flowers But he did not telephone
to Joan.
He came as near to it as placing
one finger on the dial, then hest
tated. No, he wouldn't call. What
good could come of it?
The breach between them which
had begun when Joan had driven
to the barbecue with Jim Warf1eld
had widened until now there seemed
no way to bridge it. He had been
confused, mistaken.
The talk with his father had
clarified this confusion somewhat,

The encounter with Joan at the

had hoped for something's word a
gesture. a look or tone-that would
bring them closer together. But it
had not come.
Bob remembered the flash in her
eyes when he had criticised Jim

proposal. Don't you think you
had better go back to your friends?"
Strange how he had allowed him

of this girl. It seemed impossible

that was over! He was through.

The third day after the accident

the days that followed Joan
fought TO protect Pat from the in

II had been hard at the hospital
but there had been excitement, even

and death. Flowers had come

from the Office employees with whom
Pat had worked. II brought the
girl such poignant memories OF

Mother, Pats gone!"

Joan put the note in her moth

as Mrs. Waring collapsed weakly
into a chair, Joan was on her knees
beside her.
There, dearl What an idiot 1

thing will be all right. I'm going
after her!"
Going where?" Mrs. waring
raised tear-f1lled eyes. "Oh, Joan,
how can you find her?"
I'll wire the Travellers Aid in
New York to meet her and take
care of her until I come
Darling, do you think they'll do
it?" Mrs. Warning wrung her hands
helplessly, tears pouring down her
cheeks.
"Of course. Now, dear, you must
not worryl"
Bill, with masculine practically,
was at the telephone on the stairs.
He returned in a moment.
Pats train left less than ten
minutes ago. There's another leav-
ing at $40 and they both reach
New York about the same time.
Hurry into your things, Sis. I'll get
the car out"
Joan was slipping into her clothes
now trying to talk cheerfully. Girls
do such crazy things, mother, and
then regret it long before they reach
their destination Pat probably
won't turn around. You know how
she is! But they'll meet her at the
train and SHE'LL be glad and re-
lleved to know I'm coming"
But suppose she doesn't waltz"
Then they'll persuade her to.
It's really wonderful how quickly

Joan was planning the telegram
that Bill would send: Meet Pat

BY the time the train arrived in

The minute the train leaves"

Mother. And if she isn't" Joan
heSitated, hating to let doubts creep
in. 1t will be only a question of

I'll get in touch with them the frs

Joan kissed them. Then the train
was pulling out. Joan'S heart ached

Pat moving about like ghost of
her former self. A sense Of loss
spread over the entire household
With Pat no longer working,
Joan insisted that her sister ac-
company her on her round of les
sons. After the first few days
Pat rebeled.
1t was boring to listen to Joan
coaching. to see her don the school
marm" expression and turn AGA
demic. 1t was even more trying to
sit in the car outside and wait.
Waiting was a terrible trial for
impatient Pat who had always
danced or skipped or run through
the hours. Ard waiting for time
to heal a fresh wound was a pain
full process.
Joan and Pat, coming out of a
- department store one day at
noon, ran into two girls who had
been employed at store near
Forrester's.
They eyed Pat curiously, spoke
frigidly. and moved on. Spots of
color sprang to Pats cheeks. She
was wearing black hat with a
saucy bunch Of cherries at one side,
dropping against her blond curls.
Her dress was white with small red
polka dots.
Guess I've given them something
to talk about" Pat said bitterly.
Cant you hear them saying I
should be wearing black for killing
him? They think I'm heartless and
wild and"
"Oh, don't Pat!" Joan inter-
rupted. knowing the suffering be-
hind the words.
One morning Joan slept later
than usual and awoke to find that
Pat had dressed before her. Joan
went into the bathroom and turned
on her bath. A few minutes later
she came downstairs. Her mother
was sitting in the living room.
"Everythings hot, dear. I'll turn
the gas on under the coffee"
Don't get up, Mother. Sorry I

asked.
"Pat!" Joan said sharply. why
no! She's not upstairs. 1 thought
she was with you"
Perhaps she's in Benny's room"
IT didn't hear them talking"
Joan was running upstairs. She
opened the door of Benny's room
and a quick glance confirmed her
fears. Pat was not there. Benny
still was sleeping, his delicate fea-
lures in the early morning light
looking almost as though they were
chiseled in marble. Joan softly
closed the door and went into her
own room.
On the desk, lying fiat, was a
small square of white paper. Joan
turned it over with trembling fin
gers and read;
Darling: I'm running away be-
cause it is unbearable to stay here.

that reminds me of Jerry and of all
the trouble I've brought you. I had

to keep me in New York until 1

Joan laid the note aside and
looked at her watch. Seven fifty

before he left for New York this
morning: "Is there any one in
Hollywood who will be able to follow
Marie DreSSler?"
We all know that is a tough ques-
ton, but he said: Eyes. May Rob-
Sol is coming right along and she
has jumped overnight into fame"
With the Hollywood prediction
putting Miss Hepburn at the top of
the movie heap, that naturally
leaves Greta Carlo in a trailing po-
sition.
You have asked me many times
what new stars are in the making.
So I put it up to MI. Brown, who
named Myrna 10y and Gene Parker,
a 16-year-old girl.
Jean Harlow, of course, is set"
he told me, and Bob Montgomery
is getting stronger"
I certainly agree with the Holly
wood prediction that Miss Hepburn
will be the greatest thing on the
movie horizon when the movie year
is yer and I predict she will get
the movie academy award this year.
Mr.. Brown has directed Carlo
five times and is preparing to direct
Joan Crawford in another picture

won the Academy award for her
work in that picture.
