CHAPTER THREE
CH;itU I mean ill How'd jou liko
J to go through life liko me, trying
to keep the kink ironed in my hair and
out of my back or lose my job at the
only kind of work I'm good for. It's
like trjing to lite with n grin fro.en
on jour face so jou can't close jour
mouth,"
"I -I just ciiu'l get otcr II. Phon.ie,
jou fort j ! You lite j ears older I bun
me and mi afraid- thinking all along
it was just the other waj."
"I had already shed my milk teeth
before jou were born. .Madam."
"Wbutta jou know about thai !"
"Ask Gert. She's been following me
around from plnce to place for jcars,
slicking to me because 1 say there ain't
a model iu the business can show the
clothes like she can."
"Yes?"
"Ask her; she's mj age nnd we been
ou the joh together for twenty jears.
Long before ihe models was cteu
known in the business, she, and me
were showing goods in the old Cunning
ham place ou Madison itteuue."
"F,en eteit back there jou wus dead
set ou hating good figures around the
place, wasu't jou, PhouzieV"
"I tell you it's economy in the end.
Aladam, to hate figures thut can show
ni, I'm 'nnl liel.tll,- 1'linnzlp. bill 1
!..'.. .'.i..- ,
., ii-, ,iur( iu,, inn. .
"1 hate been in the business long
enough. Muil'itii, to'learn that the
real est wnj in the world to show gowns
. on hp stock. A dimie will fall for
ant Mirt ni 11 ruir slack on a iigure
like (icrt's, and think tho waistline and
nil is thrown in with (tic dress, ton
lecu for jourself nit Ness order live
gowns right off Gert s back today.
Would she. bate fallen for them n we
had shown them in the hand 7 Not
much '. She forgot all nbout her own
thirty -eight waistline when she ordered
that niuk organdie. She was seeing
Gerl's twenlj-two inches."
But lionist. Phoiiie, take a girl
like Gert. een with her figure, she oh,
1 don't know, there s homething about
her!"
"She muj rub jour fur the wrong
wnj, .Madam, but under all her flip
wujs they don't come no liner than
Gcrt."
"No, it ain't Ihul. only she don't
nlwajs get across. Take Liptou ; she
won't ctcn let her show her it gown;
she's alwujs calling for Do Uo instead.
Sometimes I think the trade takes ex
ceptions to a gill like Gert, her all
decked out in diamonds that show how
how lly she must be."
"Gertie Dobrincr's the best in the
business just the sumo, .Madam. She
ain't stuck on her way of living no
more than f nut. but she's a model aud
she ain't got enough of anything else
in her lo make the world treat her any
different than a model."
"I'm not saying she ain t a good
thirlj-si, Phonzie."
"1 got t" hand it tc. her, Aladam.
when it comes to a lot of things. She
may be a little skj linker, but lake it
from me, it ain't front choice, and
wlien she iikes jou God, honest, I
think that Kirl would pawn her soul
for jou. When 1 was down with pneu
monia " .
"I ain't sajlng a thing against her.
"She's no snint. may be, but then
God knows I'm not, either, and what
I don't know about her pritatc life don't
bother me."
"Oh, 1 I know jou uke her all
right.' '
"Say. I'll bet you any amount, if
that girl had memory enough to learn
the words of a song or the steps of u
dance she could hate landed a first -row
