from Trend Tn New Aofh, Ian Rorimer, Hollywood scenario writer and former New York newspaper man meets Anne Winter, who has come from Tulsa, Okla, to try to get extra work in the movies.
 Dan finds her charming and takes d deep interest in her. She learns from him that he works at Conti- mental Pictures and she gathers that he IS not quite satisfied with Condl- tons there She has worked only one day as an extra herself having been there but a short time but a few lays after their meeting she gets extra work al Grand United,
 Her first day there she meets a girl named Mona Morrison and lm- mediately likes her Mona is living in an apartment with Eva Harley and Anne lives alone and Mona suggests that the three occupy bungalow that she and Eva have seen.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER VIII
 Anne Winter had moved and was now living with Mona Morrison and Eva Harley n the little furnished bungalow on the western fringe of Hollywood. IL vas a modest place Of pale-green stucco, but it was cheer ful and Iell-lighted and "homey." and Dan Rorimer. contrasting 1t with Anne's former quarters could well understand her enthusiasm for the change.
 "A place to live in" Anne said. rather than mere storage for ones body and ones belongings" And she had added. Even If It is 100 close 10 the tracks to be fashionable. itsa home at least; which IS more than I could say for one room and q kitchenet.'
 Mona won Rorlmer's liking in- stantly. She was as vivid as her flaming nair, which was curly and bobbed, and she didn't look a day over 19, and she was slightly tough Tn pleasant, boyish way that he found altogether delightful. She was considerably shorter than Anne. and more rounded and Dan suspected that Mona might occasionally have to pay careful attention to her diet. He discovered before he had known her more than few minutes that she was quite tease and that she seemed 10 take keen delight in plaeuing her friends and receiving their banter in return.
 Eva Harley he liked. too but with reservations. She had been neither cordial nor unfriendly Tn her greet ing. but after a brief smile and murmured commonplace or two had quietly withdrawn from the conver- sation, and Dan sensed guarded aura about her that left him little ill at ease in her presence
 She vas a striking looking per son, though-tall and slender and 1.-the of figure. and langurous Of motion-and crowned almost spec tacularly with abundant pale gold hair. Gorgeous looking, Rorimer thought, at the same time remark ing that her mouth was just a little too wide and thin of lip 10 be beau- tiful; her cheek bones trifH high, and marring the oval contour of her face. And he judged that she vas older than the other two girls.
 Anne had said, "Eva's just a lit- tie uncommunicative and mysteri- ous, but I like her-she minds her orn business. and that's saying a great deal"
 Tt is" Dan agreed. flor a girl"
 Well. you needn't be uncompli- mentary." she said with q grimace, and Dan srinned. Where is she from" he asked. Somewhere down south, with that dravl. You can't fool 2 Tennesseean.
 Eva comes from New Orleans, Anne informed him Mona says sne has been n Hollywood almost three years"
 Doing extra work 9"
 Anne hesitated a little. Eva hasn't been very busy" she said Mona tells me she sometimes models clothes in one of the Los Angeles department stores. She has a beautiful figure
 Rorimer thought: "Yes. but there's something just q little wrong about her She's-she's hard to figure And he had the strange thought that Eva Harley ought to have a foreign name and speak broken English, and this somehow, would make her less difficult Of ex- planation.
 He thought:l There's something about her voict: something-disap- pointing" It ought to be, he felt, low and vibrant like 2, low-strung gull tar; and it was unexpectedly high and wrongly keyed. and in dlshar- mony with her personality.
 Dan had gone over to the bunga- low one evening to call or Anne. II was shortly after their removal. and he found the girls busy with sor1r new pale-green curtains which Anne had that day bought for the kitchen. And it was that evening that he asked Anne about Eva; but first he had been put to work hanging cur tains.
