As Ed was leaving the office he turned and said, "Say, Dick, I wish you'd give that youngster Talbot a talking to. . . . I know he's a friend of yours so I don't like to do it, but Jesus Christ, he's gone and cal ed up again say-ing he's in bed with the grippe. That's the third time this month."
Dick wrinkled up his brows. "I don't know what to do about him, Ed. He's a nice kid al right but if he won't knuckle down to serious work. . . I guess we'l have to let him go. We certainly can't let drinking acquaintance stand in the way of the efficiency of the office. These kids al drink too much anyway."
After Ed had gone Dick found on his desk a big laven-der envelope marked Personal. A whiff of strong perfume came out when he opened it. It was an invitation from Myra Bingham to come to the housewarming of her studio on Central Park South. He was stil reading it when Miss Hil es' voice came out of the interoffice phone. "There's Mr. Henry B. Furness of the Furness Corporation says he must speak to Mr. Moorehouse at once."
"Put him on my phone, Miss Hil es. I'l talk to him. . . and, by the way, put a social engagement on my engagement pad. . .
January fifteenth at five o'clock. . . reception Miss Myra Bingham, 36 Central Park South."
