THE GIRLS APPROVE GERRWS PLAN

CHAPTER 106.

For days rI did nothing but plan and figure. I would say nothing to Rober: until I had everything so‘ plain in my own mind that I could answer any questions. combat any objections he might make.

Then I asked Betty, Jane and Mary to lunch with me one day. i

I did not mention the subject! until we were all through l" “ ,- und were coizly seated in the living NIOIII,

“What. shall we do now, bridge?" Betty asked.

“No, girls, this is to be a talk- fcst. I want your advice.”

"Listen to her! The most capo» ble one among us wants our ad- vice! Gee, (lorry, has it come to this? It almost makes me weep. Mary, of course, had spoken.

"I'm not joking, Mary, girls. I

ulav

want a good talk with all of you about something l have in my mind. Carson put It tbore, so Jane should bo interested. any- way."

"I am, and awfully curious." t

"Don't interrupt me until I flu- isb," I looked at Mary. “Then I want each of you to tell me just exactly what you think."

"I'm exploding with curiosity," Betty exclaimed, hitching her chair closer.

“Girls, what would you think if, I went into business again?"

If I had thrown a bomb-shell into.‘ their midst, their surprise would have boon no greater. Mary looked’ amazed, and almost sick. I know when I looked at tier, she thoughti I meant going back to the shop.‘ and so spoil everything again for Robert. But she said nothing, and l went on:

"You remember that night I fix- ed your hat, Jane?" .

"I guess I do. 1'was a sight in

it, and now it is as becoming as any hat I ever hnd." ' '

"I expect you have forgotten whnt Carson said when we left.

Ho caid I had better collect my pay beforc I left, and that a travel- ling artist. should have a pay-Orr‘ delivery sign on him. Then he turned to ma and asked me what I thought of his Idea: ‘A travelling artist in hatsfl"

“I begin to see daylight," Betty, murmured. i "It hasn't been out of my mind for two weeks. Girls, I am not happy. I may as well confess. I haven't enough to do. I am work- hungry! You see, ll have always been so busy. It takes me an hour or two to do my work, and than I ‘JIIVG a long day before me. It is getting on my nerves. At times If want to shriek. Now the only thing’ that will help me, is to flnd some- thing to do in those idle hours- somarlilng that will not interfere with keeping a homo for Robert, or. giving iiim my time whenghowisl at home." I looked at Mary whose face had brightened as I went on: "And you are going to travel: around and trim hats?" Jane ln-i

terrupted.

"Don't be so blebean, Jane. See hero's rho card I have designed—‘ if Robert approves. After you girls- tell me what you think, I shall put it up to him to decide." Mary now fairly beamed her approval of me.

I had selected an oblong card, with a dainty poke bonnet in the corner-l did it in water colors.‘ Then I had my name, like this:'

Madame Geraldine, A Travelling Artist in Smart Chapeaus. g Working hours, 11 to 4 o'clock

-I passed the card to Jane, and she handed it around to the others.‘

"Gerry, you are absolutely bril- liant!" Betty's enthusiasm was very encouraging.

“It wouldn't infere one would it, Gerry?" Mary "hours 1l until 4."

"You see, girls," I broke in. "Rob-l crt leaves every morning at 8.|

TELLING ROBERT CHAPTER 107.

As was always the case, Mary spoke first.

"I think it is great, Gerry. You can have all my hats to trim andl make. If I sold hats for a thou- sand years, I couldn't trim one."

"That's because you never learn- ed the trade ns I did."

"I don't believe Robert will ob- ject," slro went on. "I don't see, bow he can. You are doing nothing that will make him wait for his meals. or keep you out when he Isl at home—oniy. Gerry, don't take‘ too many customers."

"No danger of that!" I may have trouble finding any."

"Nonsense," Betty exclaimed.‘ "Here's one right here. My hats seldom suit ma because I don't feel‘ we can afford the smart shop prices."

"I would rather have a hat You! fixed for me than any I could buy.

“That's long practice, Jane." "No such thing. It's being an l artist. She's just what Carson said, ‘An Artist In Hats.’ " Mary flat- tered.

“You are going tn prove that a woman can make a home and also be a business woman, aren't you. Gerry?" Jane spoke very aoberly. "I have always thong-ht It could

Carson is so opposed to it. I have never seriously considerd it, however."

“And he was the one who started Gerry off," Mary laughlngly de- clared.

"Well, girls, so you approve?" I asked after a little more dis- cusslon. '

“We sure do!" It was lvlury speaking. The other glrlscmphati- cally assured me they loo believed I could manage to make it asuc- cess.

They insisted upon helping me with the dishes, which I had left on the table while we talked, then lcft me, full of happy thouglllfl about my plans yet in a. way dread- ing to broach the subject to Rob- ert. But he himself made it easy for me.

“I walked up with Carson," said." "that's why I am late."

"What did he have to say? Jane was ovcr today. Betty and Mary, too.” ,

“He spoke of you. what exquisite taste you had. I guess I brought it on by blowing about how you had helped mo at the store, and telling him of the difference in the windows since you had taken bold of them. We nearly always have a lot oi’ people admiring them; and it brings a good many inside to

"What else did he say?" I was wondering if I had better wait until after dinner, or tell him while we were eating.

"Oh, he praised the way you planned Mary's wedding present and fixed lane's hat. I slian‘t tell you any more, you'll be too puffed up if I do." '

“Robert, I have a plan. That's why the girls woro here today-do talk it over I knew if they all approved, it must be a good one, at Icast a feasible one. It was Carson who put it into my head."

"Spring it."

ROBERT AGREE-S CHAPTER 108.

"You want to do this, Gerry?" Robert had studied the card, vary- ing emotions chasing each other across his face. They were as easily road as if ho had spoken. First, disappointment, than u sort of resignation, followed by a look that said "perhaps It would work out."

"Yes, Robert. You see, dear. I have too much time. I may get into mischief. I have heard some- where that a man named Satan lot busy with idle people." would not be so serious about it. Perhaps ii I made light of things in some way, Robert would more quickly r-ee just how feasible my plan was.

"You have the houscwork.~—"

"It only takes me a couple of hours. Plenty of time left for lllr. Satan."

"But won't you overdo and get sick if you attempt this, In addi- tion to all you are doing?"

"No Robert. I promise I won't overdo. I also promise that neither the house nor my work with you at the store will be neglected in the least. You see, I shall take no work excepting in those hours I have mentioned. I love my busi- ness Robcrt; I always hnve. I shall charge good prices-if I get the customers, I can got the prices —und it will help us buy a home

like Mary and Gardner nave."

"All right, dear. I'm not really convinced that it will work. but 8o ahead and give It a trial."

I saw he was still doubtful, as he bud said, so for an hour we dis- cussed it. I talked as I had to the girls. I told him that because I was a good business woman I bad been able to systematize my house- work from the beginning, had been able to use common sense in my marketing and cooking, and that it had also left me too much time.

"They used to say at the store that I ate work," I Iaughingly told him.

"You were often very tired."

“Yes. but this will be very differ ent. I shall be out a good deal, going from one place to another. Even if they want me to bring the work home, ll shall have to go after it and deliver it when finished."

b ‘t‘That part will be good for you, u in

"You fear if I bring work home I will lot it interfere with-us-our —Ago0t1 times together?" I had read his thoughts again. "It won't dear. I shall observe those hours, absolutely, ll until 4, whether I work at homo or out."

"lf you will stick to that I can see no objection to your plan. I. want you to be happy and con- tented, Gerry. But I want my homo and my wife too. You have shown me that my dream could come true, my dream of u home with you in it. Andi"

"You shall always have a home. and I shall be in it-—unless you put me out." We were getting too serious again. "How do you like my cards?"

"Bully——l don't know that you will agree, but I rather like Cur- son's expression better, ‘A Travel- ing Artist in Hats.’ Seems to be more euphonlus than ‘A Traveling Artist in Smart Chapcaus.‘ But you know tiest."

“I ‘believe you are right, Robert. It is shorter to. I had sort of an idea the other might carry the idea that l was expert, ‘but I don't. know. The shorter line looks better on the card." I had reached over and printed the shorter line on the back of the card. "See!" I passed it back.

"It does look better. Try it, and if it doesn't work, it is easily changed. That poke bonnet is great. You should have been an artist, Gerry, You are very clever with a. brush."

"I am an artist! An artist in hats." So it. was settled. Robert, 1

knew, still had misgivings. It was up to mo to show him he had no necessity to fear. I never would let my work make him unhappy, or in any way come between us~as It surely had when I was in the shop.

GETTING STARTED CHAPTER 109 Naturally, the girls gave me all

their work. And just as naturally, I could ‘not charge them as much as I did strnngersP-especlally since they insisted that on the days ’I renovated their hats, uiadc now ones, or designed neck ruffs for them, I have luncheon with them. So, to make us all feel comfort- abIe,I did all their work for just half what I charged others.

I had such good times when with them, too. The days I went . to

the other two down for luncheon, and sometimes she had all the boys there for dinner.

‘Work came to me very slowly, but once I gained o. customer, I kept her, and usually she recom- mended me to her friends. I re- call n. peculiar woman who told IIIBI ' '

"I shau't let a single soul know about you. Every time I get a good dressmaker, one who comes in the house, I lose her because I brag to my friends about her."

"But I work only very short hours, and if your work is satis- factory and I do it well. why ob- ject to recommending me?" I asked.

"Oh, they'll offer you more mon- ey or something, and you'll slight my work, or have no time for me."

I was indignant for a moment. thcnl thought "she Isn't a business woman, she has n. distorted point of view." ISU I returned quietly:

"I have one price for all, Mrs. Bluck—so much an hour, no more, no less. I am open for engage- ments; ihat is what I am in busi- ness for. If you want me, and tell me so, Ishail come to you. But if you wait until the last mo- ment, until my time is all taken, then I am not to blame if I have to disappoint you."

Part oi this remark of mine was at that time sheer bluff. I was not at all busy, but hoped to be, and was preparing the way.

"Put me down for one day a month, from 2 until 4. I don't. see why you stop work so early though, it you are anxious to get along." "I have u home to keep going as well ns my work," I explained, as I took my blank book from my bag and entered the day sho wished re- served for her. I did not care very much for Mrs. Black, but she had given me an idea. If several of my customers would engage me as she had done for part of one day every rnonth, I would be able to do more—and without constant- ly searching for new customers.

"I don't see why you try to keep house. df I could earn money I wouldn't he a slave to runnlns R house! But I couldn't do a thing. couldn't earn my salt, as they say, I always envy a woman who earns her own money, unless she happens to have her own separate income. It's horrid having to ask a man

"The fly in her ointment," t thought. But I made no reply. We all have something to endure, and this was evidently the skeleton in her closet, judging by the bitter- ness in her voice. -

She did recommend me to one of her friends before I left, in spite of what she had said. I called on my way home. and after I told her of Mrs. Black's plan, she also engaged me for two hours once a month. I charged $2 an hour, and the understanding was that they . should have everything all ready for me-that I was not to spend my time pressing ribbons, or steam- ing velvels. I was a designer and tri mar.

" hat will not be nearly long enough when I make a hat," I told her. "Although it is sufficient for trimming. facing, etc."

"I realize that, and Will trust to luck that I can occasionally get you for aionger time whenever I want a made hat," Mrs. Plait returned.

She was charming, and I felt quit happy as I hurried borne to get dinner for Robert.

"Well, how did it go today?" he asked as he settled himself with his papcr.

"Fino!" Then I recounted my ex- perience with Mrs. Black.
