Miss Mabel Marsh ran a comptometer and was an important cog in the machine that ground out the work of the bank. The young clerks vowed her end of the room a delightful place to work and the little bell boys who sat on the polished benches downstairs and jumped to answer the call of the officers openly adored her. "Say, Belle, what kind of a question do you suppose the Jap asked me a few minutes ago?" inquired Tommy, as he fingered a long, white paper tape crowded with figures.
"How should I know? Why don't you tell me?"
"He wanted to know if I thought a young man could support a wife otf-'-t $60 a month."
"What'd you say to him?"
"That I thought it depended a great deal on the young couple themselves. I explained he'd have to economize."
"The delightful thing about it is." declared Miss Marsh, flushing until her pretty face was as red as a peony, "that the girl the Jap picks out will be sure to care enough for him to do i. her share in—in making it easy sledding."
