Remembering Eva Harley's fiercely protective feel ing toward the little red haired girl, Dan knew a moment or two of un- easiness; but he thought: "Paul's common sense--"
 Johnny Riddles voice broke in on his reverie, demanding to know if they were going with him to the movies. Paul Collier yawned and l stretched lazily and got up, and Dan said;
 Well, I'm for it. We haven't budged out of the house today ex- cept to get dinner"
 Gall up and see what time the 1 feature goes on,' Paul told him. I'm for getting bite first and then going for ride after the show"
 Dan obeyed. And after he got the | information he called up Anne Win ter.
 Just checking in" he said when she came to the telephone. Survive the party all right?"
 Absolutely"
 Get plenty of sleep?"
 She had, Anne informed him, slept until noon. And she laughed. Mona" she said, wants you to know that I've had the best of care. She brought me my breakfast in bed"
 That's a lot more attention than I got" Dan informed her, and he complained about Collier

Fred Hurley, the director, was in the party, and he was very attentive to her in an, easy, gracious, friendly way that Anne liked.
