boss changed his mind, regardless of how often other girls snitched her last two sheets of carbon, despite the fact that she yearned for a new Remington Rand. She was an ideal secretary in spite of Miss Hendricks and Miss Jennings. Miss Hendricks secretaried for the Hrst vice president. Miss Jennings secretaried for the second vice president. They spent more time primping in the ladies' room than they did at their typewriters. They took 20 words per minute and transcribed 30 Words per minute with 2 gross errors per line. But they were related to the first vice president's wife. Early in June, X'Villiams, VVilliams, 84: Jackson, Inc., invited all their employees to a gala spring party on the Star Spangled Roof. All Cinderella Jones had decided was not to go. She didn't have a thing to wear. Then suddenly out of a file listed came a Fairy Godrnother. Boo-hoo, sobbed Cinderella, I wish I had something to wear so I could go to the party on the Star Spangled Roof. You've been a credit to Allied Secretarial, you will get your wish. She took an envelope from the drawer, and with the tap of her wand turned it into an exact copy of an evening dress unveiled in Paris only the week before. You look lovely, said the Fairy Godmother. But don't stay after midnight. Such a party, all the vice presidents, two 45-piece orchestras, colored lights and . . . . . . the most handsome man Cinderella has ever seen. He came directly to Cinderella. My name is Prince, he said, Charlie Prince. Whereupon he took her in her arms and danced with her continuously until midnight. It turned out he was the Boss's son. But just as Mr. Prince was getting down to details about their future date, it rang l2:O0 P. M. Not knowing how to ask her Fairy Godmother for an extension, she said I've got to run! and ran. And I just know Illl never see him again, she sobbed to her mother when she got home. There, there, said her mother, the way mothers do. So-she couldn't have been more surprised when Mr. Prince walked up to her desk the next day and held up a hankie with her name embroidered on it. Gosh -said Cinderella Jones. And'now, said Mr. Prince about our next datef, Cinderella was a terribly sweet girl. She sent both Miss Hendricks and Miss Jennings invitations to the wedding. janet Godfried 37
