c=blegram from London that Ambassador Dwight w.
Morrow, confidential friend OF the president and a
candidate for the United States senate from New
Jersey. would seek the nomination on a modlfica-
zion platform.

Iona in La Paloma Soap Hour. Greg
takes here to his summer home at
Great Neck and proposes. Uncer-

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER %
Dixie had talked Elanda into hav-
ing the evening gown of silver gray
moline made. II was n day when
she wore a silver gray blouse and it
~contrasted oddly with her auburn
hair. and was SO exactly the shade
of her big gray eyes that II gave
her the idea.
"A silver gray evening gown for one
so young didn't sound exactly the
thing TO her. But when she stood
looking at herself In 1t on the eve
ming she was to make her debut
as La PalOma" she knew Dixie had
been right. The La Paloma Soap
company had requested all their
artists TO appear i'm full dress. For
they were having a studio half fun
of select visitors and wished to make
1t an eyentful program.
Elanda looked like a little gray
dove. A little silver dove with a
gold head. Her eyes were two great
silver stars. that peeped from under
her long. almost brown lashes.
All the way in the taxi going up
town she felt like pinching herself
10 make certain IL was not a dream.
All her good fortune. Her proposal
from Greg. The adulation OF Lord
Percy. Her wonderful Job. Jardon,
Georgia, was a vague dream that
scarcely troubled her. But IL wasn't
TO be for long.
For she sailed into WWBC, her
head high like a princess, her long
gray moline wrap. with the big sill
YER metal cloth collar wrapped tight
~ around her petite s~lenderness,
and the first person who caught her
eye was Mertie Peckinpaugh.
She didn't know why, but she felt
like turning and running. She saw
Suwanee smiling by his side and
waited for them to cross the studio.
Merry stared pop-eyed, his mouth
open:
You're not Elanda Leei My gosh
all fried cakesl ! never would have
known you"
