absurdity of the idea-but per-
haps it wasn't so bsurd, after all.
She had dressed in a hurry, for
Fragonet had been a bit vague
about the hour he would call; and
when he did not appear at once
10 began nervously going over
her toilet. Then, realizing that
in her nervousness she was ruin
ing whatever poise she might be
able to muster for the evening,
she sat down and quietly lit a
cigaret.
A half hour passed-an hour
and still another hour which
seemed to drag out twice as long
as the first. At last 10 could
stand it no longer and she took
up the telephone directory, re-
solving to call Fragonet at his
home. She knew that his resi-
dencc was in Beverly Hills, but
to her disappointment she found
no Peter Fragonet listed in the
book. Then she. remembered
that the more popular MOVIE stars
never have their telephone num-
bcrs listed-or list them under
other names. But she did find
the number Of the Atlas studio
and she called there, hoping she
might prevail upon someone to
tell her Fragonet's number.
For long time the telephone
at the other end of the line SEEM
ed to be buzzing in an empty
room, but finally a weary night
operator answered. She told 10
that she couldn't give out Mr..
Fragonet's number, and that she
didn't know what it was anyhow.
10 refused to believe her. 81
had an appointment with Mr..
Fragonct two hours ago." she ex-
planned. "I'm afraid something
may have happened to him, and
if you'd please call his home and
tell them"
81 don't know his home num-
ber," said the operator again.
"Then have you any idea where
he might be tonight at this
hour?"
"Ncll | should think he
ought to be over at Grauman's
Chinese"
"Where?" asked 10, puzzled.
"Grauman's Chinese. The thea
ter. They're having an Atlas pre-
mier over there tonight, and most
of the Atlas stars are there
"But Pm surc-you see, he was
coming here" =.
The girl at the Atlas studio
laughed. "Wcll, sister, Mr.. Frago-
net always was absent-minded
about those things"
Angrily 10 replaced the receiv-
er. "He'n surely come" she
thought. "He wouldn't let me
down like this the very first
night Somemthing unavoid-
able has happened to make him
late" !
But still another hour passed
and Peter Fragonet had neither
appeared nor tclephoned. Really
worried now. 10 thought of tele.
phoning the famous "ChineSe.'
A hurried voice answered her
after a short wait. ii
"Pm interested to know II
