YUTILDRED GLOVER, fresh and
pretty In a navy-blue dress of
sheerest voile, tapped a alltu sandaled
foot u|H>n the granite curbing of the
sidewalk until the car for (he subway
Jangled along.
Mildred, at twenty, had received her
tirat thrill. It was. unfortunately, a
aecond hau l romance, and an old. fa
miliar story. Hut to Mildred, experi
encing for the llrst time the powers of
her feminine beauty, it was a highly
perfumed, intoxicating romance. For
Instance, the night before, when all
the other members of her family
fanned and fussed on the little
screen,al In i»>r,h. Mildred, lying In
the dark upou a humpy mattress In
her cramped l>edroom, had brought
forth in such d ear detail every little
bit of her romance that the ugly room
and even the Intense heat had faded
into oblivion.
The Ann of brokers for which Mil
dred worked consisted o f a senior
partner and a Junior partner. The
senior i«artner was gray, grave and
aloof. The Junior partner was dark,
charming, considerate, appreciative of
a nice bit of work—and friendly. So
friendly that the day before, when
Mildred had taken in some letters to
be signed, he had expressed dismay
that a rush of business made It neces
sary for the girls to work during the
hot afternoon. Couldn't he drive Mil
dred down to one of the beaches that
evening to cool off? Mildred had
stammered a polite refusal. The next
evening, then— he Insisted—and Mil
dred had agreed.
The little kink that made It a sec
ond-hand romance was the fact that
the junior partner was married.
Two horridly persistent voices ar
gue,! rapidly Inside Mildred's head
while the car Jangled along to the
subway.
“His family has been at the beach
for weeks, and he’s lonely." pleaded
the first voice.
"Yah," Jeered the second voice. “I
bet he'll tell hts wife all about i t too."
"Oh. what's the harm In a ride?"
asked the first voice.
“And what's the harm in a kiss?”
derided the second. ‘'Remember, be
tried t<> kiss the switchboard operator
and she slapped his face."
Tlie first voice became stubborn.
“Maybe she lied. Anyway, I'm going."
Acroas the car. a commuter was ab
sorbed in the last page of his morning
Post. The front page sprawled Its In
viting headlines toward Mildred. She
read them rapidly; then her gaxe
moved upward to the Dally Quotation
a t the top of the page, a feature of the
paper for some time past.
