then to one of the editor about som ah thought w ma a bit with the wide group of women readers of the magazine altogether ahe was a really valuable young member of the editorial staff sally was e lot more than that she was pretty she dressed well and ahe was a thoroughly nice all- round girl w and then sally had decided that ahe wanted to marry david david didnt know this sometimes sally wasnt quite sure of it but ahe was always ready to admit to herself that at least she wanted to have a chance to refuse david if she definitely de cided not to marry him and in an office what could she do about it david never paid her any attention and thought sally that was nat ural and to be expected men you meet in business dont propose to girls they meet in offices some body had told that to sally lots of women had told it to her in fact in one way or another and sally believed it or at least she usually believed it and there were some men in the big organization of course who would ahe thought on encouragement probably like to marry her but not david the more ahe thought about it the more determined sally was to make no mistake m anything that was becoming so important to her sally was getting so that she saw davids blond head before ber in the subway crowds but she knew perfectly well he didnt use the sub way but commuted to long island she was getting so she shivered when her work took her to the big art department room so that she blushed if he happened to ride up or down in the same elevator with her and so that she noticed what kind of necktie he wore and whether he looked tired or happy so sally being a practical sort of young girl took herself definitely in hand she made an excuse to hang around the telephone operators desk one lunch hour and by adroit ques tions found out where david usually pent his weekends yeah said the girl stretching her tired neck and shoulders as she goggles on the top of his helmet and slipped off her headpiece when her o a w trtjeman
