CHAPTER THREE TVE no time to talk to any one Just now,’’ declared Miss Carolie. “If you want to see me about a position you’ll have to come in the morning.” “Oh," exclaimed Gail. "I'm sorry if I've interrupted you. It was Madame Lizette I really wished to see.” “Madame Lizette? You're a friend of hers?" Miss Carolie rose quickly. “No. I'm a designer. I’m looking for a job, and someone in the showroom told me I'd have to see you, but I didn't know you saw people only in the mornings." “Well, that's our rule, but—” Miss Carolie laughed. “Won t you sit down? You’ve come in at the psychological moment, for I'm just preparing an advertisement for a designer. Before I send it down, perhaps you'll show me some of your work.” “Os course I will.” Quickly Gail untied the portfolio she was carrying and drew out her skftches. “Oh, that's beautiful!” the older woman exclaimed, picking up a watercolor drawing of a youthful evening frock. "What a clever idea that is." She pointed to the unusual line of the decolletage. "Are these all your own designs?” "Why, yes!" a a a THEY'RE very attractive,” Miss j Carolie declared as she laid j them on her crowded desk. "And you say you won the Larne prize?" ! “Yes. I guess I was rather ] lucky, for Miss Cranston has some j very clever students.” “Then you went to Merrywood j Hall in North Carolina?” Miss Carolie looked intently at the girl. What was the idea of one of Miss Cranston's students looking for work? Then she remembered that our ! rpason why Miss Cranston's ex- i elusive finishing school had beer. ! so successful was that she tried t,o : develop any natural talents the girls j might have. Besides in these days j even the richest girl might come to be thankful that she was equipped to make her way in the world. “Yes. I’ve been there for three years.”

1 "I think your work is very good!” was Miss Carolie s verdict. "Then you feel Madame Lizette might be interested in it?” a a a THE door opened and Madame darted in. "Have you got that ad ready, Mees Carolie? The I young man from the paper is here. He is going to see about that writeup I wanted. Quick, let me have it.” “It isn’t ready. Besides, Madame—” “Oh, dear, are you going crazy too? Am I to have no help from you? Tch! So, what is this?” and she pounced on Gail's designs. "Some sketches I’ve been looking at. I don’t believe you need to look any further for a designer. I think you can use this girl. She has some very clever ideas.” "So?” Madame gave Gail an appraising stare, as though not by the flicker of an eyelid could her victim learn what impression her work had made. "Yes,” declared Miss Carolie. “She's just won the Larne prize and she's a graduate of Miss Cranston's school.” nan MADAME shrugged her shoulders. “Oh, zese prize winners! They make me seeck. Tney think they know everything.” She waved her plump white hands. “Let me have that ad.” “But. Madame, why advertise now? You can’t get anything better than these,” and Miss Carolie placed her hand on Gail's sketches. Then, turning to Gail, she said, “I don't believe I got your name." “Gail Everett!” the girl replied. "What's that name?” Madame questioned, while Gail watched a slight tremor pass over the woman's silken-clad shoulders. "Mees E-ver-ett?” "Yes,” repeated Gail, as Madame announced, “Tell that man there is no ad. Give him the information he wants about that- material we have used in Mees Allwynne's trousseau. I will talk to Mees E-verett.” a a a ONCE more Gail joined the throngs on Fiflh-av. Her step was light and a, little song rose in j her heart. She had a job! Tomorrow morning she would join j the crowds of men and women as they hurried to their work in the i towering gray buildings that flanked the gay street, and stretched in dim vistas on both sides of the worldfamous avenue. Os course the salary was nothing to write home about, and Madame had acted rather strangely. She had kept repeating the name, “Everett.” as though it held some special significance for her. Gail had felt rather annoyed at the moment, for she was proud of her New England ancestry, and j the way Madame repeated the name made her feel that it brought to ! mind some distasteful memory. Madame Lizette had also shown

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

she was quite skeptical about Gail's ability, but somehow her disaparaging remarks that were intended to make the girl f*el less than the dust, did not accomplish their end for Miss Carolie’s enthusiastic praise : still echoed in Gail’s ears. ana UNDOUBTEDLY Madame was a temperamental person. Maybe working with her would be hard; but Derek Hargreaves had advised Gail to take anything she could get at first, so that she might get experience. She smiled as she remembered how earnestly he had talked of her chances of getting a job. Luck, he had said, often played a big part in landing one. She'd never thought of that before. If one had ability, and perhaps experience, surely one should easily get a start. Perhaps Derek was right she’d surely had a lucky break when she stepped into Madame Lizette s Yes, that was so, for Madame apparently didn’t think much of her work! Still, if Gail could have stepped into Madame's office an hour later and heard her talking to a friend about the newest addition to her staff she might have had more confidence in her ability and realized that, from Madame's viewpoint, it paid her to belittle the work of her helpers. Slowly Gail sauntered on. looking at the windows, getting new ideas from the models she saw displayed or from some passerby, for always Gail’s eyes were aware of style. It was still early. She did not want to go back yet to her room in the young professional women’s clubhouse. It was a lovely place. Miss Cranston had made all her arrangements for her to stay there. a a a WHAT a lot of people her old teacher seemed to know! Important people, too! But then of course Miss Cranston had founded Merrywood Hall more than 20 years ago. and now many of her earliest students were the wives of leading Americans in business and political circles. How strange it seemed to be walking down the avenue and never seeing a person she knew. Stranger still not to talk to any one! Gail smiled as she thought of her roommate. How Rosemary Searles and

she used to chatter, especially during the last term when Lucille Travers and her set had practically ostracized her. Gail’s eyes grew dark as she thought of Lucille. Ever since Lucil'e had learned that Gail was penniless, she’d had no use for her, had informed her that a school like Miss Cranston's was no place for her. She had even tried to turn Rosemary against her! ana GAIL shrugged her shoulders. She'd be homesick for Merrywood Hall and her old friends if she didn't stop thinking about them. Passing an attractive looking tearoom, she suddenly decided to have some ice cream. She could at least speak to the waitress when she gave her order! She must speak to someone or die of loneliness right on the avenue! The tearoom was crowded, but at last she found a small table for two. A woman of uncertain age was seated at one side, and as Gail ! settled herself and started to read the menu, the woman lit a cigaret. “Hope you don’t mind my smoking,” she said, in rather mannish tones, as Gail raised her eyes from the menu. “Not at all,” said Gail, while she turned to the waitress and gave her order. Suddenly she realized how long it had been since she had eaten. The talking and laughter at the tables around her fascinated Gail. The wave of homesickness passed as she felt herself caught up in the bright atmosphere of the place. New worlds to conquer lay before her. and as her eyes roved from table to table she felt that in this new life to which she had committed herself all sorts of interesting things might happen. ana “ a RE you interested in art?” x\boomed the woman across the table, for Gail had taken a small sketch pad from her handbag and was making a tiny drawing of a clever piece of neckwear she had just observed. Gail smiled her assent. She did not feel particularly attracted to the woman. “Well, if you haven’t already seen the exhibit of modern paintings in the Ferrara Gallery, it might repay you to take a look around. But there, I don’t suppose you’ll take the advice of a woman to whom you naven't been formally introduced.” She rose quickly, and stalked from the tearoom. Gail watched her go, a puzzled

GIRL, 13. THREATENED BY MOB OF CHILDREN Denver Child Stabbed as Youngsters Prepare to Hang Her. By United Preta DENVER. Colo., May 22.—Anna Marie Klantchnek, 13-year-old Gilpin School pupil, was recovering today from a stab wound in the thigh and shock following a harrowing experience yesterday when ICO schoolmates threatened to hang hez The girl’s mother said the trouble started three days ago when Anna was told that she was to be passed from the fifth to the seventh grade and that several other pupils were to be demoted. After school yesterday a large crowd of children gathered and followed Anna toward her home. As they passed an alley, several members of the juvenile mob seized Anna and forced her into the alley, she told police. One of the boys fastened one end of a rope to the top of a garage. During an ensuing struggle Anna was stabbed by an unidentified boy, police said. look in her eyes. Then, lightly, the waitress moved to her side. "Guess you don’t know her. She’s a frightfully rich woman, but terribly queer. She means all right, though. Always gives wonderful tips!” Wondering what strange adventure she might meet next, Gail left the tearoom.
