her husband and baby.
Carmel, at the studio TO hear her
sing her first solo, realizes she will
have to pretend friendship. She
invites her to q beach party.
Now GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER IA
Elanda was more than q little
excited about her invitation from
Carmel Provost. After all, maybe
she had misjudged her.
For Carmel had rushed to her the
minute the program was ended.
MY dear. your were wonderful
Your voice Is too sweet to be true.
/ want Greg to bring you TO my
weekend party at Long Beach to-
morrow. I have a cottage. There'n
be loads Of interesting men TO meet"
Suwanee puzzled as he left the
studio. Why was Whoopee stepping
out OF her character and being so
sweet suddenly to the stranger with
IN their midst? Well, IL was none
OF his business II Elanda wanted to
60. But he wished he had been in
Guided in the invitation so he could
have looked on at. the show. It was
no secret to him that Whoopee had
a crush on Greg or that she wanted
to be a singer.
Elanda didn't leave a stone un-
turned the following day in getting
ready for the party. Dixie went with
her to buy her beach outfit.
There was a paiama suit OF green
and white. Green top and white
pants with large green dots-and
q large green straw hat and green
beach sandals. Her bathing suit was
IN a darker green. with a white
belt.
Dixie looked II all over wistfully.
Gosh. Andy. you make me ieal-
Gus. There was a day long since
past when I was young and gay and
could 20 to the beach and make
whoopee. 1t makes me feel Ike an
old lady" w
you poor old thing. You1l Just
have to be happy In the happiness
OF the younger generation and live
on your memories" Elanda laughed
unsympathetically, wrapped up In
her own plans.
Elanda was on the light opera
program at seven. At a little after
7:30 Greg called for her at the
studio and they started for Long
Beach. With her bagfull OF new
things in the back and her head IN
the clouds, Elanda never had In
her life been quite SO thrilled before.
She was in white from her head
10 her feet-with a sport frock and
close-fitting soft straw hat. Her
auburn hair. splashed against the
white and cream OF her skin, gave
her a fresh young look that Greg
Du Pont could not resist.
He watched and studied her and
summed her up as being the sort
OF girl a MAJ would have TO handle
a little differently from the average.
So ne had decided not to rush her
too much. She did not object 10 his
driving with one hand and putting
the other one over her soft hand
that lay in her lap. Too wise to be
rushed-was his verdict.

The Once Over
THE TRUTH ABOUT POETS
BY H /. PHILLIPS

A poet is a funny chap
Who scribbles stuff like this mayhap.
Or labors to produce a verse
You may consider even worse.
A poet is a funny bird
Who uses language quite absurd,
And thus contrives to meet demand
For verse you cannot understand.
A poet Is a funny gink.
But not as funny as you think;
For fun is paid for by the line
And I don't get a dime for mine!
