THE DRESSY TYPIST | Gd PPP ddd dd Pd dd be DPPPR ddd {(@ by D. J. Walsh.) [YOUR-THIRTY o'clock on a smoth- b{ ering summer afternoon in a ik downtown office five floors up, so darkened by the tall building across the narrow alley that electric lights must burn all day long. Most office working girls know that dead allve feeling when they are tired ou and it seems too late to begin some new task, yet there is a whole half hour before relense, Jut fifteen minutes later—how dif ferent! A sudden wake-up, closing of desks, busy mirrors and powder puffs and squirming about to look for new runs in their chiffon stockings. Cheer- ful exchanges of “What you goin’ to do tonight?” Yoices in the adjoining room and the pleasant fragrance of a cigar pro- claimed the return of Mr. Fred Argyle, the debonair of the wholesale Jeweler at the head of this firm. Dess, the dressy typist, hummed the latest dance hit as she quickly sorted and clipped together her many papers. The clerk, Lillian, eyed her critically from the top of the sleek brown bob to the shapely pumps, then announced, 1 see Bess Las another heavy date with our Freddy tonight. All dolled up.

Fred opened the door so suddenly he nearly upset the two girls there, but he seemed too agitated to observe them. "Did any of you see—" he be- gan. A scream from Bess, a grating sound, her body perilously out the window—Fred there, his nrm clutching her back. Then his angry “Didn't 1 warn you that would happen!” Well, it had. The culprit crumpled down on a chalr, dazed to utter a word, unconscious of the chattering all about her, of the girls’ earnest efforts to coxcuse and comfort her Then vaguely aware of a short, testy argument between Argyle senior and Junior about police efliciency. Next Fred at the telephone with orders to have something radio broadcast imme diately—great stress on the big cash reward offered to ald in the return of something. Rising from the phone, “You'll find, dad, that eash offer will bring quicker results than any police detectives could.” What did all that matter to her? Jut the typewriter, a new one they had bought recently at her own re quest; they had permitted her to choose It; its price would come out of her salary, of course, even if they did not fire her. But remorse and chagrin cut her far worse than did that prospect. Meanwhile Lilllan, at the window, had reported that no one was hurt, “Gee, but the crowd! Blocks the alley at both ends! There's a rusty little Ford, though, that sure got Its nose broken—typewriter landed square on its engine. People trying to plek up the scattered keys.

Instinetively she remained there and, amid a buzz of volces, presently heard the oflicer saying, “Yes, I had heard your broadeast not two minutes before. Now, this bird didn't seem near as mad about the accident ns he was anxious to get away—that made me suspicious. So I searched him and ~here're your gems.” Not wanting them to find her hang- ing around, Bess hurried off.
