best thing, after all, is to concentrate

excellent enough to make it stand
dramatically over. the others as the

Queenie was a girl who
never said much.
She was not eloquent at
argument and her mental
set-up did not run to psy-
chology. philosophy or long
hot views OF elemental
values. Things to her were
actual, immediate. Her life
had been narrow despite her
several years Of travel,
knocking about in vaude-
vile and humming and rub
bling against many sorts Of
humans in the synthetic
hectic avenues and lanes Of
show business.
It seemed to her the
d Onegin girl had made an
awful verbal fuss over her
brief chat with Stewie and
Wary, and that Eddie was
stewing over it rather
volnbly and impassionedly,
too. What was all this
about She was no unso-
plisticated baby All their
warnings and metaphorical
stop-lights gave her a feel
ing that they were hysteri-
cal about little and were
oyerplaying melodrama
where the plot and cast
were rugged up for . light
comedy.
She had heard out the
hard boiled shoWgirl be-
cause she felt that her volun-
teer lay counsel had sin
cerely meant to Be helpful.
But it had g6ne in one ear
and out the other. When
Eddie spoke, however well,
that was far different, Not
only was he her benefactor,
not only did she view him
as the apotheosis Of all that
was wise and lofty in the
profession but
She hadn't dared say it
to even herself, and didn II
