in her heart, "but If ever mar.

That very afternoon, Bobbie
had a call from Magnifica
through the central casting office.
She was to bring bathing

next morning for Roy Schultz's

to paying their bills. They rush
into debt, but are very slow to

OF course, there are debts and

cookies of her heart.
But the next morning when she
walked on the set in her bathing
suit, he stared at her in utter as
tonishment.

you. get into this pictufe?" he
asked. Roy send for you. or
'what?"
Boobies heart sank. 1t wasn't
he who had sent for her then!
But she merely shrugged one of
her naked shoulders, and grinned
at him as -heartedly as Monica
herself might have.
How should / know who sent

here and here / ami" Her voice
broke into a gay little tune, as if
she hadn't a care of a worry in
the world. "But-I'm in the navy
now!"
She forced herself to turn around
and march away from him. She
joined knot of extra girls on the
other side of the set. They were
whispering and gossiping together,
At first Bobbie paid no particu-
lar attention to them. Then she
realized that they were talking
about Monica and Gus, and she
pricked up her ears at once.
One Of the extra girls, a silly
little plump thing, was talking in
a hushed voice. Every now and
then she threw a side-long glance
at Gus MacCloud from enormous
black eyes.

Then he turned and walked
away, whistling.
Her Desire
Bobbie stared after him with
puzzled eyes. She never could
make him out. She never knew
where she stood with him. Some
times, like the night in Monica's
flat, he was wildly in love with
her, it seemed. Then she wouldn't
hear from him for days, and
when she did see him he scarcely
noticed her.
II wish I could figure you out,
Gus MacCloud," she said silently
to his retreating figure.
