How else am I able to forget
even if the forgetting is only
for the moment? Order me a

You see, Mr.. Hellinger, I
have to occupy my time. I love
that man so that, if don't find

myself bursting into tears. It's
terrible"
I was beginning to grow
trifle worried. This wasn't the
popular conception of the torch
carrier at all, at all. I urged
her on.
We'll" I chirped, that's all
very interesting, Norma. But it's
not quite clear to me. This is
Saturday night. Suppose you
give me an idea of what you did
today in order to forget"
"All right" she said, "Ill be
glad to. 1 don't want you to
tell anyone, but 1 did a very
naughty thing today. Even
though the show had a matinee,
1 didn't play it. I just phoned
in and said I was too sick to
play.
Il really couldn't help myself.
Tommy F. asked me to see
that Georgian. Y. U. football
game with him, and I just
couldn't turn him down. He's
the cutest man ever did know.
Before I met Tommy I had
lunch with Guy l. at the
Napoleon Club. I'm just crazy
about Guy. He's like big bear,
really.

After the game, Tommy
drove me down to the Five
O'Clock Club for dinner Did
I have laughs down there!
There's nothing like good food
and a lot of laughs after a
football game. 1 enjoyed my
self a lot. Order me another
drink, please.
We'll, no sooner was I in the
theater than I received two Of
the grandest phone calls I've
had in a long time. One man
is Wall Street broker and he
still has plenty of dough left,
believe you me. I promised to
go driving with him tomorrow
and we'll probably stop at
Henri's for dinner. After that
I guess we'll go to Harlem and
see the Cotton Club show. Or
maybe we'll go to Comics new
show. I always have a load of
laughs in either place.
THE other call was from
the man I'm with tonight.
He's wandering around some
where and I'll have you meet
him when he comes back. I
don't care so much about him,
but he is good for a lot of
laughs. I guess we'll leave
here soon and go to zelli's, or
the Silver Ball. Or maybe
we'll go downtown to Barney's.
He's such a funny fellow"
Mark Gets Wised Up
Norma had been talking with
great animation. Now she
stopped suddenly and shifted
her sad expression into high.
And that's how it goes. Mr..
Hellinger. 1 know that you,
of all people. will understand
how I miss my Jerry. God.
how I love him!"
I swallowed hard. shook her
dainty hand and returned to
