THE BIG CHANCE
By FREDERICK LAING
E WASN'T the kind to pick a
secretary by the color of her
hair.
Not Bill Hargrave.
Both
Faula and Nar.cy had been smart
enough to know that. And for some
time every one in the office had
known that one of them. Paula or
Nancy, was going to get the job.
In fact, the decision probably would
come through this afternoon. Har­
grave was leaving town and wanted
to get it settled.
The two girls could see him from
their desks outside his office. May­
be it was only a set of proofs for
the Zippo campaign that he was
looking at with cool, keen eyes. But
for a moment his finger seemed to
pause above those two efficient lit­
tle push-buttons. If he pressed the
left one, it would be Paula’s pulse
that would go into high speed.
Paula couldn't keep her eyes off
that light on her desk. She kept
making mistakes in her typing and
nervously ripping the sheets out to
start fresh again.
She leaned across her typewriter
and said to Nancy: “The boss is all
dolled up today. Must be going on
a special trip with the new presi­
dent of Zippo.”
She was just talking to relieve
her nervousness. Nancy took her
time about answering. She wasn't
used to having Paula talk to her in
such an intimate tone. Not since
they'd learned a month ago that
they were both in line for a pro­
motion. for the important job as
Bill Hargrave's secretary.
"He does look nice,” she said,
finally.
Hargrave was young and out­
side of office hours he was said
to be human
But that wasn't
why he’d gotten to be one of the
key men at Advertising, Inc. He
was quiet, and some of the boys
in the office hadn’t realised how
fast he was traveling until they
somehow happened to get in his
way.
The two girls saw him get up
from his desk and walk to the
doorway of his office. He stood
there with one hand in a pocket of
his double-breasted blue flannel
suit. There was a small white
flower in his buttonhole and the
usual keen, unrevealing smile on
his face.
“Did you send for the tickets?”
he asked Nancy.
"I got the tickets all right.” she
answered, “but . . .” and she tried
to smile in the same hard way the
boss did. She looked as hardboiled j
as a white kitten. “But there just
aren't any staterooms to be had.”
she told him. “Not for love or
money.”
The boss was certainly disap­
pointed. Anybody could see that.
"Suppose I try it?” Paula sug­
gested quickly.
And for the next 10 minutes, half
the office force could hear Paula
telling the ticket agent where to
get off.
"Listen," she said, “I don’t care [
whose reservations you have to
cancel . . .”
Well, the job was worth going
after. There was the salary, for ’
one thing. And there was the pres- '
tige. Tne boss’ secretary knew a
lot of answers. And there were the
interesting people she got to talk
to. The big shots. And the boxes
of perfume, flowers and candy they
often left on her desk.
And there was Bill Hargrave for
a boss. Young and clever and at­
tractive. That was a factor, too.
Because in the advertising business
H
you called the boss "Bill,” and he
called his secretary "Nancy” or
•’Paula.” and took her to dinner
on the expense account, on nights
when the work was late.
It was all strictly business, but it
seemed intimate and informal.
Both Paula and Nancy knew
about those dinners. Bill had tried
to be fair. He would ask Paula
to stay one night, and then it would
be Nancy’s turn the next.
But Paula had been smart. She'd
soon learned how Impersonal Bill
Hargrave could be, even at those
intimate dinners. About as personal
She handed him the envelope.
It contained the two sets of
tickets. “That's your stateroom
number on the outside,” she said
crisply.
She had on a double breasted blue
flannel suit something like Bill's,
and it was clear he thought she
looked pretty smart in it.
“Don't forget the time," she add­
ed, “eight fifteen."
Hargrave grinned.
“So there
were no staterooms for love or
money, eh?”
He looked again at the number
of his stateroom and he put the
B A B B IT S & SK IN S
NEW LOOK' REVOLT
as an ad that says. “This means
you." And she saw how much
harder to please he was during the
overtime hours — more irritable,
more apt to get that edge of com­
plaint in his voice.
So when Nancy had said, “I don’t
mind staying nights, really. I know
Paula usually has a date. She's
popular with the men . . .” well,
Paula had been glad to let it go
at that. She'd been quick to see
that neither of them was going to
get the job mainly on sex appeal,
and she was right
Paula didn't need any lessons
when it came to office politics. She
was the one who was always busy
when some copy cub wanted his
stuff typed. “Sorry, but it’s impos­
sible, Mac. Why not ask Nancy?"
And they did. It left Paula free
to do Bill Hargrave's work in a
hurry. Never too busy for Mr.
Bill.
When Hargrave finally pressed
one of those buttons it was at
Paula's desk that the light flick­
ered. She started to make a grab
for her note book, but she whipped
out her mirror first. Then she
grabbed up her note book and an
envelope that was on the desk.
As for Nancy, what else could she
do but sit there with her pretty
blonde head bent over her type­
writer?
Nancy was a natural
blonde, and that seemed the best
way to describe her.
She just
didn't seem to know any tricks.
The moment Paula got inside Har­
grave's office, he asked about that
stateroom.
“Any luck, Paula?”
No, Paula hadn't been dumb. It
was the little things that would add
with Mr. Bill.
Orchestra seats

the show was sold out. Or a state­
room when there were “no state­
rooms to be had for love or
money.”
envelope carefully in his inside
pocket.
Then he told her. She had a new
job. He mentioned the salary, too.
He didn’t neglect to mention the
salary.
She took it just right. Just enough
of gratitude. And then, the old
sportsmanship. How sorry she felt
about Nancy. She didn't look sorry.
And neither did Bill. He told her
it was okay, that Nancy wasn't
made for the job anyway, and that
they were leaving on their honey­
moon tonight. Tonight, at eight
fifteen.

CORDUROY COMMOTION - By
actual survey, we find that you high
school Jills think every boy looks
his best in a corduroy jacket. You're
partial to the light tan jobs, worn
with sharp slacks. You also like to
date something in a three-quarter
length corduroy coat. And, with his
letter sweater, you think yellow
corduroy slacks make him look as
suave as Rory Calhoun.
BEAUX WITHOUT BOWS — The
majority of tenn-age girls vote
against bow ties—but go all out for
wild four-in-hand ties that light up
the dark without benefit of electric­
ity. On his ties you like one of
those new clasps that looks as if it
had been pierced right through the
fabric. In fact, you like them so
much that you’re begging, borrow­
ing, or stealing them from him.
Well, if at first you don’t succeed
when you ask for one—just cry,
cry again!

Parties will be disappointing.
Until with this you’ve coped:
They can never be as good

BRING ’EM BACK ALIVE!
The revival of “Gone With the
Wind” has made lots of you won­
der where are the movies of yes­
teryear, and why doesn’t someone
bring them back. When you enjoy
a book you read it over and over.
How many times have you read
“Seventeenth Summer?” But, when
you enjoy a movie—it’s usually only
the memory that lingers on; the
movie, itself, disappears like yes­
terday’s snow. According to a re­
cent soda fountain survey, here are
the epics you'd like to eat popcorn
through again.
“STATE FAIR” —Jeanne was so
lovely—and there must be a word
for Dana, but we can't think of
it. Then, there’s that music!
"JOLSON STORY"—It’s practically
everyone’s choice for a revival
at least once a month.
“MRS. MINIVER” — You’ll even
forgive Greer for "Desire Me” if
she'Jl bring the Minivers back to
town with her.
Well, when it comes to movies—
one good showing deserves another

colonial ball" Insisted the missus
le other day. "And I resent a

"You women have yourselves
to blame," we said. “ Your slavish
surrender to whatever some er­
ratic style czars decree has been
uninterrupted down through the
years. Why don’t you turn and
kick them In the teeth by a simple
refusal to toe the line?
Your
wardrobe Is full of the recently
outlawed models. This is a time
for sense, thrift, and . . .”
OM • MO
"There you go on that thrift stuff
again! I am discussing styles, not
economics. And I am not against
smart changes in modes.
What
makes me boll is the abrupt switch
from clothes in which a woman
could look pretty good, if over 16,
to those 1948 get-ups which make
almost any woman look as if she
was understudying a free balloon.”

“ Don’t look at m e,” snapped
the missus. “The simple truth Is
that few outside of this year's
high school classes can blossom
forth in modern fashion without
resembling Whistler’s Mother or
Barbara Fritchie both wrongside
up and very unhappy.”
She put on her hat and started for

“Where are you going?” we
asked.
“To the United Nations!
The
matter belongs on their agenda.
And what’s more no candidate for
president gets my vote who doesn't
come out with planks to compel
dress designers to register, take an
oath they are not malicious, swear
they are not undercover agents for
Old Mother Hubbard and stop rack
eteering in feminine vanity.”
THE DOVE
I can’t make peace with any
men,
Except through Mr. Wallace,

To each approach my stare Is
blank—
But not to Mr. Wallace (Ilank);
It’s funny how I give the gate
To all except ONE CANDI­
DATE;
Ah, I am sweet and short of
malice—
But only via Henry Wallace!

'Illinois, heh? How come you
leave a settled country like that and
come to these lonesome hills?”
"Well, sir. my neighbors got to
sayin’ mean things about me."
“Why didn’t you challenge them
