B—10 DAILY SHO! RT STORY- STAY-AT-HOME A Marriage Career Did Not Enter the Plans of a Young Woman Who Wanted to Travel. BY KATHERINE HOWARD. ILEEN looked with delighted eyes at the book before her. Within it was en- compassed all the things she had worked for these last 15 months. Two thousand dol- lars—all hers! Tt made worth while all those long months of steady writing: writing sometimes all day, and sometimes far into the night. And all free-lance stuff, too; no contract Jobs. The checks had suddenly started coming in; one for a short story, an- other foi a feature article—until that blessed $2,000 was amassed. And now she sat with a steamship folder before her, smacking | figurative lips in anticipation of the | terribly sorry, Don,’ adventure that awaited ner in far cor- | pulsively. “Right now lnis trip means | everything to me. it for so long.

The eyes of this young and nice looking doctor | said that he was in love with Eileen. “Sit down, won't you? You look tired.” Eileen had already seated herself and her eyes strayed once | more to the steamship folder. Don looked at ber silently for a moment. “Changed your mind yet?" he asked. Bhe stood up impatientiy. Oh, Don! all that.” He smiled wryly. “I guess we did.” Eileen sat down again. | continued wryly | “I'm an awfully good catch now, | Eileen. Got a new job.” She fingered the steamship folder wistfully. “I'm glad, Don—for you.| ‘What's the job?™ “Staff job at the Stark Hospital It's a wonderful break. I'm the envy of every young medico in the city.” The corners of his eyes crinkled hu- | morously. She said again, “I'm very glad.” | “I'd be able to support you in the | style to which you've been accus- | tomed. We could have a quiet little | home in the suburbs, with rambler | roses—that is, if you like rambler roses. How do you stand on ram- bler roses? Or wouldn'c you care to | be quoted”” She laughed. “No, Don,” she said I'm sorry, but I can’'t marry “Yeah,” he said, Then he gently. you.” He hardly gave her time to finish the sentence. “You say you can't: but do you know? So often we find ourselves saying, ‘I can't.” when with a little nonest effort the thing would be perfectly simple. You're too easily discouraged. You say ‘I can't’ too soon. Work at the thing, my girl. Where's your spirit?” This time she refused to laugh. Her eyes were serious. “Sorry, Don. You know how I feel. This trip—" “Oh, that,” he interrupted. “It won't last forever, will it? You can't spend your life globe-trotting A day will BUILDING MANAGERS CONCLUDE CONVENTION Clarence M. Turley of 8t.
