PAGE FOUR SYNOPSIS: Determined to storm ~ the Atlanta business world. Cari Torran.3 plunges into her new job in Blake Thornton's advertising ‘agency. She thinks she will like the work; she knows she likes having her own small apartment and be- ing free from the claims of schooi teaching—which last was her sob the year before. And Blake Thorn. ton is a considerate boss. Caro: cannot help wondering about his wife Irma who seems to spend summers in the mountains, winters in Florida, and very little time with her husband. Chapter 24 FAIRLY SAFE “J'LL go as soon as I've finished this one.” said Carol. “If ! quit now 1 won't be able to remember tomor- row what | meant to say today.” She was aware for the first time of Laura's friendliness, so she said: “Thanks, anyhow. Couldn’t we have lunch together tomorrow?” Laura nodded. “Suits me fine. Well—toodle-o0.” “Goodnight.” She went back to the sheet before her. The door opened and Blake came in and wen. to a filing cabinet. He saw her and raised an eyebrow. “What are you doing here?” “Trying not t& de-rail a train of thought. I'm ieaving now.” “You'd better.” He grinned sud- denly. “I don’t want the NRA on my neck.” “What about yourself?” “Oh,” he drawled, “I'm an Exec. utive. 1 don’t count.” “I see.” She slipped the sheets Into a drawer and got up stiffly, realizing for the first time how tired she was. He said quickly: “Wait a minute and I'll drive you home.” She hesitated, and wondered if he thought that was why she had lin gered. He read the uncertainty and smiled. “Oh, 1 knew you're Come on.” In his car she relaxed, and re verted to her trick of absorbing sights and sounds. The streets were @ cacaphony oi protesting brakes and roaring motors and the unintel ligible shouts of newsboys. On the sidewalks people with closed faces pushed and hurried like chips on a moving stream, and in the ocea- sional eddies were lovers united, or shop girls exchanging confidences: “He said ... and so I said The sense of her own aloneness pressed down or her again, filling her with sudden despair. 1 wonder if I'll ever have a place here? she thought, and shut her ears to the answering: The odds are all against ft... Blake glanced at her once, and noticed the shadows of fatigue be neath her eyss. Her eyes and the shadows w2re almost the same color. He said impu'sively: “Look here, what are you going to do when you get home?” “Get a bath, eat dinner, read a magazine, go to bed.” “Sounds like my schedule. Why don’t we stop in one of those re- trigerated movie temples and cool off, then have dinner together be- fore I take you home?” The suggestion was like a hand in the dark. “It sounds pretty swell to me. Only don’t spoil me; the sooner | get used to my own company the better off I'll be.” “Well, you can start tomorrow. Tm sort of ted up with my own.” She wondered again about Irma Thornton, and decided that Irma was either superbly confident or completely indifferent. Blake wasn’t the philandering type; perhaps irma had placed her chips on that. Well, it was Irma’s business, not hers. She wasn’t the philandering type either. He drove slowly up Peachtree. “Here's Garbe. and Lionel Barry- more . “Let's ‘3 see Garbo.” They parked the car and plunged into the stream. Coolness breathed on them at the theatre entrance, and they went in and sat beneath burry- ing clouds in an improbable blue and gilt sky. innocent. ARKNESS had dropped on the city whan they came out, and the city fought the darkness with @ barrage of colored lights. Red lights that winked seductively, white Nghts that shone steadily, green lights that chased each other like squirrels in a cage. The air was milk- » and the throngs had thinned; had slowed their pace and lowered their voices to match the sense of time suspended that occurs ‘. between day and night. Blake said lazily: “Well, where do ‘we eat?” “Wherever you say. where it’s quiet.” “Right. The grill at the Merrimac ought to fit.” They walked slowly to the Merri- mac, and found the grill fairly eool and almost deserted. Carol ordered Let's go ;sliced chicken, a frozen salad! and iced coffee. SOCIETY s@OCCCO COP OR COB RAAPCCe i | He grinned quizzically. “Of course | it's none of my business and L know | pretty slim fare for a working, girl. | Whether you want it or ned: you ought to stow away an oceapional steak with a lot of potatees and vegetables. How about it?” “All right. You do the ordering then. I'm just sot very hungry.” The steak, when it came, was de licious, and she found that: Blake was right; ber appetite had been lurking around a corner :swaiting its chance. He looked grati'ied. “What did J tell you? Let,this bea lesson to you.” “Ail right.” She felt surprisingly meek. “I won't do it again.” Afterwards they drove out Peach- tree in silence, and he left her at the Sherwood entrance. She glanced at the towering facade. “Cosy little nest, whet?” cosy right now. Well—gx odnight.” “Goodnight. And thanks for a grand evening. She adde:d ruefully: “I'm always thanking yowu for some- thing. When will | ewer have @ chance ‘c do sumething 0 return?” He said roughly: “Oh, rot! You already have.” And turned quickly away. . Caro] laid several tyrewritter sheets on her employer's clesk, and tried to make her voice casmal. “Here are the first four, £ thought it would be setter for you to pass judgement before [’d done all of em wrong. Shall ! wait, or will you read them and then talk them over?” “Vil read them all first. I'll call you in a few minutes.” He picked up the first advertise ment with considerable curiosity. Blake read deliberately. When he had finished he put the pages aside, and refiected that they held the answer to his impulsive decision egarding Carol. The ads were good: a few rough spots. of course, and a few changes in make-up; but her idea was sound amd not thread~ bare. He rang for his secretary. “Tell Miss Torrance I'd like to see her.” Carol came in, and he saw the dread in her eyes. He nodded reas- surance. “They're all right. Sit down and let’s talk about them." He went through the ads carefully, suggest-! ing changes aad giving his reasons, for each change. “You can breathe now, you know.; I think the job's fairly safe.” His approbation almost unnerv- ed her. She said: “Once more—/ thanks!” and fled to her desk. ORNELIA FARRAR looked now! like a fashion illustration, but Carol's guess had been correct. They were able, at dinner on Friday, to pick up the threads snapped six years ago. Before the consommé was finished they had left the prelim- inaries to friendship behind them. Cornelia said tazily: “Of course i can guess why you're here, and sympathize with you, it’s the same reason why I’m working like a road- hand while there’s still money in the family bank account.” Carol sighed. “Don’t tell me you're: drifting too.” “Oh, yes! 1 tried everything 1 knew. Being a debutante, and anv gling to get my engagement book a little fuller than anybody else's. After Pd filled the thing for six months | threw it in the fire and broke all the engagements. { went serious and social-minded for the next six month, and that wasn’t mueh better.” “I'm surprised you haven’t mar ried,” Carol said frankly. “You've got’everything 1 takes.” Cornelia’s lip eurled. “It doesn’t | take much, The catch in that is that most of the eligible men are so rotten spoiled no sensible girl would have them. If there’s any worse training for a husband than being an eligible man fn a city for afew years | can’t think what it fs.”’ She shrugged the topic away. “In spite of which, you'll have to have some recreation. Suppose I have a dinner next #riday.” “Oh, heavens, no! I didn’t look you up to be launched: I just wanted to see you.” “I know you didn’t, you ass.” Cor nelia’s mind leaped on. “What about this job of yours? Do you like | ite” “I'm crazy about it—or think I will be when I get the hang of it. Blake Thornton's a grand guy to work for.” “Blake’s @ grand guy for any. thing,” Cornelia said shortly. “I think I'll ask him to the party,” Cor | nelia decided.
