¢ and daughter. THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1930 PAGE ELEVER Janet, repeat- she likes the and _ 'Mr. Lane, seeing that peace was 'restored, pecked at his weie's cheek, 'looked at the clock and made a hasty exit. "I hope you arc sorry, Janet, to Gave hurt your father's feelings that "way," Mrs. Lane remarked. | "How did I hurt father's' feelings?" Janet asked. "Surely you could sce that he wanted you to ask to be introduced io this young James Warren, but no, you're so high hat you just let a hance like that slide by, and hurt your father's feelings to boot." Janet smiled, " I don't think father :ared so much. Maybe I shall meet this Mr. Warren some day, Come long, Adelaide, we'll be late." "Sure, and .if Tm late again, old . man Smithers is going to tie a-neat ittle can to poor Adelaide, isn't he? Don't worry about Janet, Mrs. Lane, 1H pick out a nice boy friend for her. We might look this James Warren up, anyway, Janet. I'll get Tommy and we'll have a foursome, How ;would that be?" : "It might be nice," Janet admitted. "But really we must get started" Janet kissed her mother good-by and went out into the spring morning. ith Adelaide. "Oh, my Lord, I've forgotten my ampact" Adelaide exclaimed. "Come Yin and talk to mother while I get it. She'll jaw at me for hali an hour if you don't. She's so mad that I wasn't Hime early last night and she's Rlireatening to tell pops when I come "home late another time. go in alone, I'll answer back, then she'll write . poor old pops a weepy let. tere Happy-Go-Lucky Adelaide fitted her key into the Morris front door as she spoke, and net followed her into the front Jom, a room which had once been a parlor, but which was now a "living 'room." Janet always wanted to smile 'at this room. It was so different from "the plain stiff primness of the front room in her own home. There were "quantities of overstuffed furniture, not dusted any too often. There were kewpije dolls on the mantle and two lanky French dolls on the davenport. 'There were heavy lace curtains at the windows and much - embroidered .scarves on the tables. There were a number of fancy ash trays in evi- "dence and an untidy pile of cheap magazines on the center table. There "were four lamps, all with elaborate shades, and and ornate chandelier hanging from the centre of the ceiling. Adelaide and her mother * thought the room was swell. A radio ~was crammed into one corner and a baby grand piano, recently purchased * and seldom used, filled one whole side of the room. It never mattered to Mrs, Morris 2nd Adelaide that few of these things i were paid for. Everything was bought on the installment, or as Mrs, Morris preferred to call it, the deferred pay- ment plan. The Morrisses struggled along under the burden of payments on cverything in the house, from kitchen ware to clothing, and seemed to thrive. Once in awhile some article of furniture, or a fur coat, dis- appeared. No one ever mentioned it, / but Janet knew that at such times e payments had been deferred too long and merchants had claimed their awn again. + Janet wondered whether theMorris % family got more satisfaction out of . life than her own frugal father and mother did. With Adelaide or her mother to want a thing was to have _ it--let the future take care of pay- | ing for it. Mr. Morris traveled for a guzdine manufacturing compan ~ When he came home each fortnight he brought candy and magazines, . bottles of perfume, trick cigarette! _ lighters, soap from hotels where he © bad stopped, anything he.could carry : that he t-would please his wife Then if he was ina # genial mood he would take them ~ down and buy them clothes, treat _ them to dinners in restaurants, buy theatre tickets and devart to the . tune of regrets from his family that / his stay must be so short. ©. But if bills had piled up, if deferred . payments were insistent, there were + sceries and tears and two days of _ recriminations, followed by his de- © parture in a storm of reproaches. { Fife was never very peaceful in the - Morris household, but they did seem ito have a time in their' own way, and certainly they possessed a i thousand 'times more rial plea- than the Lanes. ever af- et ¢ y. Jv "the | the back which Mrs. Morris occupied when her husband wis away. . She was wearing a featheré *negligee and reading a novel with an open i By Barbara Webb Copyright" by Public Ledger box of chocolates nearby. Her stout- ness never worried her to the point where she would stop eating candy and lying late in bed. She put down her book and greeted Janet. "Come in, Janet darling. I'm so mad at Addie that it's good to see you. I tell her she'll spoil her looks and ruin her health running around like she does, but nothing I say has any effect on her. I'm going "to ask your mother this very morning how she manages to keep you home so much, Of course I expect Addie to be popular, I was a popular girl my- self when I was young, but I never stayed out until 3 in the morning and then sassed my mother when I came in--" Adelaide's entrance cut the speech short. "Doing a monologue, mom? Janet heard it all before. We've got to beat it quick or I'll be back home pretty soon without a job, won't I, Janet?" "Qh, I don't think it's as serious as that," Janet said laughing. "But I uess we had better go. Good-by, Mrs. Morris." They made their way once through the cluttered house and again Janet wondered at the dif- ference in the two homes, side by side, separated only by a wall and et as different as day and night, anet's mother was what is known as a "perfect housekeeper." No dust, no untidiness, no disorder ever existed in the Lane house. Things might be shabby and old, but they werc clean and polished and in their places, Adelaide's mother had spells when she cleaned wildly, "right and left and in every direction," as. Mrs, Lane described it but mostly the dust was Teft to the attention of the weekly cleaning woman and 'times. whem Adelaide herself put things to rights against the coming of company. As the girls left the house Adelaide slipped her arm through Janet's. "Let's step in to say helo to your father before we take the subway," she proposed. "Stop in to see father!" voice was full of surprise. "Sure. We'll have time if we hurry afterward." "But why," Janet demanded, "why should we stop to see my father? You said good-by to him not half an hour ago." "I thought maybe he'd be mad at the way I talked ut breakiast and 1 hate to have people mad at me. Then, to, I'd like to get a knock- down to this new fellow, James War- ren." Janet laughed. "Why didn't you say that in the first place then? Really, Affelaide, there simply isn't time. If vou stop you'll. have to stop alone. I'm going straight to the of- fice--there are a lot of invoices to type this morning, you'll remember." "Oh, darn the invoices," Adclaide said. "I sort of have a hunch that Mr. James Warren will be a find, 1 want to get a look at him--come on, we won't stop if you think it"s too late, but: let's walk past and get a look at him anyway." Janet shook her head. "Not me. I'm not interested and we're late as it is." more "Janet's "You're the limit, Janet. Here's a | chance to mect a swell new fellow and all you think of is work. Well, I'm not going fo stop alone and I think it's piggish of you to spoil all my fun this way." : "Sorry," Janet said absently. "The new boy friend 'will keep. Get up early tomorrow and walk over with dad. No reason why I should go if you've marked the Warren chap for your own, is there?" They had reached the subway and dived down its stairs. Adelaide's an- swer swallowed in the roar of an express train that thundered by as they descended. Sulking in a subway isn't an easy thing to accomplish {and Adelaide had recovered her good humor by the time they had found straps to cling to, and chattered all the way to the office of the fun she had had the night before. Janet listened with half her atten- tion, er thoughts a sert of obligato to Adelaide's words. For some reason she felt quickened this morning, the spring pethap. As Adelaide talked Janet thought of the years she and Adelaide had been friends: She re- membered when 'they had started to kindergarten, Adelaide with a huge pink bow tied on the top of her blond curls, Janet with a' sober black onc binding her'wavy brown hair. Even then the little boys had cast sheeps- eyes at Adelaide and ignored Janet, : Plain Jane Later, when Janet helped Adelaide with her home work, coached her for examinations so they could "remain in the same grade, the samc thing had been frue. 4 Adelaide attracted boys as flowers attract bees, and it was, not 'until they were older that Janet realized that their "attention was just as fleeting. In highschool days Adelaide had 3 succession of bedus, 'one almost tripping" on the heels of the other. Never a dance or party did Adelaide miss and there had been evenings when Janet cried herself to slecp because she had to stay home for lack of an invitation while Adclaide went to some high school affair. One or two of the older boys had taken Lg out occasionally, but evidently they thought her too slow, for. they did not ask her again. She had worshipped one of the senior boys for a year and had fallen in love with one of her teachers in-busi- ness college. But as neither the senior nor the teacher . had been awarc of her devotion these were one- sided affairs and she had long ago recovered from them. Janet at 22 could honestly say that she had ncver had a love affair, Even two years ago she had won- dered what was wrong with her, shuddered at the thought that ro- mance might pass her by, but since the making of her. dream hook a conviction had grown in - her. heart that she was saving herself for: the real thing whenever it should 'come to her, and she had no doubt that it would. She had reached this. point in her thinking when for some reason the name of the unseen James Warren came into her mind, "James Warren, Jimmy Warren, James Warren, Jim. my Warren," the train said as it clicked over the rails. Janet looked sidewise at Adelaide. Pert and pretty and stylishily dressed-- James Warren would fall for Adelaide, of course. Janet shook herself impatiently and resumed her thinking of the friend. ship between herself and Adelaide. High school over, Janet had im- mediately entered a business college. stayed -at home: But the young man in whoin she was interested then veered away and Adelaide found few opportunities for replacing him so long as she stayed at home. Envious of Janet's freedom and spending money she tore through a whirlwind course at business college--Janet had spent long evenings helping her--and then with Janet's aid had found a place in the same office. Here for a time she qucened it over her fellow workers, spending all her money on clothes, accepting dates from every man in the office who asked her, working just enough to keep her position. In various ways, some of them never clearly explained, she had become acquainted with idlers along Broadway and graduated from the attentions of men in the office to the good times offered by these casual acquaintances. Janet could not tell whether Adelaide ever cared greatly for any of 'these new friends. Probably they never lasted long enough to make any deep im- pression on the girl. Once more Janet had to take.a back seat, listening to Adelaide's confidences, protecting. her i from her laziness at the office, spend- | ing long evenings alone at home. Adelaide for her part accepted all | that Janet offered her without ques- tion and in return gave as much loy- alty and friendship as she was capable of. Neither girl regarded it as a one-sided arrangement, It had | stood the test of time, had been part | of their lives so long that question- ing it would have been like question- ing their homes andr parents. This morning for the first time Janet found herself speculating on how { long this relatios would endure, Ade- laide was going a fast pace, and be- hind Janet's gentle urging that they be on time to work was the realiza- { tion that Adelaide might find herself | without work if she offended again, {Of course Adelaide could get other | work, but Janet did not like to think of being in the office without her riend. "So I just told him where to get off," Adelaide was 'saying, and Janct brought herself back to the present saying with a smile, "And here's where we get off. Thank heaven we didn't have any delays," . A Reprimand Deferred They emerged into 'Borough Hall square, thronged with workers at this hour of 'the morning. They worked in a large insurance office near Bor- ough Hall park and walked the short two blocks hastily. It lacked two minutes of nine when they entered and Janet drew a breath of relief and was conscious of Mr, Smither's glance at them. Adelaide saw it, too, and whispered to Janet, "Old sobersides is on the job. Did you see the dirty look he fave me?" ; ; They went to their lockers, : left their wraps, and Janet waited while Adelaide touched up her complexion, Then they were back in the big, light room filled with desks and the clatter of typewriter keys. Adelaide waved a collective grecting to the anen an girls who sat near her desk, rol up her typewriter, and. opened a drawer for a look" at herself in the mirror she kept there. | all around, picked up her dict 'book and: began to; transcribe notes she had made' the 'previous afternoon from Mr, Smithers' dictation. Adelaide; sure of marrying soon; hat Janet nodded | Adelaide' made a grimace at her | friend's "busy fingers, inspected her | stockings to be sure the little run in them: had , not, become a big one, polished: her fingernails and finally put some papers in the copying stand and began to type the invoices that had fallen to her lot for the day. As she worked she watched the comings and goings in the office and took time' for an exchange of flirtatious nces with young Albert Jameson. Wass. fair, blond, babyish looking youth 'who blushed easily, He was trying to grow a mustache, and when he caught, 'Adelaide; looking at him he grew fiery red to the roots of his Hair "and "fingered the downy growth on his upper lip. , Adelaide giggled and drooped one eye in a droll wink. She had never been out with Albert and the girls in the office said he seemed to have lots of pocket money. She had just de- cided to go to the water cooler for a drink and stop for a moment at his desk on her return. when her, name was called, "Miss Morris!" Adelaide jumped and gathered up notebook and pencil hastily. Of course Smithers would want her for | dictation just at this moment. There was an epidemic of grinning as Ade- laide swayed toward Smithers' desk. Every one had been watching her ex- change of glances with Albert and he, aware of it, began to work furi- ously as Adelaide progressed toward the desk. Adelaide knew they were smiling behind her back, but it did not bother her. She went at a leisurcly pace, her high heels click- ing, her short full skirt swaying, an attractive picture and she knew it, Janet watched a little anxiously as Adelaide disappeared with Mr, Smith- ers into his private office. She knew that when he chose he could dictate so fast that only the most expert | fingers could keep up with him, She knew, too, that he was out of pati ence with Adelaide. But she need! not have 'worried. | | Adelaide had turped large, inno-| | cent, admiring eyes on her boss when the seated himself at his big flat tapped desk. "You haven't been giving me dic tation much lately, have you, M: Smithers?" she asked. { Smithers looked at her in surprise She 'was 'so pretty, too bad she wa tardy 'and inefficient, so unlike her friend, 'Miss Lane; he thought, "I 'always like to come in here and have you dictate to mie," Adelaide | went on. "You sec, I like to look at your ties. I think you have the most perfect taste in ties of any man | ever saw, That one you have on this morning--it's such a lovely shade of green--," She opened her smiled at him. "Well, I'm glad you like them," he said dryly, "but let's omit any fur- ther discussion of my ties and get down to work." Nevertheless, being human, he was pleased. He knew the purpose of Adelaide's flattery and was amused at her boldness. But even this did fot anger him and he altered his plan for dictating very fast, and showed Adelaide a great deal of con- | sideration that morning. When she { went back to the main office an hour | later she paused at Janet's desk to | say in a low tone: | "I put it over on' the old man. He wears the most godawful ties in creation, but I told him I thought they were stunning, and he fell hard. | Dictated like I was a mere baby out of school for the first time, and did- n't shout at me once." Janet laughed, "You're lucky, He never does that with me, no matter how hard I work." "Try out the good old sex appeal" Adelaide advised. "It always works. I'll bet a dollar he's back there feel ing sorry for poor little me right this minute." "In the Know" At lunch time they joined a group of girls in a nearby cafeteria. Janet contributed little to the talk, It was all of boys, dresses, beauty parlors, dates, movies. and a new dance called the "giggle-water-glide." It was nat that she felt superior, simply that she had nothing to add to the conversa- | tion and found it only midday inter- | esting. Oddly enough, no one re- sented this in Janet. She was well liked, judged to be too quiet but a good sport just the same, and not at all high hat. Occasionally they ap- pealed to her judgment in some mat- ter of good taste or good manners, for Janet had achieved a vague repu- tation for 'being "in the know" on | such subjects. | One of the girls who was about to | be married turned to her and said, | "Don't you think I could have yel- low curtains in my kitchen, Janet? I'm crazy about yellow, but every one says I ought to stick to blue or plain white." | "If you had your woodwork painted | a soft delft blue and then put yellow- | checked gingham curtains with bluc | piping the color of the woodword at the windows 1 think it would be a darling color scheme," Janet an- swered. : "You've saved my life," Marianne declared, "They haven't redecorated the kitchen yet in the apartment and I'll ask them for that color--delft blue, wasn't it--this very night" . | Ell let you do my kitchen. some | day," Adelaide said saucily. "Pink | and blue are my colors; what can! You ake of that?" "You'll have to sleep in it, then, !

And for pat's sake, some one write out the word 'receive' for me. I always mix up 'the 'i's' and 'e's' and it" never looks right any way I do it." Janet scribbled the word on a bit of paper, and Adelaide said thanks. 'Janet could see her dfffing the aftef- noon consulting the note frequently.
