Story of an Unemployed Girl VW
CHAPTER 44
"COULD YOU advance me a couple
of dollars?" the girl who complained
about not having a wave asked Mrs.
Bertram. “You see, I couldn't go
around office buildings with my hat
off without a wave."
The keen, shrewd eyes of Mrs.
Bertram took on an you-can't-out
smart-mc-young- woman expression.
Tnt afraid not. Kell a few maga
zine subscriptions and you'll have
enough to get your hair done. I'll
put you to work now—"
The girl started putting on her hat.
"I guess id better try looking for
something else. You see, I haven't
my money—at all. Spent my last
>n the subway here."
But you could ace the wise Mrs.
Bertram wasn’t convinced.
The girl stood up. “You don’t be
icve me! You won't believe nif when
I tell you I haven't eaten since yes
erday noon, cither! To hell with
von.'"
A*d she slammed the door with a
vang as she left
Mrs. Bertram turned to Lillian and
'lve with a sort or laugh. ‘These
York girls—tell you anything to
;ct something for nothing."
Lillian and Eve were silent. They
new better than to doubt the truth
<f the departed girl.
A small frizzled-halred girl came
tito the room. Mrs. Bertram greeted
ur as “Dorothy" and said: “Show
lies* girls your sales line. Dorothy.
I'hey're going to work with us."
Dorothy snapped Into It. taking a
hair and crossing her knees in their
Inn stockings. In a warm voice she
K-gan—“Oh. you're Mr.—r— oh,
•>mith, I know!" she laughed.
“See. girls, sne gets your atten
ion. Dorothy’s one of our best girls.
Traveled with u* for two years,
wiped organize groups of girls In the
urger cities, from Florida right
hrough Tennessee, on to Massa
husetts and here. Tell the girls,
'orothy, how much you vc made In
i single day—“
"Forty dollars one day.' chirped
‘orothy, turning on her wide painted
mite.
It all seemed so easy. Lillian and
Ac were as attractive as Dorothy, at

B.v folding their soft hats they
■mild hide them in the sleeves of
iheir coats. And they hung their
.•oats over their arms.
The building they selected was
near Forty-second street—filled with
jffices. with “busy business men."
“How did you get in here?” one
gruff looking man asked as Lillian
•'topped in o his office.
She made an effort to turn on the

toward his big uesx. it was no tea*
a marvel to her that she had man
aged to walk past the receptionist
outside his office.
“You're Mr. Dodson, aren’t you?”
she began. She had seen his name
painted on the frosted glass doer
panel. Also, that he was "president"
of the Wear-Good Hosiery, Inc.
“Yes.” he said, not responding to
her smile.
“May I sit by you for a minute—”
She made an effort to move a large
over-stuffed leather chair. The chair
was too heavy. She sat in It. acror.a
from him.
“What’s this?” he asked. haJf ris
ing. pushing back a pile of papers on
his desk Irriiailon in his manner.
His face a little flushed.

“What're you salting, young lady?
Magazine subscriptions?"
Lillian’s nerve failed. Her face
went red. She got oti her feet. If
she was going to ask charity she
could do it better on her feet. It
would be charity to plead with this
man . . to advance two dollars
for signing his name.
"I thought so!" he said, his eyes
fastening on her from behind thick
glasses. “Now let me tell you some
thing. I’m busy. And I don't want
magazine subscriptions and—"
“Wouldn’t your wife be pleased—"
Lillian ventured.
"I haven't a wife, thank the Lord!”
he informed her.
"I thought—"
He stepped to the door and opened
it and called; “Miss Howell!”
He receptionist who had been all
absorbed in a telephone conversation
when Lillian slipped past her Into
her boss’ office, came to the door.
"Why did you allow this young
woman to come into my office? You
did not announce her. 1 don't want
to see any pedlars . they're
not allowed in this building I’ll re
port you. young lady!"
Lillian said: “Please . . ."
"Didn't you see a sign In the lobby
by the elevators saying “Beggars and
pedlars not allowed T’
LlHian said: “I’m not begging. I'm
trying to work. Mr.—"
“Well, my time is valuable and—”
"Mr. Dodson she slipped into jour
office. T didn’t even see her" The
receptionist looked arrogantly, con
descendingly at Lillian.
"I ought to report you to the su
perintendent—” the man said, but his
temper was subsiding, “and I will if
you don't hurry on your way."
Lillian hurried.
What if he reported her? She
might be arrested Frightened, dis

THE C. F. SAGER CO. * RICHMOND, VA.
Her hands vromotoa ana nee Knots
felt aa if they would told up with her
any second. Bhe dropped down on
the steps while she pushed her dark
hair under her hat.
Even when she was out on the
street she could hear the harsh, mean
tone of that voice.
She waited at the entrance of the
building for Eve. aa they had
planned. Forty-second street was
bright and sunny. Expensive cars
whirred past, carrying well-dressed,
well-fed people . . . pretty, laugh
ing girls on their way to matinees,
just out of warm, luxurious room*
probably with the pleasant
taste of luncheons still In their
frtouths.
She turned away and looked into a
plttt»* glass window. Her heart ached
a little for herself, for Eve. for'the
thousands of girls like them. Her
spirits, so buoyant a few hours be
fore. now were almost at rook bot
tom - i
She became conscious of someone
at her ellxiw. She could see the
reflection In the glass window. It
was a stoop-should«red old woman. •
“Will you help a little, miss? Only
a few cents. I'm hungry—"
Her faded hair was drawn neatly
from her kind aged face. There was
a hint of better days about her coat,
with its darned elbows and skimpy
collar.
“I’m sorry—” Lillian said, trying
to draw her eyes away from the
kindly, aching ones of the old lady.
“Miss—you don't understand how
it Is to be hungry. You. with your
pretty clothes, your mouth. Only a
few cents, miss—”
Lillian’s eyes filled
“My room is paid up for tonight-—'•
the old lady continued, “and I
thought if I could get something to
eat for today—”
"What then?" Lillian asked. "What
will you do then?”
"There’s the gas—sometimes [
think It would he easier than asking
help from people who don’t under
stand how it ts to be hungry."
Lillian dug quickly into her purse
and gave the old lady a quarter.
"Bless you. my dear,” said the old
voice.
Lillian turned away from her. She
wished Eve would come on and they
could walk in the park or do some
thing that would not remind her of
the depression.
Eve came and they walked In
Bryant Park. They sat on a bench.
They tried to talk about the bright,
cheerful sunshine. But it was noon
and they were hungry. And it was
cold despite the sun. The leafless
trees of the park offered no shelter
and the ■ down-and-omeni sitting
about on the benches tittered w th
crumpled newspaper* failed to lift
the'r spirits
