When A Girl Loves 1928 by NEA Service byRUTH DEWEY GROVES CHAPTER XXII--(Continued) "Well, let's see your three hundred. 1 suppose you brought it with you?" He was teasing but Virginia opened her bag and banded him the money she had gotten from "Uncle Simon." "Poor little babes in deep black woods of Wall Street," he sympathized over the bills.
Then catching sight of Virginia's forlorn expression, he laughed. "But 111 be their papa and bring them up he promised heartily. "Don't you worry, mama. Come in day after tomorrow and I'll have news 'afor, you." He was at with her before the thought struck him that this might be all the money she had. "I believe I could do A8 well with two hundred," he said and started to separate $100 to give back to her.
"You mustn't risk it, Oliver, I've just got to have that hundred thousand. Perhaps I'll have more to bring you when the estate is settled, but please do the best you can with this money. Keep all of it, please." you say, Virginia. See you day after tomorrow." She nodded and went ever to his secretary's desk to thank her for her ministrations. Miss Evans was capable-looking woman in the carina thirties, and it came to Virginia as she talked with her that here was a person who could give her some helptul auvice.
Everyone else driven her nearly distracted with their refusals to see her in anything but the social butterfly who should cling to her place even if she had to assume the role of little sister to the rich in jorder to hold it. All except Nathaniel, of course, and he made it hardest of all for her to pursue the course she had set her feet upon, but she could forgive him because of his motive. "I wonder if you would have lunch with me?" she asked Miss Evans rather doubtfully. She was afraid the secretary might 818- pect her of a patronizing attitude. "It would be doing me a great favor," she hastened to add.
"I want to ask your opinion about "I shall be glad to, Miss' 'Brewster," Miss Evans assured her alter a slight pause of consideration. Virginia glanced at her wrist watch. Why, she had forgotten all about it at "Uncle Simon's!" "It's 11:30," she announced. "May you go now?" "In five minutes." Virginia waited in the reception room, looking out over the roof-tops of Manhattan. For the first time in her life the immensity of the city frightened her.
What was her pitiful strength compared to the power that had built this great, roaring metropolis? Would the brains represented by these incredible piles of steel and concrete allow her to wrest even the tively small sum of $100,000 from them? Virginia shivered with rawe. But once on the street, tea room-bound with Miss Evans, her balance was restored. When finally they were ensconced in wall seats with a doily-covered table before them she turned to her companion with a thrill over the novelty of what she intended to do. CHAPTER XXIII you happen to know thing about me?" Virginia asked when they had ordered their luncheon and were ready to talk. "I read a great deal about you in the papers," Miss Evans acknowledged.
"And I recognized you by your pictures when you came in the office this morning." "Then I don't need to tell you that my fortune has dwindled away to nothing," Virginia remarked. She was relieved that she need not go into all that. "Everyone I know seems to think I should be content to live on the generosity of my friends," she went on candidly. "But much prefer to find a way to support myself. That's what I wanted to talk to you about." "I think it's a creditable ambition, Miss Brewster." "I'm so hear someone say that, but I haven't the slightest idea how I'm to go about it." "That ought not be difficult for 2 cultured girl.
Of course, certain work requires a great deal of business experience, but if you are willing to start at the bottom. must make enough to live on," Virginia broke in. 'Then perhaps you shouldn't consider the business world at first. Isn't there something you could teach? Music, for instance?" "I'm a total loss as far as music goes and I can't paint, either. In fact I don't seem to have any talent at "You dance, don't "I love to.
What were you thinking of?" hopefully. "Why, I thought you might try the stage. "Oh, I couldn't! The publicity would be horrible." "I suppose it would if you used your own name." "The Brewster name is about all that would give me a start, I'm afraid," Virginia avowed honestly. "Without it I'd never get on just by my dancing. Perhaps if I had time to train I might make a chorus, but I need a position at once.
In fact I must CHITCHAT OF THE COUNTRY -SIDE PARKFINLD. June 15- Mrs. Harry Russell, of Fresno, and daughter, Mrx. fla Hudson, of Sanger, spent Monday night with Mrs. Russell's brother, B.

"That's a possibility," Virginia admitted. "I'll give you the name of 211 agency," Miss Evans offered eagerly. "Here, I'll write it down." She tore a page from a notebook and put it down--name and dress. "Ask for Mrs. Phelps." After luncheon Virginia went directly to the address given her.
On the sixth floor she found the Phelps Agency and approached a busy young woman at a desk in the reception room with the request to see Mrs. Phelps. "Your name and business, please?" she was asked in crisp accents as a card appeared ically in the adept hands of Mrs. Phelps' assistant. "Juet a moment, please." Then, after she had given Virginia a closer second look, she added, "Will you sit down?" Virginia took seat near a table laden with smart magazines.
She selected one, rippled the pages with 110 interest and put it down. The place surprised her. there were no waiting applicants for positions ranged along the wall as she was used to seeing in the domestic employment agencies she had visited time and again to engage servants. But, of course, this would be a ditferent sort of agency. How stupid of her.
"Mrs. Phelps will see you in five minutes, Miss Browne," the assistant informed her after a short interval. Virginia thanked her and settied back to wait. Presently there was a low buzz at the sistant's desk and she nodded over to Virginia. "You may go in now." Virginia entered the door indicated and found herself facing a high-powered modern business woman.
Mrs. Phelps at a sat" desk as innocent of signs of her occupation as a railroad prest dent's. Virginia was considerably impressed with her smartly waved silver bob and clear complexion. "You wish a position 88 companion, I understand," she began even as she waved Virginia to a chair placed SO that the light would tall directly upon her teatures. It was not polite but it was good business.
"Lady or gentleman, Miss Browne?" "Why, I think I just assumed it would De with a lady," Virginta said hesitantly. Matter of fact she hadn't given it thought. "Any "None." said it firmly, desirous of removing any impression she may have given of not knowing her own mind. "H'm. Tell me something about yourself.
What do you consider are your qualifications." Virginia took her time to think that over. "I have a finishing school education," she said at last. "The usual accomplishments. I'm fairly good at golf. tennis and swimming.
I ride, of course, and I like books though I've never read to anyone. But I haven't the faintest idea what kind of a companion I'd be to an invalid," she added truthfully. "I see," Mrs. Phelps said, and then with all odd smile, "Any contacts with society? Smart 50- Palm Newport, Palm ciety, mean. Beach, Cannes?" Virginia permitted herself to smile.
"I've known Miss Virginia number of years," "She Brewster quite intimately, for a has given me permission to use her name as reference." "That would be quite suffici-1 ent," Mrs. Phelps approved. "bet we haven't yet discussed the qualifications that are essential to the applicant for the position I have in mind. Have you any secretarial experience?" "No, but I'm familiar with 80- cial correspondence. And could arrange entertainments." Mrs.
Phelps shook her head. "Can you use a typewriter?" "I'm sorry. "Then I'm afraid you would not do in this position. You would be called upon to do a great deal of typing and an applicant who can take dictation is preferred. "I did not know those were considered to be the duties of a companion," Virginia demurred.
"They aren't, ordinarily, but in this case lady wishes a secretary 88 well as a companion." "Haven't vou anyone who wishes a companion merely?" "Would you care to travel in the Orient An elderly client is leaving for Japan soon. but I'm obliged to tell you that she is. er, a trifle difficult, and unless you are of a most equable disposition. "I couldn't take that," Virginia interjected. "I must have something in New York." "That narrows your field considerably, Miss Browne, especially with invalids.
But if you will leave your full name and address, together with Miss Brewster's, I'll communicate with as soon as I have something you are fitted for. Miss Laidstone will take a memorandum of your qualifications for our files, if you will stop at her desk in the reception room." Virginia listed her accomplishments with the able Miss Laid-1 stone and envied her the precise manner in which she got it all down in double quick time. "I wonder it I made a mistake in giving a fictitious name?" she asked herself O1l the way down to the street. "But it Isn't the Virginia Brewster people, knew who wants a job. It's girl who has got to have an income pretty quick or not eat.
And I'm not going to have people pitying me wherever I go. Well, I'll have Miss Brewster write a wonderful Letter about Viola Browne when she replies to Mrs. Phelps' quest for information." sho She had acted when thought with a smothered, giggle. she gave the name Viola Browne Is her own but she did not feel guilty over the deception. After all, she was the same girl.
regardless of name, and her object WItS in 110 way reprehensible. It had occurred to that it would he much easier to be a companion under a name that had not had such widespread public-' it 118 her own. "But it seems I'm not to be one just yet." she lamented, painfully conscious of the few dollars that remained in her purse since she, had paid for the mucheon with Miss Evans, "Well, Uncle Simon, you're due for another visit from me 80011. It's It good thing I don't have Lu leave cards at your establishment. It would get to be expensive." She looked again at her wristwatch and decided to go back to her room and something else to pawn.
"I'll keep the watch as long a8 I can," she reflected. "At this rate I'll need a timepiece." The promise she had obtained from Oliver Cutter to help her and her talk with Misg Evans had cheered her greatly, and she began to think $100,000 was not such a tremendous sum as it had seemed last night. This time she took her white gold toilet articles to the pawnbroker and found the courage to raise his price and stick to it. Again she had dinner with Nathaniel and he found her more like her former self than she had been at any time since her father's death. She had rested 011 hour on her bed before he called for her.
A little natural color had crept to the surface of her cheeks under the rouge she had applied 80 she would not worry him with her pallor. "You're looking like you had a date with a million dollars," he burst out and then could have bitten his tongue, But Virginia did not react to his blunder as he had feared. "Perhaps I have," she said with a tender smile. "I feel lucky tonight." "Lucky enough to be kissed." he declared. And kissed her in plain sight of two delighted old ladies who also occupied the parlor.
