the convent Janet remembered that she must write a note to Marie too She could Imagine that Marie had worried a great deal about her expecting every minute to hear from her and dreading that she might hear bad news Janet chuckled to herself to think of It now Janet even thought of the letter she would write Dear Marje Matte You wont won't nee nees need to worry about me I Just followed your advice I boarded the very first car noine oln west that I happened to se see It has brought me adventure and ex ex- ex- ex My chauffeur is Js the handsomest young man I have ever seen I Idon don dont don't know whether hes he's married or not And somehow Marie Im I'm already beginning to hope that he He has promised to get work for me with his aunt She's an interesting woman who lives in Indianapolis She's very wealthy one one of the new rich in fact Her husband was clever enough to buy a lot of cheap land in Oklahoma Oklahoma Oklahoma Okla Okla- homa and Kansas and I guess practically practically practically every mile of it is starting an oil well today just rolling in money So John that's my chauffeur says And maybe Im I'm to be her private secretary or social secretary al although although although al- al though Id I'd rather be her cook Well anyway you dont don't need to worry about me Ive I've had so much excitement and adventureSome adventureSome adventure Some day I may be able to tell you about it Jt but I certainly cant can't right now jiow In the meantime Ive I've got plenty of money and you needn't worry in the least about me Janet chuckled to herself to think of that last

dred dollars She had never seen so much money before in her whole life and now it belonged to to her Not only that there that there were to be two bills just like that come to her here e every ery month She could hardly believe her good fortune I Instead of taking a position with Johns John's aunt maybe sh she ought to rent an apar apartment nent and send for Marie i iThe The two of them could certainly enjoy life together resting never having to think of a Happy Hostess dress seeing a lot of good shows and just girls for a few weeks That was an idea to think about i Janet decided But shed
