CHAPTER ni
TVOW In this world of women,
there Is hair and hair. Her
own curls, lor instance, could be
accurately described as blond, or
taffy, Pat Friday told herself. But
so could Loraine Stuart's. The
difference was not in color or in
fineness or in anything tangible;
and yet to Pat it seemed very
marked. Her own hair was for
ever prone to go berserk and look
like a pencil drawing made by a
baby. But Loraine's was perfec
tion right off a magazine page.
And another thing: Loraine
Stuart obviously didn't have to
diet Pat counted calories, ate ex
tra slices of buttered bread, gorged
potatoes. But her all-time high
remained at 99 pounds. The
streamlined Miss Stuart, Pat con
fessed silently, was four inches
taller and 17 or 18 pounds heavier.
All of her was applied in exactly
the right places, in exactly the
right way. Her walk, too, was a
aymphony, no less than her hair
and her complexion and her voice.
"She positively flows!" Pat con
ceded, In admiration that was
worrisome but genuine.
This appraisal was made on the
train going to Elmira, but it was
a one-sided appraisal. Loraine
had given no indication that Pat
existed at all. Loraine merely sat
beside Jimmy in the Pullman and
engaged In what Pat understood
to be sophisticated smart talk. Pat
had to ride alone and backwards,
in the seat behind them.
That arrangement, in a way,
was Pat's own; she had felt a
sense of responsibility as Jimmy
Carr's new secretary, and so she
had carefully seen to it that his
luggage got on the train. The por
ter had noted that He favored her
with a warm smile and cordial but
ever-so-respectful manner which
Pat liked, but at the same time
she felt a bit flattened.
. "1 can make any servant in the
world like me, but" She didn't
finish the thought, sitting there
rocking in the car. But she was
thinking of Loraine and Jimmy,
a
fi'um little sense of gloom might
i have deepened if Jimmy Can
hadn't suddenly stood up, look
tag for her. Loraine stood, too,
and they moved into the aisle.
I "Club car," Jimmy said, beckon
ing. "Okay?"
! "Yes sir." .
I Jimmy grinned. "Listen, Private
Friday. Maybe I ought to make
jyou salute me, too."
: Pat looked quickly up at him,
caught his infectious grin..
. "1 never know when you're
teasing!" she murmured.
"What say?" The train roar had
drowned her.
"I say, I never know when
you're teasing."
"I never tease children.''
"Oh."
"And you're just a little glrL"
He emphasized the little.
"Well well you 1" She decid
ed to let him have it back. "At
least my ears are Utile, too."
Jimmy pretended to scowl.
"Listen, private! Want me to fire
you? My ears are my sore points."
"They aren't points. They are
landing news."
"Wow!" They had come be
tween two cars, and he held her
arm. They had to shout over the
wheel clacking. "Okay, I won't
pick on you, then. You can't help
being little, and 1 can't help hav
ing mule ears."
"They aren't really mulish."
"What?"
Now they were in another Pull
man, with passengers looking up.
Unconsciously, Pat shouted louder.
"I say your ears aren't really as
big as a mule's, and anyway, 1
like 'em!"
Fifteen or 20 people laughed,
then, at the three young persons
who had just entered. Jimmy
turned a little pink behind his
grin. So, too, did Patsy redden;
she felt horrified. "Oh, I I'm
sorry!" she managed but some
how that didn't help.
"How perfectly charming every
one is!" cooed Lorain Stuart
Pat could have kicked her, and
kicked herself as welt Why, darn
it, was she so ill at ease around
that Loraine person? And so des
perately anxious to please Jimmy
Carr?
a '
QN a curved seat in the club car
they began talking business.
1 "Now soaring, Pat, is not only
extremely important, but it's more
fun than than" he eyed her a
second-'than a week on Coney
Island. Ever ride a Ferris wheel?
Same thrill, only more so. Much
more. And the Army doesn't pay
80 bucks a week just for stenog
raphers." "But do you think I can learn?
I mean I'm sure I canand "
"You're going to, miss. Bet that
straight right now."
"Oh."
"The Army needs thousands of
trained pilots. To teach other pi
lots. Smart women often are bet
ter than smart men teachers.
That's why wo advertised for you
girls. At first, we want the cream
of the lot only. Wo got six this
trip. I sent the other five to other
fields, and I'm bringing you here
to Elmira with me, for your train
Ing." "Yes sir. I mean, yes Jimmy."
"That's better. Honestly, Pat,
I'm not so doggoned old. And 1

while discipline is all right In lis
place"
Ho lectured and teased her for
half an hour, tactfully, kindly, de
lightfully to Pat All the things
she needed to know at first about
ofllce routine and soaring and air
plane flight Plus a lot of little
personal bits thrown in both ways.
"And so," Jimmy was saying,
"I'll ask Loraine to teach you, in
person, because she's already ex
pert both in motor ship and sail
plane. And this will give you two
kids a chance to get really ac
quainted. You'll have a lot to talk
about I have a hunch we'll all
get along fine."
Pat looked at him in quick dis
tress. Her own hunch liad been
just the opposite! But already he
was standing, saying that they
could start making plans right
away because Elmira wasn't much
farther, and that nowadays things
had to happen fast Pat watched
his fine shoulders disappear
through a swinging door, and
noted too that his ears weren't
really large. She turned then to
look a little bit fearfully at Lo
raine. Miss Stuart was perched on
some figurative height Her eyes
were narrowed, and she showed a
funny little half-amused smile
which quickly vanished. Then she
spoke, and it amounted to her first
instructions.
"That yes-sir no-sir act," she
began, and paused to spit out to
bacco crumbs, her pretty lips
puckered disdainfully, "it didn't go
over at alt Not with me. Perhaps
I'd better remind you that Jimmy
and I are engaged. Don't bother
wasting your talents and time."
