But there isa vague chance that in New York she may meet again the hand- some stranger she knows only as Martin, and she already had seen quite enough of Jordan. Now Eileen, courage in hand, is about to begin the round of job- hunting. Chapter 14 “Nothing Just Now” iB was by now about the middle of September. It was warm enough to wear summer things, but Eileen dressed in her smart little dark taffeta, fussed longer than usual over all adjustments of make-up, hat, gloves, and walked valiantly out. The great building looked for- midable. Men and girls, going and coming, talking and laughing eas- ily, downstairs, somehow cheered her as she walked back to the elevator. Her letter from the Wei- gands—her own recordings—had secured her a personal appoint- ment with somebody named Gray-| py son. Somebody with a curt, pleas-| sh, ant voice, whose secretary also had a voice like that. “People are the same every- where,” she told herself to make her heart stop pounding as she|m reached the floor where she was to be interviewed. But it didn’t seem to do much good. The pleasant, brisk sinh at the reception; desk made hes wait, sitting “int a-row ‘among others on curved red leather seats, there in 4 ; Wide shall. Presently her name. Was spoken and, heart still pounding, she went to her inter- view with Mr. Grayson. He was easy to talk to; he had a warm swift friendliness which she was to find as characteristic of all radio people; the immediate, intimate manner of the _ stage, very nearly. But it was backed by less temperament. Mr. Grayson} was a businessman. Thin, dark, smiling, inspiriting, he wandered about one of the audition rooms—a room of padded gray splendor and_ incredible space—and said, “Yes, we liked your recordings. Of course, you know, we never advise people to come on to New York on the chance of anything here. Still, as you’re here, we may as well get your record—Mary!” Mary, as smiling, friendly and casual as her employer, drifted in from some adjoining spot and greeted Eileen. “Make out a card for Miss Gard- ner—” Mr. Grayson said, and Mary took a pencil from her blond curls, smiled sunnily, and took an exhaustive history of Eileen down | on the spot. “Sounds promising.” “Would there be anything —” eae now, no. But you never “Would another audition—” “Why, I think so. I have some time.” As casual as that. “Come along. Now. don’t be afraid—oh, of course you're not.” Mary laughed. “Mr. Grayson! He's so absent-minded. She’s been singing on a radio hour! I just) took it down!” “Of course. I’m a bit screwball. we mostly are,” Mr. Grayson said brightly. And with no more trouble than} that, beyond the summoning of a sound man, a little running about, Eileen had an audition. She had, hoping for the best, music. “Went nicely. Nice voice, nice personality,” Mr. Grayson cheerfully. She went away, walking on air. It was not until she was back with} Molly, excitely relating her story, that she realized that nothing def-| inite had happened. Still, as she| and Molly agreed, it was a lot to} et an audition right off the bat| hat way. It was on account of the Fepandings the network had! bought, of course. She did not have such good tuck with other'networks, except- ing that pn Molly's - suggestion, she ‘asked "Mr. Grayson’ to tele- phone a confrere in-a rival com-| pany, and he agreeably did, and got an interview.

Aristides, his big black eyes dreamy,.said, “Ah, Molly’s won- derful.” His smile was charming. Molly turned crimson under it, and openly squeezed his hand. “Well, if you can say that,” she said crisply, “after the way I’ve een hounding you about the op, you're a good kid, Ris.” He shrugged. “It’s for my good. You and Nick—well, I’m sort of your protégé,” he said, unexpect- coy, “IT guess it’s all right for Eileen could see that Aristides had been managed for his good all his life — passive, sweet-natured, romantic. Nick had been in charge till now; and now Molly was tak- ing over. Little Mrs. Bapoulos, whose Christian name was Myrtis, laughed. “Some folks boss and some get bossed,” she said, jump- ing up to clear off the plates and replace them with a sticky Greek sweetmeat which Eileen looked at in some dismay. “You and me, Ris, we get bossed, hey?” “Ris says you're swell,” Molly confided to her later. “He says he likes you better than any jhave beautiful eyes and hands.” “That's nice of Ris. I liked him, too.” “Nothing ever gets by Ris,” Molly said fervently. “I never no- ticed you had pretty hands. But he would. He's like that. Some- times I think he oughta been a writer or something. He does write poetry a little.” Odd Job ILEEN did not need to talk at all that night. When Molly had finished about Ris's personal per- fections, she continued about his prospective flower shop and his |plans for running it. He thought | he could swing it alone — with Molly running in from Nick’s shop time to time. Presently, of course, it would expard to the point of | needing twice the space and twice |the employees.
