She consults with Hans, her sweetheart, and though he objects at first, ho soon consents when Freda tells him of the large amount of money she is to earn and to bring back to him. So Freda goes to America, where she gets her job as a nurse girl. But it is apparent that she has higher ambitions, for she is learning: the language. Quick to learn and full of ambition. Freda goes to night school and learns stenography and typewriting. Soon she has a good job and has thoroughly ingratiated herself with her employer. One day he proposes marriage. Freda, however, thinks that she is bound in honor to Hans on the other side, and says "No" to her employer and starts back to Germany: but she has become so thoroughly Americanized that she is a much better American than a German, and when she finds that Hans has been courting another German lassie she decides that America is good enough for her, and back she goes to her old job in the office, which, however, she does not hold very long, for her employer again makes his offer of marriage and is this time heartily accepted.
