an PAGE SEVEN LOVE SHY - Installment Thirty-nine MAKE BELIEVE Janet was typing busily just before the lunch hour two days later when some one came into the office. She tured and then e¢ried in delight "Why it's Jimmy!" "The very same," responded Jimmy with a low bow, "I want to be intro- duced ot the boss and I want to ask him a very special favor." "Here he is," Mr. Smithers said heartily, coming out of his private office, "you're Mr. Warren, Miss Lane's young man, I suppose?" The two men shook hands cordially and Mr, Smithers said, "You're to be 'congratulated, young man. You're oing to get the finest little wife in ew York City, 1 believe." ; "Tm sure I am,"Jimmy said, grin- ning, "I'm wondering if you would mind her taking a little extra time for her lunch hour this noon--" "Not at all, not at all, she can have the whole afternoon if she wishes, Going shopping 7" "Going shopping," Jimmy said gravely, "I certainly appreciate your letting her go. I've got the whole afternoon myself." Mr. Smithers disappeared into his office and returned just as they were ready to leave. "Since you're going shopping," he said, holding out a blue slip of paper, "I'll give Miss Lane her wedding present from me right now, I consulted my wife and she said you could probably buy what you want better that we could pick it out for you, so I want you to take this with our very best wishes for your happiness." His face was very red and he blew his nose vigorously as Janet took the check. "Oh, Mr. Smithers!" she cried looking at it, "Why--why, Jimmy, it's for a hundred dollars!" Jimmy smiled at her, sweet--we'll have a regular bat this afternoon spending it." ; There were tears in her eyes as she went to her employer and took his hand in hers, "I'm going to buy something very beautiful for our home with this, Mr. Smithers, anc I'll tell you exactly how I spent it. [ just can't thank you enough." Hal ae SO 1t 18, "Not at all, not at all," Mr. Smith- | protested, "You've give me five times that much extra work since ou've been with me----" Janet hugged Jimmy's arm close to er side as they went down in the By Barbara Webb elevator. "Ol, Jimmy, isn't it grand? A whole afternoon and a whole hun- dred dollars to spend----" Furnishing the Dream House When they were on the street Jimmy said, "Let's play a game this afternoon, Janet, Let's pretend that this check 1s for a thousand--no let's be generous and pretend it's for $10,000 instead of a hundred. And let's go into the most expensive pla- ces in town and pretend to buy just what we'd like if we had that big white house you used to drcam about. Will you?" "Oh, that will be fun," Janet cried, "but of course we must spend the hundred dollars some time this after- noon because I'll have to tell Mr. Smithers what we bought with it." "Just as you say, but let's get something extra special | with it, something we don't need but that we both like so well we'll never get tired of of it. Now then--let's pretend, let's pretend we're buying things for your dream house." They went uptown to New York's most exclusive and 'beautiful furn- iture galleries, places, Janet knew only by name and where she was lost in excited wonder at the splendor they exhibited. [If there was unusual deference in the manners of the clerks who showed them things, if the atmosphere toward a woung couple who were "just looking" was unusually cordial, it made no impres- sion on Janet. She was too happy, too alive to the beauty of her sur- roundings to be aware of the re- actions of the salespeople About the middle of the afternoon they went into a store that special- ized in reproductions .of carly Amer- ican furnishings with a generous sprinkling of real antiques. "This 1s what we should have for our house," Janet said at once, "it's a Colonial house and it ought to have things just like these." Jimmy smiled at her, "He you are," he said, "now remember, we're going to furnish a great many | rooms this afternoon, don't skip any- thing. [ { Img na fwe will want when we m { house of dreams."

Jimmy pocketed the notebook with a smile of satisfaction, then went to join her in the earnest consideration of a Duncan Phyfe table. "It would be lovely any place,' Janet declared, "and it wouldn't jar with whatever else we bought for our | apartment. Look, Jimmy, it's just $99. Do you like it?" "I don't think you could find any- thing nicer to do with Smithers' money," he told her. I'm strong for it.
