It was an udusually, vusy Saiar- Gay morning in the . workroom, where cherry trees and rose garl- ands bloomed artificially, a great fale of hats was going on. The "wao- pman-who-waits ~till-the-last-minute'" was in all "Ber fmpatience de- manding that ber new hat be finish- ed mime A The Big workroom down at the very of Macartney's depart ment store was in a sad clumer. Page girls ran baek and forth with hats and Instruetions. The appearance of the head mil liner d¢aused a moment's stillness among the girls. One and all ad- mired and envied her. All kpew that once, long, long ago, she had sat down at the bottom of the store which she now dominated by hes knowledge and experience, sewing in hat Hnings at $5 a week. . "Gee, you wouldn't think it now to ree her," sighed Caroline Hay to Christy Collins. Christy merely. shook her head She had not a moment to lose. She was at best a slow worker. Carol ine could line a hat in half the time she took, Between them swung ap unshaded light. After a year Christy was beginning to realize that he eyes were not very strong. She had to bend lower and lower over hei work and that 'bunched her should ers and narrowed her chest Christy was slight, fair and deéli- cate. She had a great lot of bright, lovely hair that was always tumbl- ing over into her wide, near sighted eyes. Her parents had been office workers until their health failed, then they bad tried farming. But open air had not cured their ailment and they died, leaving Christy alone with nothing ti Hve upon. She crept back to the eity to a cousin she had. The cousin took most of her wages. There was no hope that Christy would .earn much more--if she liv- ed. She was so tired, sb sad, so homesick for. the country. Nights she dreamed that she went back, but she only awoke to another day at Macartney's She was 20 and this was all of life there was for her It was spring, too-- the time of romance and young dreams. Caro- line had hers. She whispered, Christy about it. He was a plam ber. Sometimes when Caroline wag talking about her plumber Christy thought of a clerk she had seen upstairs. He was at the cot- ton dress goods counter, where sh bad once bought some material for 2 shirtwalst. He was dark, with carmine touches in his cheeks and a frank smile. She had asked Caro- line about him, but Caroline knew no more than that his nance' was John Wilcox and that Me came from out of town. "Whyn't you get yourself a beau, Christy?" Christy shook her head again and her hair hid her blush. "It's easy as not," confided Caro- line. "Say, what do you think? 1 read about a girl that wrote her name On an orange wrapper and got a hushed by it. 1 wrote my nanie on a slip of paper and put it in a hat et el rs orm, lining and I got a Jétter from a mis-' to | siopury female: out in Obie that bought the hat.

The #irls who brou- ght lunches were not allowed to eat in the workroom, but there was a tiny room e@joining where wraps hung and where they freedom of speech and action for {he balf hour's nooning allotted them. Christy Began to munch ber © sand- wiehes and drink -her small measure of cold coffee. Caroline, muunificent ly supplied from ber mother's hand, promptly offered a drumstick.

She laid the drumstick dowh Christy's lip quivered, It seemed like charity, and yet she was hun- gry. "Thank you, Caroline, I'll eéat i," she said. Then came the out- bursts: "Oh, Caroline do you sup- vose I'll ever get beyond liniwg hits? Caroline laughed.
