CHAPTER. ll

Ruth Woodson stooped to pick up a. red maple leaf from the ground and realized that fall had come.

"Fall and no job yet!" Well, what could she expect when she'd not had a business course, or any special training? She'd heard countless stories of girls like her- self walking their shoes thin, and not getting anywhere. "And it's no idle tale, my girl," she murmured to herself as. she stepped on a peb- ble and felt its sharp prod against the sole of her foot. “These shoes have got to be half-soled soon, or I'll have stone bruises."

The shoes were trim enough to look at, however, and covered a shapely, well-arched foot. Nor were her fect the only points of in- terest which the_ girl possessed. She had a slender, nicely poised body and a face that made a passer-by want to slop and look again. Not be- cause of any startling beauty, but because of an inner radiance and a plquancy of expression that she wore .Tlre eyes were dark and nicely lashed. The hair was dark and waving. The nose was short and straight. the chin Square and between the two was a mouth that was too wide. like a small boy's but alluringly shaped. Today a brave dash of lipstick caused the mouth to match exactly in color tlic gay, blood-red leaf which she had just fastened in the lapel of her suit.

Ruth sat down on a park bench and opened the newspaper she had bought on the rcrner. She turned to the column that said ‘ "Help Wrnted, Female." She saw there was nothing new there-nothing she had not already followed up or eliminated as out. of her range. With a sharp little sigh she laid the paper down and lct her

thoughts run riot . . "I can't afford lunch today. Thirty cents saved is 30 cents made . . . I must go to one of the IO-cenls

stores and buy narcissus bulbs for Cousin Bessies birthday . . " Cousin Bessie, of the impending birthday. .W8s the widowed relative with whom Ruth lived in a small. artistic and very crowded flat in Brooklyn. Mrs. Lawrence read manuscripts for a tottering publishing house in New York and W85 very poorly paid indeed. with thi; inadequate salary she sup- ported herself, an 18-year-old daughter, and a. 16-year-old soil. For sOme months now she had been supporting'Rutlr Woodson as well. at least as far as food and shellxr- were concerned. It was this thought that made Ruth a. little desperate when she had time to

think about it, as she was doing now. "'1 I I O I Ruth had been “passed around

since hcr fourth birthday. George Wocdson, her father. had gone to his brave death just before the Armistice. Eleanor Woodson had eventually followed him, a; she had told him she would do. It took long months of grieving assisted by nervous exhaustion and pneumonia to turn the trick, but in the end she had died with a triumphant smile on her face and a feeling of release in her heart." Sh?! was off to find her lover

another grist-aunt whom Ruth affectionately recalled as “Aunt

old and. as sire naively expressed it at the time, she had “run out of aunts." she had also run out of money,.for the two old ladies be- tween theiu had invested the little competence unsoundly.

Ruth was then passed about among several eoualns of her parents with more speed than tact. A child of lass character might have been broken in spirit and have become a self-Q‘, 1, shrink- ing littlo introvert. Or ahe might have developed into a pushing. obnoxious little aggressive, snatch- ing advantage where she. might. But Ruth Woodson did neither. As her body grew straight and true, so did her naturally aunny dis- position. The knowledge that she was a moneyless orphan whom no one needed did not embltter her. 1t only made her a "little more watchful and well-manna ed than most children. she learned to squeeze into comers, as it were, and to make herself useful when she could.

When Ruth finished high school in the little upstate town when she had grown up, there was no job available for her, so abc came to New York -to the one relative who remained untried —Cousin Bessie Lawrence. The cousins in Worthvllle waved her off with finality and illconoealed relief, for they had brood: of their own». and they regarded Ruth as "a pro- blem-" The girl had an excess of high spirits and a. taste for adven- ture which upset and annoyed them. y

Cousin Bessie, to whom Ruth had come so eagerly that day two summers ago, was kindness itself. Unfortunately, she was also ineffi- cient and impractical She had spoiled her own two children be- yond reason, and she dashed from home to office every day, and back again like a rabbit persued by hounds-the hounds of work and debt and possible failure

l O I

Bessie Lawrence managed to

"give Ruth the wrong advice at

every turn. Instead of ‘arranging for the girl to borrow money for a. short and thorough business course or for some vocational training. she allowed her to take temporal-y, jobs for which she was unsuited and which soon'“petered out," leaving Ruth discouraged and dismayed. For weeks now she had noth- ing at all to do. The dwindling change in her pocketbook was there because she had been able to reline a coat for a wornari- ln the apartment above them.

Ruth got up from the bench to go and noticed that a. figure was standing in front of her. It was an exceedingly well-dressed man, noi- old, not young He was looking at her, and as she looked at him he took off his hat courteously.

He said, “I'm on my way w a late lunch at the Casino. I wonde if you will join me?" _

The casualness of the attack im- pressed Rut-h more than any maneuvering on his part would have doncNShe looked at him with interest and found him to be rather . handsome and impressive. He might even be a gentleman She though. “I'm hungry. lit- not? Besides, it's an adventure. Imaglre being asked to the Casino. just like that!" She'd never been inside the doors of course.

The man said, "Girl who look like Claudette Colbert expect to be admired by strangers, naturally.

Ruth again fell» a prick of admiration for his clever ness. she knew there was a haunting re- semblance to Colbert's faoe in her own .Thl". observing man might be entertaining. Certainly he was flattering. And then, struggling up from some deeper consciousness of her mind, there came this warning. like bell in some far away temple garden:

"Wrong things begin this way. Careful Ruth! You're about to be picked up. Once done, it gets easier and casicr!"

she looked at the man for a moment, coolly. Then she said to him. "I hope you'll enjoy your lunch. Don't let me detain you."

He smiled guardedly. "I'm sorry," he replied. "Now and then one tries the wrong girl. No offense, I hopr?"

“None at all," Ruth told him. “And thank you for saying I look like Claudette." She smiled as she turned and left hlm, but it was a clear-cut smile of dismissal.

In the 5-and-10 she bought l. chocolate bar when she selected Cousin Bessies narcisiua bulbs. The bar was her lunch, and she rame out of the store nibbling it. it tasted heavenly. Bhe had sold no part of herself to obtain it, not even her pride.

Spinsters’ Day , For New Yorkers

NEW YORK. Feb. 20——A New York St. Catherine's day. That is the plan of Ted Flo Rita, Paul Whlteman, Arnold Johnson, Enoch Light and other well-known orches- tra. leaders, as well as Lou White. organist. The aim, a spokesman for the baton wcilders said, is entirely altruistic. In France, it seems, St. Catherine ls the patron saint of splrmters. On St. Catherine's day the boulevards are cmwded with thousands of ponders in costume,

lng sewing kits and household necessities to show they are equipped for -' ‘lclty. It's a sort or annual leap year, since o. mademoiselle, if she ls so inclined, mo)’ POP the question to the man of her choice. Wedding bells are uppermost in the minds of the populace. In New York city there are 25.000 spinsters—l don't know who counted them-and the musl- clans want to give them a break by making the conunuriity matri- monlally conscious.

Soon after the idea. had been agreed on a delegation of musl- clana celled on Mayor Florello If. Lafluardla to get him to make the affair official. It was assumed that a mayor whose first name translates "Little Mower." and who is of Latin descent, would look kindly and warmly on romance, and especially matrimony. But it seems that the mayor, with tam- tlon, relief costs, unification of transit systems and a few like problems on his mind. refused to have anything w do with the mat- ter. That gavc the musicians i-he well-known pause. After mulling the matter over. however, they dc- clded to go ahead.

At the moment the plans for giv- lng those 25,000 splnsters a brcnk are far from being perfected. But there Ls talk of getlug-up petitions and having them signed by so many of the citizenry that the mayor would be forced to take cognizance of romance leading to matrimony. That having been done. the city having assigned the biggest armory available for the purpose. the musicians purpose giving a grand ball to Which would b0 lnvllkd eligible girls and boys, together with hostesses and every- thing, the whole affair to be free. the musicians donating their ser- vlote free, of course. And if such beginning is made, they hope even- tually that ln New York 5t. Cath- erine's day will take on theJamc significance as it has in Parts- and there will be a lot. more weddings. of course, weddings yrlth music would be preferable to the plain kind. _

Pilots Prefer Women Passengers

LONDON, Feb. 20—-Thc usefull- ncas of women in industry is highly debatable -— according to some authorities. mostly men-but no one can doubt that they will make excellent "alr hostesses" and "air muses‘ ‘after studying the conclu- sions reached by one of the big alr- lines.

Here they are: ‘

Women make decidedly better air travellers than men-they are less fldgety, ask fewer questions. obey instructions better. and milkfi no fuss when the suffer from air sickness.

. A study of passengers extending over- several years has resulted in that high praise for women.

The reasons for the superiority are that: .

Women flying for the first time relax quicker than men;

Women take bad weather n10"! calmly than men do;

Women are more careful when: they put their cigarette ashes:

Men demand more service and attention than women;

Men ask more questions;

Men get restless quicker women;

than

Men are more fussy about menus than gny woman on a diet.

Women, according to the same authorities. if air-sick, take it less seriously than men.

The qompanyls lalcst records show that only 50 passengers out of 21,000 suffered from air-sickness.
