going to do with them, Scotty, if we can't make them work for us?"
Hubert laughed. "I guess we'll have to support them, Billy."
"The joke's on you. I'm broke."
Lillian got Hubert to stop at a newsstand and buy all the Sunday papers that remained at this late hour. She sat up in bed till three o'clock reading the furniture ads. The Friedrich sisters could hear her rattling the papers and they wondered.
"Maybe she's looking for a furnished room," Rose whispered.
"I don't know," Sylvia returned. "I have a feeling that she's pulling a fast one."
Louise was ready when Lillian came for her next day. They started out at once. Lillian knew now just where she wanted to go for her furniture. The girls sat back in the taxi smoking and talking.
"Gee, it feels funny not to be at work," Louise said.
"It feels great."
"Yeh, but I'll be back tomorrow."
"Oh, go on. I can't get my shopping all done in one day. You'll have to help me. I'll make good what you lose at the office."
"I wouldn't let you do that."
"Don't be silly."
"Gee, you are wonderful, Lillian. I never knew anybody as decent as you are about things."
"Well, I need you with me."
"What for? I'm no use. You have better taste than I have."
