INSTALLMENT XIII

YANELL lived in her boy clothes
constantly during the three days
of rehearsals. On Shells ad-
~ vice she talked, walked and be-
haved as a boy, even when she was
alone with Patience.
BY opening night she was entirely
confident OF herself. It was the eve
ming of the opening that Shell came
in, exploding with amusement.
They're all calling Jan Doc at the
theater," he told Patience from the
kitchen door, "And the plot gets
thicker and thicker. Can you imagine
what an uproar there'll be when they
find out who she is?"
Patience was putting double por-
ton of whipped cream on Shells
salad.
Lets not go into that" she said
shortly. I'm so scared don't even
want to talk about it. I'll live and
die a thousand deaths in the theater
tonight-if I have the strength to
walk there when the last minute
comes. 1t all sounded very funny at
first. But I wish to goodness We were
all in Green Acres right now"
Me too?" He smiled at her dismal
face.
"Yes, you too, you goof! But you're
sort of a nice, we'll meaning goof"
Thanks" Shell picked up a warm
doughnut and bit into it. But in a
few days, when you see Janell Keats
plastered all over the front pages of
every sheet in New York, you'll think
know my ballyhoo too. BY the way,
there's a friend of mine from the
Democrat coming up to interview my
cousin Jan before he goes to the thea
ter tonight"
mol" Patience dropped a fork
''You're not bringing a reporter UP
here"
Sure! Some Of these days these
here woods will be so full Of 'em you'll
wake up in the morning and find 'em
in your coffee pot"
The living room door banged oper
and Jan came rushing in.
Hi, Doc!" Shell greeted her hi
lariously. How are all the little ton
sillotomies today?"
Bigger and funnier." Jan threw
off her topcoat. But every time any
body at the theater calls me Doc
almost go off into girlish stitches o.
laughter. Which would be fatal. 81
! restrain my rabid mirth."
They hurried through dinner 81
Shell could help Jan make up. Witt
q tube of grease paint he TRANSFORMED
her pale skin to a boyish ruddy tar
and added only little color to tht
lips. Her laShes were so black anc
long that he was afraid to use th'
slightest touch Of makeup on them
lest she look too feminine.
In the cafe scene she was a young
artist Her heavy silk smock wa!
bright blue, trimmed with contrast
ing blue, and there were bright blut
trousers and an artists beret Of tht
same color as the trimming on th'
smock. The blues brought out tht
strange powder blue of her eyes, anc

so you didn't have any idea you
were going to land in q show when
you came to visit Shell here! Any
way, that's his story"
Gosh, it was the last thing ever
entered my mind" Jan grinned
boyishly. Tits just like fairy
story to me. I didn't even know
could dance, hardly"
p. Mansfield Briar had been in the
front row during rehearsals that aft
ernoon when Jan was at her best. So
he nodded with tinge of sarcasm.
"Oh, sure you didn't"
"You wouldn't doubt me, Mansie
Would you now, pal?" Shell grinned
with my reputation for truthfulness
at any price? I could not love thee
dear, so much, loV'd not honor more,
ct cetera."
Briar snorted.

little pal"
"Well, she made the front page" !"
Shell grinned.
"And Polly Philip would gladly have
given her young life to make the head
lines. Besides, she did tell me she'd
bump herself of If Chet Sealbrow
didn't marry her. So just cashed in
on her would-be suicide. That's fair
enough. She might have killed her
self all for nothin'.
Jan looked little pale, so Shell got
up. "The star has to get to the the

want to know. Run along, JAM"

like a Cheshire cat.

"Pretty swell youngster," Briar con-
ceded when the door closed behind
Janell. Mice and retiring-like you"
"Sayl" Shell lit a cigarette and
tried to look serious. "If had that
boys brains and talent I'd be mil
lionare today. Did tell you he"
"Wait a minute" Briar took out
paper and pencil. "Let me list all his
accomplishments lest I fail to men
ton the last 1000. If we haven't got
enough paper, guess you wouldn't
mind sending to the corner drug
store"
When Patience heard the door close
she unlocked the kitchenette door.
Evening star., 1936-06-01

"Yeah," Briar nodded, and when he
smiled Janell discovered he was really
human, after all. It'll be darn
sight better story If you let him tell it
to me. Here's luck to you, kidd" He
held out his hand.
Shell slapped Jan on the back.
"I'll be along in a minute, son. Go
to i'll Well wire Aunt Min after the
show"
"It's fine Of you to give me break,
Mr.. Briar," Jan said as she pulled her
topcoat over her costume. Nov If I

had won note in sports in
America. Some Of them re-

continued nj. 3OgdanaS. I re-
member in my school days
under the Russian regime. We
had no sports. There were cal
iSthenics and military drills.
This made for great agitatOrs
but very bad athletes.
81 remember when we first
started soccer football. Mem
berS Of the Diplomatic Corps
played against the Lithuanian
team. Some Frenchmen, some
English, some Americans. From
this sort Of competition and
coaching we learned how to
play.
"Ice skating, Of course, has
always been one form Of sports
in our country. In almost
every city Of the country there
are official skating Kinks, and
in the winters the people may
pick their own streams. The
weather is comparable to that
of the State of Maine in Amer
lea.
ALL MEET ON ICE
"In KaunaS, our temporary
capital" M. BOgdanas said, zone
finds diplomats skating joy
Ously with workers and rubbing
elbows with the folks of the
land. Military bands are as
signed at some Of the Kinks to
play during the evening. Life is
not without enjoyment even in
the coolest weather. HOcky is a
popular sport.
Il am confident that baseball
will gain in favor. The first
game of ball 1 ever saw was in
Chicago. Babe Ruth was there
with the Yankees. / thought he
always hit the ball out of the
lot for a home run. But this day
he failed, and the greatest en-
jOyment / derived from the
game was eating q hot dog and
stretching in the seventh inning.
But know more about the
game now.

CoIoniaIs 10
FACE Spiders
Tonight

The basketball five of George
Washington University faces a
busy program. The Colonials meet
Richmond at Tech Highs spacious
gymnasium tonight, and tomor.
row night they face the five Of
Villanova.
The game tonight promises red
hot action from start to finish.
There's a story Of revenge at
tached to it. You see, George
Washington went down to Rich
mond and tossed the Spiders for
their first loss in two years.
Since that time the Virginia
boys have been on a winning
streak. But the Colonials under
the Reinhart system have been
doing right we'll and expect to re-
peat their triumph Of the early
season.
Hal Kiesel, with So points;
Tommy O'Brien, with 81, and Ben
Goldfaden, with SIS, are the three
most dangerous threats to Spider
supremacy. OBrien is one Of the
best set-shot artists the District
has had in a number Of years.
while Kiesel and Goldfaden are
most effective under the back
board.
No preliminary game is sched-
uled tonight, but tomorrow the
Colonial freshmen will try to add
victory No. 9 to their growing
chain of consecutive triumphs,
with Villanova's yearlings supply
ing the opposition.

A real conner is this lad, tall,
young and new to basketball activ-
tiles at Roosevelt High School.
Joe is in line to take over
Francis Beamer's place at center
when Francis graduates in Feb
ruary. He's been groomed slowly
by Coach Herman Littman, who
believes the lad will fill the bill
acceptably.
It could be said Joe will be put
directly on the spot when his
chance comes. For filling Beamer's
shoes promises to be a big order.
But the lad is willing and ambi-
tious and as said, should make
the Riders a dependable player.
