Someone came over to speak To
Maris Farrell just then and Rori-
mer was lef. alone for a minute or
two with his thoughts. and he had
opportunity to observe Anne Win
ter and to remark that the man
with her was being very attentive.
Frank Maury, Collins had said his
name was, and Dan remembered
that Paul Collier had found occa-
sion 70 mention him once or twice
Of late In his column. Collier had
said that Maury, who was a free
lance actor, was riding on q sud-
den wave Of feminine popularity,
and two OF the larger studios were
trying to get him to sign a con-
tract.
Maury had dark, curling hair
which Dan thought was In need of
trimming, and he was bronzed to
the color OF an Indian. But he
looked like a young god, and Ian
found IL easy to believe that he
might have found great favor among
women screen devoteeS. He and
Anne we're sitting together on @

animatedly and gesturing fluently
with his hands. Rorimer caught
Anne's eye once. and she smiled,
but Maris Farrell's low voice beside
him brought him back to her.
The Mexican finished Ramona"
and bowed and made a smiling exit
and presently there was the sound
Of an orchestra from the ballroom.
and Mrs. Collins paused for a mo-

there was dancing for those who
tit ambitious enough for Il.
Maris got up at once and took
Rorimer'S arm, but on the way in
side she said. There's a phono-

She was glad when someone cut

found his friendly. amusing chatter
a relief from Maury's impressive
ness. She didn't like the way Maury
held her when he danced. had
stiffened her body against his too

Collins inquired whether she was

and saw that it was Kent.
When Kent saw him ap-
proach he stared at him in
frozen terror, and flattened
instinctiVely against the wall.
He attempted a SCream-but
accomplished only a dry, noise
less wheeze. Morgan turned
his back on him. He stood a
moment in the doorway of the
cell and looked out over TIE
corridor below. where Butch's
men were fighting their losing
battle.
Morgan turned and looked
down at him. Kent raised his
face in supplication.

that the 10 other guards who
were huddled at the bottom

murder was a thrill.
Morgan knew that he must
act quickly. Olsen had re-
turned to his post. He was
standing with his back to the
open door. He had no fear
that the guards would attemp.
to get out, as it would mean
only a Speedier and surer

TIMELY WORDS
ON PROPER
ETIQUETTE
By Mrs. C. Beeckman
Asking Permission to Call

Asking Permission to Call
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
noticed your answer to
Mickey" the other day, in
which you informed her that it
is correct for either party to ex-
press pleasure at having met
the other, when a man escorts
a woman home after having
been presented to her for the
first time. You also stated that
in answering, the other party,
whether the man or the girl,
may say. Il hope to have the
pleasure of meeting you again"
Now, I have always understood
that it is the lady's privilege to
indicate whether, when man
is, presented to her, she wishes
the acquaintance to continue or
not: but have also been taught
that it is the mans part to ask
permission to call for the first
time, although after the first
call the girl may extend further
invitations.
Your. answer to Mickey"
would seem to indicate that the
girl may be first in expressing
her desire to meet the man
again. Will you please straighten
out this point for me? TONY.
Yes, did mean to say all of
these things-that it is in good
form for either the girl or the
man to say that she or he has
enjoyed the meeting, for such a.
statement is humanity friendly
and is not a matter of gender.
Also it is good form. too. for
the girl to invite the man to
come to see her, even at a first
meeting. This is an obviously
friendly extending of the hos
pitality of her home; she in
vites a gentleman to come to
see her in the same hospitable
spirit in which she would invite
a lady to come to see her. Don't
you think that this is reason
able? However, if she doesn't
think that this is correct she
should wait until the gentleman
has asked for the privilege-and
men have a way of asking for
what they want!

While they were dragging
Wallace's lifeless body across

engage Raquel Rojos as a
model was not as fortuitouS as
on the surface appears.
A connoiSSeur of women,
AlphonSe, especially of beauti-
3ul women; of ali beauty, for
the matter of that. His house,
a veritable reproduction Of a
French chateau, atop a New
York roof overlooking the ma
jeStic sweep Of the Hudson
and the Palisades, was a citadel
of beauty. Priceless hangingS;
jades and porcelains and rugs
that had known the tread Of
kings long since returned to
the dust; a garden, glass-en-
closed, where orchids bloomed
In winter and tropical birds
ruffled their brilliant plumage
under the swirling snow.
Those who had tasted of the
hospitality of AlphonSe's apart
ment in Paris could testify to
its laviShness, to it's setting in
a treaSure-troVe reclaimed from
the reign of the exquisite
Louis. A unique personality,
AlphonSe. A commanding fig
ure by reason of his flair for
beauty and his infallible under
standing of that which is true
art.
In Raquel, Alphonse saw raw
material for a supreme express
sion of the exotic. Vividness,
spirit, her daring color The
hint of ripenesS in her supple
body. Her eyes-they were in
explicable. Alluring, and yet
he knew they could repeI too

She must not think of these
