But then, Neal thuught everything aliout Muisle was wimderful the way she did her hair, the light in her eyes and the neat triinness of her black dress. Besides, she was "some" waitress! She could make two orders to every one that .the other girls made. Neal liked the unconventlonallty of Norris', lie found it pleasant to sit at his accustomed table in the corner by the window, to watch Malsle move deftly In and out among the tables with her trays, and to have her couie at last to wait on him.

Then Neal saw Mulsie one night st a theater, Bitting two rows In front of him. Tliere was a man with her. He was lanky, with a long nose that turned up ridiculously at the end. . Neal wanted to laugh at him; at the same time he was Jealous. He wondered at hujs-lesslj- r Mulsie. At Norris' things went as usual, except that Malsle seldom lingered to talk. She was always very busy. A week later he saw Malsle again nt another theater.
