"Naturally," Abe replied, and carefully selecting a slightly-damaged cigar from the M to P first and second credit customers' box, he fell to assorting the sample line against Philip Hahn's coming that afternoon. His task was hardly begun, however, when the store door opened to admit Max Fried and his sister-in-law. Abe immediately ceased his sample-assorting and walked forward to greet them. "Hello, Max," he said. Max stopped short, and by the simple process of thrusting out his waist-line assumed a dignity befitting the ceremony of introduction. "Mr. Potash," he said severely, "this is Miss Gussie Kreitmann, my wife's sister, what I talked to you about." Abe grinned shyly. "All right," he said, and shook hands with Miss Kreitmann, who returned his grin with a dazzling smile. "Mr. Fried tells me you like to come to work by us as a model. Ain't it?" Abe continued in the accents of the sucking dove. "So, I guess you'd better go over to Miss Cohen, the bookkeeper, and she'll show you where to put your hat and coat." "Oh, I ain't in no hurry," Miss Kreitmann replied. "To-morrow morning will do." "Sure, sure," Abe murmured. He was somewhat shocked by Miss Kreitmann's appearance, for while Max Fried's reservation, "only a little fat," had given him some warning, he was hardly prepared to employ so pronounced an Amazon as Miss Kreitmann. True, her features, though large, were quite regular, and she had fine black eyes and the luxurious hair that goes with them; but as Abe gazed at the convex lines of her generous figure he could not help wondering what his partner would say when he saw her. As a matter of fact, at that precise moment Morris was taking in the entire situation from behind a convenient rack of raincoats, and was mentally designing a new line of samples to be called The P & P System. He figured that he would launch it with a good, live ad in the Daily Cloak and Suit Record, to be headed: Let 'Em _All_ Come. We Can Fit _Everybody_. _Large_ Sizes a Specialty. "Do you think you will like it here?" Abe hazarded. "Oh, sure," Max replied for his sister-in-law. "This ain't the first time she works in a cloak and suit house. She helps me out in the store whenever she comes to Buffalo. In fact, she knows part of your line already, Abe, and the rest she learns pretty quick." "You won't find me slow, Mr. Potash," Miss Kreitmann broke in. "Maybe I ain't such a good model except for large sizes, but I learned to sell cloaks by my brother-in-law and by my uncle, Philip Hahn, before I could talk already. What I want to do now is to meet the trade that comes into the store." "That's what you're going to do," Abe said. "I will introduce you to everybody." The thought that this would be, perhaps, the only way to get rid of her lent fervor to his words, and Max shook him warmly by the hand. "I'm much obliged," he said. "Me and Philip Hahn will be in sure in a couple of hours, and Gussie comes to work to-morrow morning."
