FOLLY ood FAREWELL [..:::::::s 2:

 Q p,sEA sNAAhs

DO not feel that you have
 failed me or that I have failed.
 You. Let's only remember that
 once we were happy and that I
 sincerely hope that the tomor-
 rows I will not--and cannot
 share with you will be filled
 with all the things that will
 make you happy. This is my
 farewell.
 Sincerely, Linda.
 She read and folded 1t, slipped il in an envelope and sealed 1t. Then she gave it to the waiter to post and asked for hot tea.
 She waved gaily to some people she knew, joined two of them foE few moments and then left in the twilight wondering if all her life she was to walk into twilights as lonely as this one. She hated beauty because 1t hurt. And she hated be- ing hurt because she knew that she alone had hurt herself.s
 She walked aimlessly along Vine Street and turned into Hollywood Boulevard. Her unseeing eyes strayed from shop window to shop window. There was no place that she wanted to go, no place that she could find peace, no place
 Missy, this is the last bunch" An old woman thrust @ wilted bunch of violets almost into her face. Their fresh, sweet scent rose to her nostrils. She took them in both her hands for Q minute and gave the old woman a dollar.
 She stood there for moment looking at the violets and thinking of Pete. Pete had loved herl She had to know if he still didl
 She had less than an hour. But if she hurried she could catch The Chief, the eastbound train. And she would find Pete Gardiner in New York. She had to do itl
 She pinned the violets to the belt of her gray gown, pulled her grey turban on, slipped into Q vel- vety moleskin jacket and picked up the small bag she had packed. A telegram to Beulah would settle all affairs of packing and renting the apartment.
 She wasn't happy, she was ec- static with anticipation when, breathless, she made the railroad station just in time to catch the train. There was no time to make reservations. She had to haggle with the conductor.
 "Why, Lindal You may share my drawing room." It was Honey Harmon. A fly (but not very big one) in the ointment, Linda thought, declining the invitation.

end.
 There were other things that Linda had to do that day toward setting her world in order. And putting the one important thing behind her, she busted herself writ- ing checks to pay her bills. Then she telephoned Sybil Carlson, a young writer who had come to Hollywood a fortnight before.
 "This is Linda Bourne, Miss Carl- son." she said. T heard you were looking for an apartment and I wondered if you would be interest," ed in seeing mine. I'm going to take vacation and I'd like to rent it."
 Sybil came and fell in love with 1t. Could she have 1t quickly?
 Feeling utterly mad, Linda told her she might have 1t as soon as she liked and didn't pause to ques- ton herself or her insane desire to be out of the place where she had been both happy and miserable. She wanted to be away from every association that would remind her of herself. She would like to take a hall-bedroom somewhere and lose her identity.
 Not that she had the faintest idea of doing anything of the kind. As usual, she intended to pursue the routine of her life in a new home environment. She went to her office that afternoon and found urgent summons to the ofiice of Paul Leonhardt.
 Something inside her did an ele- vator dive from throat to the pit of her stomach. She didn't really care what happened that day but summons to the producers office brought a swift unpleasant thrill. Was this the way a writer was let out of the company Why should she be afraid? Her bills were paid and she had nothing to fear.
 She smiled at someone on her way to Leonhardt's office; she didn't know whom. She opened the door softly with a cold little hand. And then she was inside and Leon- haTdt was talking to her" three hundred more Q week hope 1t will be satisfactory appreciate your services policy of re- trenchment makes 1t impossible to give you more ." There was more but 1t was enough for her to realize that Commonwealth was re- newing her contract for two years.
 It wasn't happiness that she felt, 1t was relief. Happiness was some- thing that she never hoped to ex- perience again. But at least she still had her chance to go on work ing and working, forgetting.
 There was one last task she had to do that day. She had a note to write. Deliberately she avoided her apartment or her office. She didn't want to write it where she could let go. She chose no less bright, popular spot than the Brown Derby at cocktail time where she pushed aside the silver teapot and drawing Q pen and pad from her purse she wrote:
 Dear Dix, I do not feel the
 need of any explanation here
 and I am sure you do not re-
 quire 1t. We do not love each
 other any more. More than
 that, there is nothing to say.
 Let's forget yesterday with our
 plans for tomorrow to be spent
 together. I am happy for both
 of us that we have learned now.

Mfr. Gardiner checked out three weeks ago." the night clerk told her. She thanked him and went out to bleak and black night re- rnembering that someone had told her Pete had gone east.
 "Getting my world in order is get- ting to be habit with me-" Linda said to herself with grim humor the next morning when there was no sunshine to warm her heart for all that it poured through the sheer curtains of her bedroom windows.
 She sighed and closed her eyes again. There were many unpleas- ant things to do that day. She must see her lawyer as Dix had advised. Strange that she could say his name without its hurting her. She must try to reason that but not now. There were other things to do. There was one short week be- fore she would know whether her contract with Commonwealth was to be renewed. Before that moment came, she must settle her debts. For if they did not renew, she could not afford to stay in Holly wood; she would have to go home. Home to Newtown.
 Newtown where Pete had been. Back to scenes that would break her heart as Dix had never been able to break 1t because on this morning she was grown up, know ing herself to have been a fool, to have thrown away the one precious and beautiful thing she might have had. Had she thrown 1t away2 Could a man like Pete have loved her and then stopped loving her2
 "ToolI" she addressed herself again as she swung her legs out of her bed. You're rot going back to Newtown to live with memories. You're going to stay right here in Hollywood and if you don't get your contract renewed, you'll jolly well take any job you can get. You've had your lesson in pride. And now to get to work"
 She dialed the number of George MacMillen, a well-known lawyer who had advised her in matters of contracts, and made an appoint ment to sec him that morning. She dreaded having to tell him the story.
 MacMillen made 1t easy for her. Sympathetically he listened and when she had finised, he set her last fear at rest. He remembered the last case in which Thorne had become involved and was certain that Q firm reminder would end the entire episode and convince Thorne that such a night had not been.
 He told Linda that he would pro- tect her utterly; he wouldn't write to Thorne, he would ask him to come to his office and telephoned the man while Linda was in his office. His invitation was Q com mand, Thorne agreed to meet the lawyer at noon.
 And so simply, the episode did

STORIES IN STAMPS By l. s. Klein

A STORM had wrecked the yes. "A sel on which a handsome prince sailed, and the little Sea. Maid, youngest and prettiest daughter of the Sea-King who lived beneath the waters, had res- cued him. She longed to stay with him and to have the pleasure of being wooed by him. But she was a Sea.Maid, with the tail of a fish and with a single, soulless life of 300 years.
 She went to the Sea-Witch and willingly gave her tongue for the privilege of growing two legs in place of the fish-tail and of ac- quiring a soul and the love of the prince.
 Up on land, the prince loved the Sea-Maid and took her to his castle. But, speeches., she could not make love to him, and so he married a princess. That ended the spell of the Sea-Witch. The Sea-Maid had to return to the sea, but because of her blighted wish she lost the remainder of her 300 years of life and became foam- This is the tragic story which has come from the pen of Hans R~vvwvwvvvS Christian Ander- sen, famous Dan- ish author, and l%~sIi (which is illus trated on one of ~ ,ls the stamps issued
