So interested had I become in the little drama involving Ria and the handsome man l was not aware that I had moved forward to the table be- hind which sat the head of the Service Bureau.
 Did you come to register, young lady, or just to hold up the liner
 The tone of the mans voice brought me back with jerk, and I realize I that had been Standing a few sec onds before the table without mak- ing any move toward registering.
 The man looked at me closely. saw momentary flicker of interest in his eyes but mask of business in difference quickly settled over his face and drawing a printed form to- ward him he questioned:
 Your name?"
 Virginia winston"
 Have you some photographs with your"
 I handed him the postal atroc1ties and began some excuses which he cut short. Apologies are not necessary. We understand" And he glanced al my face.
 As he was speaking he held the pencil poised and I noticed that he was left -handed. I also became aware of the beauty of the hand which was holding that pencil. A slender wrist broadened into a hand of almost blue white color, yet warm with life, Long, slender, taperlng fingers enje with nails as exquisitely manicured as a woman's. It was the hand of an artist and as it held the pencil l thought of sentence that Eunice Tietjens had written in book of poems I picked up in Chicago on my way out:
 You poise it with infinite ,dainti-
 ness
 Like woman under the eyes of her
 lover"
 After I had answered the list of questions he asked-in which, to my surprise. there was nothing about salary-I turned to go. As did so I caught the words from the handsome man who was standing behind: Gee. old man she is a wonder" I turned just in time to see MT. Ballantyne shrug his shoulders and frown as though resenting the speech.
 You're in luck" said Ria as she joined me a moment later. He never asked your price. That means seven fifty sure and more than likely ten or better. I bet you will be called very soon." =
 You didn't tell me that he would ask me whether I had had any ex- perience, Ria"
 "Oh. I forgot thar. You were a goose to tell him that you had none.'
 But I couldn't lie."
 Well, perhaps they would have found out anyway, but you must re- member that a few judicious lies placed carefully now and then helu lot in this business.
 Now, yirgie. we will go home and get your clothes and have your real pictures taken
 The whole afternoon was spent pos ing. I never was so tired in my life ana I wondered, when the ordeal WAS over, If making pictures for the screen was anything like that Ria said nothir., about the little episo6 ? with the handsome man at the Serv.
