She was losing her confidence in her ability to look out for herself. For a week now she had been followed when she left the restaurant at midnight, followed by a slouching, individual, in a shapeless hat and worn overcoat pulled up about his ears. Emily had expected to run into all sorts of disagreeable experiences in ,the big city. To her unsophisticated mind the city was full of evil. Yet, in her several months of cabaret life, this was the first bit that had touched her personally, and so far this had d clo ' , . one paragraph In it was really important - to Emily. The rest was froth 'In Malsles best style. You ought to be here with your voice like a bird the note read Old Gunter needs more girls. Its easy work, and you could bunk with me. Ive been trying to get somebody. It cuts room rent in half.; What good did a voice like a bird do one on a farm, thought Emily bitterly.

Vague thoughts of rebellion were stirring within her, but tiie dull rouud of household tasks claimed her, crowding in on her discontent. The next morning, Emily stood pinning her summer hat on tier trim little head. It was the day for the weekly drive to Jamestown .to do her marketing and meager shopping.

And here, he plunged his hand into his pocket and Perbrought out a wrinkled bill. haps this will help make up for your disappointment, he said awkwardly. Its a little extra I had come In. During the long drive Emily nursed her anger at John for spoiling her fun, as she put it to herself. A few minutes later Emily sent the bewildered Jim home, bearing a note to her husband which she had scrawled hastily on the back of her grocery list Dear John: Im sorry, but Im sick of farm life. - Im taking a Chance I had to go to the city. Dont think too EMILY. badly of me. She herself walked to the small suburban station and waited for the express. Six months later, in a nine by twelve bedroom', Emily sat at a bare, uneven legged tableland dumped out the contents of her pocketbook. No, there was not very much there. Certainly not enough to carry her long if (rid Gunter put into execution his threat to let her go at the end of the week. There was nothing the matter with her voice, he had declared frankly, and she got by with the dancing, but she hadnt the go, the pep be wanted in his bunch of girls.
