I like to do that. We're a big family

Only-home is home, you know. Miss

Randolph Westover said fervently
that she was unquestionably the most

The little secretary gave him a quick

never seen her when she wasn't beau
tiful? There are some stars out here
who photograph like-like a million
dollars, as my kid brothers say-but
they disappoint you off the screen
Miss Deering is even more beautiful,
I think"
When he suddenly realized that II

His disappointment was written plainly
on his face. But for all that Ellen
Williams thought he was the best look

and well set up and clean of face. II
occurred to her that they would make
a remarkable couple-he and Corinth
Deering.
I'm so sorry," she said, land Miss

"Oh, yes" said Randy, doggedly. I'll

Three days later she did call.
