Already she had lost the pretty color from her cheeks and she found it much harder to sell a waist than she she had the money to purchase what- ever she desired. “Did that woman buy the waist she was looking at?” questioned Nora. “No, after I had wasted a quarter of an hour showing her everything in stock she said: ‘These waists are beautiful, but I haven't the money, my dear.’” “That's the way it is with those ‘old hens,’” commented Nora. “They seem to have nothing on earth to do but to pester salesladies, and some women think because they have plenty of money it's their privilege ! to leave their manners at home.” “The very words ‘lingerie waists’ gives me a pain,’ admitted Harriett, | “I'm weary of trying to make a tmr-; ty-six waist fit a woman who takes size forty-four, when we happen to be out of her size.” “No, madam,” she said, tugning around, “we haven't any blue chiffon walsts with chenille trimming and gold braid. I'm sure she wouldn't buy one if we had it.” “What's the trouble with you? You seem so disheartened,” asked Nora sympathetically. “This is the first position I ever had, but I presume I can stand the customers. [ try my best, but the way a girl is treated just because she has to earn her living is disgrace- ful.” “You're too haughty,” advised Nora. “Be a little more agreeable. If the manager tells you to sell a waist fer all silk, sell it for that, and don't ex- plain to the would-be customer that it is only near-silk, sewed with near- silk thread, not made in a union shop, and that it is embroidered by ma- chinery and not by hand.” “Possibly I'm wrong, but no differ- ence what I do or say he, Mr. Mar- ston, the proprietor, always finds fault when he goes by .,this department. Either the boxes aren’t straight, or the waists are laid on the table crooked, or I should have made a sale; I went to lunch or came back too late. If my mother wasn't de- pendent upon me I'd leave this In- stant.” “Strange, Mr, Marston should be so critical. He is so full of business that he usually leaves the minor de- tails to his managers. Cheer up, you'll get used to it twenty years from now; you'll even wonder that you noticed such things as imperti- nent shoppers and critical employers.” “Twenty years from now, gracious! Don’t mention waists in connection with the future to me. I'd Mke to waste my time that long selling walsts marked down from $3 to $2.98, and others marked up from $2.98 to $8.98." “If you continue to dress in that convent fashion,” said the other girl, glancing admiringly at her own over- trimmed gown, “dress your hair in that absurd simple style, never put any color on your face when you look ghastly pale, and not make the least effort to please the men—" “Thank you for your well-meant advice, but the men I'm likely to meet in this business are mot the men I care to know socially,” commenced Harriett, who was interrupted by a young boy who said: “Mr. Marston you in his private office wishes to se immediately “Poor thing,” said Nora to one of the girls as Harriett, shaking like an aspen leaf, started for the third floor. “She is so refined. I wanted to help her, but I guess she is going to lose her position. Only recently they lost all their money. It breaks her moth- er's heart that she has to work.” As Harriett entered the spacious office, Mr. Marston arose saying kind- ly: “Why are you trembling?” “I'm sorry I didn’t suit you,” began Harriett, gaining courage, “But you did. I know all about you. I've watched you since the first day you came. Grasped every opportunity to talk with you without making it evident. Now I want to ask you how would you like to become the owner of this store.” “Sir,” sald Harriett, "how dare you ask me to come to your office to in- sult me?” “I'm not insulting you., I'm asking you to marry me. i'm a lonely man, and I want you for my wife. Don’t answer me; go home, talk it over with your mother, and all I ask is for wou to give me a chance for us to become acquainted.” When Harrlett left the office she had promised to “think it over.” “Are you going to leave?” asked Nora, when she appeared with her hat and cloak on. “Yes.
