Bj this we mean some person, some young lady, who will be
well dressed and who will show our country trade, all the
different departments. It will be up to you — - yes, I have
selected you — to gain a knowledge of aU the different
features, like the babies* checking room on the third floor,
or the lounging room for people who are tired or ill and
want to recline."

He went on in a measured voice: "This position has
been given to you, of course through my direction, and I
am awfully glad to see you have it."

A kindly smile lined his face as he looked up. " I
suppose you have no objections? "

" Why, I — I am so pleased, Mr. Greenfield, I hardly
know what to say," she faltered.
He noticed how bewildered she had become. An ex-
pression — half shrewd, half pitying, stole across his
face. Then he resumed his former, businesslike tone.
" The salary is twelve dollars a week. Miss Revelly,
and will start on the coming Monday. You will be
ready? "

" Oh, of course," she replied, eagerly.
He went on to tell her a few more things about the
position. " You'll have to wear a black silk dress of good
quality, like the models in the cloak department. Only be
sure to put in some small piece of white lace about the
collar and cuffs."

Hagar's face changed expression at this remark, and
divining her thoughts, he told her that if she hadn't the
money to get this dress at present, she should go into the
dressmaking department and order it, and have Mrs.
Wheeler, the head-lady, call him up over the telephone.
