read is true"
Then q queer thing happened.
Out Of all that crowd, the face OF
Peter Temp focused into Julias
gaze. He sat at q small table with
q young dark girl - o quiet, pretty
girl whose eyes betrayed her awe
for this glittering Nadine White.
The sight gave Julia an odd feel
ing and she thought, "She V the
girl he will marry, and she VIII all
ways think Of me as strange-and
yet she is no different from me. 49,"
And then the music began
%. learn to love, II you want
learn to trust me II you'd
have me
It was a dragging, plaintive tune
"a tune that must have been writ
ten for Julia's appealing voice.
When she reached the chorus she
held her arms out toward the skep-
teal crowd, dropped her voice to
husky whisper, singing Learn to
love, II you want me :" There
In the glitter Of the spotlight with
the sad, mad music drifting around
her, she became Astarte-Astarte
Of old, in q modern gown, singing
a siren song in the idiom Of today.
Suddenly the crowd could not
wait to tell her It was sorry it had
doubted. Suddenly 1t had voice,
breaking into the song, making
Julia stop for a moment until it
had finished. And then she had
finished, the APPLAUSE began again,
louder now and more prolonged.
I've done It," she thought, max
ing her way unsteadily toward the
exit. 1--WE done I'll" And they
thought I Couldn't"
She passed bng table, lined
with a party Of guests. Someone
said, "She,s pretty, isn't she? /
can't blame Tom" It was q wo-
mans voice, and 1t was q woman,s
voice which answered, to, as Julia
went by:
"Of course he can't be serious,

money to start this place. Imagine
Tom marrying a night club singerl"
Her face flaming, Julia hurried
toward her dressing room. Smith
Garland was there waiting, a broad
smile on his face.

CHAPTER XIX

Later is was to seem to Julia that
from the moment she had met
Smith Garland her life had speeded
up UNNECESSARILY. Sometimes she
felt that she must look much like a
character in one Of those fantastic
motion picture reels where every
thing moves at cratic top pace.
But she was to learn that every
one and everything connected with
the dynamic night club owner
moved in the same way. Once he
had obtained the idea for his White
Club it was a reality to him and he
moved at once to make 1t reality
for the public.
Within a week after she had
signed contract with Garland she
and Amy were in larger and
much more expensive apartment.
That had been Garland's idea, not
Julia's - but taking Amy along was
Julia,s idea. She had protested the
move at first, but Garland was
adamant.
You're Nadine White" he told
her imperturbably, Nadine White
and you've got to have an adj
dress. I'll Sweeten your salary
enough so you can afford It," 1t
was as simple as that, and the next
thing Amy and Julia knew they
were ensconced in a four-room
apartment on the top floor of a
smart tower. There was an eleva-
tor with gilt doors and an opera
tor who wore flaming red. There
was doorman as splendid as an
ADMIRAL reviewing his fleet. And
their apartment was in keeping
even to the black and gold bath
room with mirrored walls.
II don't mind smothering every
time sit in this furniture" Amy
said, "and don't mind wading up
to my knees in the Chinese rug
but I'll be darned II I like to see
myself taking a bath. 1T startles
me. There's four Of me in that
bathroom, and every time I take
a shower feel like was doing 1t
in train station"
"Or a nudist colony" suggested
Julia, laughing.
The truth was that Julia had lit
tie time to let the apartment
worry her. She did find 1t rather
silly and disturbing to come down
In the gilt elevator and have the
operator say, Good morning, Miss
White" But most Of the time she
was in Garland's rehearsal hall
with the orchestra he had brought
together especially for his new
night Club. And when she wasn't
there she was trying on gowns
all of them white, for she was to
wear nothing else. When she
wasn't trying on gowns and shoes
she was having her hair treated
in a shop that Smith Garland had
selected. Soon her hair was
white and yet not white, and
Julia wasn't sure she liked it.
But Amy thought it was more
than becoming; and Tom Payson,
who often appeared at rehearsals,
told julia 1t was nothing less than
lovely.
But 1t doesn't change you, for
me-" he said. You're still
Julia"
yes I'm still Julia, and
I'm worried"
"Why?"
"All this money that Smith
Garland is spending like water.

can get another singer. But

The Yucca Plant

Yuccas are strangely dependent for
continuation upon artificial pollina-
ton, the pollen never becoming dusty
as In the case of other flowers. II is
a thick gummy mass scraped into small
globules by night-fying female moth.
She flies with the pollen to another
plant and thrusts IL down the stigmatic
tube Of a fioker, thus effecting cross
pollination- She then thrusts her owl
positor into the ovary at the base OF
the flower and therein deposits her
eggs. These hatch into worms, or
grubs, and feed upon the seeds that,
except for her act, never would have
been. Less than one-half Of the seeds
are eaten and some Of the remainder
continue the race Of yuccas, though
some are deyoured by desert rodents.
But perpetuation Of the plants Is en-
tirely dependent upon the moth
