 After the first embarrassment at Judy's question about their mar riage, Chummy suddenly became elf-possesscd. Her beautiful face went grave and quiet, and she looked at her friend. as Judy pat it, 'as if she had suddenly gone to live in the next street"
 Judy" she said, T want you to tell Alan about mel mean about my losing my memory, and being i'll, and all that. Somehow, when l try to tell him, 1 can't find the words; but I want him to know. I still feel rather queer about it, al most as if I'd been born all over again"
 Judy looked at Alan and poured out jerky sentences in great hurry.
 T wasn't there at the start, Mir. Steyne," she said; but I believe that soon after you went away Chummy was very ill, and wh>n she got better shed lost her mem ory. She was we'll and strong again. but she just didn't remember anything about that time. And that's all there is to it. Then, the other day, when she had pneumonia and nearly died, her memory came back"

 "Oh, yes, you had" said her friend. Tt lasted long time" she added vaguely. There wasn't much to spend it on.'
 But now, Judy"
 Chummy's golden brown eyes compelled an answer,
 "Oh, that's all right everybody at the cafe loves you so, ChumlAy, dear. They were only too pleased to-"
 You mean that I've been living on charity?" asked Chummy, with a touch of proud revolt.
 At this Judy flared up.
 If you call it charity when q lot of people adore you. and would do anything in the world to keep you well and happy, and simply g!oat over every little thing they can do for you! I call It something else"
 A very humble look came into Chummy's rroud face. In the years Of her mental stagnatiol she he | acquired a certain way of ordering people about and taking things for granted that was not natural to her.
 "Oh. Judy she whispered. how wonderful ycu've all been to me, I'm beginning to understand I must have been quite helpless and like q child. I suppose I wasn't mad?' she added anxiously.
 "Of course not" was the en- phatic answer. What an idea. And now that you're well again, everything will be all right. You can wo~k, and we'll all be happy and jolly az the day is long"
 Yes Chummy said. T believe 1 can work again-now. Her eyes rested for a moment on Alan Steyne's face. The young man

Judy took one look at Alan Steyne's face and fled. She went into her o1n room and stood under the little window set high in the slant ing roof Her emotions were too many and too complex for her 10 analyze item; but she was sure that foremost among them was joy be- cause Chummy was herself again, and because she was so lovely, so irresistible, and Alan must fall in love with her now, If he had not dcne so before.
 But as she stood there, her face set and pale under the patches Of paint, her lips trembled a little. Her thoughts leaped involuntarily back to that one perfect night of the dinner and the musicale and the violets, and tears that she struggled to keep back made her eyes smart and jingle.
 Chummy put her head in at the door,
 Judy. what are you doing? Come along You've been away ages and ages,"
 Judy smiled into the transfigure1 face with the silver flaxen hair and the golden brown eyes that were so wonderful since they had lost their vacant look. She followed her friend into the other room.
 She did not look directly at Alan, although she spoke to him in h r gay, hoarse voice.
 Well, this is great day, isn't it, Mir Steyne ."

roSe to go.
 What about the cafe tonight? ?" Judy asked. I've almost promised to take Chummy there. She hasn't been there since her illness, you know, and the boys are mad to see her again. Chummy'-she looked al the other girl with a touch of anxiety-"do you remember all the boys - Tony Leigh and Michael Stone and Johnny Plarmel, and all the others?"
 Yes, I remember them, of course" Chummy replied; but it seems very long time ago. Tony Leigh did wonderful caricaturas. and Michael Stone painted that glorious Venus Quarreling with Adonis' that the Academy turned down and the Paris Salon hung on the line"
 Judy gave a sad little laugh.
 They're all the same in one way, one of them, according to the world. The only one who did anything at al! was Vincent Stornaway, who simply gave up trying, and now paints millionaires and their wives. His women are all satin and dia- monds, and, as he says, he manages to make them look just a little Lit naughty He makes ten thousand a year. but he hardly ever comes to the cafe.

 Tt will be lovely" said Chummy, I'm simply dying to see them all again."
 "Of course,' put in Alan. "Cla- rissa must go and see all her friends. What time shall we meet?"
 Judy named the hour. As the young man left the room, he held out his hand. She had to put hers in it. and she knew from the swift lcok he gave her that it was not be- cause of Chummy that he would be at the Cafe Turc that night.
 Miss Morley. the aunt with whom Chummy had communicated since her recovery, had invited her niece to go across the. lian Riviera with her, but Chummy had declined. She was quite strong, and. since Alan had come back, she was itching to get to her long neglected work again. Every body Alan included, told her that she could paint; and she had the feeling that to get to work would complete the reconstruc- tion of her life.
 Chummy had gone to spend Mss Morley's last day in New York with her at her hotel, and Alan Steyne, knowing of it. came to find Judy just before lunch time. She was just about to go to the cafe.
 Come to lunch with me. please, he said. wen go somewhere where we can talk"
 This was the second day after the evening at the cafe, where Chummy | had had reception that might easily lave paralyzed a queen used to the adulation of her subjects. Oh" said Judy with her purple eyes fixed anXiously on Alan. T don't know. What is it you want to talk ahout?"

 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER VII
 It was 2 miracle. Judy could harl- 1g believe her eyes Or her ears. Chummy had mentioned Alan Steynes name. She had spoken if for the first tine since Judy had known her.
 Moreover. there was q difference in her face. Something had cone into It tha. Judy had never seen 9 brightness, q shining beauty, which made it looE, in its frail pal Tor as if 1t were illumined by d flame from within.
 Judy could only marvel as she hung over the bed Chummvs memory had come back! This ill., ness had been a blessing in dis guise.
 Judy was beside herself with .x- citement. Only the instinct of her loyal little heart made her say and LO Lus IISIL lllILSr Ole IllE-l Ad-S made irremediable mistakes m those first moments; but she just listened 10 Chummy's voice. with that new note in 1.-the tender note of the woman talking abodt the man she loves.
 You never knew Alan. did you, Judy? It is funny I should have dreamed about him just now. Something queer must have hap pened to me. I seem to have foc- gotten a lot of things, He went away long ago-I think it was long ago. We were aWfully poor, you know. He was wonderfully clever, but he never got on: and he couldn't wait. you see. It's awfully hard waiting-when you're Q man"

 Dan. Miss Morley is ever SO much better. And what do you think ?-she's got her memory back again. When you see her again she'll be her old self, just like you and mel"
 Bastien Dumont was late in look ing in that night. Judy had almost given him up. and she was frown- ing with the irritation of having to bottle up her feeling af.er ter than anyone else, because he was Chummy's oldest friend among the crowd,
 When she told him, she threw it a. him like q bomb.
 "Chummys got her memory back. Bastien. She dreamed AlaI Steyne had come back; and she looks - we'll, can't tell you how she looks. I never saw anyone like her, So now, you see, it's going to be all right. They'll meet, and Chummy will know him, and they'll be married and live happily ever after"
 Bastien's eyes kindled as they rested on her eager face. He had been nursing miserable jealous thoughts about Steyne lately. He ! had seen Judy with him; he knew that they had been out together the night that Chummy was taken il. . There could be nothing in it, after all Judy could never talk like this | f she had a spark of feeling for Steyne herself
 He expressed his delight, and drank to Chummy's health. Then he said;

 "Yes - some business or other. This old collector he was secretary 10 left some pictures to the LouTre and the Luxepbourg, and there's some dispute that steyne has to i settle"

RED ROMANCE
AT EARLE

The most massive picture made
to date, and at the same time the
most realistic, Song of the
Flame" is now at Warmers
Earle Theater.
The picture is a First National
and Vitaphone production in tech
nicolor, the natural color process
of the screen. It is a romantic
drama filmed against the dynamic
background of the Russian revolu-
ton.
Alexander Gray, Bernice Claire,
Noah Beery. Alice Gentle. Inez
Courtney, Bert Roach and other
well-known players appear in a
huge cast that, including the
extras. numbers many thousands
of players. The realism Of the pic
ture is heightened by the extras
who are, for the most part, real
Russians in authentic costumes.
Huge sets representing sections
of Moscow, Petrograd, other cities,
country palaces, and isolated vii
lagos that came within the
mighty sweep of the revolution,
are accurately and realistically re-
produced.

HOW YACHTING
SCENES ARE
CAPTURED

THE Divorce" Norma ShearerS
new Metro Goldwyn-M Mayer star
ring vehicle. which is playing
the second week at Loew's Co,
lunbia, but only brought gray
hairs to the heads OF the SOUND
technicianS.
The scenes were filmed aboard
the 90foot power yacht, Gentry'
off the coast Of Catalina ISiano'
an ideal setting for marine land
scape, but poorly cast in behavior
of wind and waves.
Because of the many Difficult
ties presented by the rolling
deck of the slim craft. Director
Robert z. Leonard had the sound
equipment placed aboard a more
stable tugboat, which steamed
astern of the yacht, the micro
phonoes and motors on the pleas
IRE boat being connected to the
eouipment on the tugs deck by
means Of water-proofed electric
cables.
The actual recording of init.
mate dialogue on the yachts
deck with a stiff breeze blowing
was expedited by the building
of windshields over the mouth
of the microphone, preventing
harsh distortion that is raucous
and penetrating when capricious
gusts are permitted to blow di-
rectly into the diaphragm.
Miss Shearer, a devoted lover
of sailing and yachting, enjoyed
the rough trip much more than
most of the camera and tech
nical crews who seemed glad
to get back on solid earth after
the choppy Catalina Channel
jaunt.

Cooled Air, Minus
Humidity, at Palace

Two months ago when you were
shivering from the effects Of the
clustering March winds, Cap'n
Joe, engineer at Loew's Palace,
was heard muttering as he put
tered around the gigantic cooling
plant at Loew'S Palace. But Cap'n
Joe was figuring right and that
is why the cooling system at
Loew's Palace started to operate
with the first hot weather Of the
season.
Cap'n Joe knows his coolers
and that is why patrons at Loews
Palace find the temperature con-
slant and comfortable year after
year. This year the construction
department for the Loew circuit
has perfected a device for remov-
ing the humidity from the air
which makes the Palace cooling
plant doubly effective.
