The Office Wife Page #2

What I mean is, charm counts ..

But you got this on your brain.

Don't forget that, Anne.

Indeed I won't, Mr McGowan.

Now run along. Fix your face.

Thank you.

What's the idea?

Sis, aren't you going to work?

Sis!

No.

Fired?

I thought you would be.

You know you can't mess people

around the way you do.

Who made a play for you?

Nobody.

Oh, don't tell me that, Anne.

Honestly, you ought to

get wise to yourself.

Take me for instance.

I gained six pounds.

Maybe more.

But still I'm the pet model

of the lead dress shop.

And you know why?

Because I let that fraud of a manager

kiss me on the ear every now and then.

I got my raise on brains.

Not good looks.

Mr McGowan said so.

Yeah, how much is your raise?

A dollar a week?

If you come home nights before I'm

asleep, you might learn something.

I'm the President's private secretary

and I've got a week's vacation.

I'm to handle the office until

he gets back from Europe.

My salary is forty-five a week

and how do you like that?

You wouldn't rib your

big sister, would you?

Just come back lunchtime and see me get

up for breakfast if you think I kid you.

You have the darnedest luck.

You know, darling.

With my luck and your ears, the

Murdock sisters should get ahead.

Oh gee honey, I'm glad.

Oh I'm not cross. Here, kiss me.

I'm terribly glad, Sis.

Gee, I'm glad. How'd you get it?

Old Andrews resigned.

They say the boss found out

he was in love with him.

They think he told her he

was getting married, see.

And he sent her home the other night

in the car and the chauffeur said ..

She balled all the way.

What kind of a sheik

is this boss of yours?

He won't be hard to have in the office.

Strictly business, huh?

Strictly.

Says you.

"Little Miss Efficiency" from

now on. Is that it?

To perfection.

And in ten years they'll be wheeling

you down to the automobile.

Gee, I wish I had your chance.

You'd muff it, just like Andrews did.

You think so?

All she had was efficiency.

All you've got is a

doubtful thirty-four.

And I suppose when you have both, like

you, it's just too bad for the boss, huh?

Let me tell you something.

I'm not going to give the best years of

my life to getting stung like Andrews.

I'm glad you realize that.

Don't you suppose I know what

this business game is for a girl?

It's about as fair as the marriage game.

Catch as catch can, and anything goes.

I'm glad you realize that.

Why do you suppose I've

been coming home nights?

Getting my beauty sleep.

[ Buzzer ]

Oh, you talk to him.

Hello? Ted?

Anne is not going to

the office this morning.

Nah, she's got a vacation.

Yeah.

He wants to show you his new Ford.

Oh tell him to call by and by.
