s back. The installment firm |
|was sorry, but could do nothing, and of course the |
|firm expected her to keep paying for it. |
| |
|Ambrosia left the dress, and went back to her old |
|one. The young man noticed it the next time they |
|went out together. Shortly afterward, when he should|
|have called, he didn't. A collector for the |
|installment house did, though. Meanwhile, Ambrosia |
|was saving to buy another dress. She was quite |
|emphatic about the bill from the installment |
|house--she wouldn't pay it. |
| |
|Once in awhile she saw the young man, but she didn't|
|care for more calls until the new dress was |
|forthcoming. |
| |
|Tuesday it looked as if everything would come out |
|all right. She had $9 saved. Wednesday she would |
|draw her salary--$6. She knew where she could buy |
|just what she wanted for $12.50. It was much better |
|looking than the old dress and better material. She |
|even made an anticipatory engagement with the young |
|man. |
| |
|Wednesday came--Ambrosia went to draw her salary. |
|The installment house had garnisheed it. |
| |
|To-day Ambrosia's job is being kept open by the |
|telephone company, and it is thought some |
|arrangement may be made by which the installment |
|house will not garnishee her salary next week. |
| |
|At the General Hospital she is reported as resting |
|well. She was taken there in an ambulance yesterday |
|afternoon after trying to kill herself by inhaling |
|chloroform.[8] |
