“W ell, my first day at th e office 18
over, and I can honestly sny th a t I en
joyed It.” N an announced to th e a n x
iously inquiring tw o who tu rn e d to
welcome h er a t th e sound of h er key
in the lock. She tossed off h e r sm a rt
black sailo r h at and s a t down on a
hassock by h er m other. “1 feel so im
p o rtan t, and although I d o n 't know
much yet, 1 know th a t I will learn. I
am giving my en tire tim e and th o u g h t
to It. I have no silly sen tim en tal Ideas
about my boss falling in love w ith me.
F o rtu n ately , lie is bald, fa t an d forty,
and his w ife rings up every tw o or
th ree hours to tell him som ething
about the kids or to rem ind him to go
by tlie b a k er’s fo r bread. Why don't
women a tte n d to th e ir own business
as men do?”
" P s h a w !”
sighed
fifteen-year-old
R uth. "I hoped th a t th e re would be
a young man In th e office, good-looking
and rich, and th n t he would come
aro u n d on S undays and ta k e us all
out riding to the country."
Nan looked up a t h e r an d w inked.
"P e rh a p s I can find th a t ngreeable
so rt of boss n ex t tim e I look for
w ork.” T hen to h e r m o th e r: “1 am
glad th a t things a re Just a s th ey are.
Personally I d o n 't believe In m ixing
business and p leasu re and In d raw ing
a weekly pay envelope fo r tim e spent
in try in g to get a husband. Do you,
m uddle, d e a r? ”
“W hen the right man comes along
you'll know it, Nan, w h e th e r you a re
a t a dance or buying chops a t a b u tch
e r's, I believe th n t th ere Is n fa te
guarding th ese Issues of life. P e rh ap s
it sounds foolish for an old woman
like m e to say such things, but It Is
o ne of my pet theories, grounded in In
num erable cases o f fa c t th a t 1 have
observed.”
"I don’t ngree w ith you, m other,”
snid the sop h isticated fifteen-year-old.
"W hen 1 grow up I am going to pick
out the best-looking, rich est man in
tow n and set abo u t m aking him full
in love w ith me. G ettin g m arried is
ev ery w om an’s first business in life.
Why, alread y 1 am encouraging Billy
M cM ahan. H is fn th e r ow ns a plum b
ing place, I kuow, but lie Is m aking
m oney so fa s t th a t in tw o o r th re e
y e a rs from now th e daily p a p e rs will
q u o te him about everything, calling
him colonel o r general o r som ething.
Blood don’t count any m ore. Why,
nobody hut the ten-year census man
ev er ask s about yo u r g ran d m o th er.”
“Oh, w isdom in sh o rt s k ir ts ! ”
gasped N an. “I t’s h a rd to sny such
tilings to m other, H uthie. You know
it shocks her.”
“You m ight Just as well kno\^ how
I feel about such things. O f course,
I expect to go to work Ju st ns soon
ns I leave high school and help ch eer
fully so th a t you will have m ost of
your sa lary to spend on y ourself. Nan.
M other lias h er little Income and may-
lie by th a t tim e prices will ta k e a
tum ble and we can m anage b e tte r th a n
w e do now.”
Mrs. T ay lo r laughed a b it shakily.
T hen -die drew a le tte r from h e r dress
pocket. “I have som e astonishing
new s, girlies. N an, you can resign
tom orrow .”
“R e s ig n ! W hy?”
“Y our fa th e r bought som e m ining
stock m any y ears ago and we ju s t con
sidered tlie money Inst, but today
w hile you w ere a t th e office and R u th
w as a t school a stra n g e law yer called
and told me th a t—tliu t we a re to
have th ree hundred d o llars a m onth
from the investm ent. I w anted to ring
both of you and tell you to run rig h t
home, but I saved th e new s fo r a
happy su rp rise tonight.”

R uth threw h er books on th e floor
and began a so rt of Indian w a r dnnce,
c h an tin g w eirdly a s she circled th e
two. N an s a t th e re a s If she had
been tu rn ed Into stone.
“A ren 't you glad, N an, d e a r? ” ask ed
h er m other, bending over to touch her.
“I ’m ju s t Stnggered, stunned, b u t I
am not going to give up my position.”
“Why, child, we can live b e a u tifu l
ly on w hat I have and th a t th re e h u n
dred and send R u th to college, too.”
“I know ,” said Nan, seriously. “I t
nearly killed me to even think o f go
ing into a m an's office to ea rn my own
livelihood. All those m onths th a t I
studied a t business college w ere like a
n ig h tm are to me, b u t I conquered th e
feeling and now I w on’t give It up. I
feel capable. I like g ettin g up and
going out every day. I like th e hum
of t h t office, people coming and going,
all of it. I t fa sc in a te s m e.”
“I ’ll b et th e re Is a man In th a t of
fice th a t you like,” exploded R uth
suddenly.
“Nobody but Mr. H enderson, and he
d oesn't look as if he had ev e r been
young enough to th in k of rom ance,”
explained N an haughtily.
“I th o u g h t you snid th e firm w as
H enderson & H enderson, d a u g h te r!”
"It Is. H e h as a b ro th er o r a nephew
or som ebody who does all of th e out-
of-town business. I h av en 't even seen
him .”
T he telephone bell tinkled, then
ran g vigorously, insisten tly .
" I t’s a m an and he w a n ts you,"
tersely announced R uth, who alw ays
rushed to an sw er calls.
In a few m inutes Nan tu rn ed a w ay
fro n t th e telephone. “I t’s Mr. H ender
son’s nephew . He h as Ju st come In
from the E ast. H e w an ts to explain
some le tte rs to me, correctio n s to be
made. I guess I m ust have bungled
them , m uddle, when I th o u g h t th a t 1
w as doing so well. H is voice w as as
cu rt as It could be. M aybe I had b et
te r resign, a fte r a l l !”
“ Look him over first 1” adm onished
th e wily R uth. “I th o u g h t his voice
w as p erfectly delicious. W hen Is he
com ing? L e t’s have su p p er over, then
you slip on th a t d ark blue georgette.
You look lik e a million d o llars ir
th a t.”
“R uthle, d o n 't be so s la n g y !’’ said
th e m o th er p atien tly .
“Silly c h ild !” laughed N an, picking
up h e r hut and sta rtin g to w ard h er
bedroom . I told you I did not expect
to mix bu sin ess and p leasu re. Do you
thin k I would ev er fu ss up fo r my em
ployer? W hy, they pay me to w rite
th e ir le tte rs, not to d re ss up like a
ch o ru s girl. I m ust have m ade some
aw ful blunders. He said th a t th e let
te rs could not be m ailed a s they were.
OH) d ea r, and I w as feeling so efficient,
to o !”
“J u s t resign a t once, d e a r! T h a t
will be b e st,” Insisted h e r m other
com fortingly.
At eight o'clock sh a rp th e buzzer
sounded In th e tiny hall. On h er way
to a n sw e r N an Instinctively p u t her
hand to h e r shining brow n h a ir and
sm oothed It.
Mrs. T a y lo r and R uth s a t w aiting
p a tie n tly fo r N a n ’s em ployer to leave.
P re se n tly they h e ard lau g h ter, a m an 's
ringing voice an d N an ’s little chuckle.
She n ev er laughed th a t w ay except
when she w as happy.
“H e sounds young and good-looking,
too, doesn’t he, m o th er?" dem anded
R uth, liste n in g a tte n tiv e ly . “T hey
don’t sound bu sin esslik e to me, either,
talk in g ab o u t plays and books and
ev ery th in g .”
T he door opened and N an called
them . W hen sh e had p resen ted them
sh e tu rn e d to h e r m other. “Mr. H en
derson w an ts to ta k e me to see vaude
ville over a t th e P alace, m other, th e
nine o’clock p erform ance, you know.
Is it all rig h t? ”
Mrs. T a y lo r looked a t th e young
man and nodded sm ilingly.
R uth follow ed Nan to h e r bedroom,
and sh u ttin g tlie door carefu lly be
hind her, asked, “W h erefo re borrow
m o th er’s sealsk in co at and pow der
your nose an d rouge yo u r cheeks—
ju s t fo r your em ployer?”
N an had tlie grace to blush ns she
lifted a little sw irl of blue tissu e th n t
w as. If you please, a sp rin g hat.
“S illy !” she said ngnln, and h u rried
back into th e living room.
“I wus ju s t tellin g Mr. H enderson
about o u r m ining stock, d ear, and th a t
It m ade us q u ite Independent ngnln,"
h er m o th er said. “I told him , too, th a t
I th o u g h t It would be w ise fo r you to
resign. T h e re w as som ething w rong
w ith th e le tte rs, w as th e re not? You
a re Inexperienced, of course.”
“On th e o th e r hand, th e le tte rs w ere
p erfect, q u ite p erfe c t,” Mr. H enderson
h a sten ed to a ssu re h er. “You w on’t
th in k o f leaving us, will you. Miss
N an, th n t is, not y et? I am going to
be rig h t in tlie office now fo r tw o
m onths.”
“ No, I like It." N an sm iled up at
him from u n d e r the bew ildering sw irl
of blue tissu e. “ I am going to work
alw ays.” she added em p hatically.
At th e door th e good-looking young
man p aused. H is b and bad a posses
sive touch on th e little fur-clad sleeve
beside him . “O f course, Mrs. T aylor,
I know th a t som e day I am going to
n gree w ith you. I am going to urge
Miss Nari to resign.” He laughed boy
ishly, flushing a little.
“Now, th e only difference betw een
sis and me Is th n t I am open nnd
above-board, m o th er,” calm ly acknow l
edged R uth when tlie door had closed
on th e two. “I'll bet my new red hat

Mix bu sin ess an d pleasu re? All a girl

“It ts fate, R uthle. I know ,” said
