"En gajedr "Yea," said Zoe, smiling at him. "Engaged in the Automatl It's wonderful, darling." "It teems like a sort of dream." said Pete, going back to his sand wich, "being engaged to you. I mean. There were so many fel lows rushing you around I hard- Zoe admitted. "But maybe w ought to face cold facts right now, and thresh them all out." "tvery tiling all lettled," said Peter. "60 Lures nothing to be threshed out. We get married in a week ana in the Little Church Around the Corner just like you said you wanted." "Pete darling, I do hope It turns out all right." "Why shouldn t it?" Pete said. And men; "Look here, Zoe, have you been listening to Lavmia again?" "She did sort of of warn me." Zoe confr-.sed. "1 thought so!" Pete was an noyed. "Now there's an example of what going into the business world does to a girl. I'll be glad when you gel away from the La vinia Prentiss influence." "You mustn't be too hard on her, Peter," Zoe said. "She's real ly my best friend, even if we do disagree now and then." She paused, gating into the distance. She was seeing the Methodist Orphanage down home the kindly but not overly cheerful olace wherein she and Lavinia had spent the days of their child hood. "When two girls have been through what Lavinia and I have, they stick no matter how much they get on each other's nerves at times." "Then you admit that Lavinia gets on your nerves?" said Pete. "Yes. And I get on h?rs, too." Zoe smiled.

"A ?irl plays around with men lust or fun because she hates to think she's not popular with them; but when the right one comes along, she well, she lust tosses an tn otners out 01 tne window." "I wish I could kiss you right this minute!" said Pete, a huski aess in his voice. "So do I," said Zoe. "Only Au tomats are hardly places for kissing." "Well, one thing Is certain, we won't always be eating in places Ilk this. When we're married, and I get my raises, we'll cele brate, go to El Morocco, the Rainbow Room, the Silver Slip per, the" "But I like the Automat Pete, really I d," Zoe smiled across her cup. "Besides, we had a won derful time dancing before we cam here. And didn't you know that it's quit the thing now, to come to the Automat after the theater, and late at night after dancing? Look, here's a man now in a silk hat and the wnrmn with him Is wearing ermine" She gigTled. "Ermine in the Auto mat." "Sounds like a title or some thin'." "vcs, tt does," said Zoe. "onlv don't make a mlstske and say Termln." "You'r wonderful, Zoe." said Pete. "I mean, enjoving being with a man. even if it's onlv eat ing In Automats and sitting in bslrony sests Most eirls espe cially those who work seem to think a man ought to spend a young fortune on them." Big Plans ""H, women in the business - world give me a pain!" said Zoe. "Most of them ought to be fired, and made to marry and run Homes. "You really mesn thM?" "I certainly do And I'm tickled to death to be getting out of busi ness, Pete. I'm going to tmke a good wife, or know the reason why." Zoe suddenly remembered all that Lavinia had said shout raises, srlvsnor-m-nlii hih-rs it' ness. and apartments in the Bronx. "Pete. she went on. "vnu do think vou love me ennugh to -to stand set-barks I mean struggles and maybe being hard up at times?" "You bet I do!" said Pete with emphasis. "Gosh, honey, don't Start crossing bridges" "1 know it sounds unromintic," to give you so much of my time." "Never mind, sweetness. In a little while you'll be bavin La vinia to come live with me. ' The Orphanage "1 KNOW, and it will be heav- enly," said Zoe. "Only I do worry sbout Lavinia. I keep re membering how close we've been. I remember how I wept the day her Aunt Dorcas came to take her away from the orphanage; and I keep wondering if Lavinia will feel the same way when you come for me." "Nonsense! Lsvinla's too wrapped up in her work to have any real emotions sbout people." Pete drained his cup, and set it down. "Funny, her aunt letting her go to the asylum in the first plfice." "She didn't know about It." Ze explained. "Mlss Dorcas was off in the wilds of a jungle when I avinla'j parents died But when she returned to the States she lost no time in doing something about it She took Lavinia away from the orphanage and nut her in a private school. She's bern swell to Lnvinia ever sinee. nl thou"h she's not seen her for years." "And then vou got out also, thank God." said Pete reverentlv. "Yes. I had a little cash left me be an uncle who hadn't h-.thered to get me out sooner, and I took a husiness course. Like a lot of girls, I came to New York and" "And vou and lavinia the two orphans fell upon each other's necks." said Peter "A re union an apartment together and me falling in love with th lovo'iest of the two!" "We've done prrttv well. too. for a couple of orphans," said Zoe "If 1 do sav so as shouldn't." "You bet vou've done well! But there's one little ornhan I'm go ing o t-ke care of from now on." "Inat." said Zoe. "is all any little orphan could ask!"
