Tho position requires a woman of Eood nppearancc, and no pay for that tiorc thun for ability. Tho salary Is good, $18. t hope you will like us. Mrs. Raymond. That's all, thank you." And Mr. Browning returned to his pa pers, signifying that tho Interview was closed, leaving Iluth with burning cheeks and tescntment In her heart. His attitude had been perfectly cour teous, but It left her no doubt of the fact that he considered his time too aluable to spend much of It foolishly. Everything he had said, too, had' been heard by Miss Ware. Ittith resented that fact more than anything else. (In the next limtnllment Kutli on the Job.) ZEL0S0PHS TO STAGE "FASHION" ON MAY 9 Society Plans Revival Here of Early American Comedy by Anna C. M. Ritchie START THIS STOKY TODAY RUTH arrived at tho onlce of the New Idea Publishing Company feel ing not quite- sure of herself, although no ono wotJld havo dreamed It from her trim appearance. Sho found the recep tion room In which sho was to sit at tractively furnished In brown leather, a davenport and several easy chairs. There was a brown desk with a desk chair near a window which sho supposed would be hers. As sho stepped out of the elevator sho stopped a moment un certainly and then went to the nearest door and knocked. It was opened In stantly by a girl who looKca somewhat surprised at tho Intrusion. Ttuth dis covered a moment later that It was due to the fact that It was unusual to knock at an omco door. "Who did you want to see?" tho girl asked casually. "No ono Is In yet, It's early." "I'm Mrs. Raymond," Itutli explained. Tho girl looked puzzled. Kvldcntly the name meant nothing to her. "I'm to havo tho position at the desk In tho reception room." Instantly her brow cleared. "O, of course. I'll show you where to put your things. I didn't remember tho namo." And then sho went with Iluth to a roomy i loak room where Bhe explained every thing, chattering volubly all tho time. Kutl) had no Idea who tho girl was Until she explained that she was Mr. Browning's secretary, "Mr. Browning h tho editor," she added, "Shall I tell you about tho staff? There's tho managing editor, Miss Graves, and tho different department editors. You'll soon get to know them nil. Have ou ever worked? Do you know what to do?" Ruth shook her head. Since she had discovered that .this talkative, rather pleasant girl was only a stenographer, Rhe was not so impressed, although she fel( too new and strango to turn down tho very evident friendship that this girl offered, "Hero's your desk," the girl went on, solng over to the piece or itirmture, pulling out drawers and seeing that Ruth had everything she needed. Ruth thanked her formally and sat down try ing to feel efficient and capable. "My name Is Helen "Ware," the girl proffered. "Shall we lunch together to day? I can show you all the ropes.' But Kuth was not to be lured Into a luncheon engagement. She did not want to begin her job by having lunch with any of the stenographers. Sho wanted to show every ono from tho beginning that sho was a superior type. Perhaps one of the editors would be friendly and In that way she could get ahead. "O, thank you. It's very good of you," she returned hastily, "but I have prom-1 Ised to lunch with a friend." I m j T XX T l Miss Helen Ware nodded brightly, not OI llK? XT lllG W OOClfi The Woman's Exchange The lirbt downtown ctiKflK','icnt of the annual play given by the Zelo sophic Society of the University of Pennsylvania will be in T.,u Lu Temple on May 0, This was announced today by the society, which also told of the initial performance which will bo given Saturday night at the Gcrrauntowu Hoys' Club. The Zelosophic Literary Society lias been for years presenting plays of the past and present, and their productions are now considered one of the itnpor tont campus events. Several years ago they gave "The Priuce of Parthia," by Thomas Godfrey, which is called the firsl American drama written by an American and produced in this country. Singularly enough, this play had its first presentation in this eity, which was chosen for Its revival by the so ciety. Last year they gave "The Man on the Box." This year another very early Ameri can play, "Fashion," by Anna Cora Mowntt Ritchie, first played in 184," anu popular iur many years, iins piay is n comedy contrasting the simplicity of America in the early days with the affectation of the continent tit the time. It is in five acts pud has a long list of characters, which will be ployed by members of Zclo and coeds, who vol untecred to act the feminine roles.

She barely looked at them, hut kept her eyes turned in the other direction. Finally Miss Ware appeared and smiled in a friendly fashion. "Mr. Drown will see you now, Mrs. Raymond," she said briskly. And Ruth got up and followed her into the inner olllce. The place was flooded wltli sunshine, and was quite large. Out of tho corner of her eyo Ruth could see Miss Ware's desk over in a corner. Mr. Browning ,pat at a huge desk that seemed to fill one end of the room. He looked up and nodded as Ruth came in, indicating a chair for -her to sit In, but ho did not rise. Ruth felt somehow out of her element and Btrangcly uncomfortable. Mr. Browning was talking to some one over the telephone, and she excused him for not rising on those grounds, so Bhe dropped Into tho chair and waited for him to speak. When ho turned to her at last, she lather liked him. Ho was tall and lather spare. His hair was faintly gray at tho temples and although ho was not handsome ho looked clever. She smiled faintly.
