"THE EVENING. STORY The Trousseau. T was not one of the stylish hotels, the old St. Seour. It was tucked away in one corner of the down- k‘wn district, its entrance almost hidden by a cigar store on one side and a florist and candy shop on the other, The lobby was contentedly shab- by in faded red plush, the elevator shot or down with creaking suddenness ':gun grinning little Joe swung “his ‘welght on the rusted cable. Pop Rid- dell would flip the register around from a signature, take the keys and, coming from behind the desk, carry suit_cases in the varied absences of Jim 'n’ Bertle. Jim 'n’ Bertle (almost one word) had been bellhops in the St. Seour when it was a mere fledgling in the hotel world. Either one of them took half an hour to get ice water to the third floor. ‘Traveling men came to the St. Seour— pudgy-footed, tired-eyed men with worn cases and a determined glossiness. Oc- casionally a lone school teacher or a family on a lark with three or four browned youngsters or an elderly farm- er and his wife, confused and uneasy in the roar of the town, would stop for a day or two. But always there was Miss Tinsey, and the dining room was her stronghold, She had been there when Hilda came, big, quiet-eyed Hilda, who bossed the other girls good-naturedly, jollied the drummers tactfully and welcomed strangers so that they felt the air of friendliness that always filled the|g sparsely patronized little place. Miss Tinsey was there first in the morning. She had her own table near the door. Hilda could talk to her be- tween times. .She ran to splashy &lt- terned blouses, agate rings and su loud laughter. She kept books in an aprop factory over near the river and lived in one of the one-fifty light-court rooms. And because she had no chick nor f_hlld nor kin, she took the girls for hers. Hilda first, of course. Some- times they went to the movies together on Sunday nights. Or they rode on a bus along the river to cool off after a sizzling day. Once Miss Tinsey di- vided her store of bargain handker- chiefs and spent two Sunday mornings under the electric light embroidering H’s in the corners. But she knew that pretty babyish Della was the oldest ul seven and hld s mother that was “up and down.” ‘That Mary’s kids had to be sent.out to the country for the Summer and Mary was worried about the baby. That Kit and her boy friend were ing to be married just as soon as fl: got another raise. 'And many a bit | ot sale-loot and careful parings from her own needs went to ease the mo- menu of calamity in the lives of “the ‘lxlx so comtemmon sat upon them when she announced one Sunday morning that she was checking out that night. “And I want you all to come up tonight when you get off. I've some- They were just a little nearer had one in three years. I've been sav- ing up and bought some of these and made some—" She began to hold up pink and blue lace-trimmed | under- garments, a couple of silk dresses, two p-m of ' silk gs, shiny patent pumps, “I'm lnln' oyer—to the Giltdorf—for a whole week! "I‘h: Giltdort,” gasped Hil crazyl” The others stared. “No,” shook her head slowly, “I'm not. !ve counted it all up. I‘v- nved $50. There’s a room for $4 has a peak at the pook—that'll be ‘2] And if T don’t eat very much and sneak away to town for a hot dog now and then I can make it, with a few tips, too. I've always wanted to get inside one of those big shiny plnces—!.he gold elevators and soft carpets and all. And novh l‘nl'!k‘om‘ho iggled Kit, e a_honeymoon,” 3 “with trousseau and all.” i She left in a taxi. And the wonder- ing and conjecture and joking and sense of vacancy that she left behind her filled the days unm ‘Wednesday morning. Then when Hilda came in with a pile of reserve napkins on her arm there at her own table sat Miss Tinsey. Hilda blinked and stepped back into the doorway. “Come see if you see what I see,” she called out lnw the kltchen “I couldn't stand it,” Miss Tinsey told them with one of her unhampered laughs. “They were all so high-hat I lidn’t have any one to talk to—at first. Even the waitresses stuck up their noses almost to the edge of their dinky little caps when I started to talk to them. The folks were all so smooth and slick—and—and—varnished. And, my goodness, they're just like us! There was a swell girl looked enough like Della to be her twin. And yesterday she squeaked out in her glazed little voice “Oh, .oh! Isn’t she preclous!” and I di?nul need any ncelving station to gel “But I got to tell you, T met my sec- ond cousin’s stepbrother, Henry. He's been left a lot of money—§10,000—and he was doing the same thing I was. Always wanted to see what the big places was like. And lonesome, too, Just like me. Well, we got to talking out on the porch and—and—it is going to be a trousseau, with one of you ‘to come see me every vacation. He's got | & Teal nice big place up in Ridgeville.” (THE END.
