her capable, clear-eyed young daughter,
because of the sentimentalized early
Victorian era In which she had had
her beginnings Alacia's rather sweet
ly ridiculous impulse was to shelter and
guard her own mother. But how? The
difficulties seemed enormous for the
moment, but must somehow be faced.
Impulsively she crossed the room and
put her arms around the stocky little
pajama-clad figure by the fireplace. 1t
was almost on the tip Of Alacia's $
tongue to tell about Armand and the
mornings adventure, but something
held her back Instead, she contented

Santini, crossing the floor OF the now
small envelope in his hand. AS usual
several stragglers from the American
colony had dropped in for free cock
tails and the room was blue with
smoke, resonant with laughter and the
eternal grinding Of the gramophone.
Santini, moving with easy grace,
seemed wholly unaware Of the storm
which had SO recently passed over his
head, and he gave rer the envelope
with a friendly enough smile. It was
addressed n an unfamiliar handwrit-
ing, but Alacia tore it open with q
quick intuition as to from whence 1t
came.
If you are not sorry, and did net

It seemed almost intolerable that It
should have been Santini who had kept
the message from her! He stood there

The outer hall was empty and so
there was no one to remark that she

hand It was hundred yards to the
corner Of the Avenue du Bois, and
along the dark, deserted tunnel form
ed by the overhanging trees. Alacia
ran like a child, arriving breathless at
the appointed place. If by some mira
Gle he had waited! If only he had
realized that his message might mis-
carry or be delayed! Anxiously she
peered up and down the dark street
with its cleaning traffic. but there was
no funny, rusty little car parked re-
asSuringly. As far as the eye could see
in either direction, there were no pc
destrians except slow-pacing gen.
darme in a big blue cape, and a thin
little girl, tottering along on badly
worn high heels, big hat box on either
arm
After few minutes the wind pierced
her intolerably. and Alacia turned
away slowly and headed back to what
was known to be the gayest house In

Radio Sponsors
Tone Down Hot
Orchestras
BY STANLEY BIGELOW

Some radio program directors
are beginning to see the light!
Anyone with half an eye-or
ear-can detect the rumblings Of
disapproval the listening public
is manifesting against hot
dance orchestras and choruses
warbled by an adenoidal tenor or
q believing baritone.
Sponsors of commercial pro-
grams featuring bleating saxo-
phones and blaring trumpetS might
order their orchestras to adopt
new arrangements if they realized
how many listeners are fed UP on
noise.
One big-time sponsor. the gro
Gerry outfit that puts on a gypsy
band over N.B.C., has heard the
rumbling from afar. and has
taken heed. This company an
nounced today that hereafter
its dance orchestra will play its
numbers straight" eliminating
racket and So-called personality
sil- ging." :.
Perhaps others will follow in
their train.
