grace for the tenth time ihat evening cut that out about my not un- dtritmuling said frank not with out some courtesy i understand whai you think you mean your mean that you think just because you have spent four years in college and have come off with a degree- you are too well educated to be my wife rot and rubbish what i ilso understand is that i love yon v ry much in spite of your foolish notions and that you are not the sort of girj grace baldwin who is fjonfc to be content with just a career if thats what you call it i 11 always go on caring a great deal for you frank she said only now that i ve got my degree i really think i ought to use it i can t give up my ideals even for you frank grace wanted to succeed in some sort of business she had special ized in economics and had taken several courses in finance and on the whole felt that she would be an aset to any banking house or other estjblisnment needing business abq- it of the first order so one fine diy she went to the city carrying with her some nice little letters of introduction to officers of several tunks which she had begged from t e president of her home bank as for the bank officers they ditln t even take the trouble to see her grace was told that she would have to send in a request by mail ff r an appointment if she really v shed to see triem then one day she managed to sec mr george vice president of one of the bus offices to w she tutdct5niriea to get a letter of m- t oduction i don t want any on around litre to help run ih s business he i ii nfter she iad hotjlly re- i id her qualifications our i vroll is luu oif as it is no- i o s really intcrtsad they just a their own little jobs and draw liilir salar es and hurry home at fvt do you think any of the girls around here u uld take it upon tl i mselves to see thatmyprivate i lice was kept tidy not much- all thc d hil to do would be to kc p ifter the cleaning woman mh after hours once in a while to tl al she did the work but no 1 ey wouldn t think of such a ii int pcihaps what you have said wiitx give me an idea grace said one or iwn of the other men via t ilktd to seemed to have trouble of somewhat the same sort but when grace reached her home that weekend she was tbem- ouehly discouraged true she haa a little plan in the back of her mind but when she came to consider it it didn t seem so very good after ill late that saturday afternoon she telephoned to frank 1 m sorry i said what 1 did t you she said maybe it is cow ardly but i m going to ask you to live me another chance you see 1 don t believe that there ever would be a chance for me in the bigbusi- ness world why the only possible chance i saw was to turn to and keep offices clean honestly 1 actually worked out a sort of scheme of hiring some cleaning women and opening a little office to take contracts for cleaning of fices and personally supervising the whole matter i wrote to mr george about it but nothing came ev n of that so frank if yon want me you can have me and of course frank took grace in his arms beyond measure pleased to find her in this humble frame of mind a few days later came a letter signed bj mr w m george 1 didn t see any chance of giving you a job said mr george but since reading your letter and con sidering your plans for an office- cu aning agency i think perhaps we could come to some agreement x see you have brains and courage i in interested in your plan and would be willing to back such a ven ture and finance it we could make it a sort of side issue meantime you could be of real use to me here in this office and 1 guess i could mention a salary that would appeal to jou grace read the letter at first wttfc eagerness this mr george she had found out was a thoroughly re hnble business man of high standi ing and he had appreciated her qualifications he really felt that he could make use of her grace rosiest ambitions were beginning te come true and yet grace reread the letter and put it in her desk she wo a u tarf ththeday meantime ihw must keep her appointment with frank they were going to consult with an architect about building a little dovecot for two fruit and vegetable specials until saturday night
