HER FIRST
CUSTOMER
By Cynthia Orey.
SPECIAL!
"Well, I'm going to, anyway!" de-
clared Emily Smythe. And what Is a
middle-aged guardian golqg to do when
• 17-year-old girl who knows she has
money and thinks she has Ideas
pouts?
"It's for Margaret." continued Emily.
Margaret was a cripple, the daughter
of a washerwoman. "I think that the
rich should—"
"All right, all right!" agreed Mr.
Rand. He had already heard more
than he wanted to of Emily's ideas
regarding the obligations of the very
rich.
Mr. Rand bought the shop Emily
coveted, and in two weeks it boasted
• new alga, "E. Smith & Co."
"Margaret is the Co.," explained
Emily, "and E. Smith is I."
Mr. Rand knew that the shop
backed Emily's property, which Itself
faced upon one of the most aristocrat-
ic streets of the city, but what he did
not know was that every morning a
gray little figure slipped out of the
back door of the Smythe mansion,
darted into the rear door of Margaret's
mother's plain little cottage and
thence to the shop, where "E. Smith"
herself sold cigars and thimbles dally.
"It Is such a lark!" Emily confided
to Margaret; "I love to study the cus-
tomers."
Her first customer was a tall, dark
man with serious eyes and a firm
chin. He came every day, and Emily
studied him. Their conversation
turned usually to the sins of the very
rich, and because they agreed and be-
cause Emily loved to study the cus-
tomers she was deliciously happy for
six months. Then the blow fell.
Mrs. Rand struck the blow. "Of
course, you must come out this sea-
son!"
"Then, of course, I won't!" declared
the girl. "I hate society."
"The Invitations are addressed,"
said the older woman blandly. "They
will be mailed to-morrow."
So In two Short weeks Emily, look-
ing exquisitely lovely In white muslin
and pink rosebuds, made her bow to
polite society.
"There, that ends it!" she confided
to Mife- Wilson as she laid aside her
flpery. "That's all I want of the
.aristocracy. I'm 18 to-day. No more
guardians or guardians' wives!"
Miss Wilson smiled. Since the
girl's parents' demise Miss Wilson had
managed Emily by letting her CMnk
she was doing exactly as she pleased.
So once more the little shop bright-
ened under the magic of her presence,
and oncc again the first customer
found it bewltchlngty attractive.
"I guess it's wicked to be rich," of-
fered "E. Smith," as her first cus-
tomer leaned over the counter on the
morning after her debut.
"It needn't be." he smiled into her
troubled eyes, "if the rich wouldn't let
themselves grow Idle and useless. Just
yesterday," he went on, "there was a
great fuss over on the avenue because
a Miss Smythe was 18. She'll grow
up as empty-headed as the other wom-
en are."
"Will she?" faltered the girl.
"Now you," he continued, "you'll—
I wish you'd let me come to see you. I
have something to tell you."
Emily blushed and gave the address
of Margaret's mother. That evening
he called, but MIbs Wilson was there,
3erenely watchful. He came again
and again, and Miss Wilson was al-
ways there, until one evening she al-
lowed Emily to run over ahead of her,
promising to come after her at ten
o'clock.
As the man entered he iast a quick
glance around the little parlor.
"Emily," he cried, "Emily, Emily, dear,
I love you!" He did not see the light
shining in the blue eyes. "But, dear,
I have deceived you. I am not Frank
Barber, the bookkeeper down town, as
you have thought me. I am Frank
Reginald Barber, son of Newton
Phelps-Barber."
The girl gave a little gasp; the
Phelps-Barbers were richer than she
was.
"I have been doing settlemeii* work
down here. You see, I am not one of
the useless rich. Do you think that
you can learn to love me, dearr, a lit-
tler-
She went into the arms that were
open to her and nestled against the
man's heart. "I'm so glad you're rich,
dearest, for—"
"Yes, my darling?"
"For now you won't mind because I
am that empty-headed Emily Smythe,
will you?"
An Interesting Question.
The young wife of a prominent phy
slclan teaches a Sunday school class
of small boys. One Sunday not long
ago, after she had finished telling
them the story of Joseph and his coat
of many colors, she said:
"Is th'—e any question you would
like to ask me before we go on #lth
the catechism ?"
"Yes'm," answered little Sammy
Eastwood.
"Well, what is It, Sammy?"
"Will you give me a ride In your
automobile?"
The question was not answered
then, but, as a matter of record, Sam
my got the ride.
The Suburban Hunter.
"No," said Mrs. Subbubs, "my hus-
band Isn't at home. He's out hunting,
as usual."
"You don't say!" exclaimed the call-
er. "After something big?"
"It won't matter whether she's big
or little so long as she can cook our
meal* and do plain housekeeping."
