opened and closed her band rapidly five or six times to re lieve the ache in her cramped fingers her brown eyes wandered down the long rows of desks in the office and her lips parted in a little sigh as she observe the absorbed faces bent over the afternoons work the girl at the desk beside her own was adressing and filling in cards just as norah herself was do ing and so were the two girls in front and the one across the narrow aisle through the window on her other side a tantalizing finger of sunshine was playing hide arid seek with itself among the neat piles of cartas on norhas desk no one except norati seemed to notice it busy typewriters clicked on pens flew across envelopes and cards sharply insistent telephone bells rang here and there first on one desk then on another no one noticed norah either four days ago when she had first come some one had explained her work to her had given her lists post cards and baskets of letters and then had left her to herself to carry out her instructions the fashion department of a dig womans magaatne had recently start ed a shopping service for outoftown readers and norah and the four other girls round her were employed to ad dress post cards acknowledging the receipt of orders and to fill in on trie back the name of the shop that would ship the goods it was not very interesting work but it was simple she had been so proud of getting job at the very first try i it bad all come about in this way after grandfather had died last year they had lived with him ever since norah s own father bad died years before norahs mother had done everything that a slender uttlo wisp of a woman with three children could do to keep things going and let norah the oldest finish high school she had taken tn sewing for neighbors had put up jains and jellies and opened and closed summer cottages during the spruxg and fall she and norah had talked hope- fullyabout norah s business career they always dignified it with that to- posing phrase when they were alone together they had made such plana for the future tilings they would do tor the younger children and tor each other trips they would take tn tlons of course the trips were a long way off in the years nut it was fun to discuss them then two weeks after her gradua tion norah had seen the household words advertisement for clerical workers in the help wanted oiiwi of the sunday newspaper had wered it in person the next raorralrux and was engaged before a single other applicant had put in an appearance tn to get fourteen dollars r a week norah announced grandly at supper that night to mother and toe wideeyed twins and thats only a beginning youll see rm going to work so hard they just wont be able to help moving me higher mother with cheeks almost as pink as norahs from the excitement of the moment was inwardly convinced that norah would be nothing less than fashion editor in a few months the twins who had vague notions of what a fashion editor might be joy fully predicted vast sums of money which they were willing to assist norah in spending altogether it had been a moat ex citing affair that supper norah took up her pen slowly she did not mind tbe actual addresszig even though it was monotonous but how if she were kept addressing end less pott cards day after day was her chance ever to come to do any thing different of course she tried to avoid mis takes m the work and to write as many cards as she could between nine oclock and five but then those foor other girls did as much too or they would not have been there norah realised now that she had dimly ex pected the office to be a kind of glor ified sc where her efforts would be noticed and commented on an unreasonable little feeling of ot ter desolation squeesed two unexpec ted tears into her eyes and forced a lump up into her throat it was foolish of course and she knew it but for the mome the impersonal hurry and routine of the office and her own insignificance frightened her then for there was a good fight ing spirit in norah inherited from her mother who had not given up at a much harder pinch than her daughter had ever known the girl lifted her curry head to a determin ed angle a new aspect of the case had occurred to her if she went on doing her work in a machinelike way she would be treat ed like a machine but if she kept her mind alertft on each detail tried to find better or quicker ways to do it she gave a deep little sigh of relief srtdnet eyes began to smile in their usual fashion it was not for the office to discover her as she bad tgnorantly imagined it was for her norah landed to dis cover herself during the next hour she wrote steadily doggedly over carefully the names of the shops with wtilcii most of the orders were placed there were exactly eight of them and they all had long names that it took a great many loops and twists of a pen to write i dont believe anyone hag thought of it here norah said under her breattu the department is hew and all the short cuts navent been worked put yet- she wondered wtiether she had tte requisite- courage- to walk into the fashion editors private office and ask for permission bo explain her idea for a second or so she hesitated but if tt really a short cut shell want to know she argued with her self i guess lwlll and she rose bravely on the word the door of the fashion editors sftice stood wide open and halting timidly on the threshold norah saw that mrs- ijoyd was liesurely sorting samples of gayly colored chrffons and velvets she glanced up at the sound of footsteps and norah noticed that her eyes were kindly did you wish co see roe about something the fashion editor asked in a pleasant tone oh yes please norah forgot her shyness and smiled back she came into the office softly and- leaning a- gatnst tbe big rolltop deslr spread out her funny little collection on the blotter i thought she began a bit breath lessly but nevertheless holding her voice steady i thought i had better come to you i am ijulte sure i have found a way tajljve time in filling the shopping woers about several hours a day perhaps you see here norah drew her collection of exhibits forward one by one this is one of the cards as we write them now and heres tile list of shops were using this months theyre all awfully long names to fill tn this other things a date stamp one girl stamps all the cards you know and ivssa hse and quick wouldnt it be a good plan to have a rubber stamp made for each shop too and then after the cards are addressed they could be put in separate plies a pile for each shop and one girl could stamp them all when she dates them norah stopped quite out of breath and faced the fashion editor with ghlng eyes and flushed cheeks ooodl i will make out an order for them at once- mrs ijbyd said briskly trying not to smile at the eagerness of the young face before her she looked at norah rather cur iously sow did you happen to think about saving time my dear norahs flush deepened t dont want to be just a a sort of machine always she said shyly mrs lloyd put her band impulsive ly on the girls arm tm glad to know you feel like that she said simply but the ap proval in her tone went warmly va norahs excitedly beating heart we havent rnunh use for machines here either qo on keeping your eyes open my dear and whenever you have an other idea bring itr to me norah went out of the office with triumpbant little tune h in her brain in rythm with the dancing impulse in the tips of her toes aoe turned gayly to her nextdoor neigh bor a stolid flaxenhaired girl of about her own age isnt it the most wonderful day ever she demanded the flaxenhaired girl sighed heavi ly dhhuhl she agreed indifferently whist i waa out of the office to en- joy it though i dont said norah she glanced about her with a proprietary air everythlng was cufferent it was her office now work is nothing more than a very interesting game she added with conviction when youve learned bow to play it right

convinced that such things need attending to let him write an article to the paper himself and many men and possibly some women too who are afraid to publish a letter over their own name recently a

get all the money they can from the government for relief pur- poses of course the towns andcltiea will have to raise dollar for dollar reh celved provided this money is wisely spent it may be good business but municipalities are going to be li with debentures that are going to burdensome in the future tbe that can get along with tbe borrowing now will be he best to live in some years hence 1920 they spent 090oo0oo and in 1930 they spent 194000000 this money had to come from somewhere and it came from the only natural source to which a governinent will turn the taxpayers the whole pro blem of taxation is one of course for an eccmotnlst but though wheat has gone to 75 cents and industrial organi zations are reopening factories the depression may not yet be over and it behoves the goverment
