| CHATTY
GODDESS OP CAS>:'
By Beatrice Burton, **y,
\ COPVRt&HT lata. CIHTgAL PRESS ASSK INC, CLEVELAND, QH>P,
(Continued from page 4) .
But Chatty’s voice earned no con
viction. Billie paid no attention to,
the defensive pretense.
“If It’s to do you any good, you’ve
got to be really honest. Chatty, dear
I love you. But I understand you.
You can’t hurt me any more, with
talk. You don’t mean to make trou
ble—at least. I've never known you
to do it for the fun of making it.”
Billie looked at her. suddenly
keenly. Chatty flushed. Memories
of the diary, the anonymous letter
come to her. Then she tossed her
head. “The truth never hurt any
body!" flashed into her mind. She
wouldn’t admit, even to herself, tha'
she was a trouble maker, a busy
body.
•'But you do make trouble—for
others and for yourself. Chatty
dear. Pehaps if you put it all
down on paper, you’d be shocked
enough to change—”
Chatty sighed. She wanted en
couragement. sympathy, not sugges
tions that she wa sat fault. She
changed the subject.
But when she got home that night
and shut and locked the door to her
room, she put a piece of paper and
a pencil on the desk and sat down to
write
She did not write. She Just stared
at the paper.
Before her eyes, words she had not
written took form.
# *T. I talked myself out of a Job in
the hat store.
“2. I stole pages from a diary.
“3. I sent them where they would
hurt.
“4. I got George Mayhew in trou
ble with Billie.
••5. I got Winnie into a mess with
Mr. Van Nuys.
"6. I set all the girls in the office
at odds with each other, by gossip.
“7. I told mother about Pud and
got him in bad with her.
“8. I lost my lover, my dear, deax
Dave—by not being what he thought
I was.
I listened in on his conversa
tions and made fun of him.
“10. I jumped to conclusions about
him and told a terrible tale to Mr
Van Nuys—'*
But not a word of this was writ
ten. And as each self accusation
rose in her mind, Chatty had a de
fense ready. She lied to herrelf and
believed it!
Some people are like that.
Cnatty was one of those people;
self-deceiving, self-deceived.
The result of sitting in front of
her desk for a bad hour was Just a
piece of blank paper, and a girl
who ‘decided that she was much
more sinned against than sinning!
Every one of whom she had chat
tered had deserved all that was
coming to them! Every one was
better off. because of the things she
had told!
‘ I am not a chatter box!” she
said aloud. “I just tell the truth—
or what I think is the truth—and

MEETING THE c

SPEED

jj IME is of vital importance.. • Speed is the
/ bottle cry of business. Telegraph wires hum
with "hurry up" messages. Airplanes flash
their way across the continent with impor*
tant mail. "Rush this through"is the constant
urge of shippers and receivers of freight.
"How quickly can I get there?" asks the
traveler. Success m6ans a constant battle
against time. • • . Speed is all important.

roadbeds, new equipment, faster, more

that gets me in bad with everyone!
Well, maybe I better begin to tell
things that are not the truth!"
But there was no comfort in that,
because a still small voice whispered
to her that that was her trouble
telling the truth and embroidering
and embellishing it with half
truths, untruths, things she just
thought or imagined.
Chatty didn't sleep much that
night.
When she did. a tender little
plttytng smile chased her through
her dreams.
Once she woke up with the pillow
hugged tightly in her arms, wet
with tears.
She was crying, softly: “David,
David!"
* • •
She rose early, washed her face
vigorously, and tried to powder out
tome of the lines and under-eye
circles. Then she picked up the
morning paper and began patiently
to hunt through the “Help Want
ed” columns for those who needed
PBX operators or filing clerks.
She needed a job right away. Her
mother was still not well, and the
sewing was. at best, an uncertain
source of income.
After breakfast she started out.
"I’ll have a Job by night, mother,
never fear!” she called.
The words were brave, but the
heart behind the lips was heavy
heavy with fear and a dull, sodden
ache that had nothing to do with
jobs or money or work.
It was caused by a little, pitying
! smile.
And Chatty knew there was no
cure for it. except its mate.
