s no wonder if you’ve been wearing those spike heels. Haven’t you any sensible shoes?” “Some old ones that look like the devil” “Well, they won’t show behind the counter. Keep them in your locker and wear them while you’re at work. At least until you get used to standing.” Nancy was positive at that moment that she would never “get used to standing.” Never so long as she lived. . . . But she tried to smile her gratitude for the suggestion. “Do you mind if I go on home? I'm too tired to eat.” "But, my dear, I know you’re hungry. . . .” An hour later Nancy sat with her feet in a steaming tub sipping hot soup. “Woman, this surely is good. You’re awfully sweet to me, Sue.” “I’ve b6en through it, old thing.” Nancy thought the quiet of that small chilly room was more soothing than any music. In bed she snuggled underneath the thin blankets and fell into a long, healing sleep. Undisturbed by thoughts of her lover or any other man. For the first time in her life she received the reward of a repose well-earned. The priceless boon of labor. Next day she was greeted pleasantly by both buyer and girls. She found herself becoming interested in her sales, in her surrounding, in mob pychology. If two customers were looking at the same article both would want it or one would say, “I don’t believe I care for it,” and both would walk away. She discovered that her own mood and opinion unconsciously swayed

the patron’s judgment. Some women wouldn’t buy anything if they were told it was a bargain. Others would purchase without discrimination anything which had been “marked down.” To know which type one was dealing with and to present the correct attitude was fascinating. And after the first week the days flew. One like another. Only varied by her own reactions. But never monotonous! Never dull! The proudest moment of her life was when she received a little sealed envelope, marked Nancy Gage—No. 90. She who had thought it would hurt her pride to “work.”

One noon she went into that other department store and looked on every floor for the little cash girl who had given her a half dollar. But in the distress of the moment she had forgotten to ask her name and she was unable to find her. she paid her share of the week’s epenses to Sue with an elation which those who have never earned money cannot hope to understnad. She, Nancy Gage, was at last worth something—no matter how small — to a cold, unfeeling world. It was stimulating. It was a spiritual tonic. When a letter from Jerry was forwarded from her old address she opened It without excitement. “Don’t be silly, Nancy. Think it over and you’ll see that I was justified. But in any case I am still anxious to help you. Call me, won’t you?” “I did talk and act like a fool,” she told herself honestly. Perhaps Jerry had some reason for misjudging her, but it was over so far as she was concerned. She tore the letter into pieces and, healthily and promptly, forgot Jerry Hall. But Eric Nelson was another matter. It seemed she was not to be allowed to forget him. One night after the girls had returned to their room Nancy was called to the telephone. She had not written to Edith since she had gone to work, so she was surprised to hear her voice, saying, listlessly, “I’ve tried to get you all day, Nancy. Where’ve you been?” “Working!” “Sounds like a joke.” “Well, it isn’t. Far from it. What are you doing in San Francisco?” “Came up to do some shopping, dear. I’m at the Whitcomb. Can’t you come over?” Tired as she was Nancy could n<st resist the opportunity of hearing some home-town gossip. Or was it news of Eric she craved? One would never beguilty of dragging him into the conversation. But ifEdith insisted on discussing him as she usually did .... She ran

for her hat and coat, explaining to Sue that Edith had telephoned. “Give her my love—NOT,” Sue cried spiritedly. “She makes me tired with her silly, affected airs. ’ “That’s the first unkind remark I’ve ever heard you say.” “It won’t be the last,” Sue retorted smartly, ‘if the subject for discussion happens to be Edith Harcourt.” Knowing how sincere Sue’s admiration had always been for herself, Nancy marveled. The last weeks had brought an appreciation of this other girl’s devotion which left her humbled and ashamed. It was so spontaneous and so utterly undeserved. When Nancy entered the Whitcomb lobby she was surprised to find Edith with a strange young man. A thin, carelessly dressed individual, whose gentle courtesy reminded her of-the boys she had met in Virginia. It was like an invisible garment. Felt but not seen. And Nancy liked him instantly. “Mr. Adams’ sister visited Sybil this summer,” Edith explained. So it was HIS sister who had asked Eric Nelson to call! Had he accepted the invitation to meet her brother? It was soon apparent that the stranger’s coming had changed Edith’s plans. “My sister is out of town,” he said to Nancy. “She asked me to look Miss Harcourt up while she was here. Perhaps both of you will go with me to the theater. I’ll see if I can get decent seats.” The moment he left Edith whispered, ‘lsn’t he a peach? All kinds of money, Nancy, and no father or mother. They live with an aunt. Chloris is a little devil on wheels “What about her romance with Eric?” Nancy inquired cautiously. But before Edith could reply Richard Adams was back. “All set,” he smiled. “We’ll have to hurry or we’ll miss the first act.” Nancy was not keen about occupying the third seat at this theater party. Knowing Edith’s thirst for masculine attention she expected to feel uncomfortable and decidedly “de trop.” But Richard Insisted on drawing Nancy Into the conversation. “How long have you been In San Francisco, Miss Gage?”

Before she could reply Eidth had said, “Nancy came up to study music.” “I’m not studying music any more,” Nancy interrupted, “I’m working in a department store.” Edith’s gasp of astonishment amused her. But suddenly she had wished to make .her occupation clear to both of them. It was part of her emancipation from the old ideas to be now exactly what she seemed. If his Interest could not survive the shock it was just as well . . . But Richard was leaning forward, asking eager questions. Wasn’t it fascinating? There was quite an opening for girls now in
