CHAPTER AZ
IN the morning the program d.
rector Of WWBC called Elanda. He
was very business-like as usual.
Miss Lee. do YOU know Suvanee

Il certainly ought to-it's all any,

laughed nervously. Why
We've changed your program for
the La Paloma Hour tonight. We

Elanda gritted her teeth.
every well, III get It and prac-
tice. I haven't IT,"
She hung the receiver Up with a
bang. She didn't know why--but i
made her very angry. Having to
sing Suwanee's song-after he had
told her she was aiming too high
with her opera. IL was certainly
salt in her sweet. pouting mouth.
Dixie was sleepv-eyed. She in
formed Elanda happily that she
hadn't gotten In til five O'Clock.
Bang was home snoring blisstully.
He hadn't any idea what time I
got back" she winked cleefully.

Elanda flared up at her:
Most women would be glad II
they had a good husband who was
a decent father 10 his children.

Apple soupi" Dixie kicked off
one OF her mules. "Wowie! I sure

LOOKED"
TOO bad YOU didn't break a leg!"
Elanda snapped and picked un her
hat to 90 70 the station and re-
hearse Suwanee's song.
III the late afternoon she came
back home TO dress. She put on an
all gold-cloth evening gown short
in front. revealing her dainty legs
and long in the back. She had
a wrap to match. Elanda had
plenty of money to spend on cloth
es. And she spared nothing TO make
herself attractive.
All the way back 70 the studio
III the taxi she poutcd. Because she
had TO sing that darned sOnrl
Everywhere she turned she saw
Suwanee's picture. The papers were
hailing him as the new king Of

and called him a "mere ukulele
player There was more to him
than her diagnosis. after all.
When she arrived she met Su-
vance coming ~ with a woman.
She never had seen him with any,
before. Carefully. SO that ST.
vance would not see. Elanda took
a look AZ the woman.
She was tail and sIeek-ha.red-
n ravinE beauty. And her gown was
Paris itself. III was as black and
shiny as her sleek. crnw-sheened
hair. She was ladened with emer-
aids that seemed to send sparks
from her slanted green eyes
She looked AT Suwanee adorinr-
lv-and Elanda thought III v-as
silly for a girl TO do that i'm pub

2 faint cosmopolitan accent.
ITS rathaT sweet or YOU. ST.

shop. I've always wanted to come
And he had answered with a
low. pleased laugh:
~ had no idea you'd care 70 come,
Camilla"
Camilla Camillal Elanda stole
another look at her and her heart
skipped a beat. IL was Camilla
Barry The biggest stage light on
Broadway. Obi Flanda sat down
and felt very meek. The musicians
tuning their instruments beat in on
her confused thoughts.
The greatest celebrity of them all
called Suwanee by his first namei
And she had known him quite 4
whiie-ard he called her Camilla.
Elanda's cheeks burned. She pre-
tended not To notice the couple
and made Up her mind she wouldn't
let Suwanee know she was aware
that he was there.
But in a little while the sophlsti-

She had no idea Elanda could
