SECURITY TUMBLES
JOSIB noticed hor radiance. "You
look as It something nice bad
happened to you. Miss Brandon.
Did you have a date with your boy
friend last night?"
Kitty shook her head. But she
lauxhed. "Something nice has bap-pened."
Josle was In high spirits herself.
"Look at these, Miss Brandon.
Aren't they a bargain for tbe
money?" And when Kitty camo
closer: "Something nice happened
to ma last night, I met the swellest
man. Gee. I guess It was lore at
first sight."
Josle's confidences Interested
Kitty.
Josle did not care that Kitty
gave no confidences In return. Prob
ably Josle considered she had none
to give.
Her friendliness had given Kitty
mora confidence In her work. Quite
consciously she had copied Josle's
competent sales manner.
wanted to most or mem don't do
that. Why you want to, of course, Is
your business but It's mine to know
that you are In earnest, not just
taking a try at It."
Her tone was questioning and
Kitty answered: .
"I am In earnest, truly.
"Good. I'll tell you what's on my
mind but don't say anything about
It In the department. They've prom
ised me an assistant the promise.
Is so old that It has moss on It,
but they've got to make good this
spring because the department's
grown. Can't you see that It's grown
even since you've beon there, Miss
Brandon? Well, if they want to
keep me they've got to make good.
And they'll listen to any recom
mendatlons I make. There's ycur
chance. I'm not saying anything
definite, understand; it's up to you."
The waiter bad brought their
oysters. Miss Lee pounced on
them, giving her whole attention
to them.
Kitty's face had flushed. She
ought to tell Miss Lee, now, that she
was married, that, any day Assist
ant buyer, perhaps some day take
Miss Lee's place. To work with Gar
to keep their home. Many women
did that one of the girls In the
sportswear department was married.
It was the kind of thing Dorcat
would do.
"ft was love at first light."
But today she felt a zest that was
not borrowed from Josle. It was a
busy day. Blouses? She had pa
tience tor tbe most exacting shop
per. , '
A Jersey dress copied from an Im
ported model was the Joke of the
department, to everyone but Miss
Lee, the buyer. It had hung In the
ease since spring.
"No, I don't want a suit I want a
dress of Borne kind, something that's
a little different," a customer told
Kitty, this morning. And Kitty
took the Jersey dross out of the
case. "It's a Patou copy," she said,
as she had said before, but there
was a difference In her voice this
morning and In the way she smiled
over the garment as she held It out.
"Don't you want to try It on?"
And ten minutes later the dress
went to the bundle counter, sold.
A little later Miss Lee, approach
ing Kitty In her brisk manner, com
mended her for her sale. "What
time do you go out tor lunch. Miss
' Brandon? Twelve? Change with
one of the girls and come with me
at one. I've an appointment at the
Hoffman at two-thirty and we'll eat
1 there."
At Btratton's Kitty knew Miss
Lee as an efficient manager, with a
brittle manner that made the girls
In her department a little afraid of
her. But as tbey sat down at a
mall table In tbe Hoffman dining
room she seemed to soften, grow
younger, more animated, as If she
threw oft a self she kept for busi
ness Just as she slipped out of her
mart coat and lot the waiter told
It over the chair back.
"Now, let's see" Miss Lee sug
gested one thing and another.
"You'll Ilk the Chef's salad. And
oysters. Sweetbread patties that
sounds good. Are there mushrooms
with them, waiter? Mushrooms
and the pumpkin pie." She put the
card down, Immensely satisfied, and
looked at Kitty.
Her glance rosted on Kitty's face,
speculatively. "Do. you llko your
work?"
"Oh, yes, now. I felt stupid at
Brat."
"Well, that's a good sign, that
you're willing to admit you were
stupid, l vo been watching you
You'll got on. In fact I picked you
out for good material the first day
rou came. You worked as It you
Aloud she only answered:
"Thanks," In a low tone, a little
breathlessly. Miss Lee finished 4iet
oysters . before she said anything
more. Then: "Remember about
keeping your mouth shut and your
oyes open. And study your cus
tomers, they've as different tastes
as they've shapes. Get to know the
people who come In. It always
makes a hit when you can, call some
one by name. See that girl getting
up from that table over there?
That's the Frew girl, Dalton Frew's
daughter"
Kitty turned here eyes swiftly
across the room, her face paling
with shock. Carol bad Just risen
from a table. She did not leave It
at once. She stood there a moment,
bent a little toward the man with
whom she had been eating. Her
face was angry, resentful. To what
ever s ho was saying the man gave
only a shrug of his shoulders, only
halt rising from his chair. And al
most at once Carol turned and left
him, walking swiftly out of the
room. Kitty saw her Hps working.
"She's not much on style with all
the nmney she has. But her mother
Is. Now that's the point I was mak
ingfor Instance It she should come
in, If you'd say: "Good morning,
Miss Frew, Can I help you?" she'd
like It. That's Paul Somerset she's
Just left He's an actor starred In
Winter's Moon three years ago. I
saw him In New York. He had soma
mix up with the Equity. I heard he
was here the Idyllers have taken
him up. Of course you know what
that Is a club of debutantes.
Thoy're starting one of those little
Theaters. Oh, I keep In touch with
what's doing, that's part of my
business. If Margery Crosby came
In looking tor a sweater I'd expect
you to show her only the best lot.
She's the richest girl In Wlnton,
you know."
Kitty gripped the table to steady
herself. The room was whirling
about her; she dared not risk a
wortll Foolishly she had thought
Stratton's, like Kntchum Street,
world safoly apart from Carol, Map
gory Crosby, the Idyllers, and now
that security was tumbling aboul
hor.
