Fhn-stuped wrinkles of amusement kept reylng out from the comers of her eyes. In the midst of being invited by this newly formed party, which was ultimately to come into power, to become first women oandlrlate in the city’s history for the office of mayor, quirks of suspicious mer- rlment danced at the ends of her mouth. The Honorable Lee Bowies. in- surgent and disgruntled Democrat and cofounder o! the Ivierger party, was not alert to this, the discourse which he had previously rehearsed with his colleagues proceeding with- out interruption other than the loud and frequent clearing of his own bothered throat. “...our conviction that the time is ripe for a woman candidate for mayor of our great city. This would not be possible if an arrest- ing and vigorous person such es yourself were not at hand. Your part in the civic life of the comm- unity, while not that of the poll- tlcinn, has been long and honorable. Your candidacy will not only YW"! the attention or the entire country upon our new party. but. will serve to prove to our (ast community that here at last ls n party that riislnterastedlj; wants the best man for the office, even though that may be e woman." When the Honorable bee Bowles delivered that last he sat beck tasting the words, jerking his waist- coat and looking about at his com- mittce, who nodded him affir- mation. Then, gathering wind: ....Ml,=s Amcs. even though, n! a figure well known in the social. professional and civic life of our city, you have coveted no public office, you are. by very virtue of that fact. along with your out- standing gift for leadership, qua- lified for this grand opportunity. Miss Ames, we consider you Number One timber for the first woman mayor o! this city. As chairman pro tcm of the party which aspires to sponsor your candidacy, permit me tn extend to you the invitation lo become the Mergers candidate for mayor." A spatter of applause broke from the assentlng committee and the lower lip of the Chnrlottcnburg moved forward into the shelf. “That's a heck of an idea. Who pmvned it nff on you‘? This WWY- mny need a good five-cent else!’- but it certainly can get along and will if I have anything to sav. without a, she mayor.

The Honorable Lee Bowles duct- ed off his kncvs and rose. "All you have succeeded in doing. Mil! Ames, l3 to further convince us that you are the man for the of- fice. We refuse to return to head- quarters with your final refusal.” "Sierra," suddenly called file Charlottenhurg." is that you? Oflmtr ln here a second.

"How do you do. 1 can think of no better choice for mayor,“ she replied in quiet unsurprised tones, "and of no greater mistake than to accept it. How do you do, Miss Rudziwell, Mr Bou-les, Mr Bates. Glad to know you, Mrs. Mason. Mr. 0'Rcilly. May I have a cup of that good hot tea to drink e toast to the excellent judgement of Miss Ames who, I take it, in in the act of declining the honor?"

But even if I didn't agree with Miss Ames, which I do, I'd follow her intuition. Her sense of timing is magnificent." "well, have it your way. but your Charlottenburg the Magnlil- cent is certainly missing nn [p- pointment with destiny this time." The Charlottenburg emitted s parting guffsw which followed the departing committee down the stairs. "It won't be the first time. This old maid long ago missed her supreme appointment with destiny. Every old maid does." There was cnly firefight in the Chsrlottenburfs office when Sierra returned to it.
