PAGE FOUR YESTERDAY: Eileen Gardner Just has sent her would-be fi- ance Jordan Estili packing. She has decided that she must take @ chance that her job singing on an obscure radio station will lead to a better job in New York, and that it may reestablish con- tact with the handsome stranger she knows only as Martin, But now she and the Weigands, who own the station, have quarreled just when a New York company has shown interest in her work. Chapter 12 New York—or Bust! Moy poked her. “Wait, kid. Think it over. Give ’em our answer in half an hour. You practically have ’em on toast,” she added in a whisper. “Come along.” “Yes—think it over, my dear Eileen,” Mrs. Weigand said. Eileen, still angry, said, “All right. I’ll let you know, then, Mrs. eigand. But I don’t think Pll change my mind. It’s all pretty horrid.” The girls went out, “Now,” Molly pointed out, “the thing for you to do is to come k into our nice cool palazzo, and figure out the strategy. I think I have an ice thermos and some coke. Come along,” she said again. Once inside, the girls lying on the couch and drinking the iced stuff, Eileen was able to relax, and see the amusing side of the absurd scene. se “It’s like this,” Molly pointed out. “And believe me, you get all the dirt in Piute about the Wei- gands. Mrs. has to think that everythin’ belongin’ to her is won- derful and perfect and sought af- ter. And lookit what she’s got. And what she’s got, being male, doesn’t need much buckin’ up to #hink himself perfectly entrancin’. His one outlet is this occasional Yeaching. They put on this brain- storm about once a season, and it keeps ‘em both believing in them- ves. selves.’ “A)l right. That doesn’t make it y. nicer for mi Eileen said jortly. “I’m going.” Molly sat up cross-legged. She dropped her bottle, and fixed her eyes on her friend.’ “I been earnin’ a living since I was fifteen. You just started,” she “You got looks and brains and drive, but you don’t know all I know, stands to. reason. If you quit now, you aul your first job under a cloud. Besides, this is a bad time. Nothing doing in most lines. Of course you can go back anid stay with your aunt. But the concerts in Denver won't happen till October. Your friend Jordan Estill—what about him?” “Teaching summer school in Boulder.” “Just so. Muss up his plans to get married, I should say; and in- structors have to watch their step too.” “’m not marrying Jordan,” Eileen interrupted. “You could use your savings w going back to live with Auntie. If she isn’t taking a course herself somewhere, I don’t know middle- ed schoolteachers—or else a ” Rie was a trip. Yosemite.” “Uh-huh. Now listen, baby. Hold on another two weeks, and then go back to Denver, where the boy friend and the jobs and the aunties will all be waiting. Also you'll have kept your con- tract, and got a little piece of roy- alty on those recordings. And left no smell behind you with these freaks. Just carry on and then go} back with a halo and pick up the|™ Denver concert work. Don’t be silly.” Bileen rose and began to walk | and down. Molly was probably | right. But—Denver—which meant | Jordan. Well, after all, fate “T suppose so. I took & down with all the rest, you know how you do. You don’t pay attention” She read it aloud to Molly. “But I did sign my last name.” __ Molly said, “Look here, Eileen. You're a bright girl, most ways, | but on this point you’re goofy. Forget it.” Eileen scarcely heard her. “Why did he say that?” she de- manded. “Did you leave my name off?” “As heaven is my witness, no, I did not. So if you want the an- | swer, here it is, Your mysterious stranger thinks you're getting too serious, Also your mysterious stranger has reason for learning caution where the gals are con- cerned. He likes ’em. Anyway, he’s pointing out, with as much politeness as possible to a nice lit- tle girl that did him no harm, that she’d better go on with her knit- ting, and let Mysterious Martin ly away.” 4 i “IT don’t believe it. He said, ‘I always keep my word. And I tell the truth, Aside from that I prom- ise nothing’.” ; “Oh, rats,” Molly said resigned- ly, demon in human form saw to it your last name was lopped off the cable. Or probably I forgot it. Or one of the Weigys did. Anything to save our hero's faith. Not inter- ested.” She took a long pull through her straw. Eileen stood up, eyes bright. “And one of those things may have happened. At any rate—” “At any rate you're going back | to Denver here and now? Oh well, I don’t suppose it will make much difference in the long run,” Molly said. “Anyway, kid, I’m for you. You’re a swell girl, anybody that would stand up for an unknown redhead the way you did for me when you blew in got her a friend for life. All right, go on back to Denver. I'll miss you.” “I’m not going back to Denver. I’m going on to New York City with you.” Molly jumped up, dropping her bottle with a crash. “What?” “I'm going on to New York | City. I'm a good stenographer and | typist; and what's more, and more | important, there’s a chance for me on radio if they wanted to rent those recordings, I’m going to try for it.” Molly stared at her. “My dad used to tell me about a man named Steve Brodie who took a chance. It seems Beam ed off Brooklyn Bridge, and lived to run_a saloon.” “Well?” “Well—I wouldn’t know. Me, T'm just a redheaded stenog that works like a dog and plays safe, Gal, didn’t you ever hear about there was a depression?” “Yes, But everybody says it’s lifting. Things are on the up-and- up—” Eileen said. “And even if they aren’t—I’m eine Molly argued no longer. She only said wearily, “And what, may I ask, are you using for money at the moment?” Ejleen said resolutely, “The last three hundred dollars of my fa- ther’s insurance.” Molly whistled. “That’s more money than I ever saw together in my whole life... . Look here, kid, if you’re the chance-taker you seem, I know a way to get us East and not have it cost us much, We can get a flivver, secondhand, for half that. And the Papoulos boys know a garage where we can sell it again for what it costs, So all it will mean will be gas and oil to drive to ew York. Game?” “Sounds like a lot of fun,” Eileen said, “if you're sure.” The Parting T WAS characteristic of Eileen that she did wild things in a methodical way. also seemed to mean Jordan. Cer- tainly, stay or go for the present, | the path seemed to lead back to| Denver — an occasional piece of | concert work—possibly a secreta-| rial job like the one somebody else had taken, for a while—and Jordan. “T guess I'm craz Molly; “All right.” Molly said anxious!)

It jalso answers the perennial hot | weather question of how to have good fresh cake without the both- er of home baking. The baker who designed this package first bakes a large size two layer gold cake and fills and ices it generously. in the favored home style. Then he departs from regular packaging routine by di- viding the cake into eight equal portions. Each portion is placed in a separate compartment and the entire cake is covered with a replaceable cellophane wrapper which is held to the base of the tray by a cardboard collar that |snaps off and on again Thus, if the housewife wants to {serve two or three portions, she snaps off the collar, lifts the cello- phane wrapper, and removes the desired number of servings. To preserve the rest of the cake and keep it moist and fresh, she mere- ly replaces the cellophane wrap- per and snaps the collar on to hold it firm Because of large scale manu- facturing economies the baker sells this cake for less than it would cost to bake at home. And in addition to their thrift features the new packages save time and labor and give the housewife more leisure—something she can al- ways use to good advantage.
