"We had talked," Anne continued, “about my giving up my male role for long periods, living this way during the days as well as evenings and weekends for awhile. Dick wrote to me a few months ago to say he would give me a job as a secretary in his company if I couldn't find one anywhere else. So I finally decided to try it. You know, Audrey, how I've always wanted to try being a woman on a fulltime basis. So I quit my job, bought a new ward- robe, and came up here to Portland."

"To be a secretary?" Audrey asked.

"That's right, as a secretary. And you know, it's quite an exper- ience for a girl to get her first job.”

"I wonder what Dick Moore will say when he finds I've hired you," said Audrey, testing the situation.

"Don't worry, Audrey, Dick will merely be jealous-jealous of me. I'll have to introduce you to Dick's sister!"

"Would you like to start as my personal secretary on Monday, Anne? For a first timer, I'll bet you know a lot about business-- anyway, a pretty secretary is an asset to any executive."

"Tell Jim I'll be there!" said Anne with a broad grin.

Soon the waiter entered to take their order. He gave both Anne and Audrey pretty little corsages; compliments of the house--he said--a tradition for the loveliest women in the restaurant each night.

As indicated in TVia #55 there is a very considerable investment tied up in printed stock here at Chevalier. One of the items in excess supply is the novel CARNIVAL. This occurred because when it was printed somebody copied it and flooded the market, thus we have too many in stock. For this reason till Oct. 31 the price will be dropped to $3.00, so save a couple of dollars and send it your order now. Its a good story.
