discussed if we get the order Mary you'll get a swell new fitted bag I'd rather have a raise you're jealous because Miss Presby got one hardly it's not the same situation you're different to your SP she's just a diversion she got her salary raised I'll say she's diverting you hate her don't you certainly not but she ruins the morale of the office and from the things she says you think she was one of the board of directors you'll get a swell fitted bag nevertheless you look tired Mary why don't you take a day off as a matter of fact I have an invitation to spend the weekend at Atlantic City fine take the weekend off you think Daisy can do my work too she's a little inexperienced but yeah I think she can I don't think so I can post on my Atlantic City trip it's a standing invitation hope you feel better thanks Mary don't do that I thought the black killer of bazat had got me theater eh started for the theater ended up by driving on the Post Road oh sounds romantic who is he Jim Denine

with him he's not the type no just wait till I get him in my clutches oh I'm afraid there's another woman in his life what lip Rouge on his handkerchief they never learned do they positively No Nonsense unless a contract is lived up to it is not a contract there is no reason why we cannot cooperate on an issue involving so much of our Mutual Welfare yours truly oh what's the matter the Letter's too strong Jim you got to be tough with buer right as I dictated it very well well now what have you got for oh uh Martin says you need shirts any particular choice of color do I ever wear

shared his troubles and worries I've lifted him above the preses I've stood between him and a dozen cheap design women but when it comes to a girl with beauty and money and the glamour of position I

Ellen Robinson to see you yes I will I'm illan Robinson yes I know you came to see Mr Dine no you oh won't you sit down thank you Miss lynon when I first decided I wanted to marry Jim jine my father and I naturally talked it over I'm sure your father approved my father has known you for a long time only in a business way so that's how I happen to know you're in love with Jim Denine that's not true that proves it could I work alongside of Jim Denine for years without falling in love with him certainly not get to the point your admission that you're in love with him hardly qualifies you from a fiance's Viewpoint for further employment you want me to quit at once and if I refuse I should tell him you're desperately in love with him and that it would be charitable to ask you to leave you wouldn't do that oh wouldn't I when Greek meets Greek what do you mean calling me a Greek pardon my intrusion well what do you want Mr Mr Denine I think I've been here long enough my Mary what are you talking about I've got a better job shorter hours more money now Mary Don't Do Anything foolish we'll talk this over later there's nothing to talk over I've had it in mind for some time and it was just settled today I'm leaving immediately it won't any convenience you any remember you still have Daisy Goodbye Mary what are you doing going to quit get out of here I want to be alone what this Presby tells me you've quit you know what I've done for Jim Denine don't you sure but man and you know that because I've loved him I played straight as a string but you've known for some time that he was you know that I met a dozen men nice men that wanted me and what did I tell them like a fool I'd say to them no no no you can't have Mary Lyon she's a good girl and what did I say to myself like a fool I said Mary you just keep yourself a nice fine little girl and one of these days Jim Den will realize how good and worthy you are baloney but I thought that was all over last night Ronnie told me this there's Ronnie and I like Ronnie and we've had a lot of good times together but when Ronnie offers me everything in the world a girl could wish for what do I do I turn him down like the nice faded virtuous little that I am well that's all over my fine girl very quiet somebody will hear you let him hear me where are you going I'm going to Atlantic City [Applause] all I'll see you later for for for for I can't make the grade Ronnie aren't you just asking for a lot of trouble and unhappiness can't you put him out of your mind he's out of my life I'm reconciled of that let's see this price tag off my night gwn I found one of these on the floor of Jim's bedroom once I knew the girl and I despised her for being cheap and trivial I just don't want to be that cheap myself help the funny part about it is that I'm priced at exactly $8 less than one of the most obvious young women I've ever met Mary dear if my wife didn't have all the money in the family I swear I'd get a divorce and marry you I didn't ask you to buy my violets no no well now Miss Robinson the Chicago train arrived a half hour ago and I'm sure he'll come direct to the office I'll tell him did you have a nice trip horrible let me alone I can still take off my own coat over the last 14 nights I spent nine of them in po W how are things Running Oh everything's perfect that uh did that ought to go out I wired in Saturday oh well no but why wasn't it shipped oh it wasn't Mark V the other orders I walking have they been sent no I thought I'd better hold them till you get back go out and get all that stuff and get it off right away well I can you can't why not well I put them all in a folder and took them up to your house telephone my house and have marked my Val bring the folder down here right away well

clothes can be Savaged so what are you talking about well Martin thinks he can fix some of your clothes as soon as he gets out of the hospital hospital how did this fire start well the firemen were very nasty they said it started from my cigarette your cigarette what were you doing smoking in my house why I just sat down and smoke a cigarette and don't you believe it Jim I didn't fall asleep I was just thinking with my eyes closed are you sure you've told me everything think carefully now is the firm going into bankruptcy or is my fiance dead oh no Miss Robinson's not dead she's been

been leaping in and out of pulmer and living in Lumber camps and I simply didn't have the time well I'm glad you don't have to travel often I don't fancy myself as a neglected wife I've got to do a lot of traveling the paper business is in a critical State newspapers are buying up their own Mills syndicates are being formed for the next year I'm going to be a leaping tuner all over these United States but you don't have to do all the dirty work but I do no one else can do it as well I'm not blowing my own horn it's simply the truth and we might as well face it it's much better to face things in advance isn't it yes dear and now please run along I look to my neck in trouble why I ever let Mary Lyndon get away from me I I have my head examined that's all if I can find her now i' give her half the company to come back I think not huh do you think I want a woman around here who's madly in love with you Mary in love with me rot you did a lot of night work together you two so listen
