ch SH A A AR AIS ST oA THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1930. PAGE SEVEN LOVE SHY - Instatlment Thirty-Two » GOOD FORTUNE Monday morning. Work again. It seemed an eternity to Janet since she had hurried through her dressing and breakfast and joined the 9 o'clock subway rush. From long habit she turned toward the Morris porch to stop for Adelaide, then re- membered that Adelaide lay sick and broken behind those drawn curtains. She wondered how much, if any, of Adelaide's story she should tell at the office, then decided to wait to see whether any questions wer asked her. Mr. Smithers came to shake hands with her.' 'I'm mighty glad to have you back, Miss Lane," he said. "I rear your friend Miss Morris was cit a widow--what was her married 1ame, oh, yes, Krause. You were in m some of the excitement too, I anderstand." Janet, secing that he was genuinely interested, gave him an outline of what had happened. He nodded when the story was finished. "Yes, girls will be foolish and they have to pay the price for their foolishness. I hope you're not thinking of getting mar- ried too, Miss Lane." Janet blushed. "Not yet awhile, anyway," he said. "Good. Come into my office about 10. I want to talk to you. Janet found herself the center of curious eyes that morning. Every one had seen the story of Adelaide's mis- fortune in the papers and wanted to know more about it from Janet. She resolved she would tell as much of the story as seemed proper at lunch time and after that she would refuse to discuss it. She wondered what Mr. Smithers wanted and went to his office at 10¢in some trepidation, "Sit down, Miss Lane," he said, kindly, pushing aside some papers so he could see more clearly. "This of- fice; as you know has been very suc- cessful this last year. The Board of Directors has seen fit to give me some of the credit for it and has off- cred to make me manager of a new branch they are going to open down- town in the fall. My new position will require me to have a private secretary and I called you in to ask you if you would consider taking such a position. "Oh, Mr. Smithers, I'd love to," Janet criedfi her eyes sparkling. "It's awfully good of you to ask me." You've deserved the propohtion," he told her. "There will be a lot of work in the new office. You and I will have to run it alone for a time. It's just an experiment and we won't have any kind of a staff until the directors are sure it is going to be a success. Your new position will pay you $45 a week, which is quite a raise in salary for you." Janet wa soverwheimed. She heard him discuss details and gave him what she hoped were intelligent an- swers, but all the time her mind was busy, with the realization that now she could afford to live by herself, could room alone or share the ex- peénses of a small apartment with some other girl "It will be wiser not to speak of it in the office now," Mr, Smithers concluded. "We shall not make the , ' the 1st "of Sep er. Meantime I will advance your salary at once to $35 a week and have you take all my personal dictation." Janet thanked him again and went back to her desk with her nerves tingling. She had been right to re- fusy Jimmy. Why, she'd be making nearly twice as much as he was, Her parents could give up the double house in Brooklyn any time they wanted to and move to the country. Everything was different for her now. ' She did not even mind the questioning at noon, but answered readily enough and promised to carry condolences to Adelaide from some of the girls who felt truly sorry for her. "l Learned to Appreciate Money" After supper that night she went to see Adelaide. She found her friend sitting up in bed with a lacy negligee, remnant of her former ex- travagance ,around her shoulders. "Hello, Janet--how's the. working girl?' ! "Fine, how' s' yourself 2" "I'm low in my mind, Janet, ter- ribly low. I'm as depressed as a lizard's third chin." "You ought to start doing some- thing," Janet said gently; "it would take your mind off your troubles." Adeladie shrugged her shapely shoulders. "Ob, don't start that Mother and Dad have been inning that at me. They want to move away from. New York. It seems Dad has By Earbara Welb Copyright by Public Ledger some kind of an offer in West Vir- ginia where He can stay home all | the time and they want me to go there with them. [ told them to go achad, but leave me out. Imagine living any place but New York." "But what will you do?" Janet asked. "Oh, I've got a little money, about a thousand dollars, that will keep me for a while. Then 1 have most of my clothes, the expensive ones Butch bought me, you know. I think I'll go down to see Tony at the blue Butter- fly in a week or so and see if he won't take me on as a hostess." Janet was shocked, "But, but, isn't it awfully soon after--after----" she could not go on. "Oh, I know what you want to say. Say it. Awfully Soon after Butch died for me to be doing anything like that, Well, it is and it isn't. If I had been the one to die Butch ldn't have stopped living 'and working. Men don't, you know. And I've got to do the best I can. Don't get me wrong, Janet.' I loved Butch like I'll never love any one else, but that doesn't mean I can live like a nun the rest of my life. I think Butch would've wanted me to be myself, go right on like 1 always did and just keep a little corner of my heart always for him." Janet was silent. After a long time she said, "Perhaps you're right, Ade- laide. I was wondering if you wanted me to ask Mr, 'Smither to take you back into the office. I think he would." Adelaide laughed disagreeably, "Not me, thanks. I'm through with that kind of work. I learned to appre- ciate money when I was with Butch and I don't even mean to be without it again. Not me. y's News Janet felt there was nothing more to be said. Adelaide had lost her pallor and seemed very much her usual self. Apparently her experience had hardened her. - Henceforth the selfish, sensual side of her nature would prevail in all her decisions. Janet felt saddened at this change, felt that hete shch was losinb' Ade- laide, her lifelong friend. She went have soon afterward and found Jim- my sitting in the front room talking to her mother. "Here's the bad penny,' 'he said getting to his feet, "You can't lose me. weren't going out this week, but I've got some news for you and i wanted to tell it to you in person.' "Good news?" Janet asked d, smiling, "I think it's good news," Jimmy said smiling. Mrs. Lane excused herself, and Janet wished her mother did not make such a point of leaving the room whenever Jimmy was there. Jimmy smiled after her, then turned to Janet. "Here's the news," he said, "I've been promoted, I'm going to have charge, entire charge, mind you, the new filling station the Miracle Oil Company is putting in farther downtown. That means more re- sponsibility and a raise in salary." | He paused for comment and Janet obliged him. "That's fire, Jimmy," she said, "I'm awfully glad." "You don't sound so enthusiastic, But listen, Janet-- coudn't two peo ple live on $45 a week? That's what | I'll be getting, and there'll be other | raises later. ink of it, $45 a week! | Why, we could live beantifully on that." Janet looked around the room, thought of her own promotion, then smiled at Jimmy. "That's just about enough for one, Jimmy, You know that Jimmy's face fell. "Oh, come on, Janet, take a chance: Lots of couples do it on less than that, you know they do." ot for me," Janet said decidedly, "and Jimmy, if you ever mention this subject to me again I shall abso- lutely refuse to see you or talk to you and I shall be very, very angry. That's my last word. If you want my friendship you i have to stop talking about marriage." Jimmy looked pleadingly at her, but there was no sign of yielding in the pretty young face, Crestfallen and disspirited he took his leave and Janet's 'heart reproacked her at sight of his sober face. Nor did her triumph seem to bring her restful sleep, for twice in the night she awoke and found her face wet with tears.

BERLIN IS GITY OF WIDE OPEN SPACES Germany's Capital Discuss- ed in Fifth of Series of Lectures 15.--Berlin, Ger- many's capital, is comparatively young though it has the second largest population of any city in Europe and is the greatest city in area in the world, Dr. Curt L. Hyemann, official representative of Berlin in the United States, sald in giving the fifth of the series of lecturee on cities sponsored by the City Improvement League Tuesday night in the McGill Chem- istry Building, Visitors do not find buildings of certain old architectural types to be found in other European cities there, but Berlin certainly is un- surpassed in her. most modern residences and industrial quarters, the lecturer declared. Germany's capital has heen described as the city of "great open spaces" or the city "where one can breathe." "It has open squares, plazas, green lawns, lakes and flowers every- where, In the spring and summer Montreal, Feb. one sees in the western districts, in quiet streets, all the balconies decorated with flowers, One needs to go only a little further out to discover large lots of land still vacant," There are 200 playgrounds in Berlin for all sorts of sports, Dr. Heymann said in stressing the necessity for adequate playgrounds for children and pienty of parks and other open spaces for adults, The progressive attitude of the citizens has made the capital an European centre for both traffic and art. "The intensity of work in Berlin has resulted in tremendous traffic and the most modern ways of communication," Dr. Heymann stated. "Berlin has hecome the centre of. the European air traffic. A total of 17 different air lines start from there, The new radio tower is a landmark of modern Berlin. These are the signs of the time in which we live. They are the signs of modern Berlin where not only industries and trade are organized and centralized but where also art and science are cul- tivated, "Berlin is international in its intelligence, It became so especially under the influence of the Repib- lic. But even during the war, dur- ing its darkest moments, Berlin staged Italian and French operas and now as things are settled down again, . it has become once more hte habit of Austrian, Hungarian and Russian musicicng to seek the verdict of Berlin before going abroad to London or America. Plays which were performed in the city between September 1927 and August 1928 were 60 per cept, of foreign origin, including -Shake- speare, who is seen more often on the German stage than on the Eng lish or American. Some 30 per cent. of the plays performed were by French authors." A. J. Livinson occupied the chair and Major George Washington-Ste- phens moved a vote of thanks followinfz the illustrated lecture.
